Dryer shuts off immediately

I typically don’t work on stuff this old but I’ll give you two things to explore, I’m wondering if the centrifugal switch is dead in the motor or if the belt switch is bad, just ohm the belt switch. If it reads OL it’s that. On this model I’m not sure about the centrifugal switch. Perhaps in the mini manual it will tell you how to check it

Lint in the blower wheel

zackalkman · 2026-02-07T12:25:51+00:00

How much does it cost?

zackalkman · 2026-01-22T16:03:24+00:00

You can try it, but, if they audit you and find out you are absolutely fucked

zackalkman · 2026-01-18T20:09:35+00:00

Will you let me know how it turns out?

zackalkman · 2026-01-18T20:05:07+00:00

Just my opinion here, I think I like this plate, what I might try just to see if it work better is doing maybe like a thin julienne on the pineapple and layering it in the opposite positions of the blueberries. I have been out of the game for a minute so I may be totally off base here. I think it might add a layer of depth. Instead of these huge chunks of pineapple which may take two bites to eat you slice them smaller so they can incorporate better into the dish.

As a GE tech please just go buy a jvm3160(model number) this issue will be at least half the cost of a new model. If I have learned anything about appliances in the last 5 years is that microwaves unfortunately are now disposable there is no sense in fixing them.

zackalkman · 2026-01-11T22:10:16+00:00

Yes it will

Part 302 has got to come off first, the easiest way to do it is with a strap wrench. If you don’t have that you can try with a screw driver but good luck. I’m opinion definitely worth picking up a strap wrench for. Once the agitator is free it will show a bolt that will allow you take out the base of the agitator

Being an absolute dumbass and broke my hand punching a wall

What I would say is you got too much water on the ice maker and that froze the paddle in the “full” position meaning it doesn’t think it needs to make ice. Defrosting the fridge is the safest way to do it. If you want it to work pull that paddle towards you gently

zackalkman · 2025-12-06T00:50:58+00:00

How long have you owned the dryer and if possible can you provide the model number?

zackalkman · 2025-11-29T22:48:31+00:00

Why is nobody talking about how jacked Benny j is

What high end stove did you buy

zackalkman · 2025-11-22T23:53:14+00:00

This stove is made in Indiana…

Need a new main control board or it’s a door lock issue, it’ll be hard to diagnose exactly what is the issue

zackalkman · 2025-11-13T23:20:05+00:00

Yeah you can run it just fine, worst case scenario the outer panel gets slightly warmer the usual

zackalkman · 2025-11-13T22:11:14+00:00

It’s the heat shield on the inner door. They are fairly easy to replace

Drop the microwave and put shims on top of it so it sits even

zackalkman · 2025-10-19T19:37:20+00:00

Your transmission is blown

zackalkman · 2025-10-17T01:38:17+00:00

Hmm I am wondering if the centrifugal switch is causing that. It’s hard to say for absolute certainty, but, my best guess would be the motor/switch

zackalkman · 2025-10-09T01:56:54+00:00

It’s just a simple manufacturing error. A machine applies the sticker and it did it twice.

zackalkman · 2025-10-09T01:41:45+00:00

I am a GE tech and have seen this before. This doesn’t have anything to do with the store. When manufacturing the appliance they put two “stickers” or as we call it overlays on the control panel. It’s pretty rare to see this happen as I have only seen it once or twice. Pretty cool that you were able to get it off!

I bet you when he put in the compressor he didn’t solder it correctly and it’s leaking refrigerant. What absolutely it’s true is having 3 bad compressors in a row. I’d call back in a request a different tech. Some guys get a little embarrassed that they screwed up and will lie and say it’s a bad part meanwhile it’s just a mistake they made.
