repair manual needed Ge refrig pye22kynhfs
a1jackc posted a topic in Appliance Service Manual Requests Forum
Manufacturer: ge Type of Appliance: refrigerator Model Number: pye22kynhfs Have you validated the model number at an online parts site like Repair Clinic? (yes or no): yes Have you watched the video on how to search for manuals and have you searched the Downloads section prior to posting this request? (yes or no): yes I have seen the tech sheet. I was wondering if there is a manual for this. I am running into the same problem I ran into a while ago, temps higher in FF section than set. Freezer fine. Apparently there are a few types on touch controls for these refrigerators and I don't know the difference. Appreciate any help -

As vee8 said, OEM parts are always best. If those are OEM parts you linked to, then great, but many sellers on Amazon will list parts as being OEM even with the OEM picture when they really aren't. Buying from an authorized appliance parts distributor, like Marcone for example, and you will get genuine factory oem parts. Do not use any lubricant on the idler, rollers, bearing or shaft surfaces as it will just attract lint and dirt and lead to premature part failure. Cleaning with a solvent based lubricant is fine as it leaves no oily residue. Just clean the shafts well if not replacing them and wipe off all the residue. I usually replace the idler arm linkage (with the idler pulley and shaft already attached) on older machines as the shaft can develop uneven and worn surfaces, especially if it's already been squeaking, but if the idler still turns freely and the shaft isn't worn you can just replace the pulley.

Service Manuel Request
Son of Samurai replied to Rich Armstrong's topic in Appliance Service Manual Requests Forum
Bummer! Wish I had more info for you. -
hamhock75 started following Working on a Samsung DW80M9960US dishwasher.
-
I picked up a non-working Samsung DW80M9960US dishwasher off Craigslist in September for $20 to learn how modern dishwashers work. My last dishwasher was a Bosch Evolution 800 series which is still working fine at over 20 years of age. The Samsung had been given to the person selling it on Craigslist who gave up working on it. I was told that the waterwall motor was no good. Unfortunately, to get to the motor the prior owner broke one of the waterwall spray arms, lost all the screws holding the waterwall arms and the distributor/waterwall motor assembly, lost the microswitch and screw to the distributor motor. I have the hardware, broken parts, and microswitch on order. The Samsung turns on. It tries to move the waterwall vane. The vane moves to the rearmost position then stops. It then seems to try to move the vane to rear several more times even though the vane is already at the rear. Then it just goes quiet with no further sounds. The "power" button light, cycle LED, time display, and the LED that is under the door handle stays on. I do have both the service and operating manuals but waiting for parts

Service Manuel Request
Rich Armstrong replied to Rich Armstrong's topic in Appliance Service Manual Requests Forum
@Son of Samurai That’s to bad there wasn’t enough information to come up with an answer. -
Permatex Ultra Slick?

this instead https://ishort.ink/zwMS as OEM,

solvent lubricant such as? hadn't thought about the tub rollers. OK. I'll re-order OEM. from the vids I've watched, it looks like the drum weighs >30. Is that so?
-
That is a downgrade compared to OEM parts. I would use the OEM part #4392067 on that dryer rather than knock off parts from amazon sellers. The 4392067 comes with the belt , 4 rollers, and the idler wheel. The idler arm isn't needed that often. More important than parts, though, is how good you do the job. I make sure all the hair is gone from around the shafts, wipe the hair varnish from the shafts using a solvent based spray ubricant, wipe them dry and install the new wheels.

The linkage is that 90° metal arm that the idler pulley is already attached to. It looks like they're giving you an extra idler pulley for some reason as well. I'd still replace the cylinder rollers while I was in there.

Kitchenaid KDTM404KPS F9E1 error
hamhock75 replied to dishwasherguy's topic in DIY Appliance Repair Help
I had a similar problem with an LG. Pouring water in the tub and using the manual drain function it would always work. During a cycle it did drain but gave a drain error. This was the difference. During manual drain, it had no time limit to drain. During a cycle the drain time is on a timer. If it was still draining even though there was almost no water left when the timer expired, the error would occur. The problem was a failing drain pump which was too slow draining even though it was almost done when the clock ran out. -

[Free] Troubleshooting Old-Skool Dryer Auto Heat Circuits
Son of Samurai posted a topic in Featured Free Workshop
We hope you enjoy this free workshop and that it helps make you a better appliance tech. This workshop will be available to the public for free through this month. After that, we'll remove this one and post a new free featured workshop selected from our vast repository of appliance repair training workshop videos. If you're currently a professional appliance repair tech, these workshop videos will improve your understanding of electric circuits and appliance technology and up your troubleshooting game. If you're a DIYer or considering getting into the appliance repair trade (great choice!), these workshops will kick your training into high gear. If you would like a more structured, step-by-step, training experience, enroll today at the Master Samurai Tech Appliance Repair School. One of the benefits of enrolling at Master Samurai Tech is that you get a free 6-month professional membership here at Appliantology which gives you access to all the workshops, the tech forums, and the service manual downloads. If you get certified in our Core Appliance Repair Training Course, you get a free annual professional membership at Appliantology. See details on this page. Now, on to the workshop! ---------- Back in the olden days, they had to make some surprisingly complicated circuits to build dryers with automatic drying cycles. While we may not see as many of these computer board-less dryers anymore, we can learn a lot by analyzing the way these circuits work. They teach us all kinds of troubleshooting and electrical principles that are valuable for working on any machine. That's why we looked at a couple of these old-skool dryers in this latest workshop, covering topics like: How cycling bimetals affect their circuits Bias heaters and biased bimetals Series and parallel circuits Dropping resistors Running 120 loads on 240 power ...and more! -

this is the "kit" I ordered. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09CLZDGT2?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title What is the linkage?
-
That unit has a broken belt switch so it won't let it run if there's no tension on the idler, which engages the switch. Not sure if that would prevent it from going into diagnostic mode or not but yeah, at 22 years I'd replace the belt, rollers, and idler pulley/ linkage as well.

press cycle, display shows and flashes with door open. Won't run. Can't get into diagnostic mode with: Select any one button (except Pause/Cancel) and follow the steps below, using the same button (remember the button): a. Press/hold 2 seconds b. Release for 2 seconds c. Press/hold 2 seconds d. Release for 2 seconds e. Press/hold 2 seconds or back and forth for 2 secs each: more time/less time. turns out belt is broken. I see numerous sellers of the belt have a "kit" that includes "upgraded" pulley wheels with "better" bearings. Best to do belt and pulley at the same time? The dryer is 22yo.
