Kitchen Aid KERC607HBS0 Range

feeds@yuku.com (Cty Chicken) — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 19:00:24 GMT

I have a Kitchen Aid KERC607HBSO Range with a touch pad and four top elements. The dual burner element nut that held the knob came loose causing the ignitor switch to drop down and make contact with the metal tray. As a result there was a spark and the touch panel went dead, I checked the circuit breaker downstairs just to be sure (all OK) and I replaced the two thermal fuses on the oven. No luck the panel will not turn on, does anyone have any ideas? Is there another fuse that I am...

Whirlpool Quietwash DOESN'T WASH AS WELL AS IT DID WHEN NEW.

DU8700xy-1 it's about 12 years old. Whirl Pool Quiet wash
It fills drains and runs through cycles "as best that I can tell properly". BUT the dishes just don't come as clean as they used to.
When I first got it I would run it on light wash and everything was very clean NOW I run it on normal wash every time.

i have a old belt driven whirlpool washer and today one of the plungers broke, it also did come damage to the cam bar. ive already taken off the plungers but dont know how hard its going to be to remove the agitate cam bar, i also figured id replace the other bar on the other side. i can see a bolt that looks like its holding a spring plate across each bar. do i just remove it and then each bar will pull out. ive tried searching the internet on this subject and found this site and figured id...

Roper Washing Machine Looks Like My Maytag LAT8005AAE

feeds@yuku.com (smata67) — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 15:53:57 GMT

I spotted a current model Roper at Lowes and the control panel looks just like my new to me 14 year old maytag-- same knobs and functions in the same location. Are the controls the same on these two? Any other parts also similar? How is Roper for reliability. My guess is that these bare bone type washing machines may be old technology and the most reliable. Is this a good assumption?

GE Auger Motor Not Turning

feeds@yuku.com (kgb9251) — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 11:46:21 GMT

I have a GE PSS26SGRBSS Refrigerator. The auger motor stopped working. I replaced the control board which did not solve the problem. I've replaced the motor, which again did not solve the problem. The machine makes ice, I can manually turn the auger and I have a green light indicator on the inside of the freezer on the ice maker. Any help is appreciated.

Whirlpool dryer won't dry

feeds@yuku.com (tjt100) — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 15:48:47 GMT

Hi
I have a whirlpool gas dryer model # LGR5636J08. Clothes are not getting completely dry. Usually about once a year I have to replace the ignition coil set so I changed them today but that didn't help. The ignitor comes on and the flame ignites but goes out after a short time. The timer continues to move but the clothes are still damp. Could a thermostat have gone bad? I appreciate your help, your the best

I have an admiral washer model aav7000aww.
When it is in wash mode it squeeks because the drum trys to spin.

Maytag LAT9416AAE Moving It and Checkout

feeds@yuku.com (smata67) — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 07:49:21 GMT

I'm getting this washer and matching dryer (not sure of the model number) used from a trusted source. Is it okay to set the washer on its back for transportation? Also, I have a dolly, will I be fine moving it with a dolly? I plan on slipping the dolly in from the back and tilting the front up.
Are there any known issues for this model I should be looking out for? Thanks!

bosch dishwasher problem

feeds@yuku.com (mnewto1) — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 04:07:47 GMT

Hi,
I'm trying to find a test cycle for my bosch SHV5 5M03 GB/55. The problem is that the last time I used it, the machine never stopped. It just kept trying to pump out the water at the end of the cycle. When I opened the door there was no water left.
I have checked the spraybars, sump, pump housing and blades for gunge etc. but found nothing untoward. I have checked there is water available, and also filled the bottom with hot water and it pumps it out. I read in one of the...

Whirlpool Modular icemaker won't dump ice

It cycles when I test it but when ice freezes it starts to cycle but about 1/2 way it gets jamed, the only way I can get it tocomplete cycle is to melt the ice a little with a blow dryer and then it completes cycycle as normal

What direction should my condenser fan blow?

feeds@yuku.com (Nick Danger) — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 11:26:42 GMT

Sears Kenmore 363.9738510 refrigerator. Freezer on top. I removed the fan blades from the condenser fan to remove a knot of hairs from the shaft. I'm not sure that I put them back on the right way.

Should air be sucked in from the front of the fridge, across the condenser coils, and exhausted out the back?

Kenmore timer problem

feeds@yuku.com (skyaugen) — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 04:37:37 GMT

I have a Kenmore gas dryer model # 97478100 serial # MC4408300.

My dryer will only run to completion when I set the timer to 10 min. or autodry. If I set for any other time it will not start and run.

Do I need to just replace the timer unit?

Thanks, Chris

whining GE Profile PSW25

feeds@yuku.com (fixit) — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 06:41:05 GMT

I purchased (in July 2004) a GE Profile model PSW25MSRA SS (SN HG429608). After 2 years, i noticed a slight whine that progressed to an obnoxious level and finally had the Freezer and refrig motor replaced 3/07. Two years later, same problem again. Whining is loud and keeps me up at night. Do I need new motors every 2 years? This is a very loud and irritating noise.

Maytag MFW9700S Q0 won't start!

feeds@yuku.com (chb) — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 17:33:43 GMT

Hi! I have a 3 year old Maytag washer that appears to let you set the wash but when you shut the door and hit the 'start' button to begin the cycle nothing happens. The control panel isn't locked. The door has a pretty minor crack in it but it doesn't look like it should impede the start process. Perhaps I am wrong. Can anyone help me? Thank you.
