Refrigerator & Freezer Repair / Re: LG Fridge or Freezer not cooling, compressor and valve changed

« Last post by dolanjasons74 on November 28, 2021, 07:56:51 PM »

That model has a history of problems the yoder tube rusts around the doors and gets pinhole leaks and so does the evaporator coil in the upper box the aluminum gets pinholes as well as the epoxy joint where they joined copper to aluminum tubing. Also heard the condenser coil which is steel painted black rusts out from sitting in the water tray by the compressor.

There is a nice french door at Lowes made by Hisense for 1300 and Best Buy sells same fridge under their house brand Insignia for around the same price.

Hello... I checked the issue you gave. I also own lowes. They suggested I get a new one. Can I really do something to repair it?

Dryer Repair / Whirlpool Duet electric dryer model WED94HEXW0 with s/n M04314865

« Last post by Thorning on November 28, 2021, 12:57:18 PM »

I was given this dryer by a friend  who was going to scrap it since it would not run. I hooked it up to power and tried to get it to run or to go into the diagnostic mode with no success. The panel lights all operate but I cannot get it to go into the diagnostic mode . I did get it to attempt to start but all it would do is produce a slight click in the control board and nothing else .Before I take it apart to check for obvious things is this model prone to have control board problems. ? Any suggestions from other techs ?

I confirmed with an LG technician this board cannot be updated. I had to change the main PCB and the inverter board in order to support a universal compressor. Good news is my fridge is working again, but significantly more expensive than a firmware update.

Date code says it was built September 1983.  The original ignitor (Carborundum) was inserted into a mating support. Over time, transference of the mating coating would degrade the ignitor's performance. You might want to check this out if the dryer still has this set-up. Later production went to a one-piece design. As for the drum, sometimes reversing it would help or a light grinding of the seam.

Previously both clean and high temp rinse complete lights were on and steady at end of cycle. Now clean is steady and high temp rinse complete is flashing. Any thoughts on what the issue is. Thanks. Brian.

This model dryer is in good condition but I think it is at least 20 years old. I recall the SQ dealer telling me that the current model s/n is essentially that the first 2 digits of the s/n tells the year of mfg but I wonder about the older units such as this one with s/n SR137116. Anyone able to shed some light on this  ?

Try PWS LAUNDRY PARTS (pwslaundry.com). Your model is in there and they have the coil kit (56225A) for your old dryer (SQ Amana or Huebsch). This style gas valve was replaced in the early 80's by the valve with quick change coils.
