Hi Appliantology Community, I’m a recent graduate of the Appliantology Core Appliance Repair course and am currently working through advanced modules (e.g., refrigeration, washer/dryer, stove/oven repair, etc.). I’m eager to gain hands-on experience and apply what I’ve learned. I’m looking for an experienced technician in the Dallas area who would be open to letting me shadow them on weekends and/or evenings. My goal is to learn the ropes and gain real-world experience to complement my training. I’m detail-oriented, committed, and open to transitioning to part-time work once I’ve gained more experience. If you’re open to mentoring or know someone who might be, I’d love to connect. Please feel free to send me a message to discuss further. Thank you, Ryan

Maytag MHW5500FW1 front load washer acting like somebody is holding the buttons down. Accepts user input while randomly changing other options. ON/Off reactive touch button does not work. Dial acting as on/off as well as it's normal duties sort of. Will start cycle then beep trying to change options, may finish cycle or not. Also acts like the Delay Start button is constantly pressed cycling thru 1hr -12hr delay steps. Removed and inspected the User Interface, wiped down but was clean and dry, no improvement. Thank you.

When I touch the filter status button I get an ERR on the display. Have removed/replaced the filter a couple times same result. Can't seem to get it to reset.

Needs a new transmission - main seal has let water seep through and ruin the upper bearing in the transmission, (only available as a complete transmission that also comes with a new main seal). Unless you are replacing the transmission yourself at a price of around $200 for the part then it most likely wouldn't be worth repairing. https://www.appliancepartspros.com/whirlpool-gearcase-w11454741-ap6993917.html

@Robert Couchman Both of the capacitors next to what you think is a bridge rectifier look like the ends are bulging out, (sign of a bad capacitor). The top of the capacitor should be flat and able to see the stress relief lines in the top like you see on the smaller capacitors.

But what about the really loud sound on spin cycle. It’s like a jet engine in our laundry room (very loud).

Here you go:

I hope I'm following protocol here, I had a thread going about the defroster problem which is now I believe solved but on the way there I ran into a new problem. While I was waiting for the defrost heater sensor replacement to arrive, I pulled the cover off the back of the refrigerator. Anticipating that I might have to replace the control board if this part didn't do the job. At some point with the defrost heater still disconnected. I imagine I could plug the refrigerator in and get the fridge section to cool down saving my food from completely warming up. The minute I plugged the unit in there was some arcing on what I now know is the compressor control board. I waited until the replacement part. That is the defrost heater. Temperature sensor arrived, reinstalled it and then again plug the unit in and again there was arcing on this board. I removed the board. Looks to me like it's a rectifier full wave rectifier and the arcing. Is that the top of the board as you're looking at it from my troubleshooting experience? It's rare that there are two concurrent problems, but that appears to be the case. I can't think of anything that I did along the way to cause this bridge rectifier to fail. I'm actually thinking that I can procure the bridge rectifier and replace it on the board, but I'm open to suggestions. It looks like it's a pretty common board available on Amazon and other places. The illustrated replacement boards lack the second cap that appears on the upper right section of this board. The board number is itrp 04bx1.a. thanks for your help

@Mr. Fox6000 You can try replacing ADP51B62M02 Piezoresistive Sensor on Washing Machine Control Board. If that issue is fixed with this part no need to buy new control board. Here is the part link please double-check before buying with the supplier. https://bens-appliances.com/products/adp51b62m02-piezoresistive-sensor-for-washing-machine-control-board Thank you

Thanks, Captain!
