Refrigerator & Freezer Repair / Help with 3 in 1 hard start capacitor install Amana TL20MW refrigerator freezer

« Last post by Rileytown on July 22, 2021, 07:13:44 PM »

I’ve wired up the capacitor to the points on the compressor according to the directions. Spliced up one of the capacitor wires with one black wire. And took one of the wires that is daisy chained to the overload to the other black wire. Plugged it in and nothing happens. It has power because the lights turn on but nothing else. Since there seems to be four wires to choose from for the overload is it the case of not having the right wire or doesn’t it matter and the refrigerator is just dead?

If you have not already done so, You need to dismantle the dryer starting with the wash basket .  This is not an easy job and takes a few special  tools.  another possibility is to remove the belt and the pump  and check for damage . It sounds like the problem is in the brake rotor area but this is just a guess. Be prepared for some expensive repair cost.

there is video on U tube showing how to dismantle  this unit

Refrigerator & Freezer Repair / Whirlpool fridge transportation

« Last post by Thorning on July 22, 2021, 07:46:03 AM »

I have just moved an 8 year old whirlpool fridge and it had to be laid down for transport.This is a top freezer type unit and I have been told that it should  not be plugged back in until it has been put back up in the normal operating position for about 24 hours. I am asking other techs what time interval should I observe before I plug it back in for normal operation. It was laid  down for about 8 hours. Any other precautions I should  observe ?Help !

Washer Repair / Re: GE WPXH214A0WW

Sorry for a long time responding, but I did want to check in with you.

If you still have the washer, it sounds to me like you were on the right track with the door lock.

Since the washer was built by Frigidaire but sold by GE with GE nameplate, the best way to get parts is through Frigidaire. (much cheaper).  The p/n for the lock is 131763256. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMNah-86pEU
This is a good video of the complete check-out. You may have already done this.

With all the checks you have done, I can't think of much of anything else.  If you decide to get another lock, make sure it is not a knock-off as most of them don't have a good track record.  You should be able to find a NEW Frigidaire manufactured lock for $60 - 75.  Any less than that is not likely to be worth getting!

I did one time have to replace the complete wiring harness to repair one on warranty, but a bad wire is not likely.

Good Luck!

Dishwasher Repair / DWHD440MPR/07 Thermador dishwasher showing different error codes (e01 then e06),

« Last post by mkhuu1993 on July 20, 2021, 06:12:48 PM »

Hello. I have a customer with a Thermador dishwasher. Initially, it displayed E01, not turning on. The customer said that someone replaced the circulation pump on this unit 2 months ago but was unable to provide a receipt to confirm this, this is from her memory only.

We replaced the drain pump and the control board. No leak was found. After the new control board was installed, it showed error code E06 even before I tried to start a cycle. I can see that when the board was starting up, it tried to turn the circulation pump for half a second maybe, but it was unable to run it further. I took the circulation pump apart to clean, still not working afterward. Checked wires, nothing found.

The only thing I can think about right now is maybe the circulation pump was not replaced 2 months ago after all and we need to replace it? But why would the new control board show a different error code than the old one?

Any pointer would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Thermador dishwasher
Model DWHD440MPR/07
Serial FD95100074

I am unsure how to edit the above post but I am unable to post the video since it is larger than 5000k. It is only a 6 second video so I am not sure why it will not attach. Sorry guys, I figured a video would be much more helpful to diagnose this issue.

Washer Repair / Speed Queen Top Load Washer - Model #AWN412SP111TW01

« Last post by cseitz71690 on July 19, 2021, 09:40:40 AM »

Hello,

So I have a nice speed queen washer that is now making a very loud firecracker kind of sound during the spin cycle. Also when I open the lid during the spin cycle, it is spinning very slowly which I'm sure is why the clothes are soaking wet when the cycle finishes.

Does anyone know the reasoning behind this issue and what I would need to purchase in order to repair this? Thanks in advance for all of your help!

***I am currently working on uploading the short video clip I have of the loud sound.***
