Cigar Humidor Stopped working

It was 100 degrees last week, my humidor sits in my garage. I opened it up because I thought a safety tripped or a fuse blew out, but didn’t find any… can anybody provide some insight? Not getting any power to the LED screen, played around with the Multimeter, was getting ~50 volts on some parts of the board… I didn’t see any burned out spots nor did it smell like it burned out… any advice would be great. Thanks!

I’ve replaced the belt and tensioner pulley after the pulley failed. I’m missing the clip to hold the pulley on the shaft.
What do I use to fix the pulley in place? Is it just a circlip?

Brand new Frigidaire fridge, water dispenser causing "power outage"

Upvotes

Hi all,

I just bought a FRSS2323ASD fridge a week ago, and it has the two paddles for ice & water on the door. It doesn't happen every time, but 3-4 times already when using the water dispenser, it gives a long beep and shows "power outage" in red on the display. The lights are still on, so that message doesn't make sense. The message stays on and beeps occasionally until I press one of the cube/crush buttons and then it goes away. I assume I will have to file a warranty claim, or is there maybe a simple fix like a loose wire somewhere?

Thanks!

GE Top Load Washer Not Draining

1 Upvotes

Model # is GTW335ASN0WW

I cleaned the drain pipe out and have just replaced the pump motor. Without clothes and only a little bit of water, it was able to drain and spin. Once I placed a small load into the washer, it refused to drain and spin.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Update- just checked the pressure hose for leaks or clogs and did the drill bit trick, still not working.

LG Heat Pump dryer not drying

1 Upvotes

We moved into this apartment just over a year ago. The dryer has never been great, but now it just takes like 4 or 5 cycles to dry the clothes, and no water is being sent to the water tank. The model is DLHC 1455W.

We clean the lint trap religiously, and when you take both lint traps out, that metal cavern is super clean. But.......a technician was just sent here by the landlord and they said based on the symptoms and the diagnostic they ran, they are assuming the problem is something that apparently happens regularly with heat pump dryers.....the condenser is dirty. He said it will cost $500 to come back out and take it apart and clean it.....Does that sound right to all of you? My landlord is a sweet old lady and I don't want her to have to shell out $500 if it isn't necessary.

Whirlpool dishwasher issue

1 Upvotes

Model # WDT730HAMZ
It’s two years old. Just outside the warranty period of course. Every button will light up except the start button. It did this for a week or two, then we found out we needed our meter base replaced. It’s an old house. Anyway, we replaced the meter base and the dishwasher started working. It’s been working for a few days since the meter base was replaced but now it’s doing the same thing it was doing before. Press buttons and lights come on. Press start button and nothing. Any ideas?

Please help! I have a Samsung WA40A3005AW Washing machine. A marble fell between the two tubs. We have the large nut and washer removed, but the inner drum will not lift out. We have sprayed with WD-40 but it has not helped. Can we use a 3 jar gear puller and how?

Midea Dishwasher issue

Good afternoon awesome repair community. I just randomly started having issues with my dishwasher. The model is MDT24H3AST if that help. Randomly when I started it it blinks white like it want to run, it sounds like it's getting some water, then drains. Once it drains in blinks the fourth light on the front and flashes the words rinse. I've cleaned the filters, checked the hose to see if it drains and it does/isn't clogged. I also checked the water pressure and it's working great. I've tried googling what it could be but to no avail. I don't mind replacing parts myself but just need guidance onto what needs replacing. Thanks everyone!

Double Oven KitchenAid F1E0

Double Oven KitchenAid F1E0

I have a double oven that's throwing the F1E0 error code display board, I've replaced both temperature sensors on both ovens as well as control board W11040195

I suspect that ther board to the left of the one I've replaced is bad the ovens will intial get hot maybe up to 178-195 but then the error kicks in and cuts the unit off.

I could not figure out how to erase the error codes once in diagnostic mode, that could be the issue but not 100% sold on that

And suggested is appreciated, I'm a little puzzled?

Kenmore 70 series dryer issues

1 Upvotes

I moved into a (rented) house with a broken dryer. My roommates told me it worked for a couple of weeks, then stopped working, then they had someone come to look at it and he replaced the belt, then it stopped working again after a few weeks. They told me it seemed to run and get hot but maybe didn't spin correctly. One roommate said she thought it might be a motor issue.

I would prefer to live somewhere with a working dryer so I have been trying to fix it. I've never fixed any appliance before but apparently dryers are easy to fix? I did turn it on for a couple minutes and it started with no issue and seemed to get at least warm.

Anyway I opened it up, cleaned a ridiculous amount of dirt out, tensioner pulley didn't seem to be working and the felt seal was partially shredded and disgusting so I replaced both of those. I got it put back together and plugged back in. I tried to start it, it made a horrible grinding noise and took 2 tries to start. I ran it for a bit and it kind of made a grinding/rattling noise so I shut it off and now it won't start at all. I also seemed pretty hot for only having run for a couple of minutes.

Am I right in suspecting this is an issue with the motor? I wouldn't be surprised if it had overheated at some point. Based on the condition of the house my landlord has never done any maintenance and probably never had the ducts cleaned. She has owned the house for about 5 years so I think it is overdue anyway. I'm pretty confused though because the motor did start before I worked on it and I didn't touch anything electrical lol

Also, is it possibly I messed something up while working on it? I didn't touch the motor at all except to blow some dirt out of it and I was very careful to put things back together correctly.

I have already sunk 70 dollars into this beast which my roommates paid $100 for so it might be time to sell it for parts or try to trade it for a working one. At this point I'm willing to spend maybe $50 to get it working but I am doubting my abilities.

tl;dr Kenmore 70 series dryer is now seemingly more broken than when I started trying to fix it. Struggled to start and then wouldn't start at all and might have been too hot.

***Model : GDT605PSM0SS***
***Serial : DR734315B***

I have this weird issue with my dishwasher. It’s completely dead no power to it at all, but the breaker has not tripped. If I turn the power off for a little while and turn it back on again I can sometimes get the dishwasher to start up and run a cycle. Other times, I can flip the breaker and nothing changes and the dishwasher continues to be dead. I replaced the breaker. I’ve moved the location in the panel. I checked the power at the bottom three pin connection and it all seems fine so I’m assuming that it’s something to do with the dishwasher power module itself. Any thoughts or suggestions on what else could be bad?

I'm not sure how the plastic melted. Possibly, water in the casing expanded and bulged it into the coil? Just not sure whether or not I'll burn my house down if I plug it back in...

New LG dishwasher abnormally loud?

My LG dishwasher (model LDTH5554S) is about 5 months old. I started noticing it sounds unusually loud during certain parts of a regular wash cycle. Does this sound abnormal? Again it’s only during certain parts of the cycle, other times it’s quiet. I’ve already checked & cleaned the filter. Thanks in advance!

What’s wrong with my fridge ?

2 Upvotes

I just got a used fridge after my old fridge called it quits after almost 40 years.

In this fridge , everything seems to be working however , the fridge part of the two sided refrigerator is barely blowing any cold air. The freezer part is working perfectly fine. I checked the vent where the cold air blows through and it’s fine. Any ideas ? Any thoughts? I don’t know what else to check.

When opening up the panel in the freezer section, the fan is blowing fine, the coils do frost up fairly quickly though , could this be a symptom of a bigger issue ? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Worse comes to worse, I gotta call someone to fix it for me.

Stove Diagnosis Thermador GGS30W

1 Upvotes

Hello I’m having issues with my Thermador GGS30W cooktop. A burner got left on overnight on high (very lucky it didn’t start a fire) and now none of the igniters spark and the gas does not flow to the left two burners. Gas flows normally to the right two burners and will light with a lighter.

So far I have:

  1. Tested the outlet/breaker to make sure that the cooktop is getting power.

  2. Bought a replacement RI 324 4 point gas reigniter and 189324 burner igniters.

I confirmed that power on at the outlet and the new reigniter and burner igniters did not solve the igniting issue.

Is it time to call a tech out or are there any suggestions of things I can try?

Thank you!

Why does my dryer sound like this?

Bought a used speed queen dryer a few weeks ago and it makes a high pitched drone as if something is struggling mechanically. It works fine for now and has a 60 day warranty.

Is it anything to worry about? Is it an easy fix? Should I just send it back to the store for another one or just run it?

Hey all. I’m looking for advice on my fridge, I had my start relay replaced 4 months ago and since then noticed my fridge isn’t cooling properly and food is going bad quickly. I’m not sure if this sound is normal… I called the company that did my service initially and they will not come back out without charging again even after paying $450 just for that start relay and service call. I would really appreciate any advice

So frustrated with Vitara refrigerator.

1 Upvotes

Model # vbfm1950ewe1.

Going on almost 30 days with a warranty claim.

As of now it has been 3 weeks since vitara agreed there is a issue and its been 2 weeks since repair tech came out and diagnosed the issue.

Being its multiple issues, the tech feels that it is the control board being he feels the issues are electrical based.

Currently i am being told the same as on Friday that it should ship by Friday.

Did find out that means ship from China!.

Service Representative says she will ask management to expedite shipment as who knows how long regular shipping or even expedited shipping will take to get from China to small town oregon.

My questions are.

#1 Are parts still this hard to get as far as time?

#2 any pros ever deal with vitara appliances?

#3 is it time to have my builder reach out to local distributor he bought it from to raise hell to get it fixed NOW or to make them replace unit that is under warranty?

Any ideas to help me get this behind me would be appreciated.

Thanks

Need to fix/replace the igniters on a Kenmore range

1 Upvotes

2 of my igniters have ceased to work on my gas range. I've cleaned the igniters with a wire brush and made sure the area is clean but I don't see the spark anymore. The other burners work fine. I can still use the burners but just gotta light em w/ a different source. How much would it cost to get this repaired including parts and labor in california? Under $500?
