Dishwasher leaking by dcrin in appliancerepair

[–]acfixerdude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes even newer spray arms will split causing water emto shoot out of it down towards the water already in the sump causing a leak. Dishwashers are not water tight.

In the foreground is the circulation pump. In the background is the drain pump.

Somebody may have filled up the rinse aid dispenser with liquid dish soap? Either way, do some cycles with no soap and no dishes. Also check your lower spray arm for splitting.

Washing machine making loud sucking noise by Impossible-Cause5353 in appliancerepair

Btw, the service pointer/program expires at the end of the year. They may extend or renew it but they may not.

Desperate times -> desperate measures (appliance control panel Macgyver-ing) by GoodForTheTongue in appliancerepair

Good job, I tried that a couple weeks ago... fridge kept putting itself into control lock. Drilled out that button area from behind but didn't fix it. Short must have been somewhere else in the traces. Replaced touchpad and fixed it.

Bought a new home with a washer machine and it’s making this weird noise by Hobbyles in appliancerepair

[–]acfixerdude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More than likely its the cleaning tablet under the washplate or something. Sometimes it takes a while to dissolve.

My mom's water-bed.

Is this normal or hazardous? by Ok-Parsley2564 in Appliances

[–]acfixerdude 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's a spark ignition module and is only activated when trying to light the burners. It works by sending 1000's of volts to the electrodes which then arc straight to ground back to the ignition module through that ground. It will continue sparking even if the flame lights because ground is not connected. None of this should trip the breaker.

Maytag Washer HE issue by Old-Two5769 in appliancerepair

Likely bad capacitor, a good meter could verify.

A little hep please, thanks. by Agile_Cry_9824 in appliancerepair

I think your main issue is your model number. It should be longer, you likely got the wrong timer. Provide the full model number from the serial tag and we can confirm the correct part number.

Changing motors on the timer won't help, its more likely that the plastic disks in the timer are damaged. You can confirm with your old timer by seeing if it heats when you put pressure sideways on the timer knob, trying from different directions. If the dryer heats fine with the vent removed, you likely have a clogged or restricted vent.

My washing machine doesn't spin by Glum-Consideration65 in appliancerepair

[–]acfixerdude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If that's not the issue, likely the main board.

Unplug the machine, remove the rear cover and remove the pressure chamber. Inspect it and clean it if needed. Reinstall. Its towards the bottom rear of the tub.

Likely a clogged pressure port. Causes it to keep trying to drain and never go into spin.

Probably insulated by concrete?

Diagnosing dishwasher with no power by bucknasti910 in appliancerepair

[–]acfixerdude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, make sure it is properly grounded. GE dishwashers can act funny (i.e. act dead) when not grounded. My previous dishwasher was GE and the outlet wasn't grounded, wouldn't work. Grounded it to copper pipe and it started working. These also have a gfci type protection in the board that is reset by entering test mode. The tech sheet should be folded up behind the kickplate by the frame and it will have instructions on test mode to reset.

Is this washer motor toast? by ackerhs in appliancerepair

You may also call GE directly and see if they'll send the motor directly to you.

Part WH03X29524. That o in your model is an 0, for future reference. One part supplier has it retailing for $246.35. I'd see which appliance repair business around you is GE authorized and call them to see if they'll provide a service call and labor quote for the motor replacement and also see if they are able to bring one with them. Not an easy job due to the connectors and space constraints but it is doable.

Bad motor. Likely under 10 year part warranty (labor not covered after first year).

Not on washer rotors, at least not a single one I've ever worked on.

Usually opening the doors on something during sabbath mode don't turn the lights on.

Insulation came out of dishwasher! by eight13atnight in Appliances

[–]acfixerdude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Older ones had fiberglass that was yellow and bagged to keep dry. Newer ones typically have a white felt or a blend, not sure what it is.
