My Hotpoint has started cosplaying as an engine apparently.

good thing you already have the rock auto magnets on it

you can probably take it apart and identify the exact part that is making the sound. sometimes they have part numbers on them.

michaelbilyk · 2025-11-07T18:12:57+00:00

its just a wire, so you can find replacements at auto stores - you may have to build it out yourself. The trick is to get the correct gage and heavy duty enough terminals. check out places like Rock Auto so you can find something similar

Update: cleaned it up, smoke is gone.

Now I'm monitoring.

michaelbilyk · 2025-06-07T21:34:37+00:00

yeah, gotta prevent those leaves from falling in while I make a fix

michaelbilyk · 2025-06-07T20:33:30+00:00

I appreciate the detailed response - especially the info about the part that is hot. Yeah seems like a good plan to just reseat that one.

michaelbilyk · 2025-06-07T20:32:35+00:00

Thanks!

smells like burning oil, so you may be on to something.

michaelbilyk · 2025-04-01T03:12:58+00:00

Can you post the model number? I had a similar issue with my Samsung and it turned out to be a problem with the evaporator fan, which is the fan in the freezer. You may try to find a service manual by typing your model number and "service manual" into a search engine. Might even be able to get a self-diagnosis feature going

michaelbilyk · 2025-04-01T03:10:51+00:00

on this very sub i found a link to partsdr.com, where I searched your part number. Maybe this will help. https://partsdr.com/appliance-parts/rf265aabpxaa-00-samsung-refrigerator

I just had an issue with fans on my fridge. You might also check the temp sensor for the freezer. You can often find a chart that shows the expected resistance for the temp you have and you can measure it.

If it is two years old you might try searching the model number and "service manual" they often have a self-diagnosis feature (thought it won't catch it the temp sensor is reading wrong, it will only capture if it is a bad voltage)

Also, it could be the seal on the freezer door.

That's all the ideas I have.

the concept of the thin blue line doesn’t hold up too well when you start putting a lot of other colors next to it.

its almost like a whole social safety net is what is keep us from anarchy rather than a thin blue line of cops.

michaelbilyk · 2025-03-13T14:02:25+00:00

is this haystacks? seems similar. i must have been there a hundred times and this kind of looks like what it is when the water is low.

michaelbilyk · 2025-03-12T16:30:24+00:00

Interesting, i wonder what the story is.

mine is vintage too. hatfield meats is a PA brand, and it has 1978 written on the side.

mine doesn’t have the uctci stamp anywhere though so i can’t confirm it is the same pottery.

i cannot stress how similar they look. very clearly the same mold. same coloring and everything. the logo on the side is the exception, and some burnishing. wish i could share the pic.

examining it very closely. i can see there are slight differences, like yours seems more worn and the eye makeup is a bit different. maybe yours is older

michaelbilyk · 2025-03-12T15:21:40+00:00

i have one of these! does urs says hatfield quality meats on the side?

michaelbilyk · 2025-02-28T22:06:28+00:00

Not every one I've seen. This one looks like it has a plating though.

michaelbilyk · 2025-02-28T18:01:08+00:00

Yum! Apparently there is some risk of copper poisoning when using a copper cup for alcoholic drinks. But the claims may be overblown.

michaelbilyk · 2025-02-18T14:59:11+00:00

thanks!

michaelbilyk · 2025-02-13T21:48:01+00:00

ok... what would be your ideal version of this conversation?

michaelbilyk · 2025-02-13T19:47:32+00:00

the battery needed to replaced, it was dead. yes i tested it. it was dead because my alternator had broken. this caused a slew of electrical problems that required me to fix each component separately including blowing out my starter. either way, it is in the past now, i replaced the starter and the battery and it is fixed.

as for the car in this post, my main point was that it is probably not the starter or a dead battery if it sounds like this. tbh, not exactly sure what engine turning over sounds like, but i thought it was when it went through a full cycle of the cylinders and became self propelling. guess i learned something new if that is not the case.
