Repair Help

when i try to turn on my washer machine it makes like a humming and grinding noise during the beginning start up. turning the power button off does not actually turn it off so we have to unplug it from the wall. sometimes it washes sometimes it does not. whirlpool.

My vent microwave exhaust fan does not work on the low speed but works fine on the high speed.
I have tried unplugging, waiting and plugging back in with no effect.
All other buttons on the touch pad seem to work just fine.
Any diagnosis tips or is there an obvious solution?

Good morning,

My GE Upright freezer is not freezing. I unplugged it because it felt like a refrigerator and I am not able to find a video on my freezer in your repair videos. I did see one that was similar to my GE that the guy name Ryan was doing with a Kenmore. I have removed the panel and needless to say there is not ice because I unplugged it days ago. Do you have a video for my GE upright or do you think it is the same problem that the Kenmore video showed?

Our dishwasher quit working and is flashing an ER code. How do we diagnose what it needs?

Ge side by side refrigerator replaced defrost termination stat. Ck defrost heater ok . Four days later evaporator coil iced up again . Gss25wg

The entire touch pad works except for Bake, Broil, and convection. All the digits and timers clock keep warm, pizza, the rest of the key pad functions. Tried to reset by unplugging. Didn’t work. Oven comes on by using the pizza function. Top burners work as well. Why only a few not work?

Hi, have a Kenmore 80 series washer. Seemed to be the timer. So, I replaced that. Didn’t fix it. Bypassed the lid switch to see if that was it. It obviously is not the lid switch.
This was my “today’s adventure”.
Washer washes, then stops all function. Waiting to see if it fires up. Waited 18 min, moved the knob past the “blue dots” on the timer thing. Went passed the first “line” , continued washing. Went thru spin cycle, but stopped at rinse, stalled. Waited 10 min, moved the knob and it’s filling. Filled ok, then rinsed all the way thru “rinse, spin and the off” buttons. Still agitating. Contacted the searspartsdirect.com . Very nice, but it was the “help you find parts dude”. Being directed to the website, it sugguests the main control board. Have already spent $175 for the timer. (needed replaced, could tell once I got it in). Does the electronic-control-board sound like the last option to you?
I have to turn and turn the knob b4 I can find a “drain and spin” that works. Then, if I’m not out watching it, it restarts the cycle. Starts filling the washer with water after spin is in off. Saw that might me the temp control. UGG…

light in the oven is always on , the turn off key seems is not working and as well some other 2 o 3 keys. my guess is i need to change the membrane, but , how i will konw if is just the membrane and not the the coen ntrol too. there is not teck sheet in the oven or else where. i do not want to give a wrong estimate to my costumer because the control is too expensive, one of the control is $279.17 and the membrane $140.00 if i added together both is so much. menbrane pt# 9756595bt- control pt# 9762812

Replaced bad def stat element ok help !

Have been managing the non-existant defrosting by completely thawing out the unit every 5 or 6 months. After the last thaw, the fridge is now freezing everything in the bins and on the lower levels. It sounds as though “something” is trying to kick in every so often, but never does. Don’t know what to do now.
Thanks

It seems like it always happens if I put a wet pan on the stove.

My refrigerator started to make a noise and then the temp started to drop. I noticed that the back panel had ice in the holes so I got everything out of fridge and freezer and unplugged it for 24 hours. I plugged it back in and everything started to work until 2 months later the noise came back and I noticed the ice again in the back panel. Right now I have everything out of the fridge and freezer and have unplugged it. What can I do to not have to do this every 2 months?

Thank you!

My ice maker is not working in my refrigerator. Is there some way I can run a diagnostic test to see what is wrong?

My Blomberg dishwasher (model: DWT 34240 NBL00) is showing error code “IF” then “88” and then “IF”. All the 4 wash cycle lights glow continuously and no button works except “ON/OFF” push button.

Hi, I have just purchased a secong hand fridge Samsung top fridge bottom freezer. The display says its 15c in fridge and -21 in freezer. The actual temp is 10c in fridge and 1c in freezer, the fridge light is not consistent so I removed the bulb and the unit beeps 11 times every 2 minutes.

My Maytag washer will not agitate. It fills, drains, and spins fine. When it comes to the agitate part of the cycle, it makes a low humming noise ( I believe this is the same noise as it normally makes, only minus the sounds of swishing water). After a while, a squealing noise starts, and I can smell burning rubber. The noise is just like a loose belt in a car. The loss of agitation was also progressive, from a ‘weak’ wash, to very minimal movement of the agitator, to complete failure to move, along with the other symptoms.

I checked the belts and they are fine, and there is no oil or liquid leaking. With the belt off, the large central pulley underneath is hard to turn counter-clockwise, and moderately hard to turn clockwise. There is no grinding, rumbling, or clinking noises. The tensioner moves freely.

I might guess that perhaps the transmission has become clogged or the grease has become sticky, or something has wound itself around the parts somewhere?

*This is an edited repeat of an earlier question, but with more details.

Any help is appreciated.

I have a 60s that I installed probably less than ten years ago, and it just doesn’t want to work.
If I leave the switch in the on position, the breaker on the bottom of the unit will pop.
One in twenty times the motor will fire up after several seconds of loud humming.
I can insert and fully turn the wrench.
Thoughts?

By the way, I was sent to your site from your YouTube channel. Thanks for those handy items!

With reference to the above, the frigde was not cooling. Therefore I took the back off & used a hair dryer to get rid of any ice. I used the hair dryer for 30 minutes then I dismantled the fridge. I continued to dry for another 30 minutes on the internal parts & then reassembled. I plugged the fridge back in at approximately 1700hrs. The temperature read 20C & when I replaced the food the temperature rose to 25C. It is now 1900hrs & the temperature is 17C!

Please help?

Hello,
Our Fisher & Paykel DEGX2US dryer takes forever and does not generate much heat.
After cleaning the dryer inside and out and removing a lot of lint, I followed your fantastic video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpZXoD16uvs. I was hoping that the resettable switch had tripped, but it appears that the rear element is the cause as it failed the simple continuity test. Is there a way to fix it (fuse? detached wire?) or should I order a new element from you guys?

Thank you for the great site, videos, and service!

DOES NOT agitate
Makes low humming noise
Eventually starts making squealing noise like a loose car fan belt
Eventually burning rubber smell appears
DOES spin
DOES drain/fill water

Thanks.

[edit] The belts look ok, although the one to the big pulley seems loose? I can rotate the big central pulley about half a rotation either way before the pulley ‘catches’, and then the belt starts to slide.

My washing machine seems to just quit working before spinning my clothes dry. I can normally restart it but now it just won’t do anything after washing and draining. Would greatly appreciate some help in figuring out what is causing this to happen. Could my husband do the repair or would it be too complicated? I’m never sure on what to do when it comes to our appliances and whether we should just get a new one.

Can somebody get me the part number for gas coils for my dryer? It isn’t heating up anymore. My son is going to come fix this for me and I can’t find the number. I keep telling him it’s an easy fix and if I can get him here I want to make sure I have the part he needs to get it working again. Can’t have him yelling at me for not at least doing that. And thank you.

I’m hoping you can determine if this is my ignitor failing, possibly the thermostat, or something else altogether. Most times it heats fine, bakes correctly. Other times it doesn’t seem to hit temperature, or falls short. Looking for some confirmation before replacing parts. Thanks.

My dishwasher doesn’t want to drain completely. Initially I thought it was something stuck and cleaned out as far as possible down into the impeller or chopper area like a video I saw on here. Ran another cycle and same thing happened. Could it be something stuck further in the drain or pump area?

My washer seems to only work intermittently. Some days it runs full cycles and other days it quits mid way through and I have to open and close the lid and restart it. Seems to be fine after that. Any thoughts on where I should begin?

can you find a video for our model? Need to know how to replace the board.
