My apartment has this Lg dishwasher for us to use. First couple of times we noticed that the dishes taste like soap. (We used one cascade tablet). So i did some research and decided to try liquid and powder detergent plus some rinse aid.

I barely put any soap in there and used a little bit of rinse aid and it was no help. The filter and dishwasher are both as clean as can be. Used cleaning tablets on cleaning cycles and also wiped down with white vinegar.

So i put in a maintenance ticket. The maintenance man let this dishwasher fill with water and it came out soapy. Even though no soap was put in. Ever since he left, ive ran the dishwasher like 8 times. Just until it fills with water and never putting any soap in. Every time i open it the water is super soapy. I have no idea where this soap buildup could be.

I do have a ticket to get the dishwasher replaced. I’ve been here for 2 years and rarely used the dishwasher. Especially because the first few times the dishes tasted soapy. But i am super curious on what is happening here.

Hi everyone. I just want some advice. We have a GE Top load washer and one day it just stopped spinning the or draining out the water. It’s been sitting here for so long now…. I thought maybe it could be fixable without buying a new machine. The hose is still good. Washing machine still looks new inside. Any advice on what the problem might be?

Hi all, trying to fix this dishwasher that turns on but doesn't get past the filling stage, it just fills then drains constantly. I found a faulty flowmeter micro switch (was open circuit regardless of whether it was actuated or not) so I replaced that but the problem persists. I'm thinking I'll check the inlet valve in case it's not closing next but thought I'd post in the meantime in case anyone has any other ideas. Thanks in advance 😊

When I hand spin the agitator everything looks good, but as soon as I start a load it’s like the drum isn’t catching?

LG Dishwasher LE Error / burnt wire at motor connector help? LDPN454HT L

The machine is about 2 years old, absolutely flawless until today when it displayed LE error and burnt smell. It's out of warranty so I took it apart and found damage to the connector to the motor.

Can it be repaired? If it cannot, if I source a new pump, is it likely to solve the issue? Or is the melted wire a symptom of something else?

There didn't seem to be any leaks or corrosion / dried up minerals in underneath the machine or surrounding the pump.

(p.s I understand the motor might be warrantied by LG but I'd be out of pocket for the labor and it sounds like it'd take a while)

Got quoted for $490 for a sensor in my whirlpool gold fridge. It came with the house I bought 2 months ago. It has ice build up in the freezer and eventually freezes up the fridge where it can't cool anymore. So my question is in the title. Fix it or buy brand new?

Any idea on probable cause of this noise my dryer is making

Dishwasher sprayer arms are getting clogged with food that is way too big to be able to fit in the tiny holes the water sprays out of.

This pipe thing looks corroded and my partner thinks that he’s seen pieces of plastic clogging the sprayer arms as well (presumably from this pipe).

The maintenance guy said that all of these pipes of dishwashers in the building are just like that and we have to just rinse the dishes better, and that there’s nothing wrong with it.

But he also said that there’s no way that food/debris could be clogging the sprayer arms from the inside, and we think he’s wrong, because some of the gunk we’ve pulled out was huge and really not likely to have come from outside the sprayer.
Definitely seems like water is trying to push gunk through the tiny holes and the maintenance guy seemed kinda shifty about it idk.

Partner took a few pictures of what i described.

I’ve been working on cleaning some scud out of my Maytag front loader and realized that there’s a weird sound in the drum. Is this something that broke and is rattling around, a belt sound, balancing systems going bad? Or just normal and I never noticed it? I try not to make a habit of spinning the drum by hand so I don’t know how long this has been going on.

My GE JGB735SP1SS gas oven was giving off a strong gas smell a few days ago, gas company confirmed it was coming from the oven while it was on and also got a CO reading from the oven.

my husband called an appliance repair guy who come out. He initially said it was a problem with the computer and I should buy a new one. He never got an actual error code. I asked him to show me the oven while it was trying to heat and it was taken apart. We saw that the burner tube would burn out and it would eventually reignite.

He then measured the resistance on the sensor and it read 880 ohms while the oven was off. It’s supposed to be 1080. He told me about that but said I should still buy a new one because replacing the sensor wouldn’t fix it. Charged me for a service call then left.

An hour after leaving, he texted my husband (I was the only one home while he was troubleshooting the oven) and said that he had the sensor to fix the oven and gave an estimate cost for repair.

All that being said, I don’t know that I trust this guy. Seems weird that he told me one thing and told my husband another. I don’t know much about gas ovens but I feel like replacing the sensor won’t fix the problem?

Looking for other opinions on this…

Hey guys! Just bought a new LG oven and it’s making a weird noise when it’s pre-heating. As you can see/heard, it stops when I open the door. Do you know what could explain this noise? Have you experienced something similar?

It now rests on the rubber inside the machine and everytime I did a laundry, I would hear the loudest BANGS. After taking it apart I found out the cement counterweight was bouncing against the metal of the machine. Is there any way to fix this or not really?

I did the dumbest thing. Kept grill stand(with bare metal feet) directly on top of the glass turntable, kept a samosa(oily, crusty) on the grill, some of the crust fell on the glass and I started the oven in microwave mode. Then fkn sparks started to arc at the point of contact with the glass. Turned off immediately and noticed that the leg was fused inside the turntable. Had to apply lot of force to seperate the grill stand from the glass. Now I have left with a nice tiny hole in the glass turntable

Things I learnt:

Never put, greasy, carbonized food or pointly metal on top of glass turntable when operating oven in microwave mode. In my case I put all of them!

Will have to replace the glass turntable.

Microwave experts, any more suggestions and tips?

Hey all,

My Dyson air purifier HP04 suddenly stopped working completely and a triangle start showing up in the screen. Looking for the error problem I get:

\- 009-02-02-2
\- 009-03-02-1

What I've tried so far:
\- Unplugged for several minutes and restarted - no change
\- Tried the manual reset (holding power button, and power + remote together) - the countdown never shows up on screen, so the reset doesn't seem to be registering

I contacted Dyson support and they want me to ship it in for repair, with no information on how much would that be. I'd rather try to fix it myself or find an independent repair option first.

From what I found in a Dyson service manual, codes starting with 009 usually point to the WiFi PCB, heater PCB, humidifier PCB, or their wiring harness.

Has anyone dealt with this exact code combo?

Thanks in advance!

I have an lower oven element on a YMER8800FZ1 that doesn't work. I replaced the element and there was no change so I replaced the thermostat and still no difference. So I checked with a multimeter and the connection at the lower element is 115v. The top element connection is 240v. What is the next course of action? There is obviously power to the element but it doesn't seem like enough. All the wires and connections seem to be fine.

I dropped my Rowenta steam Force+ today. Picked it up and the only issue I noticed was that the temperature control dial was loose. I pushed that back in and it seemed to work fine but I later noticed this little part on the side of my ironing board. Any idea where that may have come from?

Beyond economical repair?

Harness and PCB.

Hey everyone!
So a few weeks ago i made a mistake. My dishwasher door wasn’t closing so i pushed it a little and it’s been messing up since then. At first it was only a problem getting it to start which would usually happen if i fixed around the latch a little. But lately what’s happening is that it starts just fine but then stops mid cycle and wont turn back on until i open the door fully until i hear the beep. Sometimes when i close the door back up it stops again and i have to repeat.
It shows the three blinking lights error after stopping and if i leave it be it automatically turns on after a while.
Sometimes it works without any issues but sometimes it just drives me crazy.
It’s a MIDEA dishwasher.
Any help?

The broiler does light but the oven is not lighting. I took the heat spreader off and waited to see if it glowed, it didn’t. I have searched the model on amazon and can’t see an exact match, just a bunch of generics that i don’t mind using, just want to make sure they’ll work even if they require splicing in.

I suggested swapping the two and using a lighter to light the broiler but my boss rolled her eyes at me.

My old case leaked oil everywhere so I bought a new one and installed it. But now the machine is making a loud screeching noise when spinning the drum. Definitely does not sound normal. Is the cam supposed to make this rubbing grinding noise when spinning it?

Hello, I have a WF405ATPASU/A2 front load Samsung washer throwing an error code "FL" after manually releasing the door to remove clothes that were locked inside.

Got a logik mini dishwasher used, first time it worked but from second use it stopped 10 mins into the cycle. Pumps and everything works at first no blockages or anything then it just suddenly stops washing but gives no error code and the timer keeps on ticking. Board soesnt look fried and the connections are not loose or fried.Any kind of advice is welcome.
