"Customer says that the oven is giving an E005 error and the console is saying communication failure. Tech disassembled the oven and removed the console. Tech removed all harnesses and sub boards and then reassembled and reinstalled. E005 occurs immediately. Tech cycled power several timed and no change in errors occur. Tech looked at the diagram for the error troubleshooting and the communication failure has no steps to follow. Just a matter of resetting the connections and then replacement of the computers if issues continue. Tech provided a quote to replace the console, the display, the main control, and the sub control. Customer declined. Job is complete."

Customer says that the dryer tripped the breaker over night and won't work anymore. Tech inspected and found the dryer not powering on. Opened the door and no interior lights come on. Checked the panel and found the breaker in the off position. Tech reset the breaker and the breaker does not reset. Tech unplugged the dryer and tried to reset the breaker and it still won't reset. The breaker is faulty and needs to be replaced. Tech looked closely at the panel and realized that it is a federal pacific panel. FP panels and breakers are known to go faulty and replacement parts have not been available for 25 or 30 years. Tech explained that an electrician is needed in order to see if a retrofit breaker can be installed or if a panel replacement is required to address this issue. Customer knows several electricians and will reach out to them for guidance. Job is complete.

"Tech started the dryer and confirmed that noise is coming from the rear roller area. Tech removed the lid and found that the drum is rotating roughly 20 rpm. The dryer normally tumbles between 75 and 100 rpm. Tech is able to stop the drums rotation by hand, which should not occur. Tech disassembled the dryer completely to quote accurately. Dryer has been on fire, internally, at least once; maybe twice. All 4 rollers are faulty. The belt and belt tensioner are faulty. The drive motor and blower need to be replaced to get the drum speed back. While typing notes, tech smelled gas coming from the regulator area. Tech grabbed his gas sniffer and confirmed that the regulator or solenoids have failed and are letting gas through. Customer is not interested in repairing machine and does not want a quote. Job is complete."

"Customer says that the lights are not working. Tech inspected and found all lights working. Tech toggled the cooktop lights on and off and verified that the vent fan is working. Tech ran tests of the microwave and it is only consuming 11.5a-12.5a while heating. Two mugs of water successfully boil on back to back attempts. Tech opened and closed the door several times and interior light toggles on and off. Tech removed upper grille and the main co tool assembly. Wiring is undamaged at the computer and at the light socket. Light bulb is slightly discolored, but still fully functional. Removed the light bulb and gently shook it but the resistance reading stays at 44 ohm. Tech finds no failures on today's visit and all operations are working as intended. Job is complete."
