Then would anyone like the red Frigidaire (by GM) refrigerator that we have been unable to repair? This is a cabin in the woods in the middle of nowhere. I don't live there, it is extremely difficult to schedule repairs, and typically when someone does show up they cannot fix it and have to...

What did I take apart? I took apart the inside of the dishwasher - the only part you can take apart from the inside, where the drain and tower/sprayer are. I took everything out down to bare metal bottom of the tub. I could see the drain hole - nothing appeared to be stuck in it.

I did take the entire thing apart from the inside and found nothing blocking the drain. Any idea on that dishwasher where the drain solenoid is located? The mouse was way up high, not near the drain. And line power OPENS the solenoid? Thanks - not my area of expertise.

Well, I will be opening the place up again soon. Wondering if anyone has any other suggestions for how to fix this thing? Should I just buy a new/used one off of Craigslist?

Did that. Cleaned contacts with a toothbrush. No luck.

So how do you fix a shorted out drain valve?

You'll have to turn your head clockwise or screen counter clockwise to see the mouse pic properly. Sorry, at least it's clear.

No more squirty/sudsy/washy.... I can see the water going in from the side of the now open to the world (since my old fridge failed) dishwasher. But I can also hear the water being sucked straight down the drain (and the drain gets warm). I had a mouse get in there and was electrocuted on...

Dishwasher now dead Some of you commented on the Kitchenaid dishwasher in the pics. Well, it stopped working. It's now running water straight down the drain. I did find a dead mouse sitting on some wires/contacts, but not sure how long he's been there. I'm sure he had something to do with...

Unfortunately, the fan housing cracked and broke while he worked on it. The red fridge is dead. Long live the red fridge.

Well, it did not fix it. With the new motor(s) the fan is rubbing inside the housing. I think the housing or fan itself has warped due to it overheating. We tried to sand down the surfaces without success. I let the repair guy take the fan assembly home to work on, hopefully he can figure...

No I haven't replaced it yet. This is a cabin up north with no mailing address so I had to ship the eBay purchases to my home downstate. I'll be back up here in about a month. I unplugged the fridge. It was only getting the freezer down to about 19° no longer going to zero like it did a couple...

:(. 22F in freezer. Fridge is now room temp. :(

Well, again this AM the ice Is not completely frozen. Ice tray shelf is at the top of rhe freezer. Freezer temp is 20F. What the heck. I did fiddle with the freezer temp knob, it's on "N" (middle setting). It's just a diverter. But if the fan isn't working where is that "cold" going?

Thanks goatfarmer. So do you think it will work if I get a good motor? I hope so. Hate to throw any more money at this if not.
