Bosch gas range - broiler problem

feeds@yuku.com (12amw) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 08:58:33 GMT

Bosch gas range - HGS7282
Broiler igniter "glows" and burner element will produce small blue flame, however broiler will not ignite on its own - it will only ignite if oven is pre-warmed through baking mode. Once broiler is on, it does not produce adequate heat.

Kenmore 110.82873120 won't spin

feeds@yuku.com (Tedrick) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 17:41:22 GMT

Wondering what else the problem could be. Our Kenmore washing machine quit spinning. Following the instructions from "Direct Drive Washer - won't spin service aid," I've replaced the drive coupling and the clutch assembly. One 'ear' on the white plastic clutch piece that is supposed to release the brake was snapped off, so I thought replacing that fixed it. After reassembly, did a test, and the machine is doing the same thing. The wash cycle seems to work...

Water Heater Temperature Varies Widely

feeds@yuku.com (jimmm) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 16:05:40 GMT

We have a fairly new (2 years) water heater. It has begun to vary widely in temperature. Sometimes (after a long period of no use) the water is fairly cool. While taking a shower we have to use hot water only. Other times (also after a long period of no use) it seems to be the correct temperature which is about 120 F.

I don't think it did this when new. What could be causing this?

GE dishwasher drain hose connection

feeds@yuku.com (rsjane) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 18:02:32 GMT

I am installing a new GE dishwasher (model #GLD4500R00BB) and the drain hose that came with the dishwasher says it fits 5/8 and 1" waste tees. As I already had a dishwasher my current plumbing is 1 1/2 ABS with a 1/2" waste tee. Can I use my existing 1/2" waste tee with the supplied drain hose cut down to the 5/8 " size and clamped in position?

I have already been to two home centers and all of the waste tees are 1/2, but all of the drain hoses are 1",...

Kitchen aid gas cook top. Model #KGCT305BWHZ or 2 Does not stop sparking.

feeds@yuku.com (raidencmc) — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 13:37:28 GMT

When I use this cook top sometimes the spark contiues after it ignites and other times it stops. From what I understand it automatically stops when the burner ignites. 3 of the 4 burners work ok but not great. The 4th sparks continuously.

2 burners won't spark. Model Number: MGR4452BDW Brand: Maytag Appliance Age: 1 - 5 years

feeds@yuku.com (raidencmc) — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 14:09:41 GMT

I am guessing on the age it came with my house and could be as old as 8 years. The burners on the right side both spark and light. The 2 on the left don't. Originally the left front did not spark as much as the others but it did spark and light. Usually it took a while and a big flame at first. We just stopped using it. I then noticed that the rear left one began acting up. And eventually we stopped using it but it pretty much did the same as the front one. One day I was cooking in the...

fridgidaire dryer making scraping and screaching sound

feeds@yuku.com (sandijam) — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 12:48:20 GMT

the drum seems to be off (not tight when I roll it around). makes a high pitch sound everytime it goes around but only after it is warmed up. also makes scraping sound.

I replaced the drum felt seal last year and it worked for a while.

should I replace it again or buy new dryer? could anything else be wrong with it also?

also have you heard of "anti vibration" feet that go under the washer feet? my washer/dryer are stackable and on the second floor...

My KitchenAid KUDI01ILWH6 dishwasher has a noisy whine. I removed the screw on the inlet protector, but can't get the inlet protector off to clean out the chopper assembly. Is there a secret to its removal?

Maytag Side by Side Refidgerator Ice Maker Issue

feeds@yuku.com (jondean72) — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 09:58:31 GMT

I have a maytag side by side refridgerator. I replaced the water filter last week and since the repalcement, the ice maker will not fill with water. Water can be dispensed via the water dispenser in the door. The ice maker is operational (it cylces through on a regular basis), but no water will fill the tray. When touching the bottom of the ice maker it seems very hot. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Kenmore 110.60982990 even heat dryer, no heat.. have checked everything that i know

feeds@yuku.com (zx7king) — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 09:57:43 GMT

Hello all,

I have a Kenmore 110.60982990 even heat dryer that is not producing heat. The symptoms started a while ago where the dryer worked fine (heat was fine) but would stop in the middle of the timed dry cycle and we would have to restart it. Now we just get no heat. I have done lots of searching and found the tech sheet and have checked a few things but wanted to ask the experts if i am checking them correctly. Here is what i have checked:

Is there any suggestions what to do @ this point?
Thank you.

New style WPL lid switch harness plug melted

feeds@yuku.com (fyxxez) — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 17:56:40 GMT

Got a call from a co-worker to investigate intermittent operation of his newer direct drive WPL washer. It has the newer style lid switch that is to the left under the console activated by the hinge. Part # 8318084. The black plug from the machines harness was sort of melted and crispy. I was able to get it on a new switch but wonder if there is some kit/pigtail replacement or a procedure for replacing a toasted plug?
Oh and hello Jeff!...
