    Just a quick followup after daily-driving these bad boys for a few months. Eh. About a month ago, I started getting weird excessive and intermittent resistance on one or both. It varied so much, and I didn't sit down to systematically test to see which one (red or black) was acting up. They still worked fine for 120VAC measurements, but low VDC or resistance measurements got pretty janky Today, I killed the red one for good, donezo. I was testing a cold ctrl. on a Whirlpool SxS. I saw that I had 120VAC across the cold ctrl set to the coldest setting with a warm box, so 100% bad cold ctrl. To save a few seconds, to jump it out, I left the piercing probes in and just jumped the two together with a banana plug. I momentarily saw a bright flash inside the red plastic, then it went open-circuit. I know using piecing probes to handle compressor starting current is asking a lot, but I know for certain I've done this before with other piercing probes I've used, and never had a problem. I may do a postmortem on the red probe to see where the magic smoke escaped. Might be interesting to open up the black one too. Put that on the TODO list

    The video immediately above, in the post dated Nov 4, the machine is agitating before you stop it, advance the timer, and restart ... correct? The transmission (properly) goes into neutral drain when restarting (motor reversal) for drain immediately after agitation. It requires a 2nd stop and restart (in the same reverse motor direction) to release the neutral drain hold for spin to occur. If you let the timer advance normally from the last agitation increment, to the (2 mins) drain increment, and then to the next increment for spin ... is there a momentary motor pause on BOTH the advance from agitate to drain AND from drain to spin? If not, then there's your non-spin problem source ... the timer isn't stopping the motor for a 2nd pause between neutral drain and spin. If there IS a 2nd pause, then the problem apparently is in the transmission with the neutral drain pack or some such.

    I may be wrong on this ... but ... Are you counting the LEDs from left-to-right or right-to-left? Each LED represents a binary value, doubling from 1 at the first LED to 128 at the eighth. Add the values to get the Fault Code. I'm assuming you're counting from left-to-right, as per thus. Fault 49 is bad cold valve. I recall that the control board checks the valve circuits at connection to power, which is why it displays the fault when the machine isn't running. Could also be that both valves are bad, being that as I recall Fault 49 may take precedence over Fault 50 (which is the hot valve) if both faults are occurring. =================================================================================The correct direction to count the LEDs is right-to-left (for increasing binary values) ... but that gives Fault 140 (for 3rd, 4th, and 8th LEDs). Fault 140 doesn't exist ... which is why I assume you're counting in the wrong direction as above.

    Samsung Washer WF431ABP/XAA01 SERVICE MANUAL

    Son of Samurai replied to Jakes Repair Service's topic in Appliance Service Manual Requests Forum

    We have the mini manual here: This manual looks to be very close -- @Captain Dunsel or @Vance R, is there an exact service manual out there for this model?

    Sounds like a bad (shorted/stuck) rinse selector switch or possibly a timer. A quick look on searparts website shows the timer and all but one of the selector switches are no longer available anyway. It doesn't show which switch is which, so as you are looking at the unit from the front left, which switch is the rinse selector? If that switch only controls the extra rinse and nothing else, you could try unplugging the connector to it and see if that stops the extra rinse, but without a wiring diagram and an ohm meter to check the correct switch contacts or to know what wire to unplug, it's just guessing. Might just need to keep using it as is and just feel better knowing your clothes are getting all the soap rinsed out of them!

    Whirlpool Washer Not Starting

    Jedi450 replied to Jedi450's topic in DIY Appliance Repair Help

    My Whirlpool 4.5 Cu. Ft Top Load Agitator Washer with Built-In Faucet (serial number: WTW5015LW0 CC1300750 recently stopped working. When I have a load in it, I press and hold the start button and I hear the lock clicking then the tub turns three or four times and then it stops working and goes to FINISHED. I open the lid before it stops spinning and the lid opens (indicating the lock wasn't actually locking) so I replaced the lock. That didn't work. Now, I try to put it into diagnostic mode and it won't accept the code. Any help would be appreciated.

    Kenmore 110 20912991, 90 series, top load washer. With switch set to one rinse, the washer started doing second rinse. Does this suggest bad timer, or bad rinse selector switch. I sprayed contact cleaner on switches.... did not help. Other than this, washer works well and is not a rust bucket. It had a new transmission about 2 or 3 years ago. Am not in a position to afford a new washer now. Any ideas would be helpful, please.

    Hi: This refrigerator is a rebadged Whirlpool. Purchased mine around 2014. My brother has the same fridge, but under the Jennair badge. Bosch door seal part number is 00713448. The door seals failed and I need two. The refrigerator works fine. Each part is approx $250 across various part sites. If I could get the Whirlpool or other equivalent model numbers that match this Bosch, could I possibly find the part cheaper? Spending $500+ or more on refrigerator door seals is ridiculous. Looking for input on whether what I'm asking for is event feasible. If anyone knows the Whirlpool or other non Bosch equivalent of this model, I can look around myself. Any advance someone could give would be appreciated. Thank you all in advance.

    Kitchenaid KDTM404KPS F9E1 error

    APPLIANCE DEAN replied to dishwasherguy's topic in DIY Appliance Repair Help

    I have seen an issue where the wash filter connected to the wash motor will get clogged with food and the unit will still drain but throw and error code because it is taking longer than designed to to drain. I will typically check that wash filter to see if it is clogged with a draining issue or washing issue on this unit. You can take the drain hose off of the sump and look inside to see if the filter is dirty.
