  4. An interesting topic came up here in the Appliantology forums a little while back: The tech was working on an electric dryer that was DOA -- no lights, no response to button presses. He put his multimeter to the LoZ setting (as you should always do when making AC voltage measurements!), and he started checking for the power supply to the appliance at the terminal block. Here's what he got: L1 to N: 0 VAC L2 to N: 120 VAC L1 to L2: 20 VAC -- and while the meter leads are held on L1 and L2, the dryer UI lights up! Huh? What's going on here, both with the strange voltage reading from L1 to L2, and with the dryer coming to life while that voltage measurement is being taken? Let's crack out the schematic and find out. Here's the dryer schematic with the power supply to the board marked up. As you can see, the board's power supply is L1 and Neutral. There's no switch in either Line or Neutral going to the board -- the board is hardwired to its power supply. That, combined with the fact that, even when we measure at the terminal block, we get 0 VAC from L1 to Neutral, seems to indicate that we're missing L1, probably due to an open in the wall outlet or the house wiring. But how then is the board coming to life during our L1 to L2 voltage measurement? Well, let's look at what we're doing on the schematic when we perform that voltage measurement. How does connecting the meter like this cause the board to come to life? It's because we are connecting L2 to the L1 side of the circuit through the loading meter. Here's a simplified drawing of what's happening: We are effectively creating a series circuit with the loading meter and the control board. This also explains the weird voltage reading we got measuring from L1 to L2 -- that's how much voltage was being dropped across the loading meter. This is what that circuit looks like, drawn out as a line diagram. So there you have it -- a weird problem with whacky symptoms that turns out to have a simple solution! All of this came from a missing L1 at the wall outlet, the kind of thing you can easily catch by taking a measurement right at the outlet with a loading meter. Want to get in on the action?

  17. I have a vintage General Electric “Three Speed Filter-Flo Washer 14” with “Infinite Water Level” and an “Assister” agitator which bottom ring is broken (see pictures below). Can’t find model number to look for compatible parts as I think model plate has been removed. The Assistor seems to work fine on the spin cycle, but hardly moves during wash cycle unless significant downward hand pressure is applied. Therefore presume / hope the broken plastic ring which is at the bottom of the Assistor Assembly is the problem and is an easy cheap fix. Can anyone visually identify model and / or compatible Assistor Assembly replacement ring and my presumption that the broken ring is the problem?
  18. I don't see the tech sheet for the gas model 110.77082600 Update: Found it on page 106 here.

    Whirlpool WSZ57L18DM04 Freezer Tech Sheet

    It's the right tech sheet from servicematters!
  21. Sorry guys, I've had to take off and reload my pdf viewer. I think this is the right tech sheet.
  22. I am a field technician and best I can tell this is an air leak issue. Have not been able to narrow it down. I taped off the dispenser, replaced the icing kit, replaced the board, all the dampers (2 lower ones failed anyways) I'm seeing the same thing with the ice build up in the return vent. My question would be for those of you who have done the styrofoam modification to allow more air are you having any issues with the drain tube freezing up? I've sealed up every nook and cranny I can see with refrigerator gum and silicone and the problem persists. I'm left believing that even though the doors appear to be sealing they are the issue. Any thoughts?
  23. I don't understand why the controls are different. Those are the same controls as the first download. Not the controls on this machine.

  26. Manufacturer: Maytag Type of Appliance: Freezer Model Number: MZF34X16DW06 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 guess i posted this in the wrong section prior. I need service Manuel. I got one i would consider close but the buttons are different. Downloaded MZF34X16DW01 I need MZF34X16DW06 Need to get into diagnosis mode.
