"Customer states that the dryer made an unusual screeching noise for about 20 seconds and then the whole dryer shut off and won't turn back on. Tech turned the timer and can hear the timer motor running. Pressed the start button and the motor just hums. Disassembled the dryer and found worn out rollers, belt, and tensioner; but the parts still physically spin and are not preventing the motor from turning. Tech disassembled the venting and found nothing interfering with the blower wheel. Tech recommends replacement of the drive motor, blower wheel, and the factory maintenance kit. Customer approved repair and wants to schedule the return as a 2-6 on Wednesday afternoon. Job is not complete. ; ordrng 1 4392065 (Maintenance kit) and 1 WP694089 (Blower wheel) and 1 279827 (Drive motor)"

"Customer says that a small amount of ice has reformed on the bottom edge of the freezer gasket. Tech insoected and freezer is 6 degrees. Zero rime ice or solid ice is present anywhere except for spots where the floor of the freezer and the bottom of the door meet. Tech disassembled the freezer and no packaged items are leaking. No water, ice, or frost is present anywhere inside machine. Tech removed gasket and no damage and no moisture is present. Reinstalled the gasket and verified that the seal is proper across the entirety of the freezer mouth. Used flash lights and a paper towel to verify that the closure is correct all around. Tech checked the deli drawer and the fresh food compartment. Neither zone has water, ice, or frost present. Tech is legitimately confused by the issue as the doors are all opening and closing properly without any interference with the seals. Tech believes that residual moisture was present inside the gasket which has subsequently worked its way out. Tech explained that if issues continue, that he would have to take a shot in the dark and quote for a freezer gasket and freezer rails, but he doesn't want to do that as they all pass their respective tests. Job is complete. ; dspstn on spec-tagged invntry: 1 DA32-10104N SENSOR and 1 DA82-01415A WATER LEAKAGE KIT"

Tech arrived at the apartment complex and met with Pat. Pat said that the unit is unoccupied and then let the technician into the building and told the tech room 301. Tech got to the apartment and opened the door. The apartment is not unoccupied and a gentleman is sitting on the couch in just as much shock as the technician is at tech walking in. Tech apologized profusely and the tenant was forgiving and understanding. Tech replaced the door and documented the additional damages to the fridge door and the top frame of the machine. Job is complete.

"Inspected subzero fridge and freezer and found both zones running but at elevated temperatures. Heat is billowing out of the machine compartment and the gasket warmers. Tech removed machine cover and found the condenser fan faulty. Provided a quote and the customers approved the repair. Tech ran for the part, returned to the home, and installed the fan motor. Allowed fridge and freezer to run for 30 minutes while cleaning up and the temperatures have fallen back to 23 in the freezer and 47 in the fridge. Temperatures are colder than when the tech arrived and zones will need a few hours to cool down the remainder of the way. Job is complete. ; dspstn on spec-tagged invntry: 1 4200740 MTR PK 10002"
