David,
Given the steps you’ve already taken to troubleshoot your Maytag Bravos 300 gas dryer (model #MGDB200VQ0) and the F28 error code, it sounds like you’ve covered the most common issues that could cause the symptoms you’re experiencing.
The F28 error typically indicates a communication error between the dryer’s main control board and the moisture sensor, but since you’ve already checked the moisture sensor and wiring harness, there are a few more steps you can consider before calling a service technician:
Check the Safety Fuse: Your dryer has a safety fuse to stop it from getting too hot. If this fuse is broken, your dryer might turn on but won’t start working. You can use a tool called a multimeter to see if the fuse is still good. If the tool shows the fuse is broken, you need to replace it.
Look at the Door Switch: There’s a switch in the door that stops the dryer from working if the door is open. If this switch isn’t working right, your dryer won’t start. You can check this switch with a multimeter too. If the switch doesn’t work when you close the door, it’s time to get a new one.
Check the Motor: If the motor that turns the dryer drum is broken, the dryer won’t start. You might hear a buzzing sound if the motor is trying to work but can’t. Checking the motor is a bit harder and might need you to take some parts off the dryer. Look for any signs that it’s broken or got too hot. If you know how, you can test the motor with a multimeter.
Main Control Board: The F28 error means there might be a problem with the main part that controls the dryer. Fixing this part isn’t easy and usually means you have to replace it to see if that fixes the problem. This can cost a lot and might be better to have someone who knows how to fix it do this job.
Check for Specific Fixes for the Error Code: Sometimes, the company that made your dryer has special steps to fix certain problems. If you haven’t already, look in the dryer’s manual or go to the Maytag website to see if there’s a way to fix the F28 error.
Double-check the Wires: Even though you’ve already looked at the wires, it’s a good idea to check them again, especially the ones going to the main control part and the moisture sensor. Sometimes just unplugging and plugging them back in can make the dryer work again.
We hope this can help you even though this is a late reply.

We have a Maytag Bravos 300 (#MGDB200VQ0) gas dryer. My wife was drying towels without issue yesterday. When she tried to start another load this morning the lights on the control panel powered up, but the dryer wouldn’t operate when she pushed the start button. I was able to generate an F28 error code indicating there might be an issue with the moisture sensor. Here are the steps I’ve taken to troubleshoot:
Check Power Supply: Functioning
Inspect Gas Supply: Open. No leaks
Reset the Dryer: Powered off. Waited 30 minutes. No response…error code persists.
Check Ventilation: The dryer’s exhaust vent is not blocked or clogged with lint or debris.
Inspect / Test Moisture Sensor: Cleaned them with a soft cloth and rubbing alcohol, then dish detergent. Used a multimeter to test sensors. Shows continuity – no short.
Check / Test Wiring Harness: Inspected the wiring harness and connections – no damage, loose connections, or corrosion. Tested with a multimeter – shows continuity.
I don’t know where to go from here. Can you offer any suggestions short of calling for a service technician?
Troy,
When your GE Hotpoint Washer HTW200ASK0WW makes a grinding noise despite replacing several parts, there are a few additional components to inspect for potential issues. First, check the tub bearings, which support the wash tub. Wear or lack of lubrication in these bearings can lead to grinding noises. Manually rotate the drum to listen for any abnormal sounds and replace the bearings if they show signs of wear or damage. Another potential culprit is the motor coupler, connecting the motor to the transmission, which can wear out over time. Inspect it for any signs of wear or damage and replace if necessary. Also, examine the agitator dogs inside the agitator for wear and the suspension system for any broken or dislodged components. Last, inspect the pump for obstructions or malfunctioning, as a failing pump can also produce grinding noises. After addressing these areas, reassemble the washer, reconnect it to power, and run a test cycle to ensure the issue is resolved. Remember to unplug the washer before conducting any inspections or repairs for safety.
Hope this help!

Hello, my GE Hotpoint Washer HTW200ASK0WW is making a grinding noise. I have replaced the TRANSMISSION PULLEY, Drive Belt, Clutch, Mode Shifter. What do I need to replace to fix? Thanks
Joanna,
After replacing the oven temperature sensor in your Whirlpool WFG505M0BS and encountering a power issue, first ensure the oven is properly plugged in and the power outlet is functional. Check if any connections were loosened during the sensor replacement. Additionally, verify that your home’s circuit breaker hasn’t tripped, affecting the oven’s power supply. Some ovens also have an internal fuse which might need checking.
-RR
my Whirlpool Oven WFG505MOBS one day started displaying the error code F3 (oven temperature sensor) so i purchased a new one and replaced. but now when i plug my oven back into the ac outlet (same one it has always been connected to) it doesn’t even want to power on?
I have a Samsung refrigerator that stopped cooling. The freezer does not work either. Prior to losing cooling the refrigerator started humming more loudly. After it stopped cooling the loud humming stopped. The fridge continued to have lights and the fan works but not cool. The cold were covered in dust and hair which I cleaned with my shop vac. I plugged it back in but it wouldn’t cool. I left it unplugged for 24 hours and plugged it in. Hooray it worked perfectly but only for a day. 2 more times I left it unplugged for a day or 2 and it would work like new but then stop cooling. Any ideas? Thanks Jeff
Christine,
Whirlpool Cabrio Dryer WED7000DW1 stopped heating
Here are the 3 things that are most likely at fault:
1. Thermal Fuse: The thermal fuse is a safety device that prevents the dryer from overheating. If it’s blown, the dryer might not heat. Check the continuity of the thermal fuse and if it’s faulty, replace it.
2. Heating Element: The heating element warms the air before it enters the dryer drum. If the heating element is burned out, or any other parts of the assembly are defective, it may not heat. Replace the heating element if it’s defective.
3. Thermostat: The high limit thermostat is a safety device that keeps the dryer from overheating. If the thermostat is defective, it may keep the heat from coming on. Test the thermostat for continuity at room temperature and replace it if necessary.
-RR
My Whirlpool Cabrio Dryer WED7000DW1 stopped heating. I found the dryer vent was partially blocked on the outside. Unblocked that with no change. I ran the diagnostic on the machine to see what codes it had been throwing. Looks like F4E4 and then stored codes were F3E2, F2E1, E1F2. The dryer is about 7 years old. My guess would be the thermal fuse from what I have read but no experience with dryers.
Heather,
Your Roper DTW4516FW2 washing machine’s issue with the agitator could be due to several reasons.
Possible causes are:
Motor Coupling If the washer’s motor coupling is broken, the machine may not agitate. The motor coupling connects the motor to the washer’s transmission and may break due to overloading.
Agitator Directional Cogs These are also known as “dog ears,” and they allow the agitator to rotate in one direction but not the other. If they are worn out, the agitator may not rotate properly and make a click noise.
Transmission If the transmission is defective, the washer may make a clicking sound and not agitate.
Drive Motor The drive motor might be defective.
Hope this can lead you to fix it!
-RR
I have a roper dtw4516fw2 washing machine. It doesn’t agitate but spins fine. When I turn the agitator it seems like it is grabbing it. But when it’s running a cycle, all I hear is a clicking noise but it does not agitate the clothes at all.
Tracy,
Sounds as if the microwave has a wiring issue.
If both the turntable and the light do not work, check all wiring.
Your microwave may have a fuse that popped or a similar issue.
My microwave stopped turning last week and we simply replaced the turntable motor.
NOTE: Be careful when taking the panel off of the microwave as inside the back of the microwave is an object that holds high energy.
After you unplug the microwave, let it sit for 24 hours before you begin to take it apart.
Here is a nice guide for how to take a microwave apart… What tools do I need to take a microwave apart?

Kitchenaid MW hums when door is shut, seems to heat but, turntable doesn’t turn and light is off. Unit seems to work ok when used normally (heats, etc.)
matthew,
The low-level water alarm (code 9E) on your Samsung dishwasher DMT400RHS/XAA could be due to the low water level error.
If you have already replaced the flow sensor, mainboard and most recently the case assembly….
Check the water level float and if the error persists, it could be due to the water-level sensor terminal not being connected?
Check this and let us know.
-RR
I have a Samsung dishwasher dmt400rhs/xaa that is giving a low-level water alarm (code 9E).
It runs about 30 minutes and then shuts off with alarm showing.
It is not clogged as I can blow water thru hoses and suck water out of system with shop vac (I cleaned entire system, bottom of dishwasher and the case assembly).
I have replaced the flow sensor, mainboard and most recently the case assembly (in that order).
The best result I got was when I changed the case assembly but it still runs about 30 minutes (in stage 1 of the dishwasher) and then shows the alarm.
I know the dishwasher is 13 years old.
This is the first issue I’ve had with the unit and feel it is a sensor amiss somewhere but do not know where to look for sure.
I’m $110 into parts at this point and can purchase a new unit for ~$450 but it seems a waste if it’s a relatively easy fix.
Looking for help to troubleshoot.
Jamie,
Can you give us the model number?
Whirlpool top load washer won’t start: There could be a few reasons for this issue.
Ensure that the lid is completely closed and latched, as the washer will not operate otherwise.
Check that both the hot and cold water supply valves are open, since the washer needs water to fill and start the wash cycle.
Try resetting the washing machine by unplugging it from the power source. Wait for a couple of minutes before plugging it back in, and then attempt to start the washer again.
-RR
I have a whirlpool topload washer that won’t start. It has power and will run through all cycles in test mode no problem. I’ve recalibrated it through the re calibration mode also. There are no fault or error codes coming up. It simply won’t start for normal use, help please?
Pho,
The Supco universal RCO410, 3 in 1 relay, overload, and starter capacitor combo is compatible.
The device is rated for 1/4 to 1/3 HP compressors and has a maximum RLA of 6.8 Amps.
It replaces the relay, overload, and provides a boost for hard start and unbalanced refrigeration systems with or without run capacitors.
It should be perfectly okay and safe to use the Supco RCO410 s long as the compressor is within the rated HP range mentioned.
-RR
Hello, i have an old (unknown how old) Frigidaire fridge, the compressor shows r134a, made by Panasonic. the issue is the fridge isn’t as cold as it use to be, its still able to freeze but at a very slow length of time, the fan in the freezer is still spinning fine, every now and then like hour or so i hear a loud click when it kicks off. I currently have a house fan keeping the compressor cool because it was getting warm to the touch.
Looking it over I think the starter relay is dying, I’m dead broke so I’m trying to figure out if the R134a will be compatible with the Supco universal RCO410, 3 in 1 relay, overload and starter capacitor combo. its that or i just dont have a fridge for the next few months while saving up even for a refurbished one.
Ann,
The most common reason for your Maytag electric oven, model number MER8700DS1, not turning off is a damaged bake or broil element. It is possible that the broil element is the culprit in this case. To fix the problem yourself, you can refer to the parts and instructions provided by Maytag to replace the damaged element. In the meantime, to prevent the oven from turning on again, you will need to keep it shut off at the breaker. Additionally, if your oven displays “12 Hr,” it will automatically shut off after 12 hours. To disable this feature, press the KITCHEN TIMER button and toggle to “- Hr”.
-RR
Hello. I have a Maytag electric oven. MER8700DS1. The oven won’t turn off. I think it’s the broiler element that won’t turn off. I have to keep it shut off at the breaker unless I have to use the stovetop. It gets extremely hot if I have it on more than 20 minutes. I replaced the temp. gauge. I think I need a new control board? Any info would help. Thanks!!
Mark,
Frigidaire stackable washer/dryer unit – Model # FFLE4033QW0 makes humming sound after running for a few minutes.
Your Frigidaire stackable washer dryer unit sounds like, as you said, if it makes a humming noise after the load has been running for awhile, then yes there’s something going on with the belt and possibly the tension bar.
The humming is probably the belt causing some tension or the tensioner needs to be replaced or possibly just cleaned up.
The tensioner could have some rust or dirt on it causing it to have a strange humming sound or squeaking sound.
Once you have the panels off and you’re checking the belt and tensioner, always be sure to check every other component within the dryer as something else could be causing the humming noise.
The motor possibly, or just heavy buildup of lint, dust, and dirt could be causing some problems too, so clean everything out and check all components, replace what’s necessary and the noise and humming should go away.
Please let us know what you find to be causing the issue. Thanks for your time.

Hello,
I have a 8 y.o. Frigidaire stackable washer/dryer unit – Model # FFLE4033QW0. I’m very handy and have done some repairs myself on many appliances but I’m not sure how to proceed with this problem that I’m having now. The problem is with the dryer. Lately I’ve noticed that the dryer has developed a fairly loud RHYTHMIC HUM as the driyer’s drum rotates. During the first minute or so of operation the only sound I’ll hear is that of the motor which is normal. But as the drum heats up this somewhat-loud, rhythmic hum kicks in. The dryer drum continues to rotate and the dryer works as it should – i.e. it dries the clothing. This happens whether I have a light load of one or two items or if I am drying a heavier load – in other words the size of the load seems to have no effect on the problem.
I could just live with this new noise but it’s kind of annoying. Besides, if this problem is indicative of an impending failure of the belt or motor or tensioner (or any combination of the above) then I’d just assume replace the offending part(s) before the failure occurs. I’m handy enough to do the repair myself – I’m just not sure which parts I should replace. My instince tells me to start with a new belt and tensioner. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Mark DiRollo
GE Fridge model is GBRS0HBXARSS. Original defective Overload Relay combo part #513604056. I found 3 replacements parts – WR07X10097 which looks exactly like the original, and WR07X10131 & WR08X10111 which look the same but are different than the original part in appearance. GE Canada says WR08X10111 is the part I should order. If I do, I’m not sure how to wire the red and black wire leads. Any thoughts?
So, how do I troubleshoot this? The TV only works if I manually press the relay on the power supply board, after I do that it will stay energized. It appears to not be getting some kind of control voltage to energize it and keep it energized so the power required to operate the TV can get to the rest of the TV from the PS board.
I noticed that there is no 5v (standby?) voltage constantly at the relay even when the TV is off (I think it’s supposed to be there ?)
Sometimes after pressing this relay it will not stay energized, in this condition, I was able to measure 5 v across the relay which indicates that the other side of the relay is not allowing current to flow through it.
I’ m thinking there is something in the standby circuitry that may be the culprit?

I bought a Criterion washer and it keeps displaying error code E1. I put my hoses on it & took the screens out & cleaned them. Water will come out full force for like 10 minutes then it will drain the water out while still filling for like 5 more minutes then stop with the error code.
Kenmore 70 series Model #110.207.229.90
Type 111
Washer is now working fine with the exception that it does NOT spray rinse water whilst spinning.
Washer loads water just fine for wash cycle and rinse cycle, but when draining and going into spin it will not deliver water for final rinse while it first begins to spin.
I thought this was a timer switch problem, but now it seems as though it may be an inlet valve propblem?
I have no clue. I’m a little bit stoopid.
Any input would be greatly appreciated!
THANK YOU!
I have a Kenmore French door, lower freezer refrigerator (795.71302.012). The freezer door pops open when shutting the French doors. I just replaced the freezer door seal as it was torn. But the problem persists. I’d appreciate any suggestions?

Ice maker creates a large icicle, toward the front, that blocks the rotating dispenser if we don’t break it off periodically.
I have a Panasonic Genius microwave (2 years old) that just stopped working, no power to the unit at all. I opened it up and took the 20 AMP 120 volt fuse out, and then put it back in, the same fuse… and it started to work again. After 1 day, it stopped working again. If I pull the fuse out and out it back in, it works. Would this be a fuse issue, or something further.
I have a Kenmore 665.75273500 gas range. It locks the cook top and oven when the power goes out. After the power comes on I press and hold a button to turn off the lock. Now the display continues to show “LOC” after I press and hold the unlock button. At this point the cook top unlocks and works but the oven will not work. Since “LOC” is still showing on the display the buttons to control the stove are disabled and provide a series of beeps when touched.
When I am in diagnostic mode I can unlock the oven and get it to heat up.
I have a GE over the range microwave JVM7195DF1BB. The unit does not power up. I have tested the fuses, door switches, and all but one thermal switch, they all tested fine. The magnetron thermal switch is buried and near the high voltage items and I am hesitant to go there. I am leaning towards replacing the circuit board is there a way to test it? Am I barking up the right tree. Thanks in advance for your help.
Whirlpool Duet Dryer model WED94HEXW1. It squeaks when a cycle begins for a few seconds and then is fine for a few minutes. This will happen about 3 times during a normal drying cycle. I’ve oiled the gears and motor with WD40 but I now think I need a different oil – maybe sewing machine oil? From what I can tell, the parts still look in good condition. Any help would be appreciated.
I have a Maytag MSD2435GE refrigerator. The ice maker is still functioning correctly with no issues. The issue is with the water dispenser. It used to make a short sound, maybe like a solenoid kicking in and dispensed. Later it started making a humming sound for a few seconds and then started dispensing water. Now all it does is hum and not dispensing water. I did clean the back out, removed the solenoids and reseated the connections. I drained and blew out all the lines as best could. The humming is coming from the main water input RIV-12AE-14 when I try to dispense water. The main water inlet solenoid is a RIV-12AE-14 and the other solenoid is a RIV-12AE-7. It appears the RIV-12AE-7 is doing nothing when I activate the water dispenser. I’m guessing that one of the solenoids on the RIV-12AE-7 valve sends water to the water dispenser and the other solenoid sends water to the ice maker? I’m not sure how the water dispenser works. and where I should be looking for my problem. I’m thinking the issue is with one of the solenoids on the RIV-12AE-7? It’s an old refrigerator but I’d like to get a little more time out of it. Thanks…
Kenmore refrigerator model 106.51793 412 issues after changing out water filter.

i have a LG window unit air conditioner model number LW2217IVSM it will run for a little bit and then shut off and display a CH21 code on the display what does that mean and how do i fix it the unit is only a year old and LG support is completely useless and only wants me to pay somebody to come out for a service call and will not give me any information on the code
I have a Samsung DV395ETPASU/A1 dryer. It stopped heating about a week ago. Since then, I have replaced both thermal fuses, thermostat, thermistor, heating element, and blower motor. It’s still not heating. Any ideas why?
Hi,
I have a ge profile gas range. All burners light but have weak flames and can barely cook an egg, much less boil water. I have cleaned the burner cap and burner base with a wire brush and sharp object(for the slits). It is still weak. Am I missing something or my gas line the cause. I live in an old house with what I would call questionable gas lines.
Hi, I have a GE Refrigerator Model no: DFE29JSDASS Serial no:MZ506056
Still cooling ok but sounds like a motor about half way up in the back of the unit revs up and down!
The only access panels in the back are at the bottom and the circuit board. Not sure how to access the motor? Does this sound like a motor or circuit board issue?
Thanks
I have a GE Profile dishwasher Model PDT825SSJ0SS. It started beeping periodically like it was turning on or something, no code flashing. I tried resetting it, did not fix it. I checked the indicator light and it was flashing appropriately appx every few seconds. It seemed to be working appropriately so I left it. Not long after that it quit working all together and would not even turn on. So I replaced the control board and it did get it working again, however the beeping it was doing in the first place continued and now, just a couple months later, it has again stopped working or turning on. Is there anything else that could be the problem? or should I get a new dishwasher. It is only about 5 years old. Thanks.
Refrigerator will not get colder than 39 deg
Kenmore Model# 253.7034341D

Can’t tell if compressor is running. It is normally very quite. I would think it would have to be running to get to -1.9 in freezer
We have a Whirlpool Gold microwave issue, model GH7208XRS-0. It starts, but is silent, i.e. doesn’t make the usual microwave sound when running. Food does heat up, but significantly slower. Example: 16oz. water heated up by 39 degrees after one minute. I’m suspecting the magnetron, but since things do heat up (although much slower), I’m not sure that is the issue. Suggestions?

Belt squeels about every 2 seconds during agitation cycle. Will the problem be a worn out belt, or could a problem with the transmission be causing the agitator to turn so hard that the belt squeels? Sheets came out of the washer all twisted up today.
Estate washing machine model # TAWX700JQ1. Leaks during wash fill and rinse fill. About 1 quart for each cycle. I can’t really determine where it’s coming from because it sits in a tray, but it seems to run on the right side first, Any ideas?
Jessi,
Can you give us the model number of your Whirlpool duet washer?
Where is the buzzing coming from, the control board area or inside the washer itself?
-RR
I have a Whirlpool duet washer and I went to stop it in mid cycle it was empty, I held the start button down for 3 seconds instead of the pause cancel button and now it has a very loud buzzing sound that will not stop and reading what looks to say 0:00.
I have unplugged it from the outlet for awhile and then plug it back in and I hear the same loud buzzing noise as soon as it’s plugged back in.
I’ve disconnected the wire for the control from the control board and the same result.
Have a maytag top load washer. Have only been using it since March. It makes a clicking sound when off. It will click two times. It does this several times throughout the day. When I unplug it, it does not do it. When I plug it back in, it takes a couple days before it starts clicking again. I was curious if it was an electrical issue with plug or something with the washer itself. I have only been able to catch it clicking once and could not tell where in the washer it was coming from.

I have a Samsung top load washer about 2 years old. Any time its running it fills up with water. Already replaced the water valve, same thing. I’ve come to figure out the plug for cold water is always powered on. You can move it to the other valves and they turn on. What’s causing the plug to always be “hot” instead of working when needed?
Hello – I’ve been trying to fix my kenmore dishwasher and I’ve just replaced the diverter motor seal as I believe this is where the leak is coming from. I’ve replaced the seal, but it is still leaking thru the diverter motor underneath. I did not cover the seal in rinse aid, I just wet the seal and put in place. How necessary is it to cover with rinse aid before replacing the seal? Coule that really be the entire reason why my diswasher is still leaking?
I have an old Frigidaire Gallery refrigerator, side by side.
Problem is that intermittently I open, and the box is at 50, the freezer at anywhere between 30 and 40, ice is melting and running on to floor.
Compressor is off.
When I open, Or if I turn freezer control way down and then up, compressor starts, and over time, returns to 3-4 degrees in freezer, 38-42 in box.
I have replaced start relay/capacitor/overload (Supco Start Kit), and defrost timer.
No change.
I can see coils in freezer, and they are not frozen up.
It is almost like the defrost cycle starts and then the compressor wont’ start again automatically.
I would really rather repair.
But more I just don’t know what to do.
Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
My fridge and freezer stopped cooling. Our new fridge arrived and as they were disconnecting the hose from the spicket on the wall that leads to the ice maker and noticed there is slow leak coming from the screw on the pipe. Could that be the reason why my fridge and freezer stopped cooling? They just delivered my new fridge. If I don’t need a new fridge I will send it back. Please advise!
I have a GE Fridge (a few years old) and thee freezer at the bottom makes a buzzing noise. I cleaned the coils in back and i blew a hair dryer on the fan in the freezer. It helped for a short bit but the noise came back. Any ideeas?
I had a service tech come out one month ago to remove a big piece of ice hitting the fan in the back panel in the freezer (making a horrible noise). He removed the ice but apparently reinstalled the ice maker crooked because I noticed a giant piece of ice stuck in on the right side of the tray, but the left side was empty. It eventually turned itself off (the switch on the door was off and I had not touched that). I also noticed the freezer temp began fluctuating after this service call (never had an issue with that before the call). I called the tech back and a different guy came (who is the one that told me it was crooked). The temp went back to 0 deg and appeared fine, so I didn’t mention that to the new tech. It’s been fine for a month. Then, last Friday I had to replace the filter because of low water pressure but now it’s doing the same temperature fluctuating again and the ice maker keeps turning itself off. I will turn it back on and the temp goes up, but will intermittently drop batches of ice (not at a normal rate). The temp is fluctuating between 0 deg and as high as 17 deg. Then it will turn itself off and go back to 0 deg. Then I turn the ice maker back on and the cycle continues….

I need to put a door knob on my front door. The problem is that right now there is no knob, but every time I put latch part in the door sticks. The door just won’t open. There’s no other part of the door knob attached to the door just the latch inserted in the hole. We have to break it out with a screwdriver to start over. What could be the cause of this, and how do I fix it?
I have a GE Hotpoint electric range. The 8″ burner heats to high on every setting. It seems to be the infinite switch. The only switch I can find is 2600 watts and the burner is 2100 watts. Can I use the 2600 watt switch?
Hi. I have a NewAir mini beverage cooler. (Model AB-1200). The issue is that the compressor does not kick on; however, if I disconnect the thermostat and reconnect it, the compressor kicks on and stays on until it reaches the proper temperature and then it goes off. It never comes back on unless I disconnect the thermostat and reconnect it again. Is there a specific part that could cause this issue?
I have an LG refrigerator board EBR80757408 with two blown SCR components . The lands are totally intact. Do you do these repairs? If not do you have a suggested resource ? Dale Welsch, Stroudsburg, PA
I have an LG LDF9810ST that doesn’t drain at the end of the cycle. I checked for clogs – none. Replaced pump – still doesn’t drain. Checked if it drains at the beginning of the cycle and it does.
I have a Bosch dishwasher with control buttons on the front panel. The on/off start button no longer is illuminated green when I press it. The other panel lights work (cycle selected, countdown timer, etc.) and it completes the wash cycle completely. Is there a simple fix to restore the on/off button’s green light?
Thank you.

I have two problems:
1) PSB42YSXASS GE built-in fridge. The Fresh Food side door will not swing close on its own and when opening and closing it makes a sound. What part(s) do I need to replace to make the door swing close again.
2) The freezer temp is set at Zero but the display shows different temps at times (like 10, 18, 8) BUT the food is being kept frozen. Do I need to replace a temp sensor?
Hi,
I have a whirlpool model# ED5GTNXMQ00 that is not cooling at all. I have replaced the thermostat, compressor relay and overload. When I plug it back in the compressor turns on for approximately 5 seconds and then switches off. What else could be the issue? Is my compressor bad? Compressor fan and evap fan turn on when plugged in.
I have a Samsung range Model NE59J7630SS. The LCD started going berserk, all the different icons and such but the unit would still work. THEN a few days ago the control panel stopped responding, no oven controls, couldn’t even set the clock, no response at all. So I did a bunch of research and decided to remove the membrane switch panel and separate the membrane and clean all the contacts with alcohol, I also cleaned the ribbon cable contacts. After manually drying the alcohol, I then let it dry some more in front of an AC vent (dry air) and then replaced everything. Good and bad news. The good is all the features (buttons) are working again and the unit can be used. Bad news, the LCD panel is still wildly flickering. Any suggestions?
I have a Samsung french door refrigerator (model RF27T5201SG) and would like to change out the water/ice dispenser switch. After removing the retaining screw under the panel, does anyone know how to separate the panel from the door to get access to the switch I am replacing?
whirlpool dryer EED4400WQ0. After trouble shooting the dryer for no heat, I found that the thermostats (reg, high limit, blower) and switches(timer and centrifugal switch on the motor) all read 0 – 0.3 ohms and the heating element read 10 ohms. Any suggestions on what to check next?
Older Maytag top load washer Model A9400S.
Replaced Seal kit,and Bearing kit. Also, new drive belt.
Machine fills properly, agitates properly, begins spin cycle and almost gets to full speed when it stops abruptly. If not touched , timer advances and machine starts spin again and stops again as it almost reaches full speed.
I removed belts, and installed only pump belt. t runs without stopping and pumps out water,
It is almost like there is a sensor telling it to stop: possibly out of balance, but it is not going out of balance.
Any help woud be much appreciated. Thanks.

I’m am working on a kenmore fridge model 106.54606300. The evap fan stopped. I checked the supply plug for the fan and it showed 110 volts but when I plug the fan into it and check power in the back of the fan plug it shows 4 volts. I did purchase a new fan motor thinking it was tired. What I’m I missing?

Hi there, I desperately trying to find out the spot where to connect lever-actuator DC66-00850A001 (ring-ended) for the Samsung washer MODEL: WW10H8430EW/SA. I’ve changed the door lock EMZ Type881 Part number DC34-00026A and it is easy to understand how to connect lever-actuator DC66-00850A001 to the door lock. The other end has a ring shape and no visible connection around the two pump assembly and surroundings. Please share any ideas or navigate me where to search.
I have a GE gas stove model PFS950SEF1SS . Lower oven was on during a power outage. After the power came back on the lower oven will not heat up. Every thing else works fine. No problems with control panel or upper oven. Could this be an igniter problem for lower oven?
I have a whirlpool cabrio washer that is giving me F71 error code which is a suds code. I replaced hub six months ago. The same code just came up and I was wondering if the washer impeller might have something to do with it? How can I tell if it’s bad?
I have a whirlpool washer model # WTW5300VW2
When its cold outside and the temp in the house is cooler the washer spins during the drain cycle. The washer makes a loud clicking sound when it spins while full of water. I was told the Neutral drain assembly was bad. I changed the entire transmission. This did not fix the problem. Now someone said replace the clutch. Could the clutch be the problem or did I get a transmission with another bad neutral drain. Is there anything else I should look at to resolve this problem?
I bought a used Maytag washer today to help a friend. It’s a Maytag MVWX500XWO MODEL. When hooked up, it made some clicking sounds, kid lock light started flashing, made more clicking sounds, but would never load water either. Help!
Flex line on back of LG dryer will not budge. We purchased the dryer 2 yrs ago and the appliance store installed it. We have moved into a new home out of area and are trying to replace the flex line and install the dryer. I can not seem to get the nut on the old line to budge. What could they have possibly sealed the line with and what can I use to break the seal? Also, is it possible to just remove the nipple on the dryer and replace it?
I have a whirlpool cabrio top load washer model number wtw5640xw3 lid lock flashes after tryin to start cycle then just stops until lid unlocks with it still on but didnt finish cycle can anyone help
I have a KitchenAid model KSC24C8EYY04 refrigerator and the ice maker stopped working. The actuator on the door still makes the same noise it always has when depressed but the ice dispenser fails to turn. Also the ice production stopped as well. I noticed the dispenser was iced over so I cleaned it all out. It didn’t help. I also took the ice maker cover off and saw that there was ice partially ejected but still in the ice maker. I also cleared that out as well. Finally I trekked turning the bar with teeth that ejects the ice and nothing still. I also tried turning it on and off and cleaning the sensor that shuts it off when full.
Any ideas. Could 1 motor be the cause of both issues? Is it likely electrical?
I have a Kitchenaid French door refrigerator model KFCS22EVMS00 that is stuck on 0 for the freezer and 38 for the refrigerator. The filter reset light also keeps flashing and cannot be reset. Any of the buttons on the inside of the fridge will not work. Any idea what might be wrong? Thanks, Ger
My oven broke on my gas oven/stove top. But ive been using just the stove. So someone sent me a used kenmore model number 79078642602 saying the stove and oven both work. When it got delivered i noticed the top at the stove is missing the 4 holders u rest ur pots n pans on top of. Then i notice there is no middle pieces for the stove. The top just has 4 spots where the grates would go but theres not even that little circle where the fire comes out. It is just 4 posts. 4 round metal kinda pipes sticking up. I have no idea what to do?
Admiral LNC6743A71 washing machine.
Machine will fill and agitate but won’t spin or empty.
Lid switch seems to work. The timer will move thru the spin cycle but the machine won’t spin.
I do remember smelling something before it stopped spinning, but when I looked underneath, everything looked fine. There was some rubber on one of the pulleys.
Last night I opened it up and cleaned a few things. Put it back together and it ran fine for one wash. Tried again and no spinning. Do I need a new belt?
I purchased a used KitchenAid wall oven, KEBS147DWH1. Not getting response from keypad, beeping. If I hold down Cancel key I’ll get an F2 E3 failt. If I clear that I get a 5nd Hi then 5nd Lo message. Any ideas?
I have a Kitchenaid dishwasher model number KDPE234GPS0. In the first wash cycle it starts and stops every few seconds even when emptying out the water. Eventually it runs continuously unless you interrupt the cycle by opening the door and then it starts the start/stop process all over again
I have a GE, Adora microwave, Model # HDM1853SJ06, which suddenly lost power during use. I replaced the HVT fuses, which brought back power. However, upon testing the microwave (30 seconds), the microwave ran for about 1/2 second and lost power again. I assumed the fuses blew again and replaced with more new fuses. Same result.
What could be causing this or do I just get a new one?
Hi, I have a GE Profile gas dryer. The display works, we display also shows that the dryer is running and it counts down the minutes of the drying time. Problem is nothing is running.

I have a bosch nexxt 500 washer, that I just replace the drain pump. After reassembly, the latch lock no longer functions (it did prior to disassembly). I did not bump or knock it, just unscrewed and rescrewed it to the body of the washer. The latch buzzes 3 times, pauses and repeats the sequence three times before showing error code E01. I am trying to figure out if there is a way to bypass the lock, or if it is an alignment issue.
Any guidance or ideas?
I have a Samsung Refrigerator Model RF263BEAESR/AA 04. I’m having issues with the freezer not getting cold. The refrigerator side seems to be OK. I have replace the inverter board which didn’t change anything. I did the self diagnostic which showed no error. Tested compressor for continuity which tested fine. I’m running out of ideas. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

My GE GSHS5KGXCCSS won’t make ice. It dispenses water through the filter just fine, so I know the supply lines are working ok. I did the test as prescribed by GE … turned the ice maker off and then on, then pushed the lever back and forth three times. I do see the plastic elements making a complete turn. What I don’t see is any water feeding into the icemaker.
I then took some water using a cup and filled the icemaker manually. After an hour or so, it produced ice cubes (although they were stuck together so I realize it’s not working perfectly).
Our appliance service company insists that the icemaker (and several other parts including the motor) needs to be replaced and since we have a $100 limit on reimbursement for parts, we have a balance due of $180 for the parts. When I called them to challenge them on this … telling them that the icemaker appears to be working, but the internal hose that supplies the water is perhaps what needs to be replaced, they insisted that their tech was right and they will not entertain any other options but to replace the icemaker and motor.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Am I heading down the wrong path presuming that the icemaker may be working, but the feeder line is what needs to be replaced?
Many thanks for your help
Whirlpool oven model #GY397LXUS03. It will be in the middle of a baking cycle it beeps 3 times and where the oven would display cooking temp, (upper left hand corner) the word “bake” flashes quickly and the light inside doesn’t turn on when I open the door. I have to hit cancel, then bake and set temp and it restarts oven. Today it did it to me 30 minutes into a self-clean cycle.
Sears Kenmore model # 25316082108 chest freezer with electronic controls. Temp alarm keeps coming on. Temp set at -6 degrees but temp stays and then fluctuates between 10 to 12 degrees. causes alarm.
I have an Amana front loader washing machine NFW7300WW0 that gives me a error code with that beeps two times in the wash cycle and pause then beeps three times and repeats again.
I replaced the drain pump, pressure switch, door lock system, and temperature sensor.
It does this random and the machine does not have an LED readout to tell me what code it is so I cannot pinpoint the exact problem just those beeps!
I did go through the Diagnostic test and the error didn’t come up but it always comes back.
Could it be possible that I have an out of balance issue causing this problem?
2008 frigidaire model frs6lp7jmo. Freezer is fine. Refrigerator is too cold. When I turn the refrigerator cold control to off The damper stays open. Is that pointing to a faulty damper assembly?
I have a lg French door refrigerator model # lfx25975st/02 the lower door freezer is not freezing well. It takes like 12 hrs to freeze ice cubes in trays, altho the food in the bottom seems to stay frozen. The in door ice maker will make ice in about an hour and a half, but won’t dump unless I do it manually. Although i suspect this might be a separate problem. What confuses me is, if the door Icemaker is freezing on time and it gets cold air from the bottom freezer, why is it taking so for things to freeze in the drawer? Btw the seal looks ok
have a kenmore (whirlpool?) front load washer model 417 48102701 will not final spin; will drain; no matter what set spin speed on control panel when cycle reaches drain and spin, control panel light moves to no spin; have replaced door lock switch with genuine part; have made sure drain and pump are clear; all other cycles work fine and agitates fine in wash cycle. does this sound like bad motor control or bad circuit board
Type: Gas Dryer
Make: Speed Queen
Model: ADG30RGS111TW01
I am having trouble with my Speed Queen gas dryer. It only heats up intermittently. I have replaced most of the suggested parts with no luck: cycling thermostat, high limit thermostat, coils, ignitor, thermal fuse, and flame sensor. I may be totally wrong, but could cold air coming in from the vent be throwing off the sensors? It seems to only work in the daytime and not during cooler nights.
I have a Sears freezer that has quit working. The control panel on the front of the refrigerator is no longer usable. The light comes on in the freezer in the panel on the front shows something like numbers but they are not what supposed to be on there. The panel is how you adjust The temperature.
I ordered and installed a control board from you a few days ago in my LG A/C Unit # LW1513ER. The a/c compressor would not shut off. Installed board and all worked fine. However, there is still an occasional a/c …compressor always on… issue. The only other parts I see that would appear to control the compressor or temperature are the temperature sensor on the front of the unit and the capacitor that sends the charge to start the compressor. Could one of these be bad and causing that kind of problem?
I have a Samsung Model WF457ARGSWR/A2 washer. I had just started a load of laundry when I heard a loud bang and the washer went dead. I unplugged the washer from the outlet for a length of time, plugged it back and and it still will not power up. I am unable to remove my laundry as the door will not unlock. I have followed the directions on your site to drain the water. Is there a way for me to unlock the door manually? Thanks so much!
Hi… I have a Jenn-Air Electric Wall Oven Model #WW27430B. The ‘bake’ heating element will not turn off. I replaced the oven control board – which wasn’t working, and now works – but the heating element still does not turn off – unless i cut the power. Any advise would be helpful! Thanks, Jay
I have a LG LFX33975ST/03 refrigerator. The fridge stopped working overnight and when I looked at it we found the fuse blown on the PCB assembly main board (we did not see any code before this happened although it was during the night) Easy enough I ordered a new board and installed it. After it was installed the fridge powered back up but when the temp reached 20 deg in the freezer it threw a F DS code. After researching that found out it was the controller assembly with the defrost sensor. Ordered a new one and installed it and powered back on. Same result after it got down to 20 deg it threw the same code. Now I unplugged it for 20 min and plugged it back in to reset the code and it happened again. The freezer is getting to temp though it got down as low as -2 even with the code still showing. where do I go from here?
My Maytag bravos x isn’t agitating for full wash cycle. It will for a few seconds, then does nothing…doesn’t turn or make a sound. It spins fine. It agitates fine without clothes, but doesn’t work with clothes, even very small loads.
I have an Amana NED4600YQ1. On any heated setting, it runs for about 5min then stops. This is while unhooked from the exhaust, so no blockage. It won’t start again for a while (cooling?). The heating system has continuity, with 10ohms across the element. 250V at the wall, with 120V everywhere it needs to be. I’ve replaced the motor, rollers, idler pulley and belt. Now what???
Samsung front loader washer model # WF42H5600AW won’t finish spin cycle we have cleaned filter on front bottom, it is level, we unplugged it, recalibrated it… during rinse and spin it will go down to 5 minutes then back up to 9 minutes… it will start to go into a heavy spin then just slows down
I have a Kenmore elite oasis washer model #110.27032603 that has an error oL before it goes through the whole cycle. The machine is balanced the machine and I checked the electric source for problems that is all ok. All of the cycles just fill the machine and from the fill mode drop down to approx 5 mins remaining in the cyle and then just drain leaving the clothes soaking wet with the oL error code displaying. The drain and spin cycle is the only cycle that will actually spin out the clothes

Frigidaire refrigerator model FGHB2844LF4. When plugged in only OF OF are shown on front panel. Nothing operates- fan, compressor and no lights. Any thoughts?
My Amana washer (model NTW4501XQO)…ugh. when I load and click start, the fill light and lid lock light come on…then the lid lock light goes off (fill light stays lit)…then the lid lock light comes back on and then blinks…after a short time, the washer fills (lid lock light off)…at this time, if I click start again, lid lock light comes on and stays on til end of cycle. Problem next is that although the washer will drain, I do not believe that it is spinning because although the tub is “empty”, the clothes are soaked…this just started and the machine is only 6 years old. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I have a frigidaire freezer. The control panel has been blinking the error code CE, and I have been unable to resolve the issue by replacing the controller or the control panel, as the troubleshooting portion of the manual instructs.
I have a Kenmore HE2 dryer that will not produce heat have tested the thermal fuse thermistor high temperature thermostat and the element and all have continuity. also tested and I’m getting 240 volts to the element kind of stuck on what I should do. Model no is 110.87561602
Hi,
I have a 3 year old LRG3085ST gas range/oven with a heating problem. I set the oven to bake at 350° and it shows preheating on the display with the temp progressing upwards. The display stalls at 345° but the burner continues and the actual oven temp gets to over 450°. Then the ready chime sounds, the display says 350° but the oven is now over 450° and the display still says 350°. If I let the oven cool to 350° actual oven temp, the oven now will maintain 350°.
If I try to preheat from cold to any temp below 300° it functions normally. Also, I can preheat to 275° and after the chime sounds hit Bake 350° or anything higher and the oven temp levels off and functions properly but no chime. VERY STRANGE. I have replaced the main oven PCB, relay board and the thermistor probe. I can make the oven serviceable by doing my two step preheat but shouldn’t have to. Also, there is no power to the convection motor at any temp. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Denis
Installed a brand new Whirlpool WED4950HW0 yesterday. The drum turns but there is no heat. Checked all the thermostats, fuses and element for continuity. Checked the outlet for 220 volts. All OK. The kicker is this is the same problem I had with the old unit (also a Whirlpool) and the reason I replaced it. The other commonality is the 4 wire electric cord I reused and it looks fine. I am mystified. Any ideas?
Jeri Anderson,
The most common reason the thermal fuse on a dryer keeps blowing is the venting system is blocked with lint.
Check all areas of the vents!

I have a Kenmore HE2 dryer 110 . 87561601. I have done a continuity test on the thermal fuse the thermistor and all the components on the heater assembly and I’m getting good readings. The dryer still keeps overheating and blowing the thermal fuse. Also when I turn the dryer on just air the heating element still glows red hot. Is there something I’m not checking?
Skiff,
It sounds like a wiring issue if the control panel goes off when turning the burner knob.
Possibly the wiring is crossed with the burner knob assembly and the control panel.
Can you do some troubleshooting within the range and get back to us?
Please let us know what you find.

I am replacing a GE timer knob but the tab doesn’t want to press back down. My timer moves back and forth a little. I can not get timer knob close enough to timer to snap on do I need a new timer. Part number is wh11x10049. Timer switch wont line up.or snap on.
I just purchased a new Whirlpool Electric Range WFE505WOHW.
The new range control panel does not come on as you would expect.
If I turn one of the burner knobs on it comes on.
When I turn the burner knob off the control panel goes off (clock).
Also when I do turn a knob on, the element does not heat.
I have replaced the breaker and have checked to be sure the plug was wired correctly.
I’m at a loss. Please help. Skf.

Portable air conditioner, Haier HPR10XC6, Serial# 016010465. When the compressor turns on, it starts rattling and spitting plastic parts out the exhaust hole, lower back. Think a fan blade has come apart, but don’t know the name or number of the part. Any help will be appreciated.
My whirlpool gold refrigerator is not cooling, not making ice, not making water and display I’d flashing/beeping on “cooling off”
GE model pfe28rshdss that’s 3 years old. Had an occasional issue with the fridge not cooling and what would alert us to the problem is that the interior lights would not operate and the water would not dispense. When this would happen, I would always find the compressor not running and the condenser coils very dirty and after cleaning the coils and resetting the breaker everything would be back to normal. This time however, after cleaning the coils and resetting the breaker, the compressor runs for a short period of time and then stops — along with the lights and water going out as before. Tried resetting the breaker several times, but same result. Not sure what this means, but I also notice that the cooling line coming out of the compressor get very cold at the initial startup, but then gradually get warm and wondering if that’s related to the compressor shutting down.
I have a whirlpool side by side serial number HRW0449269 that’s running but not cooling and I already replace capacitor relay and starter with a 3 in 1 relay capicator and starter RCO 410 and compressor is running but still not cooling

Whirlpool washer wtw5000dw1 3 years old. It gets stuck on spin during a normal, heavy, or delicate cycle. I then put it on drain and spin and it works. I recalibrated it, unplugged it over night and still not working. I think it started after an unbalanced load.
I have a Whirlpool Gold Refrigerator Model # G16FARXXBO3, SN: K13416352. The freezer at the bottom has been leaking water and has iced up. I’m not sure where the water is coming from. It is triggering my alarm now because the door doesn’t shut completely. I can’t figure out how to shut the freezer off to defrost it. We didn’t receive a manual when we purchased it. I tried finding one on line but it wouldn’t bring one up with this model#. Any suggestions. My frig is not that old. Thanks
I have a maytag legacy series washer, mod mtw5870tw0. it is leaking somewhere and I cannot figure out how to get to the guts of the washer
Fridge will not cool in either freezer or refrigerator…tried turning it off for a few days, it still did the same thing. Turned it off for a few months…same thing. I do not think the coils in the freezer are freezing up because the air that comes out of the vent in the freezer is very strong and not very cold.
Could I have a freon leak, or could it be something else.
My temps in my freezer are 54 degrees and the temps in the refrigerator are around 64…it stays this way, even though the compressor and fan cut off at times..it does seem to run forever, then both the fan and compressor shut off

Hello Have a side by side Sears refrig. During the winter we can get all the ice it can make infact there are times we have to turn it off due to overflowing of ice.

My Bosch dishwasher does not fill. When I take the filter out of the I can press the on button and it attempts to fill but I think the drain is stuck open and it does not fill. Then I realized how weird it is that I could turn it on with the door open. I tried to reset but that didn’t work either.
To reset press the “power scrub” and “regular wash” buttons at the same time and “Auto wash” stays Illuminated. sometimes the regular wash blinks. The dishwasher is 7 or 8 years old and probably need to replace it but thought I’d give this a try first.

A month ago my freezer froze up. After having it fixed I have had several issues with both freezer and fridge. the fridge wont keep my food cold enough and the freezer will defrost and get hot enough for the back wall to be so hot I can not touch it. It melts and thaws what ever is in there then refreezes it. I have tried to tell maintenance what is going on only to not be listened to. I am at my wits end, I have had to replace food twice and I am going to have to do so again. The make is Hotpoint and the Model Number is HTR16BBRFRCC.
Whirlpool Washer WTW5540SQ0 -(Washer is 12 years old.) For several years now, the “Water Level Knob” has been difficult to turn (if I am trying to increase the water level. If I am adjusting for smaller water level, the knob moves better.) Today I finally struggled and broke the knob which I swapped with the “Extra Rinse Knob” for now. Someone told me the “Water Level Switch Kit” (with hose) might need to be replaced and may make knob easier to turn right or left. This advice seems odd since my various levels of water appear to be working the same as when it was new. Does the dial get harder to turn with age? Could it be I need to replace both? Am I supposed to be pressing down hard as I turn the knob?

The other morning I noticed the compressor or fan on my refrigerator (side by side) wasn’t running. I opened it up and it was slightly warm inside the freezer and fridge, the light was still on. I unplugged it and opened the control board to find, what I assume is a ground wire, didn’t have good contact. I secured it and plugged the refrigerator back in and viola, compressor and fan start running. I’ve had to do this process roughly 5 times in 2 days. The last time that same wire actually seemed in contact pretty good as I’ve clamped it down tighter each time with pliers. What’s the issue here? Does my wiring harness have a short? Is there some other underlying issue? I’m fairly knowledgeable about tools and finding information, but not so keen on using a multimeter or repairing refrigerators. Can you explain it to me like I’m 5 years old? Thanks.
I have a get profile refrigerator model #PFE29PSDASS it is staying at 59 degrees. We opened the back the fan was turning. We blew out dust. It still is not cold.

I have a Whirlpool Ultimate Care II washing machine. it’s been working fine, but when i tried to start a load this morning, it doesn’t fill at all with any water. if I close the lid, it sounds like it’s agitating but the knob clearly is at the very beginning. Any advice on what might be going wrong would be appreciated. Medical bills are adding up so i would like to make the repair myself if i can. thank you!
Maytag gas stove model # CRG9700BAW
When trying to use the oven I get a display of “door”.
I have a dryer that is Kenmore 80 Series. Model # 110.7282210 and it heats but doesn’t spin and when I open the dryer door the motor makes kind of like a choppy noise before it stops.
I have a 2015 5 door whirlpool fridge model # WRV986FDEM00.
When I wake up in the morning it is making a constant clicking noise.
The front control panel functions are working except it won’t dispense water or ice.
The fridge is not cooling.
And when the door is open the lights do not come on.
If I unplug the fridge and then plug it back in it resets everything and is back to normal operation.
Then it will repeat the same thing about within a a week or a few days. It has happened 3 times already.
Hi, I have a Kenmore oven 665.78003802 after surface cleaning today the electronic display stopped working. The time still displays but other buttons do not work. The oven stop buttons beep but, of course, the oven isn’t on. I did not allow liquid to drip into the control panel. I have already replaced the control board once so I am careful with it. I think I locked it somehow but it won’t unlock following the manual instructions. I have cut power. No help. Clock isn’t even flashing when I return power. Any suggestions?
Hello, Model # not registed “#WTW8000BW0”.
It’s a Whirlpool cabrio Platinum. Stopped in the middle of either a quick wash or normal cycle wash. I first unplugged and replugged to reset the board. Then went thru both auto and manual (dia test sequences) Attempting to check diagnostic codes, I had powered it up to try. My immediate question is that if standby mode is were I input the code. No flashing lights to indicate that the combination has been successful. Hence is that stand by mode?
GE top load washer, 2013, electro mechanical controls, can’t find model number. water spills over the top of the drum during the high speed spin cycle, (wash or rinse, small or large load). Watching the washer go thru the cycle it looks like it has too much water in the drum when it starts its high speed spin. Pressure switch and drain both check out. I am at a loss as to what is causing this. We have used this washer for the last five years the same way so I do not buy we have suddenly started using too much detergent.
I have a top loading Frigidaire washer model FWS446GHS1 that does not spin. The motor runs and the belt remains still and slips on the wheel. The motor is trying to turn the drum ant clockwise. With the machine off I can turn the drum by hand clockwise but not anticlockwise.
The agitator cycle and drain cycles work OK its just on the spin cycle the drum is locked. Can you give me any ideas as to why this is happening. Much appreciated.
Thanks Tony
my fridigiare dishwasher has ER code on display it sounds like its washing but has no water

I have a kenmore oven (79096414408) that gets the f10 error code. The funny thing is that when we turn on baking the broiler heating element goes on. I tested both elements and they have the same resistance. I am thinking it could be the control board since the wrong element is being used. It worked fine up until today. The one thing we did was clean it a few days ago.
Any help would be appreciated.

I have an Xbox one that I use for YouTube and it works fine for that but when I try to play a game I can usually play it for a bit before my Xbox shuts off randomly with a clicking sound I’ve tried everything but nothing seems to help so if I can get some advice that would be apreciated
I have a LG wt5101hv washer that is leaking water from the bottom. Whenever water is filling
in the machine or just adding water manually, the water leaks from the bottom, I’m wonder if
it could be the tub seals, the machine can’t hold any water inside. What would be the best way
to troubleshoot this problem. Thanks!
I have a White Westinghouse Refrigerator and with a model HRM1708DA-PH and serial #71201545. My question is that 3 weeks ago I went for a vacation and unfortunately I
haven’t realize because of rushing that I accidentally unplugged it and when I’ve returned all the foods are in a disgusting state and so because of that I started cleaning but before cleaning I plug it again and it is working but when I’ve cleaned it and after removing several compartments and plugging it again there is no cooling. I even wait 6 hrs leaving the refrigerator on a max cooling state but still there is no cooling or whatsoever. I also notice that there is no sound. Lights are working, haven’t touch anything on the lower back where the compressor etc. is installed. Last question is that I still have not returned the compartments inside leaving only the casing hanging. Hope you can help me with my problem.
12 year old Whirlpool refrigerator GS5SHAXNQ00
unit started making a intermittent “knocking” sound WHILE RUNNING. read on internet could be compressor going bad, also clean coils to insure unit is not overheating.
Cleaned coils and checked both fans for operation, unit starts and runs quiet, shuts off quiet, cools fine during cycle, tested by letting unit turn on while running opened door and turn unit off, no noise, sounds and running fine.
While unit is running at different times it makes a “knocking” noise, sound is coming from bottom of the unit. Knocking sound last for 10-30 seconds, did it 5 times prior to cleaning coils, made no noise for over 24 hours, noise started again 3 times the following day.
Compressor runs quiet with no humming noise.
please advise what you think is my problem
Thanks!
We have a Maytag dishwasher, model MDV8959SBW0, that will not fill with water. The machine sounds as if it is cycling normally, but does not turn on the water fill valve.
The float and float switch (tested with a meter) appear to be working normally. Using a volt meter, we can see that there is no voltage getting to the fill valve solenoid at any point in the machine cycle. The electrical schematics appear to indicate that the solenoid should be getting 125VAC to open the fill valve, but this never happens.
A replacement control board will cost $100 to $150 or more, so I would prefer to explore any other possible remedies before trying that.
I have a Whirlpool Gold Series refrigerator. It recently has begun to play a short little tune. I know it is an alarm of some sort but not sure what it means. I have also noticed the ice maker isn’t working and the freezer is slowly started to thaw. It is model number WRF990SLAM00

Hi – Does a Supco IC102 start relay (which claims to be universal) work on a LG LFX25960SW refrigerator? Are there any issues with using it for this purpose?
I have a Inglis whirlpool dryer IES5000RQ0.
The dryer will only run for about a minute or two, then cut off.
If i push the start button again it will cut on for another minute if I hold in the button.
But will eventually cut off again.
I have tested all the thermastat fuses in the back for continuity and they all check out fine, another reason I think they are fine is because it does the same thing when I use the “Air flow” cycle without the heating element kicking on.
The timer makes noise sometimes, and then others times it’s quiet, then makes the normal timer sound other times…
I have an Amana Refrigerator model AFD2535FES11 with bottom freezer. My ice maker quit making ice. I replaced the ice maker but still no ice. I took a hair dryer to the fill tube and made sure there wasn’t a frozen line. I also replaced the inlet water valve. Still no ice. There is water in the tube up to the ice maker on the back of the refrigerator. I am also getting water to the water dispenser in the refrigerator. What else could be the issue.
I have a Kenmore Washing Machine series 200 Model 110.22332510.
Only a few years old.
The lid lock was acting up, then finally would not open to allow the lid to close.
I replaced the lid lock mechanism.
Now, when I turn it on, the only thing that happens is the Sensing Light flashes, that’s it.
I have tried the diagnostic codes, troubleshooting, etc.
Most things lead me to replacing the lid lock mechanism-but I did, it’s brand new.
There are a few other things I can replace, but no exact way to know for sure what to replace before purchasing.
Please help. I have never wanted to do laundry so badly in my life!
Replaced heating element and high temp thermostat on kenmore dishwasher heating element still doesn’t work.

My top loading whirlpool washing machine fills, agitates for a few minutes, then pops breaker. Breaker problem or washer problem?
I have an intermittent issue with my Hotpoint washer/dryer.
Just before the machine changes from a wash cycle to a dry cycle the fault light indicating an output issues flashes.
The wash cycle finishes normally and instead of switching to drying the machine makes a click when the wash cycle is finished (instead of the usual beep to indicate that it has finished the cycle) and does not switch to the dry cycle.
I turn the machine on and off to clear the fault and change it to a dry only cycle and the dry cycle runs with no fault lights (however it has been taking longer for the clothes to dry).
The issue started as intermittent but now happens during most of the loads.
When I run the wash cycle only there is no error, and no error on dry cycles only therefore I believe this is an issue when switching from washing to drying only at the moment.
I have unscrewed the thing at the bottom of the machine and had a feel around but I cannot find anything that could be causing a blockage.
Is it safe to continue using it or am I potentially causing massive damage when running the machine even on wash/dry only cycles?
Is there anything else I can try myself before calling someone out?
(my landlord is very slow so if it can be done myself it would be much quicker and easier).
2012 Whirlpool fridge (bottom freezer). Not cooling (slightly cool). Fan sounds like its running. Freezer is fine. Temp set at 5. Repair came out and defrosted a fan (?) in the freezer and then it started cooling again (back in August). Worked fine until now.
Refrigerator leaking hot water from top freezer section to lower refrigerator section even when ice maker water supply shut off.
ET22DMW00 Whirlpool refrigerator with freezer on top, refrigerator on bottom. Has working ice maker. Makes ice & both refrigerator & freezer are able to keep cold temp. Problem is that (apparently) randomly the back of the freezer section (where the cooling coil is housed) will get a boiling hot spot in the lower center. If touched at this time it’s so hot, you are unable to continue to hold your hand against the back wall. You are able to hear the hissing sound of water hitting a hot service. This will last for about 5 minutes at which time there is hot water that drains from behind the back wall of the freezer and into the refrigerator section below through the drain hole. About half a cup of hot water is discharged. Then everything goes back to normal and the heat disappears and the water stops. Then anywhere from 12 hours to 24 hours later it happens again. And this happens even after the ice maker water supply is shut off. So it must be gathering the water out of the surrounding air.
Whirlpool fridge. If my start relay is bad and I leave it plugged in will my compressor be damaged.
My dryer will not dry clothes there is no heat. I have thoroughly checked the heater element it is fine. It has continuity. I have checked all 4 fuses and the continuity is good with them. The dryer motor will run and turn the drum. The dryer will run 3 minutes and then turn onto cool down mode for 2 minutes and the cycle is complete. The dryer is whirlpool cabrio ywed5800bc0

I have a six year old Kenmore Elite top loader. I started to wash a load of clothes and after it filled up with water, it would not continue with the wash cycle. I tried turning it off and then selecting other cycles or functions and it would not even drain the water.
I have noticed that since the problem occucred, the start chimes will still ring when I turn on the power, but no start or function lights come on the electronic dashboard when selected.
Please help me diagnose if I need a new control panel, and if so, is it worth fixing? It a kinda iffy call by its age.
Thanks so much for your input.
The LED light by my water dispenser either needs to be replaced and/or have the wire connection tightened. It turns on/off on occasion like when I use the ice dispenser it blinks as the ice comes out. In short, I think it is just a loose wire, the bulb does work – I just don’t want to spend a fortune to have someone tighten a connection. I am just not sure the easiest way to pop the front panel open to tighten it myself. Thank you for your help!

How do I fix my Samsung steam vrt front load washer if everything seems fine until I get to the spin cycle. It will spin on the wash and rinse cycle but then it drains and just sits there just as it is about to go into the spin cycle. The door locks, the drain pump is clear, there aren’t any codes. It just sits at the time it comes to and just agitates every so often.

The ice maker in my LG refrigerator isn’t working. It freezes the ice but the tray won’t dump. Acts like it is jammed. Is there an easy fix?

I have a kenmore dishwasher model # 630.13909011, when running a normal wash it gets to 2:33 (starts at 2:35) and stops working displaying E:24. We cleaned the filter inside, checked the tubing for clogs and debris, checked the main drain system for clogs and replaced the drain pump, still stops at 2:33. Any advice or help would be appreciated?
I have a Samsung wf80f5e0w4w. It will not fill with water. No error code comes up and I have cleaned the inlet water filter, had the top off and checked the pipes from the 2 solenoids to the soap tray are clear. With an electrical screwdriver I can see power is getting to the 2 solenoids but they do not spear to be opening. Purchased & fitted a new part as I was sure this was the problem but just the same so it is not the inlet solenoids. Any other easy bits to check? Must be something to do with the power feed to the soldenoids
Sharon,
Be sure the Samsung washer itself is LEVEL on the floor.
If not you will keep getting the error code DC.

I have a GE Profile dishwasher model #PDWT580V00SS. It recently stopped working but all the control panel buttons work fine. When I try to run any cycle, it just beeps every 15 seconds. I checked the float valve switch and the water inlet valve with an Ohm meter and both have continuity. I ran the control pad diagnostics and got the following codes: Heated Dry= Blank; Added Heat= 10; Delay Hours=243; Steam= 221; Select Cycle=63; Added Heat & Heated Dry=325. Do you have any other suggestions? Thank you, Joe

I have GE Gas Dryer Model DPSB620GC3WW which does not start. I have made several diagnostic checks with the digital control panel in service mode. There are no error codes, but somehow the panel indicates that the dryer door is open. I have replaced the door switch even though the original showed no electrical problem, but the problem is the same, it will not start. So I hot wired the motor relay and then the gas valve relay with on/off switches and found the dryer works and dries clothes. But of course there is no temperature control. Is this (dryer not starting) an eeprom problem (no eeprom error code)? Do I need to reset it? The digital control panel is no longer available.

I have a Kenmore 90 Series Washer (110-C28922790). Washing , rinsing and draining no problem. But when it came to the spinning cycle doesn’t spin. I need to start spinning manually until it start spinning and depress the timer off and turn it to spin cycle to turn it on at same time (doing this step few time) manually spin it. Eventually it will start spinning to its full speed. I checked the coupling had no problem and the agitator little worn but will replace it. Can you tell me wants the problem. Thank you
Have a Thermador SGN36GW Cooktop gas. How do you remove the lid on this to service? have pictures.
My GE profile PSC23MSTCSS makes ice but the auger doesn’t turn to eject ice. When I push a glass against the dispenser lever, nothing comes out in either crushed or cubed mode. All other indicator lights on the freezer door control panel momentarily dim when I dpress the lever for ice and if there is a normal hum occurring it goes quiet while the lever is depressed, only in the ice modes. The auger and auger motor turn freely by hand but make no noise or a move when the lever calls for ice. All other panel functions work fine. Also, randomly/occasionally the water will not dispense temporarily but continues to work for long periods. Could this be the motherboard or more likely something to do with the auger motor? Nothing is jammed with ice etc.
The only other occasional issue is the temperature rises in both the freezer and refrigerator and rearranging the food in the freezer shelves seems to help that because it always comes back to the recommended temperatures eventually. Any advice on the order in which I should replace parts would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Hi,
I have a smeg sr640xa side by side fridge freezer (frost free) about 10 years old.
Freezer bottom was leaking water (drain hole frozen) but working however fridge is warm.
Defrost heater and fans are working and I suspect it is either the defrost thermostat or timer that may be faulty.
Are you able to tell me where they are located ( I have opened up both inside back panels of the freezer and fridge and cannot find anything that resemble either part. Could they be located at back bottom where condenser is or back top where fridge temp control panel is?
Thanks in advance for your time and help.
I have a 10 y/o whirlpool ref/fzr. the lights on both sides turn brown (sometimes). I listened to the frig running, with the doors closed and I herd the freezer fan slowing down. I replaced it but the lights still turn brown. the lights are clean of ANY dirt. then other times i go into the frig/fzr and the lights are bright white. what is causing the lights to brown out? Is it just a door switch going bad on both sides? the mod#ED5VHEXVB01, 25CF ref/fzr.
My toilet has been draining slower than normal for a while but would still flush although you had to hold the handle Down the whole time until it flushed completely. I rarely ever put toilet paper in the toilet but recently i put it in there a few times and it wont flush. At first, it would fill up but would go down slowly if you just let it sit. Now it won’t go down hardly at all and plunger doesn’t help at all. I used a snake and an auger and still nothing. So i bought a Septic system cleaner that is non-corrosive so it IS safe to use on toilets however it says to flush twice after pouring the liquid into the toilet but since my toilet won’t flush what do I do. It says If thats the case then to pour it into septic tank but I run off of the city’s water. The water valve is turned off so should I just pour it in toilet and flush anyway and hope it doesnt flood?

Sub Zero Refrigerator/Freezer, Model #BI-42S
The control panel has been displaying 38 degrees for the frig side as set by the factory.
However, recently we noticed food in the bottom drawers would freeze, and the wrench sign showed up in the control panel.
We cleaned the condenser and powered off and on yesterday around 02:30 (Jul 3rd).
Checked around 21:30 the same day, no change – the wrench sign remained and food in the bottom drawers still frozen.
Also, the inside wall behind the drawers is coated with frost.
What might be causing the problem?
The symbol on my Daewoo is error code LE.
It comes on the console screen and door not locking – what can I do?
Both fans are turning and the coils are clean but the refrigerator is still warm the freezer is freezing what could be the problem?
Dorothy,
Is this your Kenmore refrigerator here on SearsPartsDirect?
If so you can order the main board there if you need to.
Or simply call Kenmore and ask if the unit is under warranty and also the board.

We bought a Kenmore Elite bottom freezer refrigerator.
In june of 2015 after returning a refrigerator we bought at Sears that froze everything in the refrigerator.
We turned it back in and bought the model 795-74022-411 and just had a repairman out for it was making loud noises.
He said we would have to pay $500.00 plus time to take the frig apart and fees for whoever works on it.
I paid him $99.oo to tell me we are not covered and they will not fix the Main Motherboard.
Is there any way we can find out if this board is still on warranty?
Another thing, are all refrigerators made with this board in them?
My Samsung TV was shutting down and kept clicking. I just had all the capacitors replaced yesterday and it’s still doing the same thing. WHY?
I ordered a new water filter for a Kitchen Aid KSCS25FTMS02 from website. Removed the old filter and replaced it wth the new one. It didn’t install correctly and started leaking water right afterwards. Removed it and made sure the cap was on correctly and re-installed it. Still leaking, bad enough to go through to my basement and ruin a ceiling tile. We removed the backing from the fridge and my husband says that the valves inside are broken. Is that possible or do I just need to try to reinstall again? They sent me a new one or are there valves inside that can break?
I replaced the thermal fuse on my Kenmore electric dryer. Now it seems like it’s not drying as efficiently as before the fuse blew. It takes several extra cycles to get a load of clothes dried. Any suggestions on what I can do/check? I cleaned out all the build up lint as well when replacing the fuse.
my Beko 6kg AAA+ lets in some water then stops i have cleaned the filters and outlet pipes and it is still not doing a full cycle please advise
A GE fridge – gts18ibmbrcc – The evaporator is clear of ice after a defrost cycle but the drain pan and the two vents in the drain pan below the evaporator are solidly clogged with ice. I see an aluminum drain strap wire is inserted into the drain hole, but the Shepard’s hook at the top of the drain strap wire isn’t hanging on anything in order to conduct some defrost heat into the drain. This is a used refrigerator my friend bought, so I’m not sure what the Shepherd’s hook is supposed to hang from. This model has a glass radiant defrost heater.
Do I hang this heat-conducting wire on the glass radiant heater, or hang it on the bottom tube of the evaporator?

We have a 48 inch built Kitchen-aid refrigerator, model is KSSO48QMB01, About 6 weeks ago the over temp alarm came on, hit the reset all was fine. Couple of weeks later it went off again and when we reset it but it kept going off again. We noticed ice cream was starting to melt but meat stayed frozen and ice was still being made. Fridge stayed cold but freezer was between 15 and 20. Had a repair guy come out, he said we probably had a leak and that it would be 500-600 for freon and then if that wasn’t the problem, another 300 for an evaporator but no actual problem was diagnosed. Nothing was tested. We decided were going to just replace the fridge with a standard refrigerator. Shopped for a week, found one we were going to get and suddenly the fridge was working correctly again. Freezer temperature was between 0 and -5. All appeared well, called original repair man and he had no idea what could have caused the problem but agreed it wasn’t a lack of freon. Hoped it was a one time thing but after a week of working correctly, it is now warming up again!

Upright ‘Frost Free’ Freezer, Westinghouse ‘Aurora’, Model number: FJ303M-LSQ*1 S/N 53720143SQ.
The above freezer keeps tripping the main power, it has only recently started doing it.
I have no idea why it does it.
Fixing it, i’m hoping, will be much cheaper than buying a new or even second hand freezer.
When I open the Samsung DV5H7000E(G) dryer door to pull out clothes while they are drying, the dryer time stays lighted and it will not restart. It has not done this before, and just started it recently.
My Frigidaire Washing Machine model LTF2140ES3 won’t turn off or go into any wash mode. As soon as power is supplied to the unit, the leds light up and stay lit. And you can not turn off by pushing “Pause Cancel” button. When I push the “Pause Cancel” button, the machine beeps and leds flash three times. This problem happened after I had pushed several different buttons and cycle selections in an attempt to get washer to go into its spin cycle. Before this ‘leds staying lit and not turning off/going into any wash cycle’ problem, the washer would not go into spin to complete a wash cycle. I’ve tried to do a factory/master reset, and check for the stored error code and/or run diagnostics, all to no avail. But I’m not at all sure I’m doing it correctly, though following online instructions as best I can. We’re in desperate straits to wash our family’s clothes. Can someone please advise what I should do?
Need to replace hated Sub Zero refrigerator model 511. Is there another BUILT In brand that will replace it?
I have a Maytag washer model MVWC6ESWW0……….WATER IS LEAKING INTO THE TUB…..not on the floor……otherwise it works fine…what is the problem
Pulled my Samsung dryer to clean and look behind it after it quit running.
Plugged it back in and pushed the dryer back in place.
Now when she pushes the start button on the dryer the HALL LIGHT comes on even though the switch is off.
The dryer still will not run.
I had a friend that is an electrician look at it and he said he thought it was the dryer.
I just wanted a second opinion before we purchased another dryer.
I mistakingly supplied my new vizio D32H-CO LCD TV with a 240V instead of 110V.
The board blew and I noticed smoke come out from the tv’s back. Now the TV wouldn’t on which isn’t shocking though unfortunate.
Kindly help me fix this whether by selling a new power board to me or any option u may deem fit.
I have a AEG dishwasher with a i30 error.
Model number is FAVORIT40860.
Whenever I select a program the drain pump stays on.
The error stops after switching the washer on and off for about 4 times and then fills with water.
However 2 minutes in the wash cycle, the error appears again and the drain pump starts.
I checked the bottom pan under the washer for any water that can trigger the anti-flood switch but found none.
I also removed the foam float just to make sure it does not interfere with the micro switch but the error stays.
GE Dishwasher – GLD5660V00SS – My dishwasher buttons are not responding. A couple weeks ago the the “hi temp wash” light started blinking and beeping on/off in a random order. This has happened a couple times with no noticeable pattern. I took a video of it too. When this happened there was nothing going on to any other appliances and no storms in the area. The “normal wash” cycle button was also lit but didnt flash. I have tried resetting the washer and tried removing it from power by turning off the breaker for different periods of time. The “normal wash” light comes on and beeps when i close the door – so I would assume that the latch switch is fine. But none of the buttons respond anymore.
GE dishwasher – GD5660v00ss – Problem started with dishwasher randomly beeping and the “hi-temp wash” light flashing – no obvious patter to beeping and lights. Tried all the suggested resets I could find, turning power off at fuse panel for different periods of time, holding the reset button, etc. Luckily I was able to get it to run a wash cycle twice in the past week. I think it was just luck. Now I cannot get it to run a cycle. The normal/wash light will come on as well as the heat/dry light after a hard reboot but it goes off after a short time. The odd beeping cycle patter cannot be duplicated anymore. The switch seems to be working fine because I can depress it and the washer makes a beep like the door has closed.

Before you reassemble, get a new drain pump!
Here are a few that may work with your Performa, check part numbers and model numbers.

I have a Maytag Washer performa PAV3200AWW.
A necklace was left in pocket, got caught in drain pump, twice!!
(Same necklace, two separate pieces)
So, I broke it down a third time, but no necklace in pump.
I’m getting ready to reassemble the washer (removed inner tub as well, just to be sure)
However, sum of the teeth on the pump are missing.
Would this cause loud rattling sounds or can I still run the machine without problems?
carol manning,
Why is the DE Error displaying on the panel of the Samsung Washing Machine?
This error appears when the door is not properly locked.
If the Machine is displaying “dE” error…
Check for the following:
-The door must be properly closed.
-Check the end of the drain hose is too low and be sure the drain hose holder in the back is not detached.
-You can check the end of the drain hose to see if it is submerged in water.

It also had a burning smell.
I have a Whirlpool gas dryer (Mod# WGD5530SQ0) that won’t start. The inside light illuminates and it doesn’t make any noises when the start is pushed other than the timer ticking. I’ve checked the easy stuff (thermal fuse, door switch, timer, and start button all have continuity). The timer ticks and I can hear the relay switch click when it should start and stop. I’ve checked the thermostat and drum belt. I took the drum off and reassembled it. The motor turns easily. If I bypass the door switch and spin the drum by hand I can get the end of cycle buzzer to buzz, but it stops as soon as I stop turning the drum. Any ideas?
I have a Kitchenaid side by side refrigerator and the ice maker stopped making ice and will now just leak water out if the switch is on and I’ve noticed the water has started to dispense slower.
I’ve been doing research and it seems like it could be the solenoid valve on the back or I was thinking the filter needed to be replaced or both.
I checked the drain in the freezer and it’s not clogged at all.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I’m troubleshooting a Frigidaire front load washer FTR630AS0 that will not agitate or spin. At around 16 years old, it’s all original with no replacement parts… until now. The door lock light illuminates and the door lock engages. The water pump still functions and the timer dial turns with audible clicking to engage cycle sequences.
I’ve done some testing with a multi-meter and I’m getting 120V on pin 3 at the pressure switch but 0V between pins 5/6 at motor control board. I tested the windings of the motor and they’re good at 2.8 ohms so the motor is sound.
This issue immediately followed a mechanical repair that I had to undertake. One of the stabilizing shocks had failed and caused a suspension spring to snap, allowing the drum to fall into the chassis. I replaced the spring and both shocks but now the motor fails to engage. It’s likely that the impact of the drum dropping into the chassis caused some secondary problem but don’t know what to suspect first.
Rather than throw money at random parts (door latch assembly, motor control board, etc) I’d like to know the usual suspects and the most likely source of the problem. Can anyone please help me narrow this down?

Hi,
I have a Samsung fridge/freezer Model SRS752QDUS. We had a power outage and the screen is now flashing and displaying 98 A8, I can’t find anything about what this means. I have tried to press the child lock off but nothing on the screen is working. I have left the fridge for aver an hour but it is still the same.
My whirlpool top load will not discharge the water after initial agitation. A few months ago it would not spin on the rinse cycle but I used your tip and started it by hand holding down the lid switch with a spoon and it did fine. I assume they are not connected.
How can I trouble shoot the discharge function when the machine does not respond to the “reset” ?

Samsung fridge model #RF263BEAESR/AA.
There was a ice buildup behind the refrigerator evaporator cover so i defrosted the fridge by unplugging it for 48 hours.
I plugged it back in today and the code 40 E came up immediately.
On the back it shows ice room fan error.
I unplugged it for 5 min and plugged it back in and after 1 min the same code came back.
Is this error code happening because its too warm in the ice room?
Will the code go away once the fridge and freezer cool down again?
When i switch on my Dishwasher, the machine fills then empties without operating the sprayers to wash the dishes.

I have a Whirlpool fridge model # AFI2538AEB and i need to know if the 16 pin wire harness in the ice maker housing inside the fridge and the 16 pin wire harness on the ice maker itself are suppose to have the same wire colors on each harness the 1 in fridge is the male and the one on ice maker is female all the colors on both of mine are almost the same except where there is a gray/black wire and a orange/white wire on the fridge harnesses first two wires on 1 side of the harness.
The ice maker has 2 white wires for the first 2 wires on the same side of the harness that the fridge has the gray/black and orange/white and those 2 wires actually go into this little metal eye looking thing that snaps onto the plastic piece that the ice maker assembly screw down onto it looks like maybe some type of ground because the metal ice mold sits on top of it so that it touches it.

I have a Whirlpool stove.
The power went out and now i have an error code F9E0.
The oven won’t turn on and can’t set the clock.
Prestige single oven model pr1-so.
Circular element failed.
Sparks and flame in oven whilst cooking.
Element suspected chaffed at ring contact point.
Remaining 3 elements and thermostat still worked, evidenced by oven light dimmed with thermostat heat demand.
After a break with power isolated, tried again but thermostat light came on even with temp selector at zero for each element selected and confirmed heating.
I don’t know what has changed since the first test.
Could it suggest a stuck relay??
What is likely to have failed other than the circular element? Is there an element fuse?

I have a LG dle2140w Dryer that will run for about 20-30 minutes and then cuts off.
The power does come on inside (light) but the entire display will not power on.
After 30 minutes or so the unit will power back on and work normally for another 20-30 minutes then cut off again.
We have replaced the dryer electric cord and the outlet and still have this issue.
The breaker has never tripped at any time.
What would cause the dryer to cut off and act as though there is no power for 30 min mid cycle yet the interior light comes on when you open the door?
A bad motor, thermostat or possibly the control panel?

David,
There is a timer mechanism or sensor that is part of the ice maker that may be faulty or not connected electrically.
The timer or “ice level sensor” may be the issue.
Did you replace with an OEM Whirlpool ice maker?
Check it out and let us know what you find.

My problem now is that it doesn’t stop making ice! I have to bag the ice each day because it fills the tray and keeps making ice. It never did this before.
Any suggestions on what the problem is and how to fix it?
Robin Bucio,
Check the timer assembly or control panel for loose wiring and also with a meter to be sure it is working properly.

If the gaskets are not usable because they are stretched out, replace them with original OEM Samsung Dishwasher gaskets.

I have a GE top loading washer model number GTWN4250DOWS purchased it in 2011 and have had to replace the drum valves water valves for hot water dispenser inside the machine cuz it leaked even after the washer had stopped running.
It has needed new wheels I guess cuz it has been off balance and the pieces broke 2 different times.
Now today I washed a load of laundry and it stopped after it half drained out but would not spin out.
We checked the lid switch and then bypassed it so I could finish laundry until the piece I ordered can be delivered.
After the 2nd load it did the same thing but this time my clothes had been soaking wet.
I checked the hose that goes into the white box on left bottom side and took it off and then placed it back on as it was not clogged or dirty.
When I tried again, the drain and spin was making a noise like it was trying to drain but the agitator was not moving.
Could it be the timer switch or control panel?
Or could it be that my washer has a fail safe lock and cuz the lid switch is broke it senses it and will not work to drain and rinse?
I did buy the extended warranty on this so I had 5 years of warranty but it expired 11/2016 and in September 2016 I had them come out and check it for more issues.
That’s when they decided to replace the drum and all the pieces that go with it and they replaced the 2nd set of wheels to rebalance it.
I honestly think I got a lemon when I bought this washer cuz from the 2nd day I had problems and it just has not stopped.

How to fix the SUD error on Samsung front load Ecobubble option washing machine?
ET22DMW00 Whirlpool refrigerator with freezer on top, refrigerator on bottom. Has working ice maker. Makes ice & both refrigerator & freezer are able to keep cold temp. Problem is that (apparently) randomly the back of the freezer (where the coil is housed) will get a hot spot.in the lower center. If touched at this time it’s so hot, you are unable to continue to hold your hand against the back wall. This will last for no more than 5 minutes at which time there is hot water that drains from behind the back wall of the freezer and into the refrigerator section below through the drain hole. About half a cup of hot water is discharged. Then everything goes back to normal and the heat disappears and the water stops. Then anywhere from 12 hours to 24 hours later it happens again.
I have a GE GSS25LGMB refrigerator with a leaking water tank. Is it possible to bypass the tank? I don’t need cold water, just water to ice maker.
Hi, I own a Whirlpool Cabrio H20 low wash system. Model # is WTW5600 XWO. The washer is 7 years. It has worked perfectly up until a month ago. So my problem is this, using the Normal cycle wash, warm water, high spin speed, He detergent and fabric softner. When washer is on spin cycle then finishes , all green LED are off indicating wash is finish. I open the lid and find my small to medium load still wet.To wet to put in the dryer, so I end up selecting the Drain / Spin cycle and spins out excess water on the clothes.There is no standing water in tub, just excess wet colored clothes.i have replace the drain pump with no change.Other cycle selections Whites , Heavy Duty also doesn’t spin out water leaving clothes wet enough to select Drain / Spin cycle to finish draining. Any helps or suggestions would be greatly appreciated . Thanks Barry

I’ve got a problem with a Kenmore washing machine model no. 110.26012010. It no longer works in 1/2 of the cycles. For example: select ‘Bulky’ cycle. Press Start. The cycle starts by testing the lid lock, then moves on to ‘sense’ the load to see how much water to use (all normal so far). But when it’s time to start adding water, the machine ‘freezes’ and will overload the breaker unless the power is interrupted. The Power Off button won’t work, it must be unplugged from the wall. This scenario only happens on 1/2 of the cycles – the other cycles work just fine from beginning to end (so far, at least!).
I have a Samsung rsg257aars/xaa fridge. The ice maker dispenser and water dispenser stopped working (but is still being made). Checked codes and got a r-1c code – defrost sensor error. Appliance repair came and replace front panel board, and tried the ice dispenser. A few came out, but when he dumped the ice in the sink and turned around, he started getting a f 1-d code – fan motor part error. So he took that board out and put the old one back in, and got the original r-1-c code again.
Adam,
Even though you replaced all the obvious parts to fix the overflowing issue on your Whirlpool washer, you may have a control board issue or an issue with the timer assembly.
Check all wires and test the wiring with a meter to be sure all parts receive power.

I have a Westinghouse fridge freezer, I need to know how to connect the wires to a part. The main power wires, where do they connect to, there is a capacitor an overload relay a round part with two spade connectors, also I believe a start relay which has four spade connectors.
Does the main power wires connect the overload relay?
If so which wire to which spade connector… if so does the capacitor connect to the start relay?
Which wires go on which of the four on the start relay?

I have a Frigidaire Gallery FG102474QF38 dishwasher, the display shows i30 and the drain motor runs continuosly. I tried shutting it off with the breaker to reset it but when i turn it back on the motor continues to run. and am unable to reset with any control panel buttons. Any ideas?
My Whirlpool dishwasher, model GU2300XTVB will not respond to any control functions.
This model is about 9 yrs old and has a push button electronic touch panel.
The last cycle was a rinse.
I believe it worked but now the light is on for washing and there is no response to any buttons.
There are no flashing lights and I have turned the power off/on with no results.
The lights are not as bright as they were so the pots/pans might be light?
What kind of screw heads are in a Panasonic microwave oven? Model # NN-SN797S? They look like Trox screw heads but they aren’t. Phillips nor square drives fit either.
I have a Whirlpool side by side fridge/freezer Model WRF40 IX and WRF36XR9WG.
It has an electronic temperature control that displays 1 to 5 as soon as the temp is adjusted higher than three, it clicks on and off.
It sounds as if it is trying to switch on the compressor.
If the temp is adjusted to three it works fine.
I have replaced the control board previously, which solved the problem, previously it worked on level 4, but now it only works on 3.
It is very costly to replace this board every two years.
I have a Samsung dishwasher Model # DMT400RHS. About a year ago the drain hose had to be replaced. Now a year later, a light was blinking on the HEAVY cycle button which meant a “Leakage error”. I checked the drain hose and it was fine with no leaks but there were some drops of water where the Leak Sensor is located. I took that apart and dried it off, put it back together and the blinking light stopped. I ran a DELICATE cycle and at the end of that cycle the HEAVY light was blinking again. I again took everything apart and there was a little bit of water by the Leak Sensor but this time there was some water on the left side of the tub up under the insulation. I don’t know what else to check without completely disassembling the whole darn thing. All of the hoses appear to be dry and not wet to the touch.
Our dishwasher bosch is showing a tap sign what should we do
My Kitchenaid dishwasher KUDK01ILBS3 stopped responding to the Start button. I could get it to reset by powering it off and on and pressing Cancel, but that was all. So I replaced the control board. The machine ran one wash to the rinse cycle and stopped, with the Normal cycle light blinking. There’s water in the machine. Pressing Cancel makes both Normal and Cancel lights blink together. Reset by power off has no effect — it runs the motor briefly and goes back to described state. Do I need to replace anything else?
I have a GE dryer all switches check for continuity.
Limits, thermostat, high temp, centrifugal, idler arm, heating elements, selector switch, timer a to b, and cords good.
Dryer tumbles but no heat.
Has anyone seen this before?
I have a Whirlpool duet wed8300sw0 model front load dryer, it stopped heating so I tested every sensor, heating element, thermostat for continuity.
All have continuity minus the smaller thermostat of the 2 on the side of the heat element.
I looked on YouTube and a guy said to tap it on the ground to fix it so I did that and now the dryer heats.
But, the problem is I ran the dryer for 5 min and turned it off and you can open the door and smell the heat and the back of it is really hot.
Not hot enough to burn you but enough to think something is wrong.
After I turned power off, I think it is still getting hot even when dryer is powered off, so I got worried an unplugged it.
We have a Frigidaire model FFHB2740PS. First, the water dispenser began shooting out water without having the water dispenser pressed in, the display gave the error SY CS. The compressor was running, the freezer cooling, but no refrigerator or lights in the refrigerator. I pulled the control panel and it had water in it, we learned that the refrigerator had been in a flood. I dried out all of the control panel, after plugging back in the refrigerator display blinks and the refrigerator does not turn back on.
I have a washing machine L612WM13.
I cannot open the door and it is showing E21 on the display and I think this means I need to clean the drain filter.
I looked at the manual and it says I need to open the service flap.
However, my machine does not have a service flap, can you tell me how to access the drain filter?
I have an LG TROMM front load washer. I left a small metal tool in my jeans pocket, and it ended up jamming the drum from spinning. By the time I realized what happened, the breaker tripped in my breaker box. I reset the breaker. Now I get no display, no nothing on the washer. I tested the receptacle, and it’s hot. I pulled the top off the washer and tested a few things with my meter. It is getting power to at least the first few “little boxes”. I’m thinking that there must be a way to reset the machine, but see no button or fuse.
I have a 2006 electric range Whirlpool model GR673LXSB1.
WHEN I use the oven for long periods the oven will not turn off.
I have to flip the breaker to turn it off.
It has electronic control panel.
Also has confection oven.
I have a Whirlpool gold GD5RHAXNT00.
The bulb in the refrigerator was barely glowing and there was a buzzing in the bottom of the fridge.
I unscrewed the bulb and the noise went away.
Screwed it back in and the same thing happened.
The light in the freezer is fine and everything else works.
But the display in the fridge for the filter and cold settings goes out when I screw the bulb in but works when I screw the bulb out.
Shan,
Check the evaporator fan and condenser fan as one of them may be bent, hitting the side, or the motor of one of the fans may be making the noise.
Where exactly is the noise coming from… top, inside, bottom, back???

Stephanie Rife,
Frigidaire Gallery Refrigerator with SY CE does mean a Communications Error at Power up.
You need to check where the wiring harnesses hook into the display board and to the main control board…. The main board is located either in the back of the fridge under a small panel or under the fridge. (main control board location will depend on your exact refrigerator)
Simply check that the wires are secure and not damaged.
Check some YouTube videos to be sure exactly where to check if you are still uncertain.
Let us know if you need more assistance or guidance.

I have a Stainless Steel Frigidaire Gallery. The model number is LGUB2642LF . On the display it reads SY CE. I have found that it SY CE means Communications Error at Power up and to check the wiring between the control board and user interface. Unfortunately, I am lost! I am not sure what that means or where those are. If I were to unplug the fridge and plug it back in after a few seconds, would that do the trick? Please, please help!!
We have a brand new Whirlpool WRS325FDAM refrigerator. It makes a high pitched whine that only my daughter can hear, and it’s driving her nuts. Once when we unplugged it and plugged it back in, I was able to hear it for a moment. Repair came out, couldn’t hear it, couldn’t find anything in the manual about it…and that was that. I’ve read many questions and comments on here, and the only thing I can find is it might be a fan?? Repair guy didn’t check that…other ideas?
Samsung,top load, will go to “dc” code on 99% of loads regardless of amount or type clothing in the machine.
colleen,
Check the Samsung Refrigerator OF OF repair page.

I’ve just gained possession of an ADMIRAL (Side by Side (GC2007)) fridge / freezer, not sure about its age , guessing about 12-15 years . Looks great after a good deep clean, the only trouble being it stopped working after 3 hours ! About that time the fuse tripped, I re-set the fuse and the same thing happened again, instantaneously. I left it overnight to ponder. The next morning I plugged it into another (ring-main, not covered by trip devices) socket. So, this is where we are now.. The RHS fridge light comes on, and nothing else ! No freezer, no freezer light, no start up noises.. dead as a dodo. I have no manual and cannot find any information on the web. Could it be ( from your pages) the Compressor Start Relay or start capacitor ( or both !). If they were faulty would they stop the freezer light from coming on.?!

My maytag centennial washer mvwc350aw1 spin cycle does not spin after the wash cycle is finished.The spin cycle gives a humming sound like a motor is working but nothing happens.
I have the samsung refigerator Model # RF4287HARS. The screen is showing OF OF….I tried to rset it by pressing the energy save button and lighting button at the same time for 8 seconds, it flashes several times and still reads OF OF. What am I doing wrong. Also the ICE off icon stays lit even though I did not turn off the ice.
I have a whirlpool gold refrigerator.. French door style. Well yesterday the front display board and buttons were working. I woke up this morning and all the lights on that front key pad are off and when I touch a button they all light up… When I went to get water they all light up and the fridge just beeps. Is there a certain button to press to get it back to normal?
My whirlpool ref G15FSAXVY02 is going on and off (the display)
and there is snow in the freezer compartment
this is a frost proof ref with the freezer on bottom (drawer)
Joseph Schmitt,
After one week the cap should be discharged of all power and the microwave should be safe to work on.
Wear a type of cloth electrical gloves while working on your microwave oven to be extra safe.
Let us know how it goes.
-RR
I have a Maytag Microwave UMV2186AAS that will not heat.
I have ordered a new diode and am ready to install it.
My microwave has been unplugged for a week.
Will the capacitor still have a charge?
check your lid switch
I have a Frigidaire laundry center model # fex831cso it will not drain or spin every thing else works I have replaced the pump and the timer and I have tested the lid switch
I have a work around to starting my samsung electric dryer. I open door, then press door sensor. Once door sensor is pushed in, I hit the start button and then manually turn the drum inside. The dryer starts and I quickly close door. The dryer completes drying cycle. This is only way for me to start the dryer. If I try starting traditional way, the drum does not turn and dry just makes noise. I have changed most of all thermostats/fuses/drum sensor but it still acts up and only way to start the dryer is by the work around. Dry is less then three years old.
My 2 yr old Frigidaire gallery dishwasher fgid2466qf2a is making a loud clunking or grinding noise but only sometimes during the wash cycle.
It sounds like something is banging around the inside of the washer but it happens even if I run it on empty.
I took off the filter, etc inside and did not find any debris.
I called Frigidaire corp, they seem to think it is the motor.
Based on the sound, I cannot believe that is the case.
I have a Kenmore Elite refrigerator that I just had a freon leak repaired and they charged it up with freon. It ran for 30 hours (making a little more noise then I remember – but no clicking or anything) but both the refrigerator and freezer sections will only cool to about 45 degrees each. I noticed that the sides of the refrigerator are not warm, but cool to the touch – much more than room temperature. Is it possible they didn’t put enough freon in it?
Whirlpool side-by-side refrigerator is slow dispensing water and ice maker only partially fills resulting in hollow ice cubes. Have changed the main filter, no kinked lines, main valve is turned on all the way. Worked good in early summer. Upon our return from camp noticed this problem. Any ideas?
I definitely have questions regarding repairs for my GE Washing Machine.
However, at the moment, I have a much bigger dilemma.
The very first question I’m repeatedly asked from repairmen is to provide the model #.
My dilemma is that the model number is worn off, I don’t know the serial number, and I also don’t have the paperwork or repair manual that came with the washer and dryer when I purchased them 8 yrs ago.
Can anyone help me find another way to retrieve the model and serial numbers of my 2008 GE Washing Machine so that I can get the necessary parts to repair it.
Thank you to any and all who have suggestions and are able to help me.
Dansby mini upright freezer.
Thaws and refreezes to the point there are ice crystals on food and ice trays.
But not to the point it leaks anything.
Been going on for a couple years without it getting worse.
There is a loud pop when it comes on.
Any ideas what to replace?
I was guess thermostat?
My Kenmore washer fills with water but does not start to wash after that. I have tried moving the knob to a different cycle, checked fuse panel, taken all the clothes out, and cannot get it to start or drain.
have ge microwave that I replaced cap,diode ,and door switches but still no heat they tell me not very often does the transformer go bad what could be the issue?
Lou Guerette,
Most likely, your Maytag Quiet Series 100 Dishwasher is running fine.
You probably do not have the dishwasher drain hose positioned properly.
Check under your sink and be sure the Dishwasher water drain hose is secured in an upward position.
This is so the dishwasher drain water does not backflow or siphon into the dishwasher and leave an inch or so of water.
Check this page here to learn more about Dishwasher High Loop.
-RR
We have a Maytag Quiet Series 100 Dishwasher that is maybe 8 or 9 years old.
For the past few months, I’ve noticed that after each completed cycle, there is always a puddle full of water at the bottom of the inside.
It’s after every wash and it always leaves the same amount of water (up to 3/4″ deep).
How do I clean that out and how do I prevent that from occurring?
In advance, thank you for your guidance.
Ayaz,
Can you give us the model number of your Dawlance refrigerator?
We can point you in the right direction after we know the exact refrigerator you have.
-RR
I have Dawlance Refrigerator.
The problem is that the freezer is cold and fridge is warm.
I tried to pull out the back panel of freezer but there is no screws only sheets.
Please tell me how to take it off so I can check the fan, evaporator motor and thermostat.
Dmitry,
Simply connect the wires exactly as the old defrost timer.
Did you remove the wires from the defrost timer before you got the new one?
Do you have a schematic for your Magic Chef Refrigerator?
An electrical schematic will show you where the wire go.
Find one online by using the model number of your Magic Chef Fridge.
-RR
I have a very old Magic Chef refrigerator and have to replace CD-2001-57 defrost timer.
Do i have to connect flying lead on my new defrost timer to any contact?
If i do not have it on my old one?
Whirlpool Cabrio Washer wtw6400sw3.
Does wash and then skips to 4 min.
Then drains.
Then try Rinse and Spin cycle – it drains to 1 min left and gives OL Error Code.
Then try Drain and Spin cycle.
Works perfectly.
No diagnostic codes.
Go thru the C0 thru C9.
It seems it puts in more water then it should, but goes thru rest of codes okay.
Had a tech out earlier this year and he said it was board.
Didn’t want to put that much money into it.
Recently replaced the board and it didn’t fix problem.
I have a GSS201EPhWW side by side fridge that is giving me issues. A few weeks ago I turned the freezer all the way up to nine and when I turned it down the fan quit. Managed to get that going again, but the freezer has a wide variation in temp, anywhere from +7F to -10F and is running a long time. The other night it would not shut off on its own, so I wound up shutting it off overnight and it started up and ran good but still with a wide variance of temp. I have it set at 1 The fridge is set at 1 also and is not freezing up. No frost forming in fridge Was wondering if it was the thermostat or capacitor.
I have a GE profile pfss2mjyss fridge and the front panel is not working.
We have turned the fridge off and on, by unplugging it.
It was working but stopped when we connected the water dispenser hose.
I have A GE DFE29JSDASS refrigerator. all the fresh food lights are out, freezer lights are working.
I have a Frigidaire fridge. I changed the capacitor with a professional for a lot of money.. two weeks later it starts to break down again, the repair guy tells me it’s the defrost timer and it will cost more .. I decided to replace it myself .. I plug it in and give it a few turns until it starts the fridge .. now it constantly runs without stopping.
Roger,
The washer drain line should go from the washer’s tub to the drain pump with nothing in between, however, there MAY be a one way safety valve in between the tub and the drain pump that is stuck closed.
Check to be sure that the drain line from the tub to the drain pump is free of clogs and water can flow with no issues.
Check that the drain pump itself is not clogged or blocked.
If the drain pump is working, the drain line from the tub to the drain pump is CLEAR, then you may have an electrical connection issue or possibly the control board is faulty.
-RR
I have a Maytag Front load washer Model # MAH5500bww. It does not drain and shows nd code.
I removed hose between drum and drain pump and nothing comes out. Hose is not blocked and water is still in machine drum. Is there some type of flap on drum that is signaled to open?
Or does pump signal it to drain?
Would it be my pump or something on control board not triggering draining?
Hi there I have a garbage disposal that started out just humming I took an Allen wrench and cranked it back and forth a few times on the bottom I also pushed the reset button. It seemed to loosen things up a little cuz I now get a little clanking sound. However still not working. What do I need to do next besides tearing it all apart and how do I do that
Does anybody have an answer for this? I would just like to know if there are any other compatibility issues beyond the fact that the wire harness from the Whirlpool fridge, Model WRF535SMBM icemaker does fit into the internal connection of the old Frigidaire unit, model# GLRT183TDWP. Thanks.
I should add, it has no other problems, it fills, agitates and drains, just won’t spin without me manually starting the spin.
Hi, there. I have a Whirlpool Gold Washer Ultimate Care II that does not spin on its own. If I start it with my hand, it will spin, though I usually have to do it twice to get all the water out of the clothes. It agitates without help, though it seems like it doesn’t do it as well as it used to. Any suggestions on what I need to fix?
My LG G4 cell phone currently started to act up. My battery says it’s 14% when charging but when off the charger it’s 0%, it restarts several times, etc. I’ve tried 4 different chargers, restarting by the power button, and it keeps going on and of so much I haven’t got the chance to try a hard reboot.
Beko wmb61431w washing machine starts then stop a few seconds later.
Joe,
Where exactly is the water filter housing cracking?
Are you replacing it with an OEM part?
Is it possible the freezer temperature is set TOO COLD?
What is the exact temp in the freezer?
-RR
I have a Frigidaire refrigerator FRS23R4AW1 side by side and have replaced the water filter housing part 241521304 repeatedly because it keeps cracking and suggestions? It maybe freezing up, hard to tell, have you heard of this problem before?
I have a new Whirlpool fridge, Model WRF535SMBM. I do not want to use the included icemaker, but would like to try to install it into an older Frigidaire unit. The harness of the new icemaker does insert into the female end in the old unit. But are their other compatibility issues that would prevent it from working?
Water is coming out of overflow tube when washing machine is running, load size switch is working fine does not overfill?
Larry Goff,
Be sure the water filter housing is securely locked and the o-ring or seal is in place.
Remove the water filter and check there is no plastic wrapping still attached, check inside filter housing for foreign objects and reinstall.
Make sure filter is OEM for best results.
-RR
I replaced my water filter now I have a very low water flow.
I have a whirlpool fridge side by side with the filter inside in the back top right.
Angela,
Are any error codes showing on the LG fridge display or is it just flashing lights?
-RR
Bryce,
You may have a loose wire harness which is causing the lights in your LG refrigerator to work intermittently. Check all wiring harnesses that run from the lighting to the rear of the fridge. You will likely find a loose connection or a possible damaged wire harness.
-RR
Grace,
Can you give us the exact error code on your Maytag Centennial Washer that comes up which points to MOTOR CONTROL FAULT?
-RR
I have a Maytag centennial mvwc400xw3. The fault code comes up with a motor control fault. What part will i have to purchase to fix this? Thanks.
I have an LG, French door above/freezer below, refrigerator – LFC25760sb. I have a problem with the lights that appears to be a short somewhere. The relevant facts are:
1.The two lights in the fridge come on intermittently, sometimes flickering. The bulbs are good and are screwed in tightly.
2.The freezer light is also involved in the problem. It doesn’t flicker but it is sometimes on and sometimes off. At the present time, the freezer light works fine but the fridge lights are off. It seems like the problem may be back in some connection that supplies power to both lights.
LG Refrigerator LFX25960SB when replugging in our French-door, bottom freezer – the ice dispenser “flap” started opening and closing on it’s own about every 4 seconds. It’s an annoying “bang”. Additionally, the lights on the front face of the the ice maker are blinking. Both the refrigerator and the freezer are not staying cold. Have had to remove all food.
Lg side by side refrigerator. Ice maker motor comes on by itself (dispenser door opens, motor runs) and door light blinks. Little or no water dispenses through door (intermittent) Ice tray only fills half way.
How do I clear fault code E3 on my Bosch front loader washer Wae20261au/01 after checking for the basic handbook solutions and all was good?
I have Bosch Exxcel dishwasher Type SL91B. At the end of the last wash all the indicator lights came on.
I can’t get them to go off, so am unable to set up or start a program. Please help!
Dulce,
Depending on the model number of your GE washer, you could have a faulty lid switch, bad belt, faulty washer clutch, worn motor coupler, or transmission issue.
You will have to take the GE washer apart and see for yourself what is causing the problem.
Can you give us the model number so we can give you a more precise solution?
-RR
I have a problem with my GE washing machine. When I start it the washing cycle works fine and all but when it gets to the Rinse and Spin cycle it only fills up and drains but it doesn’t spin/agitate. The timer keeps going and at the end the clothes are left drenched. What could be wrong with my washer? I appreciate any knowledge on this. Thank you!
Started dryer, it ran for a minute while I started a load in the washer. Then the dryer turned off and wouldnt start again. I checked the house circuit breaker and it was fine, so I fiddled with the knob then we left it alone. Then awhile later it started on its own but it won’t count down on the dial so it won’t turn itself off. After reading different posts I’m not sure what it could be, maybe the thermal fuse or the thermistor, or maybe the timer? I don’t think it is the heating element because it happened when the dryer started not mid cycle, and it does heat when it runs.
My Frigidaire model FFHB2740ps1 stopped making ice and dispensing water. Then 3 weeks later the refrigerator and freezer stopped cooling. Error code SY EF was displayed. The repairman said I needed a new motherboard and door computer because the old computer would not interface with the new motherboard. After paying for it. He said he now needed to order an Evaporation Fan. Needless to say I didn’t let him return. Called another repair guy who changed the fan. The refrig was back working (except for the ice maker due to additional cost). Now 2 weeks later my refrigerator is not working again! I was trying to push the ice drawer back in when the frig light went off and stopped working. The frigidaire is only 2 years old. The new error code is SY CF. Do you know what may be going on.
I had a appliance repair person come out to the house and he didn’t do much of a test but he explained to me that it actually can be a Freon leak or a defroster issue. The fans were still running and the compressor was on and running. He said that if it is Freon leak it would be best to purchase a new refrigerator and if it was a defroster issue it might be worth fixing. I have read a lot of issues but not one like this. He recommended me to unplug for 24 hours and then plug back in for 8-10 hours and if it gets cold then it would be a defroster issue. Any ideas of this being true. Please let me know. Thank you
Recently my GE side by side Refrigerator stopped working. Model #GSH25JFXB CC. The freezer and the refrigerator are not cooling and ice not dispensing. The fan in the inside of the freezer and the fan on the back of the refrigerator are running continuously. The compressor is not running, neither is it cold or hot. I have pulled off both panels off the back one for the mother board and nothing out of the ordinary but removed the bottom board and cleaned out all the dust from over the year and nothing has changed.
Sidney Stephens,
Are you sure it is the error code EE and not FF?
Check the GE fridge error codes page for more info…

Frigidaire oven model CGELF385AS4 is not heating properly. I have metered all 3 elements and have continuity. I metered the sensor and read 1.076k ohms form one meter and 1.044k ohms from another. Is the sensor broken or what do I check next. Sensor was measured around or below room temperature.
I have a 2 year old LG fridge freezer and the control panel is suddenly not lighting up, it lights up for a few seconds when you open the doors or if you press the panel. It has been working fine until a few days ago.
Have an ‘EE’ error code flashing in the Set Temperature Display of my GE Profile Artica PSS26PS refrigerator. Cannot find an explanation anywhere for this Code!
Hello! I have a Whirlpool side by side refrigerator, model # ed5vhexvbo1. I recently replaced the water filter, and now my ice cubes are hollow, and the water dispenser only dispenses at a slow dribble. I have followed all instructions to purge air, removed and reinstalled the new filter. I even reinstalled the old filter, and still have the same issue. I checked my water pressure, it is fine, and the line is not kinked. PLEASE HELP! Thanks!
I have a Whirlpool Refrig. model WRS526S1AE00 that is side by side w/ ice maker. It makes ice and the dispenser arm works but the ice fails to drop any cubes on the tray. I cleaned & dried both the ice bucket and door unit. When reassembled it works for a few glasses then the arm turns but no cubes fallout. What would be the cause?
I have a amana 7300 front loading washing machine. I have a temp sensor error. The temp sensor ohms out good. What else could be bad? Harness?
We have a maybe 2 year old Kenmore washer and dryer. There is an error code on the screen that says CL that flashes. The washer won’t do ANYTHING. Won’t start on any cycle. Won’t fill, spin, drain, nothing. We’ve pushed and held buttons in trying to reset but nothing worked. We even shut off the breaker for the washer, but nothing happened. Can somebody PLEASE tell us what this CL means and tell us how we can use our washer????
I have problem with my IMESA RC23ELM and when I switch on the machine alarm cole AL 2 appear on the led screen. What that means?
Hi I have a LG dishwasher and it is giving me an E1 error code, I have replaced the the Hose connection and it still gives me the same error. I am not sure if it is the inlet valve. Please assist.
I’m a repair technician working on an AMANA Washer Model #NFW5700BW0. There are no lights on the console (outer touch panel). I can trace 120V to the control board. The single, 3-wire connector from the control board to the touch panel console shows only 1V DC at each of the 3 testing combinations. I believe that there should be at least 12V DC being delivered and suspect that it is a control board failure to send power to the console rather than a console failure.
Please can you tell me what the duty cycle of the fountain heater is meant to be? I have a Maytag MSD2756AEW. Is it meant to be on all the time, or only when dispensing, or on a timer of some some sort. I have a problem. The heater is good re: electrical continuity, and everything else works, but there is frost build up on the top entrance to the ice chute. The ice door appears to fit ok.
I have an Ariston fridge, when I plug in the fridge the lights turn on but the compressor and the evaporator fan doesn’t turn on, I couldn’t get its problem.
Its also an electronic fridge with main board and that kinda stuff.
P.S I checked the compressor and works just fine when i plugged it in directly.
Terry,
Check circuit breaker.
Check plug.
Check wires from plug to terminal in washer.
If still NO POWER, there may be a bad or faulty board in the washer.

The frig area is cooling but the freezer section is not
I need to test my thermostat and defrost timer on my G.E. Profile model PDS18SBMARBS bottom freezer refrigerator but I cannot figure out how to access them located inside the overlay control housing. I believe there are screws under the Lens Control Housing but I don’t know how to access them to remove them. If anyone can assist me with this I would greatly appreciate the help.
Lori,
The Door Alarm is a “feature” of the fridge that detects when the door is left open for a long period of time. After one minute with the door open, the alarm will beep. Every 30 seconds thereafter, it will continue to beep until the door is closed.
If your LG fridge constantly beeps, here is a way to stop it…
-Locate the “Alarm/Lock” button on the right side of the control panel.
-Press the “Alarm/Lock” button on the control panel one time to turn off the door alarm beep.
Try this and your fridge may start cooling again…. Let us know what you find.
-RR
My LG LFC25770TT is making a constant beeping noise and now it has stopped cooling. I had a repair man out today who said the fan needed repaired and charged me $350. He said the fridge should start cooling. It didn’t, no change. What should I do (besides demanding my money back)?
My lg bottom freezer model # Lbc22520sw has an evaporator fan that only intermittently runs. The fridge doesn’t stay cool, but the freezer is cold. If this is a pcb issue can I diagnose and fix without replacing? The fan runs for 10 seconds then off for 10, on again then off for quite a while. The fridge is well below temp at this point so I don’t see why it would shut off.
Jeanette,
Is your GE refrigerator cooling properly?
-RR
I have noticed my ge refrigerator is running in short bursts. It will run for about 10 seconds and off for about 2 and then back on again? Model #DFE29JSDASS
XZIBIT,
Make sure water is ON.
Make sure hoses not crimped.
Make sure water inlet valve is working.
Make sure no clogs in mesh screens on hoses.
Try a different wash setting to see if the one you are using may have an issue.

MY WASHING MACHINE FAIL TO FILL UP AFTER ALL THE FIVE MAIN STEPS WHAT DO I DO – SAMSUNG TOP LOADER *WA12V5WEP/XSG
Henry,
You may just need a new knob as the one you have may be cracked and not TURNING the temp control.
Can you freely remove the knob?
If so order a new one.
If not the temp control assy may be bad and needs to be fully replaced or checked for wiring issues.

Frigidare refrigerator freezer combo unit model # FRT15G4B
My Frigidare freezer temperature control knob is broken and just spins completely around without stopping. The freezer is on a very cold setting, maybe even on the coldest setting, and frost forms in the freezer compartment to the extent the fan stops working to cool the refrigerator. In the past I was able to unplug the unit and let it “defrost” then plug it back in and it ran fine. But, now that the freezer temperature can’t be set, as previously described, the refrigerator is too warm and food cannot remain cold.
Is there a way a lay person like me can address a problem like this? I have zero skill at repair and I do not want to pay a repair person more than what a new refrigerator would cost to fix this one.
I have a whirlpool top load washing machine that has recently been moved and plugged in at our new place that we moved to and the POWER button will not push in to start the machine. Everything else works fine, the other buttons push and click the way they always have. The button went from being soft and working to feeling hard behind it and not turning on the machine.
Kenmore coldspot side-by-side refrigerator m#106.56982601.a few months ago the freezer started to frost over inside& the refrigerator wouldnt cool properly. several times now we’ve had to unplug it,thaw it,plus use a hair dryer on the inside refrigerator exhaust vent to melt ice buildup(always there whenever the problem starts)also occasionally having to hit the bottom part of the freezer with it at the water drain. it will end up with a large chunk of ice that extends into the bottom of the freezer itself. Since the first time this happened aside from the ice buildup in the freezer it mainly seems to be a problem with the refrigerator and it only seems to adequately cool for a couple of days after at best then slowly starts warming up again. After the thaw and restart process it’ll be 38- 40°F at best then after a few days/week its 45-50°F then onto about 55-60°F by the time the process needs to be redone. Also since this 1st happened we HAVE to keep the refrigerator temp switch on the coldest position of 4 just to get it to the temps described when in the past it never had to be past 2 or 3. Also Now regardless of the temp setting, the airflow coming into the refrigerator is so weak. THEN today we woke up to the freezer not being cold enough & things were starting to thaw.

Should I remove them myself or call someone because of the unusual location.
We have a Bravos X washer about 3 years old that intermittently started not to spin dry the washed clothes near the end of the cycle about ten days ago…then it quit spin drying the clothes altogether a few days later. It still agitates, but gets stuck working at about the 12 number on the machine display. I went through the diagnostic codes and got the following four sequences: F7-E5, F7-E6, F-0, F-0. Looking at the Service Tech handbook that came with the washer, the F7-E5 says “shift actuator fault”. The F7-E6 says “motor fault”. Talking with the local appliance store tech where we bought it, he felt it’s likely the actuator, so I put the new one in yesterday, but no change. After the 12 appears on the display, it will eventually cycle off. Do notice it spinning one revolution or so around 11, then it try’s to spin again around the 8, 6, and 4 (assume this is the minutes remaining) but all you hear is the humming sound of the motor but no spinning. The whole cycle of the machine seems slower from the time it starts to the time it would normally finish. Will try the “master reset” suggested on your site in case the washer was overloaded or we had a power surge, etc. Will let you know what that does later today. Our washer is model # MVWX700X62, Ser # C31130400. If the reset doesn’t work, I may look at the continuity of the washer lid switch to see what that shows.
My Whirlpool cabrio h/e low h2o top loader washer model no. Wtw5600xw3 was diagnosed with a bad / faulty electronic board by a Sears repair tech. Last Wednesday 6/29/16. However going to online repair sites I have not found one site which tells me how to get to remove the board which part no. W10480108. They all show a different machine from what I have. I have more than 3 screws to get the back panel off!
My Kenmore upright freezer is on the fritz. (Model # 253.9287413) It runs constantly. I found out that the temp control unit (Part #216521200) was discontinued and you cannot get it anywhere. Also, there isn’t a replacement part for it. So, I ordered a different part that I thought may work. It did not. The freezer keeps running. My next move may be an external universal temp control unit. A Supco SC1002.
My real problem is this: The freezer has three (3) wires going to the temp control unit. A black, red and blue. All new temp control units have two wires, including the Supco part I may use. Which wires do I splice together???? The black wire is power from the plug. The red wire runs to the control box and the blue wire goes to the defrost timer. Currently, I have the black and blue wire connected and it runs, but doesn’t shut off. A black and red combo doesn’t run. Again, what wires would I put together to make this work?
Bosch Vision 300/500 DLX. The drum doesn’t want to turn anymore. When we start a normal cycle, the water gets in, the pumps is working fine but nothing is turning in there. The door isn’t leaking. I took off the motor in order to have a look to the carbon brushes… but apparently, there is any on that type of motor since it is a brushless technology? So what do I do, should I order à new motor at this point? Is that problem common for that model of washing machine? Could it be the little plastic sensor attached to the rotor who could be at fault?
Jess,
Call the manufacturer of your freezer and ask them if there is an electrical schematic available to either be emailed to you or possibly hidden online somewhere.
The schematic will tell you where to connect each wire.
-RR
Thank you for your reply. Yes, the start relay has 3 terminal connections (2 on one side and one on the other) and the overload has 1.
I am just not sure where to connect the wires.
Quaneitha,
Most likely your Kenmore washer has a CLOGGED WATER PRESSURE SWITCH.
Remove power from the washer and check to be sure it is not clogged and causing your NO FILL issue.
The water pressure switch should be located behind the main panel and to the right.
With power unplugged, remove a few screws from the panel…
When you remove the panel, the pressure switch will have a small plastic tube attached to it and this will usually get clogged and cause your washer to not fill.
Clean out the tube and the switch itself and you should be good to go.
-RR
Jess Lo,
Finding the manual online for your Brada Freezer is difficult as the Brada website has no tech manuals.
We do not have an electrical schematic for the Brada or Danby Freezers.
You have the overload protector and the start relay but you do not know which wires go where… correct?
You have a capacitor with a brown and blue wire coming out…. and a blue and white wire for the overload protector…
How many electrical connection terminals are on the 2 parts?
One terminal for each wire but you just do not know which wire goes where?
-RR
Erin,
There is no error code showing or is the display completely dead?
If your Bosch refrigerator is working and cooling/freezing, but the display and the ice water dispenser do not work, then there is either a wiring issue, a bad dispenser board, or a relay may be faulty.
You will need to do some troubleshooting.
Hopefully it is a simple loose or disconnected wire harness that you can just plug back in.
Remember to unplug the fridge when working with the electrical systems on your fridge – Work safe.

Greg Cilles,
Make sure the lid switch is positioned correctly.
Many times on a Kenmore washer, if the lid switch is working but out of position, the lid lock light will flash or blink.
Be sure the lid switch and the plunger are making perfect contact.
If so, recheck the wires going to and from the lid switch.

My Bosch refrigerator display panel isn’t getting power to it. Everything inside the refrigerator is working fine, we just can’t use the display panel, ice maker, and water. PLEASE HELP!!!
Hi, I am trying to replace the Start Relay & Overload Protector on my Brada Freezer (Model HS-189C), and cannot find my picture of the original wiring. I have searched & searched, but cannot find any diagrams for it at all. The replacement Start Relay is actually a Danby part (DUFM320 PTC – Part # 501499900239), as is the Overload Protector (DUFM320 O/L PROTECTOR – Part # 501499900271) . From the capacitor I have a blue wire & a brown wire. Also a blue wire & a white(ish) wire for the o/l protector. If someone can please advise me of the wiring, it would be so much appreciated.

Sharon Kells,
Can you supply us with the model number of your gas heater so we can let you know what part you can replace?
-RR
I accidentally left a towel on the top of my gas heater and as a result the heat must have caused the igniting and on off control panel to melt. They both still move up and down but I don’t want to use it at the moment. Can you tell me if these can be replaced or do I have to buy an entire new heater. Thanks
My beko dishwashef, model no dwd5412 fills with water and then pump kicks in and empties, also the pump stays on. Any suggestions as to what can be wrong.
Jody Weatherby,
An appliance solenoid should show SOME resistance and continuity should be good.
If a solenoid shows no continuity then there may be a broken wire somewhere in the coil.
If it shows no resistance at all, it’s shorted.
-RR
My Bosch dishwasher wont’ fill.
Ohm meter across the solenoid shows open circuit.
Brand new part about to be installed shows exactly the same thing.
Show open circuit.
Shouldn’t I get continuity across the two terminals?
Win Naing,
If water drips at back, your Beko refrigerator may have ice build up on the coils and at times water is dripping off of them.
Or the water line to the fridge or on the fridge is leaking, or you may have a clogged drain hole (if applicable), etc…
Unplug fridge and slide out to check where the leak is coming from.
-RR
I have purchased BEKO fridge model GNE114610. The fridge and freezer temperature is perfect. However, i have water dripping at the back of the fridge (outside the fridge). The water accumulates overtime and drips down to the floor. I also noted that the compressor runs for 2 hours and stops.
Rachel,
It sounds like the motor you installed on your Samsung Dishwasher may not be the EXACT OEM motor.
If you happened to install a dishwasher motor that is for a different dishwasher model, it may fit, but may not be able to run as designed.
It has a thermal cutoff that when it gets too hot, it will shut down to protect itself.
Can you tell us the part number you ordered for your DW80F600UTS/AA-0001 dishwasher?
-RR
Heidi Woodyard,
Most likely your Whirlpool dishwasher rinse aid dispenser is clogged. You can take it apart with the dishwasher removed from power to unclog it.
If the dispenser is not clogged, you can check it with your meter to be sure it is working.
It may just not be connected, maybe a loose wire harness or a damaged wire harness.
Does the dishwasher work besides not dispensing rinse aid?
-RR
I have a Samsung dishwasher, model DW80F600UTS/AA-0001. I replaced the motor recently which was running loud for a while before it finally quit. Took the old motor out and saw that it was rusty and wet from the seal leaking, so I replaced both the motor and seal.
But then a new problem became apparent, the motor won’t run for more than 30 minutes before stopping and needing to cool down. I tested the resistance when the motor stops of the wire harness that plugs into the main control board which leads to the motor, and it is infinite resistance until about 10 minutes later when it’s cool enough to run again. I got a second motor and it does exactly the same thing. I replaced the control board and it still does the same thing. The capacitor for the motor was also replaced but no luck. So I’m thinking something shorted in the old motor and took some other part out but I can’t find which part to try and replace next.
To clarify the problem, the motor just stops, and I can cancel the cycle, power off and on, flip circuit breaker, and then restart a new cycle and the motor will still not run until it’s cool after about 10 minutes. The clicking relay switches are heard when the motor is supposed to start but the motor makes no noise, no hum or anything. And the drain still works fine. And when the motor stops, and if I i just leave it, the timer continues to go and if it was within 10 minutes of the end of that cycle, it will just drain like normal, start the next cycle, the motor will click but not start, and after 10 minutes total have passed the motor suddenly revs up again with no clicks to start it.

Savannah,
Check the bottom of the spray arm for grooves and try to match it with where it attaches on the dishwasher.
If it simply just pulled off, it probably snaps back on but in a particular way.
-RR
I removed the spray arm at the bottom of my KitchenAid dishwasher, Model number KUDN(M?)230. It is very old, circa 1996, and I can’t find info on it anywhere, so I hope you can help, as this thing is starting to smell with the stagnant water sitting at the bottom. – When I removed the spray arm there was nothing to screw off, so naturally, I tugged it off. It really wasn’t that hard to lift up. On inspection, there are no threads anywhere on the underside of it, so I think this was actually okay. But now I cannot get this thing to “snap” back on. Please help!
Jeffery Farkash,
Remove and replace the refrigerator evaporator fan. The evaporator fan sits behind the freezer wall. It is IN the freezer compartment behind a panel. It draws air across the evaporator coil and circulates it throughout the freezer and refrigerator. If this fan is not working, the freezer will be cold but not the refrigerator compartment.
-RR
I have a Whirlpool model number w8txegfyb01. My freezer is getting cold but not the refrigerator. I replaced the run capacitor and start device. What else could be wrong?
Jeremy,
If you have a GE washer but do not know the model number, we would have to guess….
Check the water pressure switch for a clogged tube. also check the drain pump as if something is clogged in it or in a drain hose the washer will not drain.
Try and find the model number so we can help you further.
-RR
I have a problem with a GE Washing machine (clothes). I do not know the model number. It is a newer washer that says “Smart Clean.” It is a top loader and I don’t believe it is high efficiency. Recently, it stopped draining. It can fill properly, wash properly, but during the drain cycle it does nothing but hum. Unfortunately, this model does not have a removable front panel to service it. However, I was able to access the pump motor by lifting up one side and tilting it. So, I have removed the motor and cleaned it. There was a tiny bit of dirt, but nothing major. It looked fine. I wanted to have it tested, so I brought it to a local repair shop (I live in Nicaragua). He took what looked like a lamp cord with spliced wires on the end of it. He touched the wires to the two wires connect and it did spin, though it almost looked like it went back and forth. This could have been due to the high speed. Anyways, it did turn, so I assume it either works fine or possibly is running at a lower power. So, I discovered the most interesting thing today. When the washer is trying to drain, there is some vibration and sound from the pump. Nothing that sounds bad, but there is no water being drained. If I blow through the drain hose, I hear some bubbles, and there is a change in the pump and it begins shooting water out everywhere… just like it should. But if I pause it and unpause it, it goes back to doing nothing. If I blow it it, it runs correctly again. It seems that the pump works fine then. Do you know what could be causing this problem? I feel like if I can understand exactly what happens when I blow in the hose and it starts working, then I will understand precisely what the problem is. Is there any chance that there is some sort of “door” that is supposed to open and let the water out during the drain cycle? Or is it possible that the pump does not work well enough to start the process, but can continue it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Pedro,
When the thermal fuse on your dryer keeps blowing, you have heat buildup somewhere and that usually means the air vent hose, in wall vent, outside vent is clogged.
Some models of dryers have a fan built in. If you have one, be sure it works. Also, you could have wires shorting out somewhere and causing your issues.
-RR
Have a Maytag Maxima MED6000XW2, Cleaned duct work and replace thermal fuse 3 times before i noticed that the thermistor (thermostat) had also gone bad. The dryer would get really hot that is why we replaced the thermistor. Replaced both thermal fuse and thermistor and worked for about a month. Now i am back where i started, why does the thermal fuse keep going out? Everything is clean good air flow, even had pro clean duct and said it was super clean and had great air flow.

If it swelled from the water absorbing into the pillow… Try leaving it in the washer WITH THE DOOR OPEN overnight.
Once you get it out… If you are attempting to dry it further…. use the dryer on low or lay it in the sun for 6 hours and it will dry.
-RR
My beaded pillow got stuck in the washing machine. It is too fat and beady, all the water soaked up into the bead which made it heavier. We try to get it out but there is this twisty thing and its too heavy and fat. We try to pull it out but it doesn’t work. Is there any way besides leaving it inside the washing machine overnight? Thank you! Much appreciated.

Ground wires SHOULD always be GREEN.
If you see a bare copper wire, that is usually the ground on some types of light fixtures and other electrical items.
If you are not sure if a wire is a ground wire, test it with a multi-meter to be sure. You do not want to grab onto a live wire thinking it is a ground wire. Use caution to prevent shocking.
-RR
Randall Griswold,
When you removed power from your LG refrigerator to replace the evap fan, you most likely reset the display panel back to default. You are referring to POWER SAVING MODE.
Display Power Saving Mode
This function places the display into power saving mode until the next time the door is opened.
Press the FREEZER and ICE PLUS buttons simultaneously and hold them for 5 seconds until the Ding sounds.
All LEDs will then turn ON, then OFF.
When the power saving mode is activated, the display will remain off until the next time the door is opened.
-RR
I replaced the evaporator fan in my LG model number lfx25960sb and now the only problem is that the display on the front of it doesn’t “sleep”, it used to shut off after a while after the door was shut, can you tell me what I did that changed that? Thanks, Randy
Thank you, will do. Is there a way I can tell the ground wires from the other wires, such as a color or a marking?

John Gibb,
It may be that the new Beko washer motor is wired incorrectly or the wiring is bad possibly from when the motor get hot enough to melt the plastic shield. Recheck the wiring and wire harnesses to be sure all is secure and no other damage is present. We do not think the motor burning up could have an affect on the main control board. It may be some of the wiring to and from the motor to the main control board that is burnt or loose.

Don Lacinski,
Frigidaire Front Load Washers Error code E58
ERROR = High current on motor phase
ACTION = Unplug the washer and remove the drive belt.
Spin the motor pulley.
If it doesn’t spin freely, replace the drive motor.
If the motor spins freely, rotate the large drive pulley on the back of the washer tub to check the spin bearing.
If the pulley doesn’t spin freely, the outer tub and spin basket usually need to be replaced because a spin bearing failed.
If the spin bearing is sound, check the resistance of the motor windings for a reading between 4 and 6 ohms.
If the motor has failed, replace it. If the motor is sound, the speed control board usually needs to be replaced.
PARTS = Drive motor, Outer tub, Spin basket, Speed control board

Amy,
If moving the fridge fixed the issue, it may have needed to be unplugged to reset it or possibly you moved food around in the freezer and now the air is flowing properly and the fridge section is cooling. If it works, just observe it and if the problem comes back, let us know. Give us the model number of your fridge so we can assist if needed.

my 8 year old admiral top loading washing machine delays before starting. It’s an old school agitator non-he machine. I noticed about a month ago that when I pulled the button to start it, it would delay for a couple of seconds before it actually started. Now that delay has increased to about 30 seconds and I’m concerned that eventually it won’t start at all.
Yeah, I changed theverything control board because I saw a water stain on it and thought it might have just fried so I looked up the part and ordered another one, installed it but it still wouldn’t worked. So I looked up possible problems that could be and found that the door lock switch might be faulty so I ordered another one, installed but still nothing. So I tried testing the water inlet valves for current and didn’t get anything on the multimeter, I thought the solenoids might be fried, so I looked them up ordered, installed and it still does the same thing. I’m just getting frustrated with it. I don’t want to have to replace everything in it if not necessary
Dusty,
Can you give us more detail about what exactly happens when your Amana washer is put into wash mode? You changed the control board, door lock switch, and the inlet valves… What was the problem before you replaced these parts? Same as now? Has anything changed? Are the parts OEM? Were they installed properly? No error codes? Does the washer just sit and do nothing? Does the timer count down even though it does nothing when you hit start?

You may have a short in the door lock switch assembly, or the electrical control board. Check the door switch on the dryer to be sure it is not bad, check the wiring, and check the control board and wiring in that area.

Samsung Smart TV
Model code UN32F5500AFXZA
TV has sound but no picture. A very dimly lit picture blinks in and out every 7 seconds, then blinks back to black. Before it went out completely, it would occasionally blink off completely, and then come back on.
When viewing the tv from the back, there’s a faint light that blinks on when the picture blinks on showing through the vents. The light appears at the upper left and the right corners of the back of the tv vents. But back lights in general are not working.
There’s blue light activity at the bottom, showing through the vents.
Everything else works – sound, able to change channels, just no picture or rather no picture that stays on the screen.
Approximately how much would it cost to repair this tv by a professional? Or is it possible to find a replacement part for the defective part and install myself? Thank you!

I have a Maytag Maxima Model # MED6000XW2. We recently replaced the thermal fuse, cleaned the vents out and replaced the vent behind the dryer. After replacing the fuse the dryer started working again. But at 21 minutes left in the drying cycle it starts to make a loud noise. Most of the clothes are almost dry at that point but I am concerned at what is causing the noise. I have tried it several times and it always happens at 21 minutes left in the cycle. Thank you for any help that you can give.
I have just replaced a fan motor in my creda cooker oven and the fan is working as soon as the power is put back on without me having to put the oven on and when I open the door the oven goes off can anyone help me John in dublin
We replaced the drain pump in an LG front load washing machine model WM2710HV. After putting everything back together and powering on the machine all it does is ding 3 -4 times. A cycle cannot be chosen. All of the lights come on the display and no error codes. I have ordered and tried the control panel as well as the door lock.

I have a GE gsh25jsx side-by-side refrigerator with a non-working water dispenser. I have confirmed the operation of the water inlet valve. I get water to the disconnect at the base of the refrigerator. The line from that point appears to be clogged. I can run a piece of wire about 2 ½” feet up the hose in the door. From the water dispenser end, the wire only goes about 1” or so and stops. I know there is a solenoid that operates the ice dispenser flap. Does this also control the water dispenser in anyway? Or, is this simply a clogged water line; as some have noted needs to be thawed out due to be frozen?
FGHS2344KF3 is the model number.
Still no ice, or at least if it has been making ice its at times I don’t notice and if it was making ice its a lot less frequent than before. I don’t see a reset switch, just the arm for on and off. The water that was in the maker is now frozen but it has yet to eject. Fingers are still in the 10:00 or so position if looking straight on the freezer compartment.
I replaced the Control Board, part # WH12X10524 for my GE washer model
# GTWN4250M1WS. It did not resolve the issue. Maybe the only fix now is the motor?
ok, thanks for looking into it.
Chris,
What exactly did you replace on your washer? Can you give us the part number? We can look into this further and let you know what may be causing your issue.
-RR
Brian,
If ice was jammed in the ice maker and you cleaned it out, give it some time to make the ice. Be sure the temp is cold enough to make ice in the freezer. See if the temp control was inadvertently moved for the freezer temp. You may have a fault in the ice maker with the heater, motor, or board. Is there a reset button on your ice maker? What is the model number of your Frigidaire Refrigerator? Does your fridge have a display panel? If so, are you getting any error code readings on the display?
-RR
Agitator moves fine. It performs wash cycle completely and correctly, agitator movement and all. It drains, hums for a bit, then shuts down without rinsing or spinning. I finish load by setting it on rinse and spin and then it will proceed to do those functions.
Just checked all the connectors on motor itself and retesting.
Chris,
There is no agitator movement in any cycle? It spins and rinses but no agitator, correct?
If the agitator is not moving, you may have a bad motor coupler, agitator clogs, agitator bolt/cap, or other. Have you taken the agitator apart to see if there is any visible signs of damage?
-RR
OK, tried putting in new control panel and same exact thing happened: wash, followed by total drain, a few minutes of humming with no agitator movement and shut down. It is still rinsing and spinning on the rinse/spin only cycle.
So disappointed…wonder what I am missing here…let me know if anything else comes to mind.
Thanks,
Chris
I have Frigidaire Gallery side by side. I’m having trouble with the ice maker. It rarely makes ice after months of making ice like crazy. Last night I did find ice jammed in there and cleaned it out. It hasn’t made ice yet though. I feel water in the tray. The fingers are in a 10 to 11:00 position.
Chris,
Sounds to us like the timer assembly has a bad spot and needs replaced. The lid switch cannot be bad if the washer spins.
-RR
Hi again,
I wanted to follow up regarding my top loader GE GTWN4250M1WS. I have not bought the ohm meter yet but did check for loose/burnt wires (none).
Last night even the rinse and spin cycle which was working fine is now very difficult to activate, requiring me to play with the exact placement of the dial to get it to go on.
I also realized that it will only do the wash cycle (on wash settings) but not even rinse much less spin. It will rinse if I can get the dial just right on the rinse/spin only setting – so I do get cold water in for rinsing and a very strong spin on that select setting with difficulty.
Does this still sound like the timer control panel to you? I have one on order now and will pick up ohm meter to test today. Could it be the lid switch? I’m thinking not because it does spin sometimes.
Thank you again for your much needed help!
Much appreciated RR, I was also thinking the control panel might be the issue. I will certainly look into that. Thanks so much!
Chris,
If your GE washer is working properly on certain wash cycles but not others, usually that is the indication you have a bad timer control assembly. You should first remove power and open up the panel to check and see if you have a loose wire, burnt wire, or damaged timer assembly. You can also test the timer with a meter to be sure that is the bad part before ordering a new one.
-RR
Thank you for your wonderfully helpful website. I have a top loader GE GTWN4250M1WS and it will only spin on the Rinse or Drain/Rinse cycle. On any of the regular wash cycles, it only washer but does not spin. So it is capable to rinsing, draining and spinning perfectly, but just not on the wash cycles where it stops just short of fully draining and spinning.
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Todd Mckinzie,
If you find a wire hanging from the bottom of your washer, unplug the washer ASAP. Turn off water and remove the water hoses, slide unit out, and gain access to the inside of the washer. Find where the wire harness has come off and reattach. Most likely it has come loose from vibration and needs to be simply reattached.
-RR
I have a whirlpool front loader washer that there is a wire hanging down on the bottom of the drum it looks like it runs up to the computer board.
Mark,
The timer assembly or switch the knob turns is faulty. Replace it with a new OEM GE gas dryer switch or timer assembly.
-RR
I have a GE dryer and it keeps breaking knobs. Seems to be hard to turn. What may the problem be?
Chasity,
A Whirlpool top load washer with error code UL means an unbalanced load. Try reducing the number of items in the washer and redistribute them. Start another cycle and see if that fixes the issue.
-RR
Jess,
Make sure you wired the 4 to 3 prong correctly, most likely you did but the element wire may have been faulty to begin with if you bought the dryer used. Change the wire out and keep an eye on it. Also, be sure the thermal fuse has not been bypassed somehow if you bought it used.
-RR
I bought A whirlpool dryer that seemed to work fine…took it home…cleaned debris from inside the back panel and noticed no wire damage…replaced the 4 prong to a 3 prong plug… dried two loads of clothes and the heat quit…was checking heat element discovered the wire to the element was burned through about three inches away from the connector at a splice….what would cause this wire to burn up? Its a whirlpool dryer Wed5840sw0.
Our whirlpool top load whasher will not finish the last spin cycle it always says ul then starts the spin cycle over. We have tried the master reset but it is still doing it. It even does it with nothing in it.
Lia,
Most likely the board is causing the issue. How long is the warranty on the rebuilt board?
-RR
Bri,
Is the small light on the front panel of your LG TV flashing? The power light is what we are talking about.
Try using a different input as the input you are using may have an issue or the component you are trying to watch has an issue. Try watching a DVD or similar and see if the picture comes back.
You may also have LED backlight issues. How old is the TV and what is the model number?
-RR
I have a Kitchen aid refrigerator that the compressor would kick on and off for about thirty seconds to about two minutes. We had the computer board sent out for a rebuilt since they do not sell the computer board anymore. Upon the rebuilt being returned the tech installed it and the original problem was fixed, but now the fan on the freezer side runs and never shuts of at all. They sent it out twice more but this new problem is continuing and the tech is having trouble finding the problem, they have checked out all other options the model number is KSCS25FTMS00 ser num: SU1147534
I’m having a problem with my LG TV. I turn the TV on and the sound works but it has a black screen. Any tips on helping me fix this problem? I tried turning it off and turned it back on. Also I tried unplugging it for about an hour and a half and plugging back in. It still doesn’t work but the sound still works.
No this is not the part. The Basket Assembly Door is a wide slide out unit in the refrigerator that holds cheese, sandwich meat etc. Serves as a crisper and the door I am trying to replace is the door that moves up or down when the crisper unit is opened or closed. Sits in the refrigerator at the bottom and fills the entire width of the refrigerator.
Fred Jean,
First, make sure you have the correct part. If you do and the prongs are difficult to get into the door to secure it, use a hair dryer and heat up the plastic prongs. Then with gloves on (without burning yourself) push the prongs so they fit into the fridge door. This method will work if the prongs are a little off. Sometimes parts are made tight so they fit in snug and will not loosen and fall out. Let us know if you get it to fit into the door correctly. Is this the part LG Refrigerator Door Shelf you are installing?
-RR
Mari Hewitt,
If your Kenmore washer front load fills with water but does not spin, it may be a control board issue, a loose wire harness issue, a blocked drain issue, or other. Does your washer have the drain filter in front? If so clean it out and restart a load to see if that was the issue. Can you supply us with the model number so we can further assist?
-RR
I ordered a replacement Basket Assemble Door from LG (Part # 5005JJ2014A) for LG Refrigerator, Model # LFD21860ST. I notice it has two prongs at the top and on each side of the door that fit into two holes on each side of the refrigerator. To get the prongs into the holes, I have to bend the plastic door, and, I’m afraid to break it. Is there an easy way to get the prongs inserted into the holes without running the risk of breaking it? Thanks so much for you help.
I contacted LG but they could not answer my question or provide a video showing how to do it. They were no help at all.
Debra Scott,
Which fan did you replace and why? The fan in the freezer or down near the compressor?
-RR
My Kenmore side by side refrigerator when I plug it in the lights come on. I just replaced the blower fan, the freezer is cool but it does not freeze. The refrigerator is not getting cold. The numbers on the refrigerator are p1309 304 WW and 5 965-754-2790.
My Kenmore front loader wash machine will not spin, it fills and then does not spin, but makes a faint sound and the light for the lid stays on. We drained it then unplugged it then open the door 6 times and that did not reset it. What can it be? Will it be expansive to fix? Thank you for your time.
Done. Thanks again.
Thanks for your help, but I figured it out. The top of the door on the left side rubs against the underside of the counter top, making it appear to close tighter. If I lowered the left side of the dishwasher a fraction of an inch, both sides would be the same.
There’s a definite “click” at the top of the door, from each side, when it opens.
I don’t think so. When I pull the handle from the left side with “medium force” (not enough to open the door) it doesn’t move, but when I apply an equal pull from the right side of the handle, I can get separation between the dishwasher and the door (I’m talking only like 1/4 inch). There is definitely some kind of “catch” mechanism that’s not as strong. It’s definitely at the top of the machine. I’m 99% sure it’s not a spring problem.
Bill S,
Looks like springs/hinges according to this Frigidaire Professional Dishwasher FPHD2491KF Door Diagram.

Replace the t-con board and that should MOST LIKELY be your issue. What is the model number of your Sharp TV?
-RR
I have a 60″ Sharp Aquos TV with horizontal moving lines on it. The t-con board is humming at one of the ribbon connections, when i unplug the ribbon it stops. Is that still a screen problem or could it be the tcon board?
Charles Land,
Samsung dishwasher “lights for Smart Auto and Heavy are flashing” means error code “over fill”. The wash cycle doesn’t start in time and water reaches the over fill sensor. Replace the ECS sensor.
-RR
Thomas,
You could try and replace the gas coils. Possibly one of them is heating up and then wires open = no constant flame
-RR
Bill S,
Can you give us the exact model number of your Frigidaire Professional dishwasher, and we can let you know exactly.
-RR
David Welch,
If the washer does not shut off… it is most likely an electrical part that is faulty by being always “closed” and constantly supplying power to the motor. Most likely you do have something wrong with the timer assembly. If you have a multi-meter you can test it to be sure.
-RR
My washer runs through all the cycles but will final spin until you go in and shut it off. I put a load in last night before I went to bed and when I got up this morning it was still spinning. Clothes were almost dry. I have a Whirlpool top loader model GSQ9633LL0. I just don’t want to pay for a timer switch if there is any other possible culprit.
Own a 3 year old Frigidaire Professional dishwasher. Not a problem yet, but trying to figure out the closing mechanism on the door. It appears to be magnets on each side of the door, because I can’t find any other way. At any rate, the 2 sides do not close with equal holding power. One side is significantly better. First, is it magnets? Even though it’s not a problem yet, I’d like to know if I can fix it. Thanks.
I have tested everything on a Kenmore 110-74l 812200 Gas dryer all continuity checks out. We cleaned out all the exhaust vents and removed dirt debris near the blower. All other exhaust is fine.
Tested continuity on all parts and they check out” cycling thermostat, high limit thermostat, low limit thermostat, thermal fuse, solenoid/coils, igniter and the radiant flame sensor.
It seems to ignite gas once then not a second time. Sometimes it is cycling 2-3 times. With the drum and front panel off we seem to get about 3-4 flame cycles then it stops.
What is the best bet on what is wrong. all items seem to working.
I have a Samsung dishwasher model DW8O6OTTAWA (maybe its dw80f60utaw/aa). It stops running and the lights for Smart Auto and Heavy are flashing. Can you tell me if that signifies any particular problem?
Sue Stevens,

FE error code on LG dishwasher?
My Toshiba LED TV model 39 AL300 is dead. I found an IC with 7 pins (DIP) busted in the power supply board. I cant read the number of the IC. If you have any knowledge regarding this IC, please help me. The IC is same as IC TNY 268.
I have replaced the fan motor on my Daewoo freezer (Model No FRSU20DCB). The reason for this was that the ice-maker stopped producing ice, I noticed that the fan wasn’t working. The ice-maker is now producing ice, but it will not dispense from the front, all I get is a noise, which sounds like it’s trying to dispense the ice.
Thanks, the humming is coming from the motor area. It first sounds like it’s trying to start,and then the humming.. I will check the parts manual
Jack Delisle,
If the washer is constantly humming, there may be a STUCK CLOSED electrical part that is supplying constant power to the motor or other component. Is the humming coming from the control panel or in the washer like the motor or similar? Does the hum sound like an electrical buzz or like the motor is trying to turn? Any strange smells like electrical smell or rubber burning? Here is the PARTS MANUAL FOR THE WHIRLPOOL WTW5600XW0. Check the parts diagram and this may assist you with locating the problem. Let us know what you find.

Hi! I have a Samsung Top Load washing machine, model WA5471ABW/XAA. I recently got an error code tE1 at the end of washing a load. I shut the machine off and went to start another load and the error code still exists. I did some research and replaced the thermistor. We turned the machine back on, and the tE1 error code is still there. I read to run the “board input test.” I did this, but I’m unsure of what the numbers mean that I see. I understand that it says the door is unlocked and closed, which is correct. But then it shows the numbers 2617, d115, and 523 as I turn the dial. I’m at a loss of what I should do next? Should I replace the PCB? I don’t see any frayed wires and the washer is 4 years old. Thanks for any help!
My Cabrio washer won’t run. I tried to reset it like in the video but it doesn’t work. While the machine is off I turn it one click to the right. This lights up the panel for that cycle (quick wash) . When I hit start the motor sounds like it wants to start then it just makes a humming noise. When I shut machine off it still hums. Only stops when it’s unplugged. Model number wtw5600xw0
Scott Cody,
If both fans are not working, does the compressor kick on? A bad board or wire harness to the board could be the cause. You will need to troubleshoot further. Let us know what you find.

The controls are in a lock mode. When the controls are in the lock mode any button pushed will cause the 3 beeps.
To unlock the controls. Push and hold the Options and Select buttons at the same time and hold them down until the lock led light above the Pause/Cancel button goes off. Push pause cancel twice to clear previous options.

I have a Kenmore Elite Washing Machine. It will turn to the cycle, but when I push start it beeps 3 times and the door doesn’t lock, it’s a front load.
I have a GE Refrigerator Model GSS25JFMBWW. The Fridge and Freezer are both warm. Neither the condenser fan nor the evaporator fan are working. The lights are on so I know it has power. Would a bad capacitor or ptcr cause the fans to stop working? Or is this most likely a board issue?

-RR
My Amana washer makes the lid lock clicking noise then starts the fill cycle but doesn’t fill with water or even start to fill with water. It repeatedly does this over and over.
Ayra,
Many faults are caused by blocked filters. The motor is unable to drain all of the water. If you are unsure where the filter is, it is often behind the front lower kick panel and held in by a round cover. REMOVE POWER AND ENSURE YOU HAVE A BUCKET AND RAGS TO SOAK UP THE WATER WHICH WILL POUR OUT!

How to fix error codes U3 and U4 in washing machine on a Sanyo ASW A85HT
L Mortimer,
If the water line hoses are not kinked, the water valves are fully open, the water inlet valve on the washer itself is in working order and not clogged, then it may be the control board that is faulty and not “telling” the water inlet valve to open and dispense water. Have you tried resetting the washer? Unplugging and replugging into power to see if it may reset the issue? If not check the wire harnesses in the washer to be sure they are not loose. If everything is okay, you may have a control board issue.
-RR
Maytag Bravos Washer, model MVWB300WQ2.
The washing machine initially dampens the load but then when it calls for water to fill the tub to do the washing, it makes the sound like it is calling for water, but nothing comes. I first noticed the problem when I paused the cycle after about 15 minutes to check for load balance. The towels were mostly dry. At that point we checked the water intake filters and cleaned them but it didn’t make any difference. We also tried using different temperatures, but that didn’t do anything either. After checking the intake screens, we let the cycle continue and it finally wet the clothes about 2/3 of the way through but not to correctly wash and rinse. I was doing an average load of bath, hand, and kitchen towels.
Ernie,
Samsung 3E error code is a drive motor tach fault. To remedy this error code, check all connections on the motor, check all wire harnesses to be sure they are secrue. Lastly, check the hall sensor as this is what monitors the tub. Let us know what you find.

Melissa,
You most likely have a lint build up in an area you did not check. Possibly inside the dryer itself. If the dryer needs time to cool down before it runs again, you either have a large lint blockage somewhere or possibly a bad thermal fuse or other component. Check inside the dryer and the vent hose and wall to be sure there is no lint blockage. When the dryer is running, does it take forever to dry your clothes?
-RR
My question is about a Kenmore 70 series clothing dryer.
We recently discovered that our clothes dryer outlet/plug were corroding (visibly and had an odd odor). We replaced, and at the same time we cleaned out the back of the dryer and the large lint drum (not sure the correct name). After putting back together and running the dryer was working just fine (although making an occasional squeaking noise, which it did before the repairs).
Well just a day later, after trying to dry two loads of laundry, the dryer stopped on the second load. It seems to have overheated. Hours later, I was able to get the dryer going again, until about 20 minutes later it stopped again (again, seems overheated).
Any ideas on the issue? Did we break or hurt something in the cleaning process that would have caused this?
Thanks for any help!
Amy,
Can you give us the model number of your GE fridge?
If the freezer is not cooling very well, you may have too many items in the freezer therefore the cold air cannot circulate properly.
You could have a bad fan, compressor issue, or a thermostat issue.
It is possible the compressor is bad as a compressor running since 1991 may be on the fritz or have low r-134 refrigerant. It could be a number of things since the fridge is very old.
-RR
My top freezer in my refrigerator is not freezing like it should. Some of the items in the freezer are frozen, but others are not. The refrigerator on the bottom is working fine. It’s a GE from 1991 and I don’t see any leaks anywhere. We put a thermometer in there and it says it’s about 30 degrees inside the freezer.
Leonard,
The IF error code on your LG refrigerator is a problem with the Icemaker Fan or the motor. This can be resolved by allowing the refrigerator to thaw for about 4 hours, and then reconnecting it to power. If it does not, then you will need to replace one of the parts = Ice Maker Fan or Ice Maker Motor.
This is most likely why your LG refrigerator is leaking water, as the ice maker has issues.

I do not see any replacement shaft, bearing, or seals on the tub assembly diagram from Sears. What am I missing? Any assembly picture and part numbers would be appreciated.
Dennis,
When you overload a washer, it stresses the components. The belt is most likely making the smell as it may be slipping on the pulleys when you have a large load of laundry in it. Try reducing the amount of clothing you put in the washer or you could open the washer up and replace any worn parts that may be causing the burning smell to occur.
-RR
My Maytag washer model # MTW5620TQ2 has a burning smell after spinning, this only happens when its has a large load in it. It agitates and drains fine.

The Frigidaire refrigerator blinking H then 1 error “H1” means that the refrigerator believes that the freezer and refrigerator temperatures are warm.

Tracy,
If you removed the garbage disposal and snaked down to the basement, did you remove ALL plumbing pipes under the sink? Most of the time there will be one pipe slightly clogged. The plumbing pipe that goes from the disposal to the trap under your sink is the most likely spot where a clog can happen. There is usually a smaller hole in the end of this pipe that prevents larger items from going down into the main drain lines. Check ALL plumbing pipes under the sink and thoroughly clean them out.
-RR
Both sides of sink will not drain! There is a garbage disposal on one side. Ran snake from sink to basement pipes and the whole length of pipe in basement and no clogs. Took garbage disposal apart and there is a slight leak from the disposal. Put back together and still will not drain! Everything else and house drains fine.
Glen,
This could be a number of different issues. We would recommend unplugging the washer, opening the service panel and checking inside the washer for obvious signs of why the drum makes noise when turning. Does the it sound like a metal on metal sound? Like a grinding noise? It may be a transmission issue also. Have a look inside and let us know if you find obvious signs of damage. If nothing looks damaged, look under the washer to see if you find any shreds of metal, plastic, or oil leakage.

Mike Willis,
If the compressor was running for a few moments, then you heard a click from the control board in which at that time the compressor shut off, this sounds like a possible faulty control board. Access the control board and check to see if there are any visible signs of scorching or burn marks. It is NOT normal for the compressor to come on, and then go off a few seconds later. Check this first as it seems from what you have said, that the compressor, relay/cap are working. Let us know what you find.
-RR
Here is what I have tried following your suggestions:
I switched on the mains power and the freezer started and ran for 84 minutes and produced some ice cubes. I left it for about 15 minutes to see if the compressor would restart but no joy. On opening the door there was whooshing sound from around the compressor area, which stopped after a few seconds.
I turned off the mains power, waited a short while before turning back on. The compressor ran a few seconds when a click was heard from around the control panel (possibly a relay) and the compressor stopped. I left the appliance and it defrosted as it usually does. I can get to test the start capacitor but not sure what to look for, I do have a multimeter. The appliance is just 4 years old. Any more suggestions please.
I have a Samsung 13kg Wobble Tech top loader washing machine. It stopped spinning and agitating.
We replaced the motor, but it still has the problem.
Please advise what the problem can be?
Was wrong – machine is TOP loading, not front loading. Even when first turn on machine and it is ‘sensing’ size of load, you can hear the noise. When lid is open and you give tub a spin, sounds like a rough bearing. Is this costly and better to purchase new machine or something not costly and worth calling repairman to do?
Mike Willis,
Is the compressor starting as it should? It will not run constantly but is it running at all after the 70 minutes? It sounds like you may have a weak start cap or relay. Are you able to check these parts to see if they are actually starting the compressor? Do you hear a clicking noise when the compressor is trying to start? It may be a number of things but let us know about the compressor and we can go from there.

Onua,
You may have a broken part that is not letting the drum turn. Unplug the appliance, open the service panel, and look inside. You will most likely find a belt, or other part that is broken and will need to be replaced.

I have an LG FUZZY LOGIC 9.0 kg T8501TEPT-TURBO DRUM which the outer wash plate turns but the tub ring does not. When you turn by your hand is very hard. What will be the course.
I have a Lamona freezer hja6403, serial number 1010759309. I opened the door recently to find it had defrosted itself and the trough in the bottom was completely full of water. I baled it out and dried the interior of the freezer compartment. When I restarted the appliance all seemed okay, it started to produce ice cubes but stopped running after 70 minutes. I tried this several with the same result each time. I replaced the temperature sensor in the freezer compartment as a precaution, but to no avail. Your comments would very much appreciated. Many thanks.
Glen,
The repairman most likely adjusted the balancing rods or similar. If the machine is out of whack, these rods or springs (depending on exact model of front load washer) can be adjusted to center the tub so it will not knock and hit the sides. Do the same thing as he did, you will find the areas to adjust and recenter the tub.
-RR
Kenmore front loading washer Model 11026002011
Loud knocking noise when machine is spinning. Extremely loud. Had this happen when machine was just year old and repairman came out, tipped up machine, adjusted something within 30 seconds and all has been fine. Said it was a common problem. I didn’t write down what he did but think it is the same problem.
Machine was purchased 2011.
Jeff Lane,
Does your Whirlpool washer overflow as in gets water on the floor? Or does the washer overfill? If you have water fill level issues, check the washing machine pressure switch. The complete info you need to check How to fix an overflowing washing machine is here.

Ellen,
Problems with your Samsung refrigerator…
1 – What diagram or advice did you follow to remove the ice bucket? Does it not simply pull up and out?
2 – So now the ice maker makes cubed whether you choose crushed or cubed? Is this still happening? Even if the display says crushed, you still get cubed ice?
3 – Now when you dispense water, you hear noises such as banging water lines?
How old is the refrigerator? Is the temp setting correct in the freezer section? You may have air in the water lines or a water line is not secured, so when you use it, the water line hits the side of the inner fridge. Have you done any troubleshooting to be sure there are no loose water lines? Try unplugging the complete fridge for 10 minutes and see if that resets anything. Let us know what you find.
-RR
I have a French door Samsung Refrigerator – Samsung Model RF25HMEDBSR/AA purchased more than a year ago.
Ice maker is producing ice but has a very loud noise (just like grinding noise) when dispensing ice – cubed or crushed – but louder for cubed. I tried to pull out the ice bucket as I was advised to reset it but after following all the instructions, the ice bucket can’t be pulled out. I turned off the ice maker for two days, still can’t pull out the ice bucket. I turned on again the ice maker, ice was produced, tried to dispense, choosing the crushed is not as loud as the noise for cubed but crushed and cubed options are both dispensing cubed. And when water is dispensed, there is a noise after just like from within the refrigerator something like banging tubes or metals.
Hi I have a Whirlpool washer top loader. It overflows only on the first washing cycle after that it cycles as it should. Could the timer possibly be the issue? On rinse cycle it works great along with the rest of the wash. Thank you.
Lisa,
If it makes a noise, you may have a belt issue. We would recommend to unplug washer, open the service panel and check inside with a flashlight for obvious signs of damage. Order replacement parts if necessary.
-RR
M,
You may have a faulty defrost timer or control board. After you turn power off and back on, how long does your Samsung refrigerator work until you need to reset it again? Is it the same amount of time each time you need to pull power?
-RR
I have Samsung fridge RL 38EBMS it does not switch on after the defrost cycle heater stays on. Switch off power and it resets the fridge and will start working again.
I have a Whirlpool top load washer. It will drain but not spin. It makes a terrible noise during the draining process. What should I do or replace first to resolve the problem.
Rick,
The error code F3 E1 on your Kenmore washer means: Water level signal out of range
Check the water level pressure tube for kinks, blockages or air leaks. Replace the water level pressure tube if damaged. The water level detector is a component of the main electronic control board. If the water level pressure tube is okay, replace the main electronic control board.
-RR
That is exactly the point. Thank you very much for saving me time & money.
I have a Kenmore series 600 washing machine. Model number is 110.26132410 and it is type 589-03. It is flashing error code F3 E1. Any ideas what it could be?
Alan,
Can you please supply us with the model number so we can further assist? Does the washer skip the spin cycle all together or just spin very slow? Any strange noises or smells when the washer spins slow?
-RR
Thank you so much for your reply. As for areas that do or don’t allow the chemical method, I live in an unbelievably rural area which is about 20 miles from any incorporated town. I frankly don’t know if the lie under the house is cracked since the rear of the house (where the laundry room is) is built into a hillside and is on a slab and the front of the house has a crawl space since it’s on the downhill side of the house. There are no problems under the crawl space that we’ve been able to locate and we are NOT having issues with other drainage when showering, using the faucet or toilet, etc. It is only the washing machine that has the issue. The closest tree to the washing machine/laundry room is literally on the farthest corner of the house away from that room–i.e. the laundry room is located on the northeast corner of the house and the nearest tree is on the southwest corner. It’s very frustrating, labor intensive (have to run the drain hose into a large plastic garbage can used exclusively for that purpose) and tough on this little woman’s back.
I have a Simpson front loader 5kg washing machine that wont do the long spin and the clothes come out wet. I have unblocked the pump and checked everything else as the quick fix guide. I have even done a master reset. Could you advise me on any thing else. Thank you.
Randy,
Have you checked the solenoids? Usually that is an issue if the burners do not remain lit. Check solenoids for proper power and operation.
-RR
Daniel,
If lid switch is operating as it should, then it sounds as if control module is malfunctioning since it is what controls the timing of the wash cycle. Open the panel and be sure all the wiring harnesses are attached properly and secure, if so then the next option here is to try and find a cheap control module or by a used one on eBay.
-RR
Paul,
Buy a complete new wire harness to fix your blower motor. That is the safest way to repair it. Then position it correctly so it does not melt again.
-RR
Marianne,
If the TV rolls top to bottom on any input then the issue is with the TV obviously. Have you tried unplugging the TV from power for 10 minutes or so? It may reset it. Also try leaving the TV on for a period of time to see if it stops rolling. It may also be a simple adjustment of the picture settings in the menu but if the TV is rolling you can’t see it. So, leave it on for about an hour, if the screen stops rolling go into picture settings and click reset or back to default settings. This will reset the TV and should fix your issue. If not, you more than likely have a bad TV and a board needs to be replaced inside the TV. It may be best if you get to this point to look for a replacement TV.
-RR
Nataloe,
If your dryer heats up for 10 or so minutes then the thermal fuse is not blown. When the thermal fuse is bad the dryer will not heat at all. When the dryer stops heating, does it still spin and tumble or does the dryer shut off? You could have a large lint build up that is causing it to overheat. Check the lint filter, vent hose, and where vent goes into wall for a large lint clog. If the vents are clear you may have a thermostat issue. More troubleshooting will be necessary.
-RR
Pete,
The issue sounds like a control board malfunction. We had the exact same issue with a KitchenAid fridge and the control board fixed the problem. Here is the control board you need that substitutes the part number you have supplied us… KitchenAid KBFS25EVMS0 Refrigerator Electronic Control Board. It is $126 bucks and in stock…
The information for the control board states:
This manufacturer-approved electronic control board (part number 12782036SPR) is for refrigerators.
Electronic control board 12782036SPR manages the functions of the refrigerator such as cooling and defrost times.
Safely store any food that could deteriorate while the power is off and unplug the refrigerator before replacing this part. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. This Refrigerator Electronic Control Board part #12782036SPR is guaranteed to fit your KITCHENAID REFRIGERATOR
We notice the part number substitution is a number off… You have supplied us with 12782038SP and the part substitutes part number 12782036SPR. Is the part number you supplied us correct? Double check and either way SearPartDirect should have the exact board you need.

Rahfreda,
Frigidaire affinity front load washer E5E error code is a communication error. Check the wiring between the control board and the speed control board. If the wiring is secure and not damaged then check the control board and replace if necessary. (Which you have already done) If after replacing the control board and all wire harnesses are securely connected and in working order, then the next step is to replace the speed control board.
Be sure to verify each wiring connector harness between the two boards, and do a resistance check of each wire to ensure you don’t have a broken or shorted wire.
-RR
Frigidaire affinity front load give error code E5E. Fills with little water then stops. A few minutes later it fills with a little more. No spin at all. Changed control board, but problem is still the same, so I put old one back on. Not sure what else to check. Any help greatly appreciated.
Sarah,
If the back of the dorm unit fridge was damaged, most likely it has broken the compressor refrigeration lines or damaged the compressor. If that is the case it is best to buy a new one as the fix will cost more than the dorm fridge itself.
-RR
Bernard,
Can you supply us with the model number of your Kenmore refrigerator? Also, when you say the fridge does not start on its own, are you unplugging it and plugging it back in each time to make the compressor start or simply just turning the temp control to a lower temp? Please explain in detail what exactly you are having to do to start the fridge.
How long are you waiting for the fridge to start before you manually restart?
Are the lights on inside the fridge?
-RR
Selene,
If the issue is the roots that are preventing your washer from draining, some areas do not allow or approve of the chemical method. You should find where the roots are coming from and either remove the tree so the roots do not come back and block your washer from draining, or every year or so, have someone manually remove the roots. It is up to you which way to remove roots to keep your washer draining. Is your drain line under your home cracked? How are the roots entering the drain under your home? Are you having issues with draining when showering, using the faucet etc? Is it only affecting the washing machine from draining?
-RR
I have a Maytag front loader that I began having draining problems with. Drain hose just fills up, then floods the laundry room. Spend a bunch of $$$ to have plumbers out to recommended stupid things like lifting my entire house up to the tune of $8K, etc. A man who does odd jobs came out and removed a bunch of sticks and roots from the drainage line just beyond the trap. Worked great….for about a year and a half, just enough time for the roots to grow back.
Any Ideas about how to either remove said roots without tearing out the walls in my house or killing them chemically (a process I understand will have to be repeated periodically)?
Thanks, Selene
My Kenmore Fridge does not start on its own. Food gets warmer in the freezer section and I have to start the fridge by increasing the cold control. After the food in the freezer reaches the freezing temperature fridge stops running and it won’t start by itself. Can you please help me to fix this problem. Fridge is one door, freezer on top. It is kept in the garage. When the fridge has stopped, I don’t hear any noises from the fridge. It is completely dead. Power is on.
I placed a Frigidaire Dorm unit refrigerator only 5 months old into storage and now it will not operate. The back electrical panel looks as is if has been pushed in. Could it be jammed, can it be fixed?
KitchenAid KBFS25EVMS0 refrigerator fresh food compartment (fridge) not holding temperature. Everything else works, such as freezer, lights and control panel. Inducing manual defrost via control panel restores fridge temperature for 8 hours, before deteriorating/elevating. Service repair man measure voltage levels of defrost circuit found it was 120 before and after defrosting, and indicated control board needs to be replaced. 12782038SP control board is about 3 bills and on MFG back order. Considering buying one on internet but wondering if there is any chance the problem can be corrected by replacing bi-metallic defrost thermostat. Unsure how control panel controls defrost timing interval, or how it can be faulty when it supports manual defrost and does not display error code. Appreciate your time and assistance in diagnosing fridge problem. Thanks.
I have a Kenmore dryer (model # 417.84082500), that has started to not heat up, and will just stop drying after about 10 minutes. At one point not too long ago it seemed like it might be overheating, so maybe needs new thermal fuse. But unsure if more needs replacing since the dryer stops drying also.
I have a 28″ Toshiba TV. Up until recently it worked great. All of a sudden, The picture began rolling. It does it with any thing plugged in and by itself (menu etc) it’s my special needs son’s TV, so I’d love to be able to fix it myself if possible! Model 26AV520R. TV Rolls top to bottom.
My Electrolux wave touch dryer’s blower motor wiring harness had a melted black wire. Can I replace just the black wire with a spliced wire, or do I need a while new wiring harness?
Amana washer mod# NTW4501XQO. Washer fills and starts to agitate for about 30 seconds then stops and does nothing for rest of wash cycle. Then drains, spins, fills for rinse cycle, does not agitate at all, and then drains, spins and done. Lid switch seems to be working properly and I did a control board reset by turning the dial forward and backward a number of times and let it go through its reset mode. Did not help. New control module costs more than the machine is worth, any other suggestions?
My Whirlpool super capacity 465 gas range/oven, model SF367LEMB. oven heats when baking but after a period of time bottom burner will not relight to maintain baking temp.
Jose Rivera,
If the new pump does not drain, you may have a bad electrical connection, a clogged or bent drain hose, or the drain in the floor or in the wall may be blocked and therefore the water cannot flow out. Can you hear the drain pump running when it goes to drain? What happens when it goes to drain? It stops? Keeps running normally but NO DRAIN? Explain in detail and we can assist further.
-RR
Sally,
If the fan is not spinning it may be because it is caked with thick dust. If it is not working you can order another one on Amazon as they are cheap and super easy to replace yourself. Let us know when Samsung gets back to you and let us know what they have to say about the issue.
-RR
Jim,
If you have done the complete troubleshooting needed and replaced multiple parts and the issue of the board burning in the same spot occurs, there could be a wiring issue in the dryer that is causing it. Have you traced ALL wires and wire harnesses to be sure it is not a wiring issue? Is something shorting the wiring and causing the board to burn? Any exposed wire that runs to the control board that could be causing the board to fry? It IS possible the motor could be causing the issue but further troubleshooting will be needed to be sure. Have you checked the motor to be sure it is in perfect working order? How old is the dryer?
-RR
Samsung dryer dv220aew/xaa. It stopped blowing heat. Everything else runs strong. I replaced the complete heating element assembly, not just element. Also replaced thermistor and thermal fuse. I cleaned the inside of machine and fired it up and it still did not blow heat. I do not have it hooked to vent so there is no vent issues. I did research to check main control board. I removed it and found a spot that shorted out on board. I repaired wire and replaced board. I inspected all wires before closing back up. Fired up the dryer and it was working great, did three loads with no problem, shut machine off went to bed and woke up next morning to smell burnt plastic. It appears new board shorted at same spot and I have no heat again. I need to run out to get a new meter to check breaker and outlet. Logic tells me even if they are running low it would have not worked last night for 3 hours and would not cause a short on exact spot of board. Obviously that spot on board controls heat and I have replaced everything heat related. I can only think that maybe the motor is somehow shorting out that spot on the board? I believe the heat power runs thru the motor but not sure. There is not much left in here to replace. I don’t see any wire issues. Thanks for any help.
I poured a whole jug of hot water slowly down the drain hole. Initially it seemed to reduce the leak quite a bit but over 24 hours later it is definitely still leaking. Also a yuk smell coming from my fridge today, not sure if it’s related to pouring water down the hole? Any more ideas or should I just give up? Samsung are supposed to be getting back to me after it’s been referred to their 2nd tier support team, but I’m not holding my breath on that one. It’s not under warranty and Samsung seem pretty useless.
Also I have taken the back off the fridge again and found the ‘drip tray’ which now has a bit of water in it. Noticed the fan near it was not spinning. Covered in dust too so maybe hasn’t been spinning for some time. How can I get that fan working again?
I really can’t tell cuz when we first found the leak on the white nozzle my husband put some stuff on it to seal it if that was the case so we wouldn’t order the part he sealed it good a couple of times too….but idk if there some type of pressure that is forcing water to go through….someone said they bought a new steam generator but we don’t even use them steam another story said she unplugged it but I’m not sure exactly what to unplug n keep connected….I’ve checked the black hoses and they seem to b good…I can try tapping it real good and putting some seal on it again I just don’t know if there some else I need to check
I have a Maytag washer model mav6451aww. It wont drain, had service men come by and look at it and they told me the pump was bad. I went to buy a new pump, installed it, and still not pumping. What is wrong? Anybody know? It is not draining.
Rose Garcia,
When you say the steam is bursting through, is it coming from where it threads in or is the part cracked?
-RR
yes I fixed the nozzle it’s a white plastic nozzle connector that connect the steam generator and the other is the water inlet valve for cold water…my husband did fix it but there is some kind of pressure that’s Burtsing through it still…I don’t know from where or what may be clogged I’ve read 1 story that’s like mine I really just wanna unplug the steam but I’m not sure I can idk if there is something else I should b checking
I tried contacting them and they said there are no problems with the ice makers! What a joke. Not under warranty and replaced it twice already. Done with Samsung!
Ken,
Your Kenmore 80 series washer is experiencing a siphoning effect. Check how low the drain hose is on the back of your washer. If it is not positioned correctly, the washer will fill and drain at the same time.
-RR
I have a Kenmore 80 series washing machine that sometimes when the water is running in the tub it is like the dump valve is open. The water keeps running but the tank don’t fill up it runs runs and runs.
Sally,
Okay, we understand your issue, you have a frozen or clogged drain hole. If it is blocked the water cannot drain. That hole drains down into the bottom of the fridge. If it is blocked water can and will leak. You should pour hot water into the drain hole to unfreeze it or unclog it. Once you have the drain hole 100% clear, you will not have anymore leaks. Here is a page dedicated to a frozen or clogged freezer drain hole.
-RR
Okay, I checked everything and I could find anything at the back and it all seems okay. No water anywhere, everything seems tight and undamaged. Inside the fridge when u remove the evaporator cover, there is what looks like a drainage hole underneath the coil thing. Where does that hole go? And if it was blocked or damaged would it cause the leak at the front?
Sally,
Unplug fridge, pull out from wall, check to see if there is anything leaking. There is either a minor clog in a valve, inlet, or water line and when water pressure is applied the leak occurs or something is loose or a hole is in the line. The water inlet valve is at the very back of the fridge where the water line enters from the wall. Check all water line connections with a wrench to be sure everything is tight. Something may be cracked or malfunctioning to cause the leak. You could have a small hole in the water line too. Use a bright flashlight when you get to the back of fridge. Most major leaks are obvious to find. If it is a minor leak you may have to do some extra troubleshooting to find the exact area.
-RR
Kevin,
What are you testing that gave you a reading of 01.6? Have you made sure the thermal fuse is not blown? Dryer vent hose is not blocked? What is the model number of your Roper dryer?
-RR
Connie,
Yes there are known issues with certain Samsung fridge ice makers. Usually the solution is to replace the complete ice maker assembly. Is your refrigerator still under warranty? If so, call Samsung, and they will usually send you a new ice maker that you can install yourself. We had the same issue with our GE refrigerator and GE sent us a new ice maker as they knew there was an issue with the ice makers, kinda the same issue with some Samsung refrigerators. If it is not under warranty, call Samsung directly and give them the model number and they can tell you if there are some known issues with the ice maker and at times they will send a new one even if the fridge is not under warranty.
-RR
DCH330,
The ice maker may have an issue with filling timing or other issues. The ice maker may have a timer in it that is not functioning properly. You could replace the timer refill in the ice maker or possibly replace the complete ice maker as the complete ice maker may be only a few dollars more than the parts contained within it.
You could have the following issues…
1 – Timer fill valve
2 – Thermostat timing malfunction
3 – Ice Maker or Fridge Not Level
4 – Water Inlet Valve Bad or Ice Maker Water Level Needs Adjusted
-RR
Rose Garcia,
If the nozzle is leaking, can you tighten it back into place? If not, is it cracked or damaged in any way? What is the nozzle made of, plastic, metal? If it is loose, you can put plumbers tape on the threads and reinstall to stop the leak.
-RR
I have a steam Front load washer that leaks when spin from the white nozzle connector. It goes to the steam generator and the water inlet. I dot know what to do. I can unplug the steam kit and I did but still leaks. I didn’t do it right I do not know what to check?
Samsung Model RB195BSSW – Ice maker fills for about 5-7 seconds then shuts off appropriately. Then about 15 seconds later it fills again for about 2-3 seconds which causes the water to overflow into the ice bucket and freezes solid. Sometimes it will flow a third time a few seconds later for about 1 second. I’m hesitant to think it’s an issue with the water valve and may be an issue with the control board. Thoughts?
I have a Samsung Refrigerator Model RSG257AARS/XAA. The ice maker has been a constant headache from day 1! Now the black flapper won’t stop flapping when dispensing ice cubes.
I have problem with my Roper dryer not producing heat. When testing thermostats and coil with digital multimeter reading suppose to be all zero or infinity. What if it shows a number like 01.6 or higher. Does this mean its bad or good.
Yes the hole where the waterline exits the bottom of fridge before it goes up to the freezer. Water sits in the hole around the waterline then drips out onto the floor. Started after we moved house/transported the fridge. Haven’t checked water inlet valve – where is that located? Is there anything else that joins this channel/hole where the waterline runs, like a blocked/full drip tray or something at the back of the fridge? Advice was to replace water tank but no water whatsoever near or around water tank and it was replaced 18months ago. Thanks
Sally,
When you say your Samsung Refrigerator is leaking water at the exit point… You are saying the water leak is happening where the water line exits at the bottom of the fridge before it goes to the freezer? If you have replaced the water line then the leak must be happening at a fitting or possibly something is cracked. Have you removed items like water inlet valve and the fittings for the water to inspect for damage?
-RR
My Samsung fridge SRS583HDP has a leak. The waterline that runs from the internal water tank, through a hole, under the fridge, then out a hole behind the kick plate at the bottom of the fridge, before joining a coupler to follow up to the freezer side. It is at the exit point out of the fridge that the water drips. No water inside the fridge, around water tank/waterline or anywhere else. Waterline replaced twice to no avail. Repair man recommended through Samsung has no idea. Any ideas?
Z,
If your washer is making loud noises and you smell something burning while it is washing, we would recommend not to use the machine until it is fixed as further damage can be caused. You most likely have a belt that is loose or twisted and possibly the pulleys are not aligned or they may be loose. Use the machine at your own risk until it is repaired. It may cost more to fix it if you keep using it.
-RR
I have a Maytag washing machine that is making loud noises and causing a mild burning smell during spin, it also leaks, would it be hard to fix, and is it safe to use in the meantime, as it might take several days before it is fixed.
Chris,
Did you have this issue before you installed the new vent line with 2 90 degree bends?
You may have a solenoid issue. Have you made sure they are in working order?
Can you supply us with a make and model number of your gas dryer?
-RR
I have a gas dryer. When I turn it on it runs fine. I can hear the burner come on and it starts to get nice and hot. After about 5 minutes it begins to cool down and I have to dry the clothes twice and they are still a little damp. I made sure the lint trap is clear each time I run it. I changed the exhaust line from the dryer to the outside to a more rigid pipe so I know it is clear with only 2 90 degree bends. It is either a Whirlpool or a Maytag. Can you help me?
Lori,
Check the wiring harnesses on the washer to be sure everything is secure and connected for the START and STOP issue. If the dog ears did not fix the issue, you may have a clutch or transmission issue. Have you checked the belt and pulleys too? Can you give us the model number of your washer to further assist you?
-RR
I have a Kenmore top loading washer that began to make a grinding noise when it was agitating. It was suggested that I replace the dog ears, which I did. The noise is still there but now the washer will start each cycle then stop then start again a few minutes later. This pattern is continues until the the washer has completed all of the cycles.
Dianne,
Replacing the fridge is expensive, anything can be repaired if you know where to look and what the symptoms are. Have you checked to be sure the fan in the back of the freezer is running? It won’t be running all the time, only when the fridge senses it needs to be colder. If the fan DOES NOT spin or turn, you either have a bad fan motor or the wiring is faulty. If the fan is bad, $20 dollars or so will fix your issue. Let us know if the fan in the freezer works and we can go from there to help you fix your Samsung side by side fridge.
-RR
I have a 10yr old Samsung side by side fridge. The freezer is working perfectly but the fridge is not cooling. The temp control indicates that it is at 1 degree but it is not. I called a refrigeration technician and they just said that they don’t touch these models, with no explanation why. I need to know asap if I need to buy a new fridge or if it can be fixed and what the problem may be.
David Z,
You may have knocked the capacitor or relay off of the compressor. Make sure everything is connected and secure. If everything is secure and working, you may have moved the compressor refrigerant around to where it will not run properly or the pressure has been let out of the lines. Let it sit in its correct flat position for a day or 2 and see if the compressor kicks on.
-RR
Just moved my chest freezer. Had to stand on end to move. Let set a week, plugged lit
in and the compressor won’t kick in. Running when I unplugged it. Help?
Chuck,
If the washer will go into the spin cycle by ONLY manually using the timer knob, the lid switch is good but the timer switch may have a bad or burned spot on it. Remove the timer assembly and check for burnt or scorched marks on it. Most likely you will find that the timer is bad and needs replaced.
-RR
I have a Maytag Atlantis top load machine that skips the spin cycle. When a load is done, the basin is still full of water. If I reset the knob to spin it works. tried the unplug, lift the lid thing but it didn’t fix the problem. Any ideas?
Billy,
Does the drum STOP turning after the 20 to 30 minutes AND it stops heating?
OR
Does the dryer drum STILL TURN but the heat is no longer on?
If the drum still turns, the issue is not the motor. The motor in your electric dryer simply turns the drum. If the drum turns, the motor is fine.
If it stops heating but still turns, you have a thermostat, thermal fuse, element or blower issue.
When an electric dryer runs but there is no heat, then there may be a faulty thermostat in the dryer.
In some dryers there is an electric blower motor that helps to expel the hot air, if your model dryer has one, be sure it is working.
You can test the components with a meter to be sure.
Can you give us the model number of your Kenmore dryer?
-RR
I have a kenmore electric dryer, my fiance noticed it kept stopping about 20-30 minutes into a cycle. It seemed to me like it was overheating, as it would run after half an hour or so of cooling down. I took the dryer apart and cleaned/vacuumed all of the lint out (there was a lot), checked for any blockages, took the hose out of the wall/dryer and cleaned out all of the lint there. I put it back together and it ran fine on low heat, tested on high heat and it ran for almost a full cycle (much better than it had been doing) and shut off again, won’t start until it cools down. Is there anything else I can try before I have to spend the money on a new motor?
Leon,
When the thermal fuse keeps blowing on a dryer, you usually have a lint blockage in the vent hose, the dryer itself, or in the wall. Have you checked all 3?

Fiona,
Turn the knob to off. Close the door. Turn the knob to 6 o’clock position. Wait 2 seconds. The start/pause should begin flashing. (If the start button doesn’t flash that’s okay). Press and hold the spin button. (It may be marked RPM). Turn the knob to 7 o’clock position. Wait 2 seconds. Release the button. Turn the knob to off. This should erase the error code.

Jasma,
Usually a stand up oscillating type of fan has a cage around the blade that simply connects together by sliding small levers. Is the fan cover falling off? Is the fan loose on its stand? Can you explain further and what make the fan is?
-RR
I have a stand up fan, and my daughter pushed down on it too hard. Now its hanging off the stand. Kind of disconnected but it still blows air. Is their a way I can fix this?
I had a F21 fault and I cleared the panel but now F:00 is coming up, my washing machine i a bosch…
I have a Samsung Dryer DV419AEW/AXX and it has ran wonderful for two years. In the spring the heating element burned up. I fixed this and she ran fine until July. In July the dryer stopped heating so I tested everything and found the thermal fuse blown. This was replaced and ran until now. The thermal fuse blew again so I replaced it and the fuse blew immediately. I have check the air flow and gaskets. What am I missing?
Barry,
See what the oven is worth. If cost of having it professionally refurbished is much less, then go that route. You can buy parts yourself at SearsPartsDirect. They have all parts for ovens and ranges and they are OEM. You could probably just clean it out, make sure it is in working order (valves, wiring, etc.) and test it. A simple cleaning and possibly a part or 2 installed by you should have it up and running. No real reason to buy a new oven or have a pro refurbish it. Save money and DIY.
-RR
I had a fire in my gas oven. Turkey fat dripped out of the pan, got to the burners, and caught fire. I used a fire extinguisher put it out quickly but I haven’t used it since.
The question is whether to replace the oven or have it professionally taken apart and cleaned. It’s an almost top of the line Sears, about 10-15 years old.
Conrad,
Yes sounds as if the drain pump may be jammed. First take inside apart to get to the drain area. Check for anything that may be not letting the water to drain. If it is clear, then the issue is most likely in the drain pump. Either jammed or may be bad. You can test with a meter to see if the drain pump works properly if you find that it is not jammed.
-RR
Bosch dishwasher SHE4AM15UC/01. Water not drain completely. drain pump area is cleared. when tried to start it. I could hear some noise then after a few seconds, the light would jump from Active to Clean and water did not get drained and remain inside. Please let me know what is the issue? can this the drain pump issue?
Justin,
Does compressor actually turn on or is it trying to start and fails?
-RR
I have an Amana fridge it stopped working. Sounds like compressor might kick on for a sec then is quiet and doesn’t get cold. Freezer fan works. Is there a quick fix or some things common that needs replacing? Model asd2620hrb.
Bill,
Have you checked the water pressure switch? It may be clogged therefore not letting water into the tub at the proper time. Clean out the clear tube also to be sure there are no clogs in the line. Checking a water pressure switch on a top load washer is here. The timer could be the source of the issue but check your pressure switch first.
-RR
Dan,
Might be wise to call another service tech appliance company to check the lines and pressure. If after having the compressor replaced you are having compressor issues, it is possible that the techs equipment is faulty or possibly the wrong refrigerant was put in. R134 vs R12 maybe a mixture of both? If the gurgling sound is heard, you may be low on refrigerant or the lines are clogged.
-RR
I have a Kenmore series 70 washer top loader. It does not fill with water in the wash cycle on any of the settings. It will fill with water when switched to the rinse cycle. when washer is full of water and you turn selector knob to wash it works fine. Could this be the Timer?
KitchenAid KSSP42QJS00 fridge. Have had the fridge serviced 2 times now since the compressor was replaced. The compressor still runs non-stop, except for when the mechanically timed defrost cycle kicks in (having thermostat replaced next – it was never checked). The freezer does cool down to well below zero as low as -6 to -7 deg F at normal settings. The compressor sounds tinny/clangy/mechanically unhappy, likes it’s working too hard. There is a constant gurgling sound in the system. There is never ANY frost buildup at all on the evaporator, and only the very first section (1/4) of the condenser coil is warm. These two things are bothering me, but I’m not sure if my concern is misplaced. I’m also concerned that the service tech’s equipment is faulty when checking the pressures and Freon. Hoping I don’t have a blockage somewhere in the system. Will update after thermostat is replaced, but any additional words from things mentioned above would be greatly appreciated.
Creda GGH 180 (No 42406) Spark Ignitor Switches for 5 burners. How to replace them instructions? Son spilled tea on 2 ignitors switches 4 months ago, dried it out. When I plug in unit, all 5 ignitors go off at the same time, without turning a knob. If I turn on Burner 1 and then 3, the ignitors stop on all 5. If I allow Burner 1 to stay on while turning off Burner 3, or vise versa, all 5 ignitors click, dont stop until I unplug from the wall. I dont know if this is a switch problem or a wire problem or something else. Any advise would be appreciated.
Laura,
If ice is only dispensing on your Samsung fridge when you press the test/reset button, make sure the ice maker On/Off option is set to the “On” position. This is a common issue and is ONE of the reasons the ice will not fall into the bin without pressing the buttons manually. If the ice maker is ON, then you may have an issue with the motor or timer. If you have a multimeter you can check the parts for proper operation.
-RR
I have Samsung Refrigerator Model RSG257AARS. The ice maker makes ice but will not release the ice into the ice bin unless I hit the reset button. Ice maker is turned on….bin is seated properly …. Water fills properly…freezer temperature is -4. I have searched for a cure for this problem everywhere…do i need to replace the entire ice maker or will i still have the same problem?
Terry,
Usually salty water from a softener means something is wrong during the regeneration cycle. You may have a problem with the control head like a stuck open valve. Possibly the softeners drain line is clogged and cannot flush out the resin tank at the end of the regen cycle.
-RR
Tony,
You most likely have a bad start relay or cap. If these parts are bad the compressor will not start and the fridge will not cool. Check with a multimeter to be sure or replace the starter/capacitor if you do not know how to use a meter. They are cheap parts to replace so guessing will not cost you piles of money.
-RR
Ron,
Check the wiring behind panel. May have loose or damaged wire harness that has become damaged or loose from vibration. Please give more details if further help is needed.
-RR
Alan,
Yes most likely the thermostat or bad wiring. Check the wiring on the terminals on the cooker. Be sure the wiring is secure and not burnt or damaged. Use a meter to be sure. If the wiring is okay then check thermostat as if it is bad it will not allow power to the element or may be intermittent.
-RR
Toni,
There is a small sensor or microswitch that may be stuck closed. If stuck the water will continue to come out of the dispenser. Remove and replace the sensor or switch that operates the water dispenser. You can check with a meter first to be sure, or it may just be “stick” shut (or closed) and needs replaced. Here is your GE PFE29 refrigerator parts list with schematics and diagrams.
-RR
Jon,
A new refrigerator will always make popping and strange noises as it is working properly. It needs to as they say “break in”.
-RR
My NEW Maytag side by side refrigerator makes moaning and popping noises. The noises seem to be emanating from the top rear of the freezer and from the small filter housing in the top left of the fridge?
I have a GE PFE29PSDCSS refrigerator and the water dispenser sticks and won’t shut off when I release it.
I have a Zanussi ZCM1080X Cooker the grill element is not working in large oven, took out the element and tried it on the other side and is working would it be the thermostat or the switch which is not working or would it be something else?
Ariston Margherita AIB 16. Not working due to no power except the indicator and door lock clicks.
I have a GE Fridge, GSH22JSXA SS model and its not cooling and compressor making click noise. It looks compressor relay and overload PTCR relay need to be change. Any idea? please.
Water softener salty to taste. Installed couple years ago. Issue?
Dan,
Installing a new compressor might be your best option. If the tech said BAD COMPRESSOR, then trust them and have it done. The ice maker is probably not making ice as the temp is too high in the freezer portion. You may need to reset the ice maker. Unplug from wire harness and back in with power off. Be sure connection is secure. What else did the tech check? Just the compressor? Did the tech check the evap fan or thermistor? See our page here about freezer is working but refrigerator is warm.
-RR
Fans are running non-stop along with compressor. Don’t think it is cycling due to temp never being achieved. I had a technician look at it. Compressor supposed to be drawing 1.4 Amps, only drawing .7 Amps. Says I need a new compressor. Although, I wasn’t real impressed with how little troubleshooting was performed. This is an expensive built-in model KSSP42QJS00 whose equivalent replacement is over $9000. Not sure I want to spend that kind of money, but also concerned about dropping $330 (compressor only – not labor) on a new compressor with only a 3 month warranty. Decided to turn off the ice maker. It was still making ice. However, when I turned it back on again, it failed to make new ice. Seems odd since it was making ice even though the fridge wasn’t cooling as well.
Dan,
There may be some sort of blockage in the lines. Have you tested to see if the compressor is operating properly? It may need more coolant but many times on an older fridge such as yours it makes more financial sense to replace the complete fridge. Usually installing a new compressor is around $300 to $450 depending on what the service call and compressor cost. Have you checked the fans, temp controller?
-RR
I have a 15 yr old KitchenAid side-by-side fridge with top-mounted compressor and condenser coil. It has slowly been losing its cooling capability over the past couple of months. It runs constantly. Compressor is hot to touch as always, but condenser is at room temp. Fans running. Manually turning defrost timer turns off compressor and fans and heater melts evap. Evap coil is clean, barely a layer of frost during cooling, but even across the entire evap. I’m guessing it may be low on freon, or that there may be a clogged filter drier, but both sides of the dryer are at room temp. I can’t think of any reason why the condenser would be at room temp. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Mike,
If the water keeps filling and does not stop where it should, then yes you have a water level pressure switch issue. If you blew through the tube and the tube was clean and free of clogs, then the actual water level pressure switch is most likely the bad part causing your issue. The lid switch has nothing to do with water level. If the lid switch was bad the washer would fill, stop filling, agitate, but would not spin. Here is a list of Kenmore water level pressure switches that should be for your washer. You can type your exact model number in to find the exact pressure switch needed for your washer. FYI, Whirlpool makes replacement parts for Kenmore…
-RR
I have the 80 series Kenmore washer. Worked fine yesterday large load. Today large load (sheets) water filled for large load & stopped. It did not agitate or work on any other cycle. I tried to rinse, no rinse. I opened the control panel, removed the pressure switch clear hose. Blew into the switch & it clicked. I blew into the hose & could hear the air/water mixture. I emptied the water by hand & refilled with the selector on small load & the water never stopped. It kept filling past the small load level. Could it be the pressure switch, motor coupler. The lid switch would not be a factor?
Karl,
What brand and model number is your ceiling fan? Hunter? Hampton Bay?
-RR
Where can I find replacement glass for a ceiling fan? The glass is about 7″ diameter and it has a 3 way lock system insert and turn.
Mike Young,
Check to be sure the start relay/cap is good on the compressor. If bad, the compressor has no way to start and fridge freezer will be warm.
-RR
We have an Amana Tn22aw refrigerator and it seems to be blowing warm air.
Bruce,
Your element heating issue is a bad thermostat. The thermostat controls the heat level and balance. Replace the thermostat for the element that is heating incorrectly and that should fix your problem.
-RR
We have a Kenmore glass top stove. One of the elements does not work properly as in it does not always turn off or if we lower the dial to low or medium it stays on high. I have taken the knob off so as to not use it but would like to fix it would it more likely be the knob or the element? Model #790.94332700. Thanks, I am not exactly an electrical Guru!
Liz,
You may have a control board issue or a door latch assembly switch issue. If you unplug the washer it should reset and let you open the door. What is the model number of your Maytag front load washer?
-RR
P Tamnoli,
You can research and see if replacing parts of the ice maker is cheaper than the complete ice maker, but we have seen that usually it is best to replace the complete ice maker as it contains everything needed if there is a fault. If you have a meter then you can test each component to find out which is causing your issue. We had the same issue with our GE ice maker and GE just sent us a new complete ice maker assembly, was under warranty.
-RR
Siya,
Have you checked to be sure the washer is receiving the correct power? Tripped circuit breaker or possible bad connection behind the washer? Make sure the problem is not the washer itself before replacing any parts.
-RR
Andy,
Have you completely removed the ice maker assembly? You may need to have a look at every component. If you have the lines clear, the water valve is calling for water, but the ice maker is not receiving it, then the issue is most likely at the ice maker.
-RR
I have a Frigidaire refrigerator that won’t make ice, I replace the fill valve in back, I can hear the maker calling for water but it doesn’t get it. I checked the lines and there all clear, I can start the makers rotation it seems to go through the process alright but still no water. Any suggestions?
I have a Samsung front loader wf1702weu. The washing machine was working just fine and then when i tried to do the laundry one night it didn’t power on, so i asked someone to check it and they told me the main board had burnt so i bought a new one, but still there was no change it still doesn’t power on/turn on at all so what should i do?
I have a Samsung RFG298AA refrigerator. I can’t get the upper ice maker to work. I have defrosted it and when i press the reset button, the water runs down, the rotors turn and the arm comes down but then the arm stays up and won’t come down to start the ice making. Any suggestions to fix it without replacing the whole ice maker.
I have a Maytag front loading washer. First it wouldn’t spin it stopped at 35min at a 57min cycle. I thought that I had too many clothes inside so I took half out, still didn’t work. So I took everything out and started removing the water that was left in machine about 2 or 3 cups worth. Then put some clothes back inside the washer and to my amazement it started working. When it reached the spin cycle it stopped again it had only 12min left but this time it also locked me out. I can’t open door. I’ve tried resetting it but as you well know without opening and closing the lid resetting won’t work.
Tracey,
It is best to have the EXACT part to replace. Did you order the part online? Did the heating element for your GE oven say it was compatible with your exact oven? Can you tell us which element you replaced? The baking or broil element? What is the part number of the element you purchased? We can check to see if it is the correct element for your oven. Let us know where you purchased and what the part number is. Also who the manufacturer of the part is. We can assist from there.
-RR
My GE Oven JBS26. The heating element was a slide in. I’ve ordered the part that is supposed to be the correct part. It however screws in. The original slide in has a square hole. Can I just screw the new element to the top of the old wiring?
Lori Navarre,
The rubber backing of the rug that ripped apart is jamming the inside of your drain pump. You cleaned the drain hose, now you have to do the same to the drain pump. Once that is cleaned out the door issue will most likely go away. Here is a video to show you how to access a top load Whirlpool washer drain pump.
-RR
Thomas,
Your problem is most likely a frozen drain tube in the freezer. Here is a page to assist you in Refrigerator Frozen Freezer Drain Leaking.
-RR
Have a GE refrigerator Model# TX21JISNRAD, S/N RH517842 Leaking & filling up the bottom of the frig. Then running onto the floor.
I made the mistake of washing a rug with rubber backing on it. The rubber disintegrated in the washing machine. Its fairly new, its a 2014 Whirlpool top loading washer. Now it will not spin or drain. I took the drain hose off & cleaned it out, as well as the outlet it attaches to. It still will not drain or spin, plus the red locked light does not come on after I have closed the lid to start a load. Please help?!
Bushra,
If you are unable to find the exact match, fill it with anything like wax or wood filler. Wax is not paintable so wood filler is the best bet to hide deep burns. Then use a close enough color and touch up with a very small paintbrush. Ask a professional paint person at your nearest home improvement store. Take a picture of the damage and bring it with you. They will have other products to fix your issue.
-RR
Jon Palmer,
Try testing the thermal fuse at the back of your dryer. If it won’t heat this is the MOST LIKELY reason.
-RR
I have a Samsung front load dryer not heating up. I have tested thermostat, coil etc by web sites I have found and everything test ok. Any ideas?
Thank you for quick reply. I think this counter top is laminate paper kind of. Sorry I’m not sure but it came out of about 2″ inch when burned. Searched a lot for same color to patch but couldn’t find it anywhere so I guess I have to fill it up with just wax….Please reply
Bushra,
Is your kitchen laminate painted over with a granite paint all-in-one kit? If so, buy the same kit, fill in burn marks with a wood filler, then wait for filler to dry and then repaint counter top with the granite paint.
-RR
I have burned my granite kitchen laminate platform of about 2 inches wide. I am very tense as I have asked a repair company and it will cost around 200£. Did lot of net research and found wax filling is best for this kind of jobs but my laminate burn is a bit bigger then what they were showing. So very nervous don’t know what to do. Please advise me. I need to fix it within two days.
Scott,
You may have an issue with the defrost system. If it thaws and freezes by itself continually, look into replacing the defrost components or the control board.
-RR
Hi I have a Danby mini freezer DUF408WE that thaws and refreezes. I also hear a loud pop when it kicks on or off, I haven’t investigated to see which. I am pretty handy if I know which part to replace. Thanks in advance – Scott

Mike,
Samsung error code PE – Position of the clutch can’t be found. (The clutch is mounted to the frame of the washing machine which can move freely with the inner wash tub)
The control board is not detecting that the clutch motor is working correctly.
If you have replaced the clutch motor, the problem is most likely in the wiring. You will need multimeter to check ohms and continuity.
Have you rechecked all wiring harnesses? Is it possible a connection on the board is not secure? Have you examined the board?
-RR
I have a Samsung top load washer, model WA5471ABP XAA, started getting PE error code, this was intermittent, could turn off and washer was fine. Now will not spin, manual says drive motor, checked wiring and replaced motor, no help, the stator and clutch assembly look great, no wear on the gears, have also replaced the motor position sensor, no help. Any ideas would be great.
Robert Choat,

I have an older G.E. refrigerator model #TBX25RNR with ice dispenser and I am getting a small amount of water on the floor at the right front. please help and Thanks.
Sarah,
Check for any loose wire harnesses that go to the control board. If all is secure, then you may need to do some troubleshooting to see if you need to replace the main control board. Do you have a multimeter?
-RR
My front loading washer only runs the short cycle. It fills with water, spins a little, then stops and the door unlatches and the cycle goes back to the original start time and I have to manually turn the knob to drain. model # 41744092500 I already replaced the door lock assembly and that didn’t fix the problem. User manual said that the lock could be failing but it locks.

I have a whirlpool washer that will not spin or drain what might be the causes
Kaylee,
It sounds like it is financially reasonable to repair depending on labor and where you buy parts. It sounds as if the balance centering springs have fallen off. If the tub wobbles like crazy then you need to do a visual check under the tub to see if the springs or other centering parts have fallen off. Front load washers have straps that should be holding the tub centered. See if one has broken or come loose. If you fix the balance centering issue, then you can buy a new gasket. Check on SearsPartsDirect to find the best prices for washer parts. We make no commission off of them, they are just a great resource for parts. Let us know what you do to fix your washer. Would be interested to see what you find.
-RR
I would like to know if I really need to replace my washer, or a repair is feasible at all.
The washer is a Kenmore, front load style, from 2003.
The symptoms:
It made a loud bang sound at the beginning the cycle, but went on to wash cycle as usual. No leakage.
But then, it started to make a lot of unbearably loud, thumping noise trying to reach the spin. The washer shook so much it actually “walked” a couple of inches as well.
It seems like the tub suspension is broken. The gasket looked it is twisted counterclockwise.
I would like to know if it needs to be replaced, or a repair is feasible at all.
Courtney,
Is it possible your battery is dead and the end of the electrical plug that connects to your Apple laptop is bent and not supplying the laptop with power? Do you see the small plug symbol at the bottom of the screen? If the hard drive is bad, you can run a diagnostic CD to diagnose your laptop. Do you have a CD drive?
-RR
Anita,
Lid switch or door switch wiring is most likely always “closed” meaning it is always getting power. This leads the washer to believe the door is always closed.
OR
It may be the control panel/timer. It may be stuck and has a burnt spot and needs replaced. You will need a multimeter to test the components to see which one you will need to remove and replace.
-RR
RR,
It was a bad control board. Once it was replaced it fixed all of the problems. Thanks for the help.
GE profile washer model ptan9150mww (2 years old) constantly spinning will not turn off when try to press start/reset and have to unplug it. It went for hours last night as I put a load in and went to bed not realizing it was doing this. I have unplugged then tried to start again just goes right back to spinning and no wash cycle or water starts. I had one successful load before this happened. Any advice?
I have a apple laptop computer and it only turns on to where you put your password and then it turns off, when I first bought it they told me to fix.the harddrive I don’t want to waste time and money to figure the problem out forsure before I spend money on the harddrive when it could be something else wrong. Can you think of more stuff that could be wrong with the laptop before spending time or cash
Dale,
Make sure where power comes in there is no wiring issues. How old is your Kenmore fridge? Does the evaporator fan work? Lights on in fridge? Have you made sure the fridge is getting the correct power? Does the compressor have another type of starter like a capacitor or similar besides the small relay? Is there any type of buzzing noise? Have you checked control board? Any burns or popped caps?
-RR
I have a Kenmore Refrigerator, model 106.53564201 that won’t cool. The condenser fan and the compressor are not working. I tested the compressor and I’m getting ohms reading on all 3 prongs. I replaced the starter relay on the compressor and plugged in the new condenser fan, but it still doesn’t work.
Blair,
Here is our suggestions to your questions:
1. If sensor is touching metal, yes it can get wrong reading. It should be free of touching anything this way it can have an accurate reading of AIR in oven.
2. You can cut the wires and splice, BUT! do not splice in oven portion where there is heat. Splice behind oven where there is no heat. Read what manufacturer says about splicing first…
3. NO, would recommend if you have done ALL troubleshooting and the sensor is the last thing that can be causing your issue, just replace it.
-RR
I have a Dacor wall oven model PCS130B – seemed like food took longer to cook than called for – turns out the actual temperature in the oven is lower than what the reading on the oven display say it is (according to oven thermometer purchased to verify this). I believe the temperature sensor is likely the culprit here, but have a couple of questions:
1) if the temperature sensor is touching the metal frames that hold the oven racks up, could that lead to the incorrect reading?
2) if looking to replace the sensor, is it OK to cut the lead wires and remove it, and splice in the new part? (vs removing the entire oven from the wall in order to replace the sensor and wires completely)
3) would you recommend cutting wires and removing the sensor and testing with a multimeter prior to doing any of the above?
thanks!
Blair
Kyndra,
If the thermal fuse, heating element, HL thermostat, and thermistor are ALL IN WORKING ORDER on your Samsung dryer, have you checked control panel to see if there was a short or a loose wire? If all main components that run and heat your dryer are working (checked using a multimeter?) then check wiring to everything. You may also have some sort of blockage in vent tube, wall, or where exhaust air exits home.
-RR
I have a Samsung dryer model # DV3C6BEWXAA that runs but will not heat. At first it would not run so I checked the thermal fuse and replaced it. I turned it on and it was running. I put a load of clothes in it only to discover 40 minutes later that the dryer was not heating. I checked the vent, the heating element, the high limit thermostat, and the thermistor. The thermistor was reading bad so I replaced it. Still no heat. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

A Phillips screwdriver will not remove the star headed screws. You will need to go to your local home improvement store and buy the bit for your cordless drill or buy a set of special screwdrivers. Is it a six point star pattern or is it a hexagon shape? This bolt and screw identification page may help you to determine which it is.
-RR
Thanks rr will do. But I have a strange star shaped Phillips head like, Allen head like screw to remove before I can look inside. Will a Phillips head screw driver do or is there some special tool only 100 dollar an hour technicians have????
Rob,
When the machine was tangled with the sheet and “walked”, a part inside your washer may have loosened or an electrical connection may have come loose. Trace the wires from the control board down to the components. If the washer cuts out after a few seconds then it is most likely an electrical issue.
-RR
Travis,
This sounds as if the main control board needs replaced. You may also want to trace the wiring within the fridge to be sure the wire harnesses are connected and secure.
-RR
Winston,
You need to access the front panel to attach the wires from the new door switch? Then we assume you know how to or already have installed the new door switch. To remove the front panel on a front load Kenmore HE3, watch this video that describes and shows you how to disassemble.

I have a front loading Kenmore HE3T washer, model # 11042936200. The door switch pin broke off and I want to replace it. How do I remove the front panel to access it?
The temperature controls for my Maytag fridge (Model # MBR2262KES) are non responsive. Unable to adjust temperature. Nothing works for the control board. (Freezer + refrigerator + speed ice, vacation mode, temp alarm, door alarm, or max cool) The display shows 0 for the freezer and 40 for the fridge part. The display temp does increase if doors are left open. Fridge is freezing vegetables. I’ve unplugged the control board in the past and it fixed this problem but for only about 3 weeks. Unplugging does not work anymore.
I have a Siemens front loader washing machine model number E 08-05 / 800 rpm. The load became tangled in fitted sheet causing the machine to walk about a meter. Since then it starts but cuts out after 3-5 seconds. Tried master reset, alas not so simple. Thinking from reading above it might be a belt off. Any help would be appreciated.

The condenser coils cooling fan continues to run all the time. Can you help me with what could be causing this please.
Problem solved. After trying to figure out my husband’s air compressor with no luck…I spotted our leaf blower. Voila! I blew that cap right out of the tube. I had a service guy scheduled for today. He was going to charge $65 if it got it and nothing if he didn’t. Guess I saved some money today. Thank you for bearing with me on theses crazy suggestions.
Debbi,
It would involve removing the top of the washer if applicable. Very time consuming and hard to reach still. If you have an air compressor, they make a fitting on the end to suck air instead of blow. This will add more suction power than using a normal vacuum cleaner. You could either try that or remove top of washer.
-RR
Can not find a way to do that from behind the dispenser drawer. I’m sure there is some way to do it for someone that knows how to take apart a washer.
Debbi,
Can you disconnect the tube and remove it that way?
-RR
I appreciate the help. I should have said I already tried pliers and wire to see if I could reach it. I even tried a vacuum hose to see if the suction would pull it out. It must be just far enough in, I can’t reach it.
Debbi,
Pull the complete dispenser tray out of your washer. Then use a pencil or similar to get it out. If that does not work you can also try an extra long needle nose pliers like this.
-RR
A soap cap went down the soap dispenser tube on a LG front load washer. It doesn’t seem to have gone far, it rattles in the spin cycle. Is there a way to get it out?
Jacob,
HE = Water heating error detected
You need to check both the water heater or element and thermistor.
The washing machine is reporting a fault on the heating circuit with this fault code but it is not capable of identifying exactly where the fault is.
This error can be released by turning off power switch.
HE1 = Over Heat
HE2 = Heating element not operating
-Check thermistor or temperature sensor
-Check the thermistor resistance
-Check wiring to water heating element
-Check water heating element
-Check heater for contunuity
-Check connections to water heating element and temperature sensor

I have a problem with my washing machine. Samsung model WF7600NAW-XEP. The problem is when I put the machine for wash the machine locks the door. After a few seconds it starts beeping and showing in the small display the error hE and don’t started. Please can you advice me what can be the problem, and what I can do.
Seetal,
Does the compressor run? Did you replace the fan and motor assembly? Is the freezer at all cool or warm?
-RR
Charlie,
Have a look at the lid switch. If not could be a control dial issue.
-RR
Kenmore 70 series washer model 110 type 111 it will fill up with water and when it supposed to start washing it just makes a buzzing noise. I have played around with the settings and could get it to drain and spin but will not agitate. Any help would be greatly appreciated
I have an Electrolux freezer E32AF75JPS1 that just went out of warranty and of course stopped working. I pulled it out and noticed the Compressor fan is not working. I replaced the fan, but still not working. There is power going to the fan, but it still does not run. Could this be a thermistor or motherboard problem? Thanks for any advice.
Mike,
Where did you purchase the timer switch? New or refurbished? What was the issue with the timer before you replaced it?
-RR
Frigidare galaxy top loader washer, replaced timer switch. And knob along w/tub gasket/seal & sealing ring.. no leaks, but when turned on, it fills with water, goes to level, mach starts to agitate and rotate, but the timer switch is not moving through it’s cycle and to the next cycle??? I have to move the timer dial, 1 click at a time until it finishes that cycle.. actually have to do it manually??? All cycles work, fill, wash, rinse & power spin. Tub not leaking now, but timer switch is not working.. you have to manually move dial through wash, rinse, power, spin. Did the master reset as suggested, still does not auto go through timed cycles.
CLIFTON,
What exactly is wrong with your Maytag fridge? Please explain in detail with model number.
-RR
My Maytag refrigerator was in storage for two months and when I took it home it wont get cold,what should I do
Michelle,
Sounds like you have an intermittent heating issue. Possibly timer, board, or internal electrical component. Call the company back and they should not charge or charge a small amount. Tell them the dryer was not diagnosed correctly.
-RR
I have a bottom load electric Kenmore dryer. Drum was spinning, but not heating. I had my dryer vent cleaned out. Got new vent hose, checked the breakers – it was fine, Still not heating
Had a repair man come here. He plugged it, diagnosed it, and it was heating, he didn’t do anything to it, but it heated again. He left, I turned it off, and it was hotter than usual. I turned it off.
This morning I tried to use the dryer, it won’t heat again. Please advice. Thanks.
Our G.E. refrigerator model #TFX20SABE WW was bought bran new in 1999. I do not have the serial number handy with me right now but I could get it later . As mentioned before the fridge and freezer sections are working but not cooling well enough. It should be noted that we notced this problem for the first time last week this summer. Prior to that we never had this problem. When I moved the fridge from the area in the kitchen between the kitchen counter top area and the wall in the corner I noticed that the compressor section was quite hot then I immediately measured 0.5 Amps in each wire coming out of the compressor. Then ten minutes later I measured 1.5 Amps out each wire and the freezer and fridge sections began to get very cold.
Jim,
How old is the fridge? Do you have a serial number? The fridge and freezer ARE cooling but not great right?
-RR
We have a G.E. refrigerator model #TFX20SABE WW and for the last week we noticed that the fridge and freezer sections are not cooling as they used to do before. Then we replaced the defrost control a couple of days ago thinking that the timer was too slow. Later we discovered as per the techncal spec list that the defrost control is supposed to be a 16 hour @ 35 minute timer. So then there was no need for the initial timer to be replaced since it was working properly. I noticed that the compressor, the compressor fan and the freezer vent motor are working properly under the defrost timer’s compressor cycle. Aso, under the defrost time’rs defrost cycle the heater is working properly. There is no ice build up. We would like some one to give us some advice on what to do next. Thank you for your help.
Hi, we have a sharp SJK40ME a refrigerator got down from Japan, all instructions in Japanese. Accidentally, its door left open for about 48 hours last week, only in the next day we noticed.Just immediately after noticing, shut the door and switched on, its being 4 days now, cool is not there, only a slight cooling is there, shall we also practice the same method, switching off for 24 hours? much appreciate your advice please thank you
We have a frigidaire front loading washer. The buttons all flash and beep non stop and washer will not function. To “fix” husband removed lid then put blow dryer up to ??control box?? And run it on low heat for 5 mins then unplug and plug back in and washer resets and I can run a load but it has to be done each and every time. We have 3 boys and another one due in a few weeks-lots of laundry not much time—or money for that matter. Can you tell me the part we possibly need to replace? Thanks!
GE refrig water valve WR57X10070 was replaced and I believe the wiring connectors are mixed up. Can you tell me which connector should be plugged to which terminal?
HI, I have an older Kenmore 110 it works great but when it comes to spinning now this is the problem it was working fine but then I noticed that it stopped spinning after it drained the water. If I stopped the cycle and then would start it again it spins fine then. It sometimes but seldom now will spin ok. I usually just wait until I hear it draining and when its drained out the water stop the cycle then start it and it will then start spinning fine, Any idea what this could be? I am on disability and just cannot afford a large repair bill and certainly can’t afford a new washer I had bought some used ones in the past and that seemed like buying someone else’s problems LOL Please help if you can.
Thanks so much, Dennis
M Spence,
You only have one water valve on the wall? Or are you saying the Samsung washer only has one water connection? We believe that washer needs 2 water hookups or else it will have an issue filling. If you are only using cold water going to the cold water inlet valve, then try running the washer in COLD wash mode ONLY. If you have the opportunity, hook up hot and cold to the washer.
-RR
I have an old front loading Samsung 7kg j843 washer that had been in storage for approx. 18mths. Upon reinstalling it (it only has one water pipe that I connected to the cold water tap), in a new laundry and using for first time since, it begins filling for about 20-30seconds and stops. I can recycle the power and press the Start/Pause button a couple of times to restart the full process again, but again, only for a similar brief time before dormancy. Please help, thank you.
Yes it trips straight away. I’ve tried to turn off the ice maker but am not convinced it is. I can hear the solenoid for the water inlet clicking briefly before the circuit trips. I will carefully have a look in the back for anything.
Simon,
Does your refrigerator trip the circuit breaker the second you plug it in? The ice maker should not be tripping the breaker unless maybe it is turned on but no water is connected. Make sure the ice maker is OFF.
You may also have something in the back of the fridge laying on a relay or cap and this is shorting it out. Be careful when troubleshooting electrical system on appliances as shock can occur.
-RR
When switching our Maytag side by side refrigerator model no: GS2727EAD1 back on after not being used for 1 year & it keeps tripping the circuit breaker….. does the water for the ice maker need to be connected? Could this be why it is tripping as it is not connected back up to water? Or is something else wrong?
Louis,
If the lid lock is continuously blinking, then yes, the control board is most likely the fault. In your previous comment it seemed you were having multiple issues with water fill. Change control panel if you have exhausted every other troubleshooting method. They are not cheap.
-RR
Thanks for the feedback, did not check the water sensor. I read the diagnostics and it states to change the main control board if the lid lock still does not work after it has been checked/changed. Where would the water sensor be? Would a faulty water sensor make the lid lock light continuously blink? Thanks for the help.
Louis,
Have you checked the water sensor? It may be faulty therefore the water will either fill too much or not at all.
-RR
Had a problem with my Sears He washer 11026002010. It stopped at the spin cycle and the lid lock light started to blink. Replaced the lid lock switch, and did a master reset, problem now worse. After starting in sensing cycle lid lick light starts to blink and nothing happens. After about 5 minutes lid lock unlocks and machine starts to fill up with water’ without sensing, too much water. Have to shut it down unplug and restart in drain/spin which it does until the end of that cycle when the lid lock light starts to blink again. Have to shut the power, unplug to open machine. Towels were spun and no water was in machine. Can someone tell me what is going on with this washer, only 4 years old.
Clayton,
Evaporator coils that ice up on your fridge means that you are having a defrost issue. This could mean that the Defrost Timer, Defrost Heater, or Defrost Thermostat is bad. Most newer refrigerators have a control board that control this. Not knowing your model number, you may either have to check the 3 defrost parts above or replace control board. A bad door gasket can also cause this issue.
-RR
I have a whirlpool fridge/freezer. A few weeks ago it started making a moaning sound while running (This fridge is about 4 yrs. old). It only stops about 2 minutes after the compressor stops but continues after the compressor starts up again. Last night I had a look inside the fridge compartment and saw that a small section underneath the evaporator started icing up. Can you tell me what the problem could be and supply me with a possible solution please?
Mani,
When a front load washing machine will not spin or drain, it may be caused by a faulty door latch. There could also be a balance sensor issue. Have you tried running a wash cycle with the washer completely empty? Have you tried changing wash settings by varying them from your normal procedure? Do you have the model number?
-RR
Whirlpool washing machine 5kg front load. Problem is not draining and spinning.
Roshan,
First be sure you are not overloading the washer with too much clothing or blankets. Check the bottom of the washer by removing power, remove service panel and see if you can see if there are any parts on the ground that may have fallen off. Some models of these washers have tension springs that hold the tub steady and if one has fallen off then this could be the cause of your problem.
-RR
Hi.
I have a 13 kg top loader washing machine
Model number WA13G7Q1 samsung
And the drum is knocking very hard against the side of washing machine
Think drum is loose Wht can be the problem
Also spreading clothes not evenly in machine
Pls advise
Laurie,
You should be able to access the wiring from inside the freezer door. The screws will either be visible or under plastic plugs. Some dispensers can be accessed from the outside by removing a small plastic panel that will reveal screws. This is usually located in between the ice and water dispenser but may vary on some models.
-RR
Gerrit,
Remove power from the washer then wait 1 minute. Switch washing machine back on again and start a new wash. If your washer still does not work properly, you may need to replace the water level sensor.
-RR
I have a samsung toploader and when I want to start it show me an error code 1E. What do I need to do to repair it
I have a GE Fridge, Model# PFE29PSDCSS. The light that is located on the outside door near the water/ice dispenser has a loose connection. When ice comes out it blinks on/off as the ice falls, so we do know it works. How can I just open the front panel to tighten the connection? Thank you in advance for your help ;-)
AKIRA,
Can you provide model number of your Samsung washer? Are you possibly overfilling the washer with too many blankets or towels? Try running the washer empty to see if the error is really an error.
-RR
Eriq,
Check the lid switch for continuity with a multimeter. Most likely the lid switch is causing your issue. If lid switch checks out ok, then next check to be sure drain pump is not jammed or clogged.
-RR
Hello I have problem wit my whirlpool top loading washer machine model#wtw4850xq1 it won’t drain or spin but everything else works
I have a Samsung Wobble Washing Machine and it is displaying a OE error which says overfill error when I Google it.
Does anybody here know how can I fix it or do I need to pack it back to the Service Center?
Jake,
Yes you may have shorted a switch or circuit, are you able to test the parts individually to see if they are working properly?
-RR
I’m worried I somehow blew a circuit by having the fridge plugged in when I reconnected the switch wires. Is that possible? The part I glued isn’t the problem.
Jakey,
Something is most likely not lined up or was glued in the wrong spot. Best advice here is to buy the part that was broken. Check Whirlpool or Appliance Parts Pros website for replacement parts.
-RR
Hi, I have a whirlpool ID2GFGXRS00 side by side fridge. The ice flap stopped closing all the way so I unplugged it and took the front panel off. I unplugged the switch panel wires and moved it. I saw the slot for the spring pin on the right side was broken off and the magnet arm thing had come out of the delay housing. I superglued a plastic peice in there that would be a cradle to hold the end of the pin and stuck the magnet back in the delay round housing thing. After sitting for 24 hours I just put everything back together. The fridge was plugged in when I reconnected the wires. Now the light will come on, the water will dispense, but when I depress the ice arm, nothing happens. No movement, no sound, no ice, no nothing. The flap opens fine now although the delay thing doesn’t really seem to work. But if I press down on the arm, the flap opens, but the ice auger doesn’t move. What did I do wrong?
UPDATE: When unscrewed and lifted up the control panel, I found that the hose had somehow disconnected from the water level switch input nipple. I know that it was on securely the last time I had opened the washer to replace the water intake valves a while ago, so perhaps vibration worked it loose. I will be putting on a clamp to ensure that it does not disconnect again. I blew through it with ease, so there was nothing blocking the hose. Probably don’t need to ask this, but do you think the disconnected hose would have been the reason the washer overfilled? (duh!) Thanks again for all your great insight. Your website and this service is FANTASTIC!
Thanks, again, RR. I found a YouTube video that explained how to see if there was some debris in either the bell housing at the tub bottom where the hose leading to the water level switch connects, and they said to blow through the hose from the top to release what may be blocking it, as that will most certainly keep the sensor from working properly and stop filling the machine. Is it possible for any possible blockage to clear itself? The reason I ask is that yesterday I ran three cycles without the problem happening again, and I’ve done nothing to clear any blockage. The video indicated it could have been dried soap from prior suds-lock, and we have had some suds-lock in the past. Before I take the washer apart and try to blow out any blockage debris, it would be helpful to know if a suds-lock debris blockage can clear itself.
Steven,
Yes inside. Find a schematic or parts breakdown image by searching Google images with your Brand and Model number washer. A parts breakdown image will show you where the water level control switch and hose are located. Search YouTube also as most likely you can find someone showing you exactly where the parts in your washer are. Let us know how things go as we can assist further if needed.
-RR
If I understand your clarification, it’s inside the machine, not external to it, correct?
Steven,
The small hose is the one that attaches to the pressure switch aka: water level control switch. If it is blocked or clogged it will not stop filling with water. Also check the switch itself to be sure it is not clogged.
-RR
Thanks for the quick reply, RR. By checking the “small hose” are you referring to the one that connects to the washer from the water source? Or is there something inside the unit that needs to be inspected? I ran something through a low level cycle today and it operated perfectly, not filling again during agitation. Very strange…
Steven,
Yes it may indeed be the controls (dial) is telling the machine to keep filling. Usually when this type of washer keeps filling with water, it is the pressure (water level) switch or the hose that is attached to it is clogged. Even though what you have described may rule this out, check it anyway before buying the expensive control dial. Make sure the small hose is not clogged or blocked. Let us know what you find as this can be one of 3 different issues with water that keeps filling.
-RR
I have an older model Kenmore Washer, Model 100. 92282800. The problem is that it won’t stop filling with water. This just started happening today. I did the diagnostic test of unplugging it while it was filling, and it stopped filling. This indicates that it is not the inlet valve but is the water level switch. However, it fills properly on our multi-level setting washer and then begins to agitate, but after between 30 seconds and three minutes (I’ve timed it over several cycles), it will begin to fill again and won’t stop. I have to manually switch it to a setting to empty the drum and spin dry. If I try to simply move it to the rinse cycle, it keeps filling. If I move it back to the wash cycle, it keeps filling. Once it spins dry and empties the water from the drum, I can again run a wash cycle to get it to agitate, but the same pattern of filling again happens. Any idea on what’s going on? Perhaps it needs a new main control dial.
Len,
Most of the control boards are held together with special screws. Should be a fairly easy task with the correct type of screwdriver.
-RR
RR,
Thanks, yes, the touch pad panel is ~$329 + ~$240 for the control board. I have taken the panel off the oven, but not separated it from the touch panel, so can’t say anything about burn marks. I’m ready to separate the control board, but I’m a novice handyman and not sure of the involvement. Is this a fairly simple procedure? Thanks again, Len
Len,
If it is an issue with the control pad not turning the oven off, usually replacing just the touch pad won’t fix the issue. Probably best to replace the complete assembly. This can be a very expensive part. Have you taken the complete control assembly out and inspected it for damage or burn marks? You may be able to find the fault and get just the part you need instead of replacing the complete assembly. It will just come down to if it is possible to purchase parts or if you are forced to purchase the complete control panel assy.
-RR
RR,
Thanks for the reply! Everything is working fine on the oven. Heats up to set temp, maintains set temp. Clock works, fan works on convection, ect. Just when we want to turn off the oven, the clear/off touch pad is not shutting off the oven or not working. I tried leaving the breaker off over night and then power up the oven….didn’t solve this issue.
-Len
Len,
Is the oven heating up and won’t turn off or just the lighting and touch pads are constantly lit? If the oven is constantly heating and only able to be turned off by the breaker, then most likely the oven thermostat is usually the cause of the problem. The electrical contacts inside the thermostat can weld or melt themselves together thus making the oven not turn off.
-RR
Our GE oven JT910SOA3SS will not turn off. All the touch pads work, except for the clear. To get the oven to off, we need to turn the breaker off. Do I need to replace the Wall Oven Touch Pad and Control Panel Assembly, plus, Control Panel, or just one of them. The oven is 13 years old and the touch pad went out before during warranty. Thanks for all help!
Barry,
That seems to be a hard to find stove. We do not have that user manual in our catalog. If Hotpoint cannot help then these people here can advise on troubleshooting and should have all parts.
-RR
I called two repair men. They told me that its not worth repairing, to just light it manually. No one can explain why burner 1 and 3 on turn off the ignitor and while 1 or 3 is turned off, the ignitor starts again. I can hardly see the wires when I take off the knobs. Cant assess from the top, small holes. Do I need to take the bottom off to get to the wires? Is there a manual to show me how? I will call hotpoint.
Barry,
We would recommend opening the stove top to do a visual inspection to see if any wires have shorted. There may be other parts that could have been affected too. We have seen this happen before and it took a few days (not a complete week as you have described) for the igniters to fully dry out before it would work properly again. If nothing is found that is an obvious issue, we would recommend calling Creda (which is now owned by Hotpoint) and see if they can give you some ideas of what the issue may be.
-RR
Son spilled tea on Creda GGH 180 Stove Top. Unit clicks on 5 burners, have to disconnect power to stop ignitor constant clicking.
I unplugged electrical. Took the knobs off and took a blow dryer to dry all areas, cleaned up any grease. Let sit for 1 week. Plug back in, all ignitors turn on, start clicking. When I turn on Switch burner #1, then Switch burner #3, ignitors stop clicking. Stops when both 1 and 3 burners are on at the same time. Then I turn off burner #1 or turn off burner #3, ignitor starts clicking. Both # 1 and #3 need to be on for clicking to stop on all 5 burners. Switch 1 and 3 are where the tea went, next to each other. Could it still be wet? Spark Ignitor Switches 1 and 3 out, or wire issue? Please advise
Frank,
There may be a reset in your oven or possibly an electrical contactor has fried due to excessive power running through it. Open the back panel again and examine the components. Consult your owners manual to see if there is an overload reset procedure or fuse. If the power cord looks fine and has no burns and tests out with a multimeter, there is no reason to remove and replace. It may also be possible that your oven has a blown fuse for the burners. The lights come on so you know there is probably something going on with the 220v portion and not the 110v.
-RR
Kenmore Electric stove. Was using three burners and oven and all stopped. Light and clock still on. Tried unplug and replug. Tried circuit breaker (ON) and turned off/on. Opened back panel and wires looked OK.
Now nothing on. If turn on a burner indicator light comes on and clock comes on, if turn it off, they go off.
Thinking of replacing power cord as first step?
Thank You very much RR, for your useful information, I will try that!
Thanks again & Happy Holidays!
Luciano
Luciano,
How long have you waited? It could be that the fridge is in a defrost cycle. Usually these cycles can last about half an hour. It does shut off the compressor, it’s fan and the evaporator/freezer fan. Wait some more time as it is probably just this. If however the refrigerator does NOT start running normally soon, check to see if the compressor is warm. Do you hear any noises besides the fan? It could be possible that the part or parts that may have gone bad could be the Compressor Run Capacitor or Relay and Plug Kit. If your refrigerator does start running normally and the rattling sound still happens, it is most likely just the fan possibly hitting the inside of the housing as it turns.
-RR
Hi,
I have a problem with my GE Refrigerator/ Bottom Freezer Model # PDA18LBMBRBS. For a couple of days prior, there was a loud rattling sound coming out of it and read that it was ice build up. I’ve since defrosted it and seemed to be working fine for 2 days until the rattling sound became again. I unplugged it, waited a few minutes and plugged it back in and stopped functioning normally. Now, all I hear is a fanlike sound, the fridge doesn’t cool and the freezer acts like a fridge. Please advise me what the problem might be, I await & appreciate your reply back!
Thanks Sincerely!
