Hey, found a great video on YouTube about diagnosing whirlpool top load washers that aren't draining. Looks like it comes from an online appliance repair training program. Pretty good stuff. Appliance Tech Academy . org.

For anyone who is dealing with a whirlpool top load washers, you'll really want to watch out for the lower wire harness. It can cause all kinds of issues.

So I had to turn the breaker off for the refrigerator circuit and after turning back on, the display does not respond to any inputs and the blue light for the freezer temp is blinking. It still dispenses water but the buttons do not work. Temps are ok in both the freezer and refrigerator side. I also hear the compressor running. Any ideas?

My fridge is about 5 years old. My son slammed the door and all the sudden I heard a sound that sounded like a bouncing plastic ball. I thought one was stuck under the fridge. Turns out it's my compressor making the noise. When you shake the fridge it makes this noise. Fridge seems to be working fine. Never noticed it before. And doesn't make the sound with normal every day use with the exception of my son slamming it today.... I have a video but I guess I can't post it here. Any recommendations are appreciated!

I have the 6.7 Cu. Ft. Electric Double Oven Range with True Convection from Whirlpool, about 8 years old now.

The top oven will preheat but doesn't kick back on after food is put back in. It'll look like it's fine on the control panel but you can hear that it doesn't kick back on.

Today's example: Need it at 375°. I know it does this so I set it to 400°. It heats up and beeps, I pop in biscuits. No kick on sound so I turn it off and back on for 375°. It beeps that it's preheated but no kick on. Wait a minute. Turn it off and back on at 375°. It says it's 370°. I wait a minute to see if it'll move up to 375°. It doesn't, again no kick on sound. I follow those exact same instructions 3 more times getting a read of 365°, 360°, and 355°. On the round where it read 355°, it quickly went to 360° and back up to 375° and baked normally after that.

Anyone deal with this and have a fix?

Was using my 25-year old oven when I noticed the broiler heating element was unexpectedly on.

Had to shut the power off to turn the broiler element off last night.

Element wire connections look pretty toasty under the back panel.

Tested element with my multimeter and there is no reactance between either end post of the element. Google says I should be seeing

But I’m concerned it’s the board that has shit the bed, so I’m curious how best to test that? Am I looking for a stuck relay?

I don’t want to buy another element if that’s not the problem. It heats up just fine, but it’s not supposed to!

I know replacement parts are getting hard to find any advice appreciated thanks y’all ⚡️⚡️⚡️

Hi all, so my Beko WME8227W has been spontaneously throwing up different error codes for a while now, skipping washes and often washing for much more or much less time than it’s supposed to, skipping or adding parts to the cycle.

It seems to be an obvious issue with the control board.

I’m not sure of the exact name of the part i need to try to fix it, is it the ‘Main Display PCB Module’?

Thanks for reading!

Was working fine. Put a load in, tried to start it, and heard a loud clang. Now when I try to start it I get nothing. I also left it on normal heat for about 15 minutes and felt no heat inside the drum.

Where should I begin troubleshooting?

Running into issues as I can't find a video of my exact model. Most videos show that I can unplug the old one and plug in the new one. Once I got the ignitor off, there is no plug. Do I have to take the back off to get to the plug or do I have to splice the new one in?

Long shot because this is a 15-year-old washer but it's worked flawlessly until now — model # WFW9250WW00.

I'd love to repair it if it is repairable, since it's 36" tall and we have a built-in counter that of course will not accommodate any new washer, and again, it's been utterly flawless for so long.

We ran a load this morning, and then went to run a second load and it was completely dead. No lights, no control panel, no error message.

We checked the breaker panel, all good, pulled it out and used an outlet tester on the outlet. It is getting power from the wall. We've left it off and unplugged for a bit before plugging it back in, nada. I can't find the service or repair manual anywhere online but I tried to enter diagnostics mode as described in several videos (on newer models) — pressing any 3 buttons 3 times in quick succession — but it did nothing.

It's never acted in the least bit squirrelly and made no noises. Never got jammed or threw any errors.

Is there anything we can check that is within reason?

A fuse or something?

We don't know appliance repair but my husband repairs old computers which involves soldering etc. But not all parts are even available for this unit. If it's gonna be a $300+ control unit plus lots of labor then it's not worth it but considering we have to rip out our folding area to replace it…

Hi - just moved into a new house and having trouble with the LG oven. Will heat but usually stalls out at ~ 370 degrees. Bottom and top coil both read 120 volts, and 17 and 14 ohms, respectively. I've changed the thermostat already and that didn't help. The problem is also somewhat intermittent (oven works perfectly maybe 1 out of 5 tries). Any thoughts?

Bradford White RG1PV40S6N - I had a power outage throughout these bad storms and now my hot water tank does not light itself, I cannot find no reset button it’s flashing 7 times, 3 sec pause and repeat. Any help?? It’s the electric one.

Anyone have any idea what this part might be? It was found in the bottom of a 5 year old Bosch dishwasher. It doesn’t appear to belong to anything washed in the dishwasher.

Thanks!

Had installed a new OEM heating coil a couple months ago. Stopped heating and found this wire detached. Thinking its safe to redo the connection. What do you think? https://share.icloud.com/photos/0fbAs0kLQkJWFwie4VzyAx3yQ

My under counter fridge / freezer stopped cooling yesterday.

I unplugged the appliance and electrics are fine, the compressor is continuously working / making a sound that doesn't click, the thermostat appears to work as does the light when turning the dial up and down, there's no signs of frost or water, the drainage hole is clean, there's no fan, the coils are clean, the doors shut properly so no air is escaping or getting in and there's enough space behind and by the sides of the appliance. I've had the fridge for nearly two years now and never had any issues.

Does anyone know what the cause may be? I have someone coming out next week but it would be good to have a few options to provide them with so they don't spend ages troubleshooting or to see if it's even worth having someone come out as I may just buy a new appliance if so.

Thanks!

Inherited washer from aunt who bought a new house with this appliance but had a brand new washer/dryer she installed instead. I don’t have any idea how old it is but it is a top loader.

I’m going to give you a timeline of problems and what I’ve done in as best order as possible.

-LF code began to come in in certain types of cycles like Bedding then Deep Water Wash. Now it’s spread to all cycles like Normal and Rinse/Spin. - I distribute items evenly within the tank and do NOT overfill - Checked water pressure (all fine) - I can’t check the filter in this model from anything I’ve seen. - Agitates fine - Drains fine - The lid lock seems fine and tested fine - Tried service mode - FO E3 error code - codes 000, 001, 002, 005, 008 all fine - I have NOT used one of those gauges - With all cycles the estimated time sets to 51 minutes (for example) then it changes to 1 hour and 36 minutes after it fills up. It agitates, then the LF code comes out and it drains out - I am about to replace the washer water inlet valve, but I have to order the part first

My question is…before I do that, is there anything else I can try that someone can suggest? Any help is much appreciated.

Thank you.

Took apart the machine and had my screws laid out on the work bench.

My sister came along and threw the screws in with my large collection of spare hardware.

Help a brother out. Looking for the screws for the…

easy fix? Can we still use our dishwasher?

Hello, all.

I was changing my GE Gas Range (#JGBS66REKSS) from natural gas to propane.

I changed out all of the cooktop orifices without any problem, except one. I over torqued it and ended up cracking the orifice holder (as can be seen by the hairline crack in the picture).

Is it necessary to change out the holder, and if so, what’s the best place to find one?

Noticing this sound sporadically when the dishwasher is running, particularly on start up and when it's draining at the end of a cycle, but it's not persistent. Nothing stuck on the bottom that I can see, and the wash arms are spinning freely. I'm assuming this is a bearing in a motor or something, but figured I'd ask here for ideas before calling someone out.

Video for reference: https://imgur.com/a/NvloaYL

Currently have a Maytag MDB8969SDM0 that is continuously running (i.e. all night one day this week) and noticed that the countdown timer was getting stuck at certain increments (did not matter if it was Auto or Quick mode). Diagnostic steps so far:

• Cleaned the filter all out and appeared nothing was clogged etc.
• Ran a diagnostic test (1-2-3, 1-2-3, 1-2-3 any of the buttons). It's throwing F6E4, F5E1, and F6E6 error codes. Looked them up and then read that sometimes the codes can send you a wild goose chase.
• I popped open the whole door to take a look at the control board and sure enough I have some fried connectors, wiring, and where this 4-pin (molex?) connector goes on the board is burnt too: https://imgur.com/a/FsWxDeO
• Note, the last picture with (2) blue wires into the connector is also brittle and started to fall apart so I might need to repair this too

Looking at the spec sheet this appears to control the thermostat + heating element. I'm wondering if the control board was thinking the water wasn't at the right temperature and then forcing it maintain/hold itself in one of the stages which led to continuous runtime?

I'll have to replace the control board, re strip these wires, new metal clamps, and a new 4-pin female molex harness(?).
My question is, what are the metal clamps that the 16-gauge wires are going into and what is the name the 4-pin white molex harness connector component? Does anyone know what the names are so I can order new ones? Do I need a special crimping tool to get the new wires back onto these metal clamps?

I'm fairly confident I can make the repair just not sure it's worth my time.

TIA!

I'm trying to understand my icemaker ( D7824706Q) and hope someone can help me trouble shoot. I replaced this around 4 months ago and it worked well for a couple of months. https://www.reliableparts.ca/product/Ice-Maker-D7824706Q

Now it doesn't work for around 3 weeks, then all of the sudden starts to work.

1. Any ideas?
2. Is the gear supposed to always be turning, or only when it reaches a certain temperature to get the cycle rolling.
3. I've been toying around with the lever a lot as that would be the obvious place to look, but it looks like it isn't the problem. On the external side of the lever, (part visible from door.) I can see that it is engaging the switch properly.

Thank you,

Problem: Detergent not fully dissolving (always residue left in the corner closest to the door, under where the detergent compartment is), dishes barely/not being cleaned. Water is always present down in the sump area. Not sure if this by design or indicates some other problem

Have already tried: -running tap to hot before starting cycle -ensuring nothing is blocking the detergent compartment door, so I know it is being released.

Not sure what part needs replacing or if it makes sense to just get a new one; dishwasher is 5 years old

Picture in comments. Condenser runs, control panels work on both sides of the fridge, thermostats read the correct temperature.

It looks like one of the condenser coolant lines is blocked. Looking for advice before I start attempting to re-solder. Any ideas?

Fridge door hinge bracket is pulling away from the fridge body. The upper bolt can't be tightened anymore - it spins freely and I assume the threads on the fridge body are stripped.

This door has had issues closing since I got this apartment a year ago. I stuck a little chunk of pex pipe under the fridge side hinge to prop it up which worked for a while but it's not cutting it anymore. The door has to be lifted above the sill to form a proper seal.

Any advice? Thank you in advance!
