Brand: Whirlpool

I own a Whirlpool washer that was not running and giving me an error code of “E something”. I unplugged the washer, plugged it back in, worked for a day and did the same thing. I then had a technician out to my home, paid the $70.00 service call, and the technician told me he could not definitively tell me which part was bad. He said the error showed a communication error(?) and it may be my mother board or a motor board or something else(?). Estimate if I needed all parts was almost as much as I spent on the machine. Anyone heard something like this? How can they not know what is wrong with the machine?

Thanks,

I have a whirlpool duet gas dryer that I anticipate is roughly 5 or 6 years old. Yesterday my wife went to do a load of laundry and the user interface (part number 8559431) was showing strange numbers for the time settings and the start button wasn’t working. I unplugged the unit, checked for lint build up, and eventually pulled the control board, cleaned the lint from it, reinstalled it, and the unit fired up and we were back to normal.
Fast forward to this afternoon when the interface went completely blank. Went through the motions again and this time went as far as to pull the interface and clean it up as well. Still cant get it to run but the interface is back to showing the strange numbers like yesterday and now will not shut off.
My gut tells me I have either an issue with the interface or the control board and I have a feeling it may be a interface issue. I should also note that i had minor condensation on the dryer interior which struck me as odd. This is south Louisiana and it has been hot and humid here in August with alot of rain fall.
Any idea what could be causing this issue? Any diagnostic test I can run on a control panel?

Thanks in advance.

The fan in my refrigerator has been making a loud noise, and I’ve noticed some ice build-up near the fan housing. Is this a sign of a faulty heating unit? Can I just clear the ice to solve the problem?

I am getting water to the door of my refrigerator, but not to the ice maker.
