    Does anyone know a fix for this?

    Seems common, but nobody has posted a fix.

    Electrical question

    Based on this gas oven diagram: 120v-A-ignitor-B-gas valve-C-Neutral (A,B,C are just test points) Meter set to volts, I get 120v across the igniter A to B. What do I get B to C, across the gas valve?

    Consumer Reports

    Techs put a stock in Consumer Reports reviews, but I think you have to treat them with a lot of suspicion. Here are some thoughts about the issue... 1. They will compare two machines made by the same brand that are essentially the same, and then say that one is better than to other. 2. They...

    auto defrost history

    I am curious if fan-driven cooling and the automatic defrost system with timer and heater that we know today came about simultaneously. In other words, before that time, there was no traditional auto defrost, and no fan for cooling, but just an evaporator structure of some sort. Then the...

    Pscs5rgxcfss GE SxS cooling question

    Customer complained of two issues: fan chattering on housing on left side (I accessed it and pushed it down) and poor cooling on right side. I did witness fan running on right side when I accessed it, but wasn't able to get it to run continuously or figure out what factors must be in place for...

    washer help please

    So I am working on a GE laundry system model GUD27ESSJ1WW. The problem is that when set to hot water wash, the washer will fill with hot water, but as soon as the lid is closed, it switches to cold until filled. Open lid is hot, closed lid is cold. The hoses aren't swapped. I checked on Google...

    Swash

    I was able to use some Swash concentrated laundry detergent today on a load of wash in my fabulous Speed Queen TC5. The bottle has a regulated dispense mechanism inside; you turn it upside down and squeeze and it stops when the portion is dispensed. I can' say his stuff is memorable. The laundry...

    What is the worst?

    So the Tappan Dual Drench was the worst dishwasher ever made in America. What would you say is the worst washing machine? Worst dryer? Maybe the worst refrigerator? I am not looking for an exact model number, but more like the name of the machine. For example, I would vote the Kenmore/WP Calypso...

    Dishwasher memory

    I wonder if anyone can help me ID a dishwasher that we had in our home in the mid to late 60s. What made it unique, iirc, was that instead of a lower spray arm, there was a long tube that went from the back to the front. It sat in a depression in the floor and would somehow pick up water and...

    Opinions please

    This is a motor/tranny view of a common VMW washer, model mvwc565fw0. You can see that there has been oil leakage. A buddy is convinced that the oil comes from motor, and says that the tranny doesn't have oil in it. I have always thought that the tranny is the source of the oil. What is your...

    Refrigerator review, WRFF3436RZ00, WP french door

    I have had this refrigerator for a few months now, and want to share my experience. I wanted a Whirlpool because I felt the most comfortable fix it if necessary in the future. I chose away from GE because of reliance on SmartHQ and their chipped water filters which really chafe me. I looked at...

    Range cleaning

    I have a new Samsung gas range. Since it is self cleaning, they say not to use chemicals to clean it. I would like to use Easy Off on the floor of the oven. Opinions?

    Giving away tools...

    I have some tools that I just don't use anymore. If anyone is interested, please let me know. For the Maytag tool, I don't know if I have the round black attachment, but I will look some more. [this post was last edited: 5/4/2025-19:43]

    LFID2459VF1A question

    Frigidaire dw LFID2459VF1A, customer says it is stuck in drain mode, which I think means that some water got to a float switch. I dry it up. Then what? Am I on the right track? I have worked on only a few of these units.

    What contributed to the end of Mayag?

    Please tell me what contributed to the end of Maytag. I can imagine that reworking the Neptunes had something to do with it. I liked their washers, even the the last ones.
