So I am working on this Samsung fridge. Apparently it takes a pic of what is added to or taken out of the fridge so it keeps an inventory. After I closed it, it was asking me to confirm the items that were removed. I'm looking at it and it looks like 5 onions. It's not. Stupid "smart fridge" thought my bald ass head was produce.
My (octogenarian) parents are about to replace theirs for the 2nd time in 14 years. And the one in their garage has been humming smoothly since I was in diapers. I really just want to figure out where this went wrong, and why a 1983 Kenmore is preferable to a 2025 Samsung.
My apologies. It’s a Fidgidaire fridge
Dishwasher sprayer arms are getting clogged with food that is way too big to be able to fit in the tiny holes the water sprays out of.
This pipe thing looks corroded and my partner thinks that he’s seen pieces of plastic clogging the sprayer arms as well (presumably from this pipe).
The maintenance guy said that all of these pipes of dishwashers in the building are just like that and we have to just rinse the dishes better, and that there’s nothing wrong with it.
But he also said that there’s no way that food/debris could be clogging the sprayer arms from the inside, and we think he’s wrong, because some of the gunk we’ve pulled out was huge and really not likely to have come from outside the sprayer.
Definitely seems like water is trying to push gunk through the tiny holes and the maintenance guy seemed kinda shifty about it idk.
Partner took a few pictures of what i described.
Hello! I just bought this washing machine off Facebook marketplace. I have already contacted him to let him know the washer he sold me was broken, so we'll see where that goes. My question is what can I do to fix this thing if I'm stuck with it? First time dealing with appliances like this so any input is appreciated!
Model: Samsung Washer WF431ABP/XAA-01
Isssue:
When you start a cycle, the drum doesn't spin, just makes a clicking noise
My model is a stator/rotor
I opened up the back to take a look at it and the stator/rotor aren't spinning, which seems to be the issue
Not entirely sure again since I'm inexperienced
You guys think the stator/rotor needs to be replaced or could it be something else?
Really hoping it's something else since this part is expensive
I attached a video as well to show what I am referring to
Thanks again everyone!
My apartment has this Lg dishwasher for us to use. First couple of times we noticed that the dishes taste like soap. (We used one cascade tablet). So i did some research and decided to try liquid and powder detergent plus some rinse aid.
I barely put any soap in there and used a little bit of rinse aid and it was no help. The filter and dishwasher are both as clean as can be. Used cleaning tablets on cleaning cycles and also wiped down with white vinegar.
So i put in a maintenance ticket. The maintenance man let this dishwasher fill with water and it came out soapy. Even though no soap was put in. Ever since he left, ive ran the dishwasher like 8 times. Just until it fills with water and never putting any soap in. Every time i open it the water is super soapy. I have no idea where this soap buildup could be.
I do have a ticket to get the dishwasher replaced. I’ve been here for 2 years and rarely used the dishwasher. Especially because the first few times the dishes tasted soapy. But i am super curious on what is happening here.
Dishwasher was in my home when I purchased it approx 2 years ago and realtor claimed it was new. Although I’m sure it is the cheapest machine you can buy.
Model number is GDF535PSR3SS
My GE JGB735SP1SS gas oven was giving off a strong gas smell a few days ago, gas company confirmed it was coming from the oven while it was on and also got a CO reading from the oven.
my husband called an appliance repair guy who come out. He initially said it was a problem with the computer and I should buy a new one. He never got an actual error code. I asked him to show me the oven while it was trying to heat and it was taken apart. We saw that the burner tube would burn out and it would eventually reignite.
He then measured the resistance on the sensor and it read 880 ohms while the oven was off. It’s supposed to be 1080. He told me about that but said I should still buy a new one because replacing the sensor wouldn’t fix it. Charged me for a service call then left.
An hour after leaving, he texted my husband (I was the only one home while he was troubleshooting the oven) and said that he had the sensor to fix the oven and gave an estimate cost for repair.
All that being said, I don’t know that I trust this guy. Seems weird that he told me one thing and told my husband another. I don’t know much about gas ovens but I feel like replacing the sensor won’t fix the problem?
Looking for other opinions on this…
Hi all, I have a Maytag dryer with a bit of age on it. I always run it on the lowest heat setting (low, not air fluff). Lately it has seemed to be quite hot when it finishes a cycle and I reach my hand in to remove the clothes. I'm worried it is running too hot and will shrink or damage my clothes. Is this a known issue with this kind of dryer? Is there a good way to test it (besides just what it feels like to my hands)? Is there a reasonable fix for it? TIA for any help
Hi! I hired a SubZero authorized shop to replace the control board for my 16 year old Sub Zero 611 to fix an evaporator fan issue. My old board part # was phased out so they installed a direct replacement part. However, the new board is giving me a control issue where the cooling cycles run for 3+ hours freezing everything in the fridge compartment.
The technician with Subzero tech support already spent weeks on this ... replaced boards 2x, verified board configuration (resistor cut-outs), replaced compartment & evaporator thermistors, pressure tests were within specs, no EC codes, ... All things point to a control issue from this new board.
I still have the old original board. My initial service call was to fix a warm fridge & frozen crisper drawers. The tech said that the control board malfunctioned and was delivering inadequate voltage to the evaporator fan. So, I am hoping this old board can be repaired (relay? capacitor?) to run my fridge with proper control logic.
I'd really appreciate if you can share your experience/recommendation with any vendors (UpFix, etc) for similar repairs. TIA!
Btw I am in Canada. Perfect if the shop is domestic, but I will ship internationally to get my old board repaired if it makes sense.
Seal got damaged after the latest wash. I put my backpack in the mschine cos I spilled something over it which is the only kinda different thing I put in it so idk it it got damaged because of that
I've ordered a new seal before i took off the old one but idk if this part thr seal connect to is cracked
Despite what this video might suggest, at rest, the washing machine is 100% leveled on both sides, and I'm still having the same issue in this video.
This is a brand new Speedqueen TC5 and it's shaking during most cycles, though it's especially bad during Bulky/Sheets cycle w/ deep fill on.
All plastic inserts were removed from the machine, set up exactly as the manual suggested & the black rubber feet are on all 4 legs. I have also tested the machine without these rubber feet & still having a similar issue.
My last washing machine only had this issue when it started to fail. Any help to resolve is greatly appreciated.
This dishwasher is 2 years and 4 months old. We noticed that there wasn't any steam when we opened it and that our dishes were soaking wet still after using the heat dry option. The heating element looks fine, but that doesn't mean much. I ran diagnostic and it came back with F7E1, F4E3, and F6E2. So the motor isn't running, the heating element isn't working properly, and the control is out.
When the diagnostic ended, I opened the dishwasher to find steam and very hot water dripping inside the dishwasher. So I'm inclined to belive that the heating element may not be the problem but rather the thermostat or just the control board. Anyone have any advice or seen this before?
This goes on the front of the top rail. Seems to keep the wheels from sliding out. One is missing. I can’t find a part number for it.
Does anyone know what could have caused it? It was only about 3 months old and was a replacement for another element that lasted a long time.
I had to replace my craft ice maker under warranty last year. It worked again until this summer, literally one month past the three year initial refrigerator warranty. Now they want me to pay $415 to replace it again. Are you freaking kidding me? I will never buy LG again. Had awful experience with an LG dryer too, leaving melted plastic from the interior of the dryer all over my clothes. I love Costco, which is why I bought LG in the first place, but I'm so irritated by this experience that I will never buy LG again.
I'm picking up a dryer and washer this weekend while moving
I've been told that the washer is showing F7E1 – Basket Speed Fault. I'm not very handy, but I'm hoping I can fix this. Is anyone able to pin down what is wrong based on the video and the error code? Also any idea how much it will cost to fix or how hard it will be? Thank you
I have a KitchenAid dishwasher that started making odd sounds this past weekend seemingly out of nowhere. I was away for the week but my fiance says she didn't notice any issues when she used it during the week before. There is no water leaking that I can see but it does seem like it might be draining water slowly it's hard to tell. If you have any ideas of what could be causing the different sounds in the video please let me know what I could possibly do or look at to fix it if possible. Any help is appreciated as I'd prefer to fix this dishwasher rather than buy a new one. Thank you
I am use to DIY things around the house but this oven is giving me a bit more than Im use to. Any advice would be appreciated. I got an error code c20 or c21 I believe that meant the oven was overheating. It did have a bit of a burning wire smell to it. I unplugged it. I tested the oven temp gage and it was fine. Im not sure how to rest the panel. Also I am attaching what looks to be burned parts. I have heard sometimes in looks like this simply from cooking and over time smoke stains it. Do you think it is safe to use still ifni figure out the part that needs replaced. I would love nothing more than to hire a professional but I dont have the money for that. I have attached what my control board looks like and what the burnt parts look like.
Hello all. The good people of this thread recently helped me out with a frozen drain line on this refrigerator. Original post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/appliancerepair/s/aX85RcMHb9
I regret to report that the refrigerator is now showing a new issue. The freezer is working great, but the refrigerator just doesn’t get as cold as it used to. I am seeing online that this is likely a frozen blend door, or bad fan motor issue. Does anyone have and advice on those potential repairs, model specific ideas, or any other potential issues I have not found online?
I made the mistake of not taking a photo of one plug I took out for my dryer. Do I match the colours?
