How should I word my appliance question?
Examples of appliance repair questions that will get you the best results:
1. I have a Samsung French door refrigerator model number #RF263BEAESR. When the refrigerator is on it shows OF OF, O FF, OFF OFF on the digital display and the refrigerator does not work like normal. How do I clear this code and what would make this appear on the display? It is 2 years old and was professionally installed by Home Depot and it has had no other issues in the past. The only parts I have changed on my Samsung refrigerator was the water filters and the air filter that I purchased here at appliance filters website. I did have an issue when my children changed some settings on the display panel. I changed them back but not sure if I did it properly.
OR…
2. My dishwasher is a Whirlpool model number #WDTA50SAKZ. When I shut the door of the dishwasher to run a cycle, the dishwasher does not run and it just beeps, what could cause this? What part do you think might be causing this problem? Lowe’s installed this product in my condo 3 years ago. Since the three years that I have been using it, I have had no problems besides having an issue with the float valve at the bottom but I got that fixed by reading the questions at the appliance repair questions website and then by buying a part off of Amazon’s website. The Whirlpool dishwasher was running perfectly and this just happened all of a sudden so no other problems in the past besides the float valve replacement.

Thank you Keith for your input on another forum. I was going crazy and discovered (through your first tip of testing voltage) that the new heating element had broken in an odd hard to see spot. We are now at a more ‘odd’ troubles pot.
MAKE & MODEL
Whirlpool CEM2760KQ3
SITUATION
Electric Dryer heating element breaks upon first use.
ORIGINAL SITUATION
Dryer stopped heating. Normally I replace the heating element and everything back to normal. This most recent time heating element replaced but dryer did not heat. Continuity tested each component (various limit sensors etc…all of which (using novice knowledge) appeared fine. Tested w/new sensors as backup…no change. Turns out the element had broken in an odd hard to see spot (close to the ‘return’ terminal… say about 3 inches from return post of the element.)
NEW SITUATION
Great… had a spare element to installed and…. AND…. the element heated and then broke in the SAME SPOT as the previous element. Element was only touching the ceramic holders (not touching any metal sides.)
NEXT STEP
Given the cost of elements I am shy to simply purchase and install yet another element thinking it too will break in the exact same spot. Thoughts on what would cause an element to simply snap once it starts heating? I have seen elements only ‘half heat’ if the connection was not solid for example, but never snap clean off.
NOTE
Lost the link to the original post on another forum. Tried emailing directly which has not been getting through so now posting directly to your site. Thank you for any thoughts.
Gregory,
Samsung smart TV model number UN58J519OAF will not come on:
If your Samsung Smart TV isn’t working correctly, it could be caused by something with the outlet, cable, remote, or the TV itself. It’s essential to pay attention to the red standby light, which should be lit up when the TV is off and off when it’s in use.

Christina Lodge,
Hi, can you tell us the model number of your Costway washer dryer combo? That way we can let you know the timer and also the belt or other parts that you might need. We can also guide you to a manual and links to buy the parts if we feel that is what you need.

So I have a Costway Mimi washer/dryer combo. It’s worked great. Just recently the washer tub won’t spin along with the timer. Was wondering how to tell if I need to replace the timer or maybe even the belt? Thank You in Advance, Christina L.
