Model pyg2300aww

Tue, 22 May 2012 04:51:15 +0000

Model pyg2300aww Maytag performa.. This dryer just received a new belt. It turns fine until the clothes get put in it. When you put a load in it stops turning or turns extremely slow. The motor is turning but the belt is slipping on the motor pulley. The idler pulley and the roller wheels in the back spin freely, The plastic glides on the bottom appear to be fine. I am stumped here.

GLTF1670AS1 Won't start strange noise when timer put in any position

Tue, 22 May 2012 03:26:50 +0000

Frigidaire front load washer will not start on any cycle. Put it in spin, pull knob, same noise. Would a motor problem stop it from filling? Its kind of a buzzing noise coming from center of machine. I am going tomorrow to diagnose any suggestions?

Need Substitute for Ball Check

Tue, 22 May 2012 01:59:19 +0000

I think I have narrowed down my dishwasher problem.  My Maytag MDB9100AWB dishwasher doesn't seem to have very much pressure during the wash cycle.  I removed the drain cover plate to inspect the drain impellor.  There was supposed to be a check ball there which closes during the wash cycle.  It is missing which I believe means lower wash pressures.

Anyway here's the problem.  This part is discontinued.  The replacement part is for the later series and is too small.

Does anyone know of a similar sized ball used in another machine?  Looks like I need a 7/16" to 1/2" diameter ball.

I hate to scrap a good machine for what used to be a $4 part.  I have attached a picture (1 inch square) of what I need.

Please let me know,

Jeff

Staber HXW 2304 Inner tub removal

Tue, 22 May 2012 01:57:26 +0000

I am replacing the sump hose. To seal one end of the sump hose, I need to remove the inner tub to access. I am unable to remove the inner tub as the set screws don't have the head which I can use a hex socket or torx to unscrew? It seems like they were put in this way, perhaps they were put in backwards? Any ideas to allow removal of the pulley and shafts?
thanks

KitchenAid DW not washing dishes: feeble spray

Mon, 21 May 2012 23:44:36 +0000

KitchenAid model KUDP01ILWH2, bought in 2003. Had been working great until about 3 weeks ago when dishes did not get cleaned.

My 16 year old daughter and I found the tech manual and ran the diagnostic. The soil sensor light comes on (at start of interval #4 I think) and then stays on (it continues to do this today).
So we tested the soil (pressure) sensor with an ohm meter: works with light finger pressure.
Thinking it was a back pressure problem, we took out and cleaned the drain pump, main pump, and chopper assembly. Found a bunch of gunk, including bits of broken glass, but it did not appear jammed. We cleaned everything very well and reassembled.

It ran fine for a few days (success!?!), but then just a few days later did not clean at all again. :-(

We noticed that the "heating water" stage was taking a long time, and when we opened the door during that phase noticed the water level was below the heating element -- which sizzled when we splashed water on it.

So last weekend we assumed the problem was that we weren't getting enough water in, so we took out fill valve and tested the flow on the water line (fine).

Question: We also dissembled the fill valve as far as we could, then hooked it up to a 110V source. It's very hard to blow through the fill valve even when it's open... is that normal? (We couldn't figure out how to test the flow rate with water.)

But the valve did work, so we cleaned and reassembled. We also tested overflow switch -- works fine.

But it won't clean at all. When put on "rinse only" there appears to be plenty of water but the spray pressure/volume appears too low.

Any suggestions appreciated! This has been a great DIY project with my daughter and it will be a shame to have to call in an expert repair man when we've gotten this far.

Miele DA250 - Disassembly instructions to get to the transformer?

Mon, 21 May 2012 21:36:29 +0000

Anybody know how to disassemble a Miele DA250 Island Vent Hood?

Tried attacking it from below, but no luck. The piece with the lights would not come out at all.

Thought maybe we might have to come in from the top, which is a shelf, but the panels are metal and are glued down. Do we need to use a heat gun to soften up the adhesive to pop them out? Seems a bit drastic.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

GE TFX24PRXAAA Ice Maker not making ice

Mon, 21 May 2012 04:41:27 +0000

I have a 17 year old GE side by side with an ice maker issue. I had prevously replaced both the water inlet valve (after 10 years), and the ice maker unit about 3 years ago. Up until last night, ice was flowing as normal. I noticed that ice was jammed up underneath the feeler arm. I broke up ice to free up the feeler arm. I emptied out some ice to free up some space. This morning, no ice was made. After investigating this is what I have determined it is a water issue. Using a continuity tester, both sides of the solonoid are closed (no resistance). I had seen the rakes spin after plugging in the fridge. The feeder tube in not frozen. Drinking water still comes out of the water dispenser on the door. From another post, you mentioned that the ice maker might be at fault and not be calling for water. Is there any way to test the ice maker? I had run across another thread that tested the ice solonoid by switching the plug for the door water and the ice maker. Water came flowing. Only issue now is it wont shut off.

Sooooo, is it my ice maker? Any way to test it (it looks like the GE relpacement you are selling)? And lastly, did I fry my water inlet valve? Any way to get the valve to close?

Thank you.

How to remove the freezer floor, fridge ceiling from an Amana Fridge Model tz19qw

Sun, 20 May 2012 23:41:45 +0000

So I have an Amana Model tz19qw. From part list pictures and from other postings it seems that the section that makes up the floor of the freezer and the ceiling of the fridge are removable. I had the doors off today and had all the screws and bolts I could find out but the front area of this section seems to be secured behind the metal that makes up the side of the unit. I was wondering if anyone had suggestions how to remove this so I could see what is actually between the two sections.

Bosch Front Load Washer WFMC6400UC Problems

Sun, 20 May 2012 21:49:13 +0000

Having problems with our front loader washer

Ran the following Test Programs and received the following errors.

P2 = Safety - Water starts to fill - stops - Drums turns then Error DR:09
P2 = Autom - Water starts to fill - Stops - drum turns then Error DR:18

The rest of the test ran OK.

Looking up the error codes they pointed to a Faulty motor control. So I ordered a new motor control board and installed it and ran the test again.

Received an ER:20 Unbalanced load or faulty wire harness.

Can anyone point me in the best direction.

LG LFC25776SW Leaking Water

Sun, 20 May 2012 15:25:12 +0000

New LG fridge as of last Wednesday. Woke up Friday and Saturday morning to puddles of water underneath and around it. There is no moisture near the water line on the floor (back of the fridge), none on the water line itself, none at the water line connection on the fridge, and none on the line from the connection going to the icemaker. At least it appears there is no moisture in these areas or on these parts. The only moisture I see is in the drip pan underneath a white plastic tube leading down from inside the unit. I'm assuming this is collecting/disposing of condensation or something. There is moisture however - in the form of a big puddle - underneath the fridge. Any thoughts? An authorized LG service tech is coming out in 4 days. Thanks

Whirlpool side by side fridge water dispenser stopped working

Sat, 19 May 2012 21:36:40 +0000

My Whiirlpool s/b/s fridge, model # ED5FHGXKQ02m stopped dispensing water. The ice maker and ice dispenser is unaffected by the failure. The failure coincided with the failure of our well pump pressure switch. For a little while, if the paddle was manipulated to the right side, some water would dispense, but then stop midstream. Now, it will not dispense at all. I watched the video on how to test the dispenser on another model, but I have looked all around the dispenser frame, and I can see no point of access or screws. Any ideas as to whether this is likely a switch failure, or something else? Also, do you have a manual for this model? Thank you in advance for your help, Darlene.

PS: your help was invaluable in fixing my washer. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Block of ice

Sat, 19 May 2012 21:27:39 +0000

Unit is a Sub Zero model 532, in constant use for about 15 years. Problem is with the ice maker and started several months ago. Ice cubes seem to be properly made and drop into the tray. About 10 minutes later water enters the tray and of course freezes. The result is a single large block of ice with the individual cubed embedded within the block. Any thoughts on how to resolve this issue will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for looking.

Maytag MWB9100 Dishwasher

Sat, 19 May 2012 17:16:01 +0000

Guys I need help!  My trusty Maytag MWB9100 is giving me fits.  It doesn't seem to clean well, actually hasn't cleaned well for years now.  It seems like every 3 or 4 months I would have to disassemble all the lower spray components and clean the filters.  They were always full of crud.  It would clean OK for awhile, then start to lose pressure.

This time I did some more research and went a little farther.  Took the cover plate off the drain area.  I was expecting to find a ball check valve there but it was missing.  Also all of the flow areas were full of  crud or minerals.

Could that be the source of my low pressure problems or is that just part of the drain system?

Do I need the check valve and what happens if it isn't there?

The black and gray impellors both look good, I can't see where I have any evidence of the stripped thread syndrome.  Do I need to buy the replacement kit?

Also, from time to time I get leakage near the door seal.  Do you think that's an related or unrelated symtom.

Any help you can give me would be much appreciated.

DD603 drain hose replacement...whoops

Sat, 19 May 2012 04:14:04 +0000

Hello again, ninjas.

So today I replaced the drain hoses on my tenant's DD603, per this thread.

Overall the job seemed to go okay, and I confirmed that both of the hoses were in fact clogged. However, the hose/wire loom routing was a bear. After I replaced the hoses and got everything back together, neither one of the drawers would close smoothly and completely. The upper drawer will seal if you keep it firmly pushed in while starting it, but the lower will not; it gives the five tone warning if you try to start it. On the plus side, when I ran a cycle on the upper drawer it drained fully, so at least something is working.

Obviously the hoses and wire loom aren't laying properly when the drawers are closed. Are there any tricks to getting this right? I found it particularly hard to get the length of the drain hose precise. Also, I noticed here that the link support kit with the wire hanger is now recommended for both top and bottom drawers. We have the link support on the upper drawer, but the lower drawers has a stiff nylon wire with three cable clamps.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated. My tenant's getting annoyed, so if I can't get this resolved quickly I'll probably have to resort to a professional (which I perhaps should have in the first place ).

Thanks again for your help!

GE Profile model # PFS22SISBSS not cooling

Sat, 19 May 2012 02:15:22 +0000

First, I would I would like to thank you for reading my post. Last year, my refrigerator and freezer were not cooling. I noticed the condenser coil fan spinning very slowly with very hot condenser coils. I replaced the fan motor and it fixed my issue.

Now a year later, my fridge and freezer are not cooling again. The compressor is very hot and both the condenser coil fan and the evaporator fan in freezer are running. I unplugged my fridge for a couple of days and it worked for a week until there same issue of poor cooling. Also, there is no ice build up in the evaporator coils.

Any suggestions for troubleshooting this issue? I vaguely remember doing some Ohm testing of the mother board and it being OK then. However, I am unable to find the same troubleshooting info.

Frigidaire Dishwasher PLD2855RFC0 Leaking Out the Door Sweep

I have attached a YouTube video of this dishwasher leaking while running. You can see the water is being pushed out from under the door sweep while washing. A new door sweep did not help.

Any advice gladly welcomed.

WSM2700DAWWW will not spin

Fri, 18 May 2012 17:47:49 +0000

the machine agitates ok but when it goes into spin the drum does not spin which caused the house to fill with black smoke while the belt melted against the motor pulley. I purchased a new belt and found that if i tensioned the tensioner or spun the transmission by hand it would spin. The drum seems to spin ok if i rotate it by hand. While looking at a parts diagram i could not find a clutch or anything else. Only a complete transmission. Machine has a 2/06 code. Thanks

asko w620 power light on, nothing else

Fri, 18 May 2012 14:36:05 +0000

Hi
A couple of days ago my washer was running fine (other than the occasoinal banging which started right before I changed the motor brushes).  The pin trap was filling up and I ingored my wife's comment that I should pull it out right away.  Anyway...
All of a sudden the washer just quit working during the rinse cycle.  Steam was coming out of the soap tray.  Now it won't do anything.  It has power.  All of the fuses are fine.  The power light is on (which I had to pull the front panel off to verify as the power light fell out of its housing.)

Did the pump fry?  I took out the pump and looked at it.  Is there a way to test this thing?

The door will not unlock electrically.

When I turn on the power there is a slight click at the timer.  The machine does nothing if I turn the timer.

Any ideas?

Kenmore commercial dryer starts then stops after 2-3 revolutions

Fri, 18 May 2012 01:00:42 +0000

I have a Kenmore coin operated Gas dryer that starts to spin but after starting it turns only for 2-3 turns before stopping again. I found the rubber coming off of the bottom roller and it seems hard to turn. Is there an overload fuse in the motor or anywhere else that resets itself ?

What other issues can cause this ? The reason I do not suspect the motor is that it is able to do a couple of turns when it first starts up. There is quite a bit of debris in the dryer, can this cause this kind of a problem ?

Miele PW6065 Heater Element

Thu, 17 May 2012 07:33:30 +0000

Does anyone know of a 3rd party source for purchasing a Miele heater element? I'm trying to make out the numbers from the fragments that are left. Here is what I have:
ND x EC xNN 230v 2300W 090606 x 511759 (the remainder is broken away)

This is twice the voltage/wattage of the 'spare' element for my w1903.

It is for an industrial model pw6065 machine that I recently picked up for a song off kijiji. Electronically it seemed fine when I bought it and the previous owner didn't mention any issues (they bought a larger, industrial machine for the farm). Alas, when I pulled the front panel to inspect/clean it, I found a rather nasty collection of burnt wires that should have connected to the heater element, if the latter hadn't disintegrated. There are two elements in ever Miele I've disassembled so they may not have known, but I cannot imagine the thermal cutoff sensor was in working order either, given the melted plastic connector and they crispy wires. I found much of the element, in the rubber hose connecting the drum drain to the pump. From the looks of things, this wasn't a recent failure.
