Removed the whole wash tub and spin basket from the unit as a single assembly. Split the outer tub halves and removed the spin basket. Installed a new rear tub and new spin basket. Reassembled and ran 5 tests. Hass tests and consumer cycles all pass their respective tests. Noise is now gone and the washer is spinning smoothly. Job is complete."

"Customer says that the oven shut off during use and gave an f45 error. Also the lights stopped working. Tech looked up the error and it indicates that the cooling fan is running at too slow of a speed. Tech pulled the wall oven out and found that the power cord whip is under the oven. Tech removed the top machine covers and found no signs of physical failure of the fan or the control. All harnesses are snug and locked in place. Fan spins with nearly no resistance. Tech removed the fan and found no issues or wear marks inside the duct work, so fan is not coming in contact with anything else. Tech provided a quote to the customer for a replacement fan assembly as no testing is available from the manufacturer. The troubleshooting guide wants the technician to verify that all harnesses are proper, then replace the fan, then replace the control assembly. Customer wants to hold off on repairs at this time as she bought a new washer and dryer last week. Job is complete."

Customer says that the washer is staining her white items with rust. Tech inspected the washer and can not see rust inside the tub anywhere. Heavy fabric softener build up is present around the entirety of the basket. Some mildew is also present. Tech scrubbed at the softener and it is stubborn and difficult to remove. Tech filled the washer to the top using deep fill and hot water. Allowed a 30 minute speed wash to run and all operations are proper. Tub has a soap scum ring around the stainless from the residue melting off of the internal components and mixing with the water. Customer has two bottle of glisten washer magic and tech suggests running clean cycles with several rinse cycles between the cleaning cycles to flush the softener and other junk away. Customer will try as techs hands on approach has already been fruitful in proving that no issues exist. Job is complete.

Derek is a master in his field. He explained each appliance issue in great detail and showed us the problems. He was very neat and respectful in our fairly new home. He will be the one we ask for if our appliances need further service. Although, I don’t think GE profile appliances should break down after 5 years, 6 months, having them repaired was a better solve than buying new at the moment.

Derek was amazing. Very careful and meticulous, and very enjoyable to talk to. I keep calling Hometown Hero because you keep sending amazing techs. Your customer service rep (whose name I’ve forgotten) was also friendly helpful and knowledgeable. Thanks for continuing to taking good care of your customers and not enshitifying like most customer facing businesses today.
