I asked you last week about a Kenmore upright freezer that I determined to have a bad compressor. I got there and the temp in the freezer was 68*. I was told that it stopped freezing a few days ago, ( probably more than that ) and so I checked the evap/fan and it was working fine. So, I pulled it out and checked the compressor and it was so hot, I could barely touch it. I unplugged it for about 15 minutes and put a hard start on it, because the relay was bad. Let it run for about 20 minutes. Both the compressor and hard start were hot.
I was schooled to think that if the compressor is that HOT, and has been running like that for a while; that it’s NO GOOD. The reason is, as I was told, that the high temp breaks down the oils, etc in the compressor.
My customer had another freezer ( chest type ) and it was also NOT freezing. I opened the compressor panel and checked the temperature of the compressor and it was HOTTER than her upright. ( sho has a coffee plus shop ). I told her that both freezers were no good.
Anyways she called her refrigeration service people out. He told her, that the only thing wrong with the chest freezer is that it needs to be defrosted.
QUESTION: was I schooled correctly to think that if the compressor runs that hot for an ” unknown ” period of time that it is NO GOOD?

The fridge temp is to high. I found on the lower left side of the fridge a small block of ice, where the vent should be. I thawed out the ice turned the fridge back on, and felt no air flow ( either wat ).
The top left side vent was blowing cool air. Not a lot of air flow, but I could feel air moving.

Top freezer working fine. Bottom fridge is too warm. Watched your video, took apart top panel, evaporator fan motor not working. dial switch in fridge makes no difference. I tested wires to evaporator motor fan, not getting any voltage to fan motor? The fridge has the dial switch that says “coldest to lowest”. took that panel down, it has the thermostat dial switch, and there is a white square thing with wiring harness connected to it next to the dial switch.
What would be stopping power from reaching the evaporator fan motor? FYI, this all happened after a power pole was hit in neighborhood, causing outage/spike. The condensor and it’s fan is running fine, freezer is working fine. Just not the fridge.

Kenmore dryer will run for approximately five minutes. It then stops and throws a CLL SRU error code. I have researched this to mean “Call for Service”. I have seen others potential causes that range from shorted heating element, to dirty lint screen/venting.

Hello this specific issue is on a Kenmore dryer 796.81172210. The cooling light stays on and there is no heat. I have replaced heater which solved the heat issue but my question is why is the cooling light staying on??

I have experienced this issue many times in Samsung dryer especially once it’s fixed the heaters on and the light stays on after repair Any thought to why this is?

Is there a self diagnostic mode. If so please explaine how to use it.

Hi – I really appreciate your videos.

I have the issue captioned above and it is just like the problem experienced in your video:

I have checked belt slippage/alignment and the belt switch (as was the problem above) and they both appear fine.

Any suggestions on what I should do next? BTW, I don’t have a multimeter so testing and diagnostics are as not easy as they could be.

Model – 253.26082100 Serial – WB63832311

Display in door flashing CE. Disconnected / reconnected wiring harness from control board that goes to display. Did not changed anything . Found upon opening door slowly display would clear out CE and then come back as you moved door.
Suspect wiring harness in door problem. Parts breakdown shows harness in bottom of door, but no part number. Anybody come across this before? Are you able to replace this harness? Thanks in advance

Usually, when I OPEN the fridge door I can hear a fan motor stop. I don’t hear it anymore. Now, frost is building in the freezer and on the evaporator coils (not a lot.) Some water drops collecting on top panel of freezer.
Food items are still frozen, but the fridge is not as cold as it should be. Does the evaporator fan have two speeds? One for constant, low-level cooling and another speed for catch-up cooling?

The issue started with ice buildup on the bottom of the freezer. After watching your videos, I was able to correct this issue and had to unclog/defrost the drain line and replace the evaporator fan motor. During the repair, I’ve noticed that the light in the freezer does not always come on or go off when it should; it flickers intermittently. Also, the alarm continually goes off. I’ve also noticed that when I press upwards on the area where the light switch is in the freezer, the evaporator fan comes on. I believe that this is due to a short, but I am not sure how to access this area of the fridge, as I can see now way to enter into the covering. Please help!

I am trying to release the transmission from the unit to further look at possible tub not spinning problems. I have seen where you have to release the internal screw from at the bottom of the dispenser that helps to hold the transmission shaft. The screw head is stripped; and I am assuming that someone else has been into the unit. Is there a way of getting the screw off; or the plastic agitator shaft completely out of the way so I can continue at removing the transmission/basket drive from the bottom.

Thanks… Fred in Lubbock. TX

My son forgot to put the lint screen back in and a sock is missing from the load he did, would it have gotten sucked into the dryer somewhere? I wasn’t sure where to even look.

I have a friend that is farther than I want to travel. His washer is making noises and sometimes stops mid cycle. I’d like to talk our way on the phone to find the problem.
Will you send me (us) the diagnostic code ? Or better yet, direct me on how to get this very important tool or where to look for it WHEN I need it when trying to troubleshoot ANY appliance that I’m working on?
Thank you

Icemaker on this refrigerator has quit making ice. Is it possible to manually cycle this icemaker to see if it is activating the water valve? The icemaker looks somewhat like an LG icemaker but there is no test button on it. I know that the valve could be bad. Thanks in advance

Kenmore Elite dishwasher made by Whirlpool that will not drain properly every time. Will work 1 or 2 cycles then at the end of the 3rd cycle will leave about an inch of water in bottom of the dishwasher. Everytime I drain the dishwasher through the cancel cycle it does just fine.

Why would it stop at the same point a couple times in a row? I normally go in and open the lid to see it hasn’t finished, and then have to restart it at that point, and it works fine.

the oven comes on, and eventually heats, but seems to constantly re-ignite. the heat element stays on, but the gas flow seems to stop then come back causing a re-ignition of flame. It does longer than it should to reach temp and then has difficulty maintaining.
