Are you located in the US? My research shows a new switch is part# 113633 with the superseded part# 4161202. I don't show anything for a 115465. https://www.ebay.com/itm/155481475384 Edit: Just saw it's a KDC-17A, that's a 115506 superseded to a 4161441. I only see one switch available at a...

It's not due to a specific make or model, it's the highly flammable R600 refrigerant used in modern refrigerators that's the problem.

Relatively significant boom. R600 and other modern refrigerants are (theoretically) easier on the environment but your refrigerator/freezer/auto is now a potential bomb. YAY for progress!

I assume this is for testing a 1-18?

I think the leak may be from the previous attempt if it's yellow. These machines will leak a bit after it's put together correctly from a previous leak/incorrect assembly. Run it and keep an eye on the leak to make sure it's not continuing or getting worse.

Make sure the screw for the spring washers is tight. Not so tight that it strips the screw, but definitely tight. You won't flatten out the spring washers, don't worry about that. The screw needs to be tight for the spring washers to properly do their job and the key washer to stay firmly in place.

The coils ice up pretty fast without a functional heater, keep an eye on freezer temps and have a hair blow dryer on standby if they start climbing again. Been there, done that with my old 2005 GE SxS fridge a few times.

You'll have to explain your lifestyle a bit more. Any pets? Work/Hobbies include getting really dirty? GE Filter Flo will use the most water (about 50 gallons a cycle without a second deep rinse). Good for cleaning extremely dirty clothes and pet hair. Probably the hardest of all washers to...

The key washer? Make sure the key washer is properly indexed, it may have not been indexed or seated properly and shifted. The impeller retaining screw should not have backed off, it may have been loose or became loose if the key washer shifted. It's probably fine now that everything is lined...

they need to improve their quality checks in the factories to prevent bad products from being shipped out and do a better job either A) responding to failure trends of components and B) stop saving 50 cents on components that may fail 3x faster (this is a generalization, I know, but the point...

This topic was brought up back in April when the video was first released, it's only 7 months old. Ben is a Platinum member of this forum under the name of mrstickball and everything he stated in this video is definitely accurate. In my opinion from being on other appliance forums, Whirlpool is...

I use an IR gun and try to get a balanced temp in all areas. You'll quickly find there are warmer and cooler areas within the interior space, especially the doors.

That's one of many concerns, especially on ice. Braking hard on ice will cause the vehicle to spin end for end. How will it respond in heavy rain and hydroplaning? Read the manual in all vehicles with cruise control and it explains why using it strictly prohibited in the rain. Are self driving...

I'm leery about Waymos driving in areas with relatively little rain and no snow/ice. I can't imagine these things driving around in the north under those conditions, including whiteout conditions. I see injuries and death involved with these.
