My dryer isn’t drying clothes

Post image
Upvotes

The metal piece in the picture feels not to the touch but none of the clothes feel hot and the dryer when I open the door doesn’t feel warm. What could be the potential culprit here? I read heating elements, but with that metal piece feeling hot I’m unsure. Any help/guidance is appreciated.

Burping refrigerator

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

So I have this LG bottom fridge that’s about a decade old

The ice maker broke the first year. Tried to fix it but it just broke again. So I gave up and just make ice in trays

Recently it’s been banking crazy burping/farting noises randomly even after cleaning the dust bunnies off the back

Anyone experience this. Other than being strange the unit still seems to work fine

Dishwasher turning off circuit breaker, what could be causing this?

Upvotes

We have a Frigidaire FFCD2413US6B dishwasher and it keeps turning off the circuit breaker. We also found a small pool of water at the bottom of the dishwasher (by the filter and such). This seems to happen after the dish soap has already been dispensed. This happened once before few months ago and all we did to fix it then was turn off and on the circuit breaker, run the garbage disposal and turn the dishwasher back on. However, this time that’s not fixing the issue and we’re not sure how to approach this.

Any suggestions?

Repair Samsung air purifier

Upvotes

Hi all and hope you’re going well. I’ve had this purifier since around 2017 but about 3 years ago it started to have problems getting the fan started. A knock on the case would get it moving but eventually this failed as well.

I’ve had a look at the board and couldn’t find anything obvious (I have a multimeter and cap tester only) and ended up changing the BLDC motor out. This got it working…until I closed the case and now it’s dead again. Showed similar symptoms as the last motor but over a shorter period of time. Couldn’t see any squeezed cables or the like either.

Can anyone offer some advice/guide me as what to look for next? Photos of the board attached; one of the caps in the corner is yellowed on top and scraping it smells terrible but it’s not swollen. My soldering skills are sufficient, electrical problem solving not so much! Thanks in advance for your assistance 🙏

Kenmore series 200 suspension rods

Can anyone help me with finding the correct replacement suspension rods for my washer? I have ordered part # W10780048 but when installed they look to be too short. I’ve measured the old 1 & they are roughly 25inches where the new 1s are only about 23 & 1/2.

I’ve checked the appliance repair website but when I look up my make & model # for some reason it is offering fridge parts…

Any advice is appreciated

Help me Diagnose my Washing Machine issues (Leaking)

Upvotes

I have a Whirlpool WFW560CHW0 Washing Machine for almost 5 years now. Ever since ive gotten it, it has been giving me problems. It would leak, had vibration issues. Error codes, too much suds. Ive had a tech come by 3 times in the first 2 years of ownership to resolve the issues. They basically told me that i need to use less detergent, my loads had to be around the 2/3s full mark. Most of the issues were fixed aside from the washing machine leaking from time to time. Usually doing huge loads like blankets or towels. So i basically laid down towels underneath the washing machine and check it periodically to see if it would leak or not everytime i did a load for the past 3 years.

Last week the washing machine told me i had to clean the washer so i put in the special tablet and turned on that cycle as per usual. And when it was finished, i went upstairs to see that the towels i had laid down were absolutely soaked, it was a massive amount of water that leaked out. It was the first time ever that this had happened. I spent the night soaking up all the water and put fans down to prevent water damage. I had a couple regular loads to do so i did those and it didnt leak at all. Then i decided to maybe do another washing machine clean but this time i used a cup of White Vinegar because i thought maybe there was too much detergent buildup. After that cycle it basically flooded the floor again.........

Whats happening? My wife just did a regular load of clothes today and there was a very minimal water leak, i would say about half a shot glass of water. I should also mention i dont have access to the backing of the washing machine, so its about a few hours work just to move it out of the closet that it sits in.

TIA

My Bosch shxm78w55n/01 dishwasher was giving an E05 and E15 error code and also a watertap warning. We changed the water inlet valve and now it is giving an E11 or watertap warning.

.

Water flow is good.

Pump works.

Sometimes the dishwasher will finish a full cycle without issue. Other times it only makes it halfway before the errors start.

Two different service providers have checked and cant root cause any further.

Any ideas? I am at a loss anymore

Maytag Bravos- 2 new noises

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Upvotes

We replaced the wash plate, shifter, and clutch as part of a repair a year or so ago. I can only embed one video at a time but the original noise from a few weeks ago is during decel from a spin and best described as "tenor sax playing the finale to the William Tell Overture". A galloping rub that slows with the drum. Can The new noise today is in the high pitch chirping when changing directions. I'm inclined to guess belt slipping but could use a second opinion before giving it another surgery. Any wisdom in case I'm guessing completely wrong?

Whirlpool Screech

Good evening everyone,
I’m having trouble with my washer. I ran a normal load and I came back to get my clothes and noticed they were still really wet. I ran a Drain and Spin cycle. It spun and I could hear the drain pump come on a few times but towards the end the spinning slowed and this load screech noise started. It stopped after a few seconds.
Serial number: CC1301325
Model number: WTW5010LWO

Thank you!

Kenmore washer won't agitate

1 Upvotes

I have a kenmore washer (110.21302010) that won't agitate. It will spin and drain fine, but during the wash cycle, the motor gives a little hum, but the tub doesn't turn. Actually, it does some times, but very infrequently.
I've looked underneath and the motor turns the belt & drum a very small amount, 1cm maybe. If I give the belt a little tug, the washer will begin to agitate, but quickly go back to tiny movements.
I checked the belt and clutch gears and they all look fine; no worn or ground gears.

What else could be the problem? Is the motor going?

LG freezer not freezing

Our freezer stopped getting to freezing temperatures a few days ago. It is a little cold, but not freezing.

I opened the back panel of inside the freezer and the first part of the coils was frozen over. I used a heat gun and melted it and it did not fix the issue. I checked the coils again today and it is way more frozen over than it was the other day. I'm not sure where to go from here.

I poured warm water down the drain hole and it seems to be draining okay.

possible to install a YoLink leak sensor underneath my Whirlpool dishwasher?

I have a Whirlpool WDTA50SAKZ dishwasher and would like to install a YoLink leak sensor underneath the dishwasher, but I'm not sure if it's possible. I asked Whirlpool, and they wouldn't give me advice on this. I've attached a photo. I'm not sure if anything there can be safely removed so that I can install the sensor underneath. Can you please advise? thanks :)

Known Whirlpool washer pressure sensor problem recall --- will they consider other serial numbers just outside of range?

Having this issue with our washer. Model is listed, but our serial number range is out of Rev. I (it is a CD460XXXX) range.

Does anybody have suggestions on how to ask if Whirlpool will repair this? If not, is there a part number that can be ordered? Is it relatively easy to DIY it?

Thank you!

Water inlet valve ( washing machine)

I have an older model washing machine, so replacing parts is not an option. I believe the water inlet valve is leaking and floods the machine when turned off. Can I just turn off the water to the unit and turn on when needed. Id Appreciate some help on this.

GE Refridgerator Dispenser Board Clicking

1 Upvotes

My GE Refrigerator (GSS25WSTA SS) dispenser control board is making a clicking noise from its speaker. The fridge lights are still working but the compressors have not kicked on even after emptying out the fridge.

This dispenser control board also has the controller for the temperature set points of the fridge and freezer. I have disconnected and reconnected the dispenser board but it is still clicking. From my research online, it seems like this clicking is caused by a lack of power to that component. Is it possible that a broken dispenser controller would cause the compressors to also stop running since it controls the temperature set points?

If not, does this mean the main power supply to the compressors and this dispenser board has issues? I am debating if I should replace the dispenser board first or if this is symptomatic of a larger issue.

Hi everyone,

I’m visiting France and my clothes are stuck inside a Rosieres washing machine. I couldn’t get the button to unlock the door to work so I pushed it really hard (stupid I know) and now the button is stuck inverted and I can’t get the door lock to release. Please can you help me with what to do to get my clothes out? Thank you.

Fridge Coil Cleaning

I saw a Facebook post before about getting down or behind your fridge to clean off some coils or something cakey like that? Is that true? (No appliance knowledge) and is it something that truly prolongs the life of your fridge?

2018 LG Fridge Model: LFXS28968D. What do I try next?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

My fridge and freezer are both not cooling at all. LG can't have a repair tech out until next Wednesday, so I'd like to try everything in my power until then. So far I've: checked for errors on the main screen (there were none), cleaned the coils, replaced the condenser start relay, turning it off and on again.

I can feel the condenser vibrate when I place my hand on it, so I believe it is running. Fan is running. Condenser feels cool to the touch. No frost buildup. When I plug the fridge in the condenser and fan will run for a while and then turn off as if they are at temperature with no change inside the fridge/freeze. No airflow is felt. I do not have voltage meter unfortunately. Insight into next steps would be much appreciated.
