GE WASHER

Derek
Job Details: 12/16/2025
Customer says that the washer failed mid cycle and now won't run. Tech plugged the washer in and the control and lights are cycling on and off. Connected newfi and found multiple computer faults stored internally. Inverter errors are the most prevalent. Tech tried to start a drain and spin cycle and the washer shuts off completely when start is pressed. The Inverter appears to have failed during spin and back-fed electricity into the main control and damaged it. Tech provided a quote for both computers to be replaced and the customer declined. Job is complete.

"Tech removed the wall oven from the cavity and used the all dolly to pull the oven into the kitchen. Shut off power at the breaker and then disconnected the whip from the terminal block. Tech removed the fan assembly and installed the new fan in place. Swapped the hall effects pcb to the new fan. Reconnected everything and tested the fan before reinstalling the oven. Both fan speeds work and the AC-2 error no longer is occurring. Tech reinstalled the oven, fully, and allowed a preheat to 350 to occur. Job is complete."

"Customer says that the control stopped working, so they have been unable to use the lower oven for over a year. Upper oven and cooktop still work. Tech inspected and verified. Cycled power several times and display does not come back on. Tech removed front half of the cooktop to access rear electrical connectors for the control. Control is receiving 0vac L1 to N. Tco appears to be open on the side of the machine. Do to the inability to easily access the tco, tech tested the control for reasons why the fuse would be open, as customer does not recall running the self clean cycle. Tech checked the ignitor relays and checked the cooling fan. The bake relay is closed on the control, even with no power supplied, confirming a computer failure. The cooling fan can not be adequately tested at this time since the faulty control needs to be operable to test further. Tech provided a quote for a new control and tco, as well as recommended a cooling fan. Customer declined. Job is complete."

LG DRYER
Model DLE8400BE
Near Papillion, Nebraska 68046
Derek
Job Details: 12/16/2025
"Customer says that the dryer works perfectly and dries without issues. She noticed that the 'cool' light is always displayed, regardless of cycle or option settings. Dry light flashes on and off when heating and the cool light will flash during the final 5 minutes. Tech started the installation test and the dryer passes. Customer recently had the vent cleaned out in an attempt to remedy this issue. Tech removed the rear panel and placed a clamp meter around L1 and L2. Each leg of power is consuming 22-26a and both heating elements are energized. Tech exited cycle and ran test mode. Moisture sensor and thermistor are both proper as well. Economy mode and wrinkle prevent are off. Tech removed both pcbs and reset their connections. Still no change. Tech reached out to the manufacturer who says that this is normal, not a failure, a d can not be changed (its programmed into the software). The idea of it is to display the dry and cool lights for the entirety of all cycles to indicate where in the cycle progression it is. This is more helpful on the units that do not use a digital display for count down."

Job Details: 12/16/2025
"Customer says that the fridge flooded his kitchen and his flooring is now damaged. Had a plumber out who determined that the fridge is leaking. Tech inspected the machine compartment. The filter, valve, and lines are dry. Removed the toe kick. Pan is full of water but not leaking. Floor has been previously wet, but is currently dry under neath. Tech can hear a constant drip occurring from somewhere but he can not see any water. Customer went to the pantry and pulled out the pantry fridge. Holes are cut in the drywall. Tech peeked through the wall and can see that the water supply line in the wall is leaking. Tech reached his camera into the opening and snapped a picture which clearly shows that the shut off has failed and is leaking. Tech explained that the fridge appears fine and the plumber will need to come back to swap out the plumbing components to address issue. Job is complete."

KENMORE FREEZER

My husband handled the technicians visit and he’s very opinionated when it comes to getting something serviced at our home. He was very impressed with the knowledge of our tech, Derek, and pleased with his work on our upright freezer. He showed up when he said he would and clearly explained the issue. He also provided additional information about having an outdoor appliance that we never knew. Scheduling and communication was easy and the price of the visit/fix was reasonable. Highly recommend.
