Customer states that the ice maker is not working. Tech removed the ice bin and found it to be half full. Cubes are very wet inside and the bin is leaking water. Tech checked codes and 40c is present. Removed the ice maker and found the air ducting and auger fan completely encased in ice. Used steamer to melt ice and then thoroughly dried out the room. Reinstalled the auger assembly and confirmed that the optical sensor and fan are both operational. Reinstalled the previously installed 2023 ice maker and pressed the reset button. Ice maker successfully harvests and refills with water. Ice maker operations are proper so tech does not suggest repairs. Issues with the air ducting and auger fan freezing are not repairable and all solutions from the manufacturer have been tried already. Customer is aware and understands that not much can be done. Job is complete. ; dspstn on spec-tagged invntry: 1 DA97-12540G AUGER and 1 DA97-15217D ICEMKR

"Customer says that the dryer shuts off after a minute or two. Tech did a visual inspection and found two dryer sheets melted to the moisture sensor and filter bulkhead. Removed softener sheets and ran hass tests. Test fails almost immediately and gives a c80 error for air flow. Venting is less than 10 feet and 7 feet of it is brand new. Tech went outside of home and ran an airflow check. Vent is improper and vents into the siding of the home. Airflow is under 7mph. Within 2 minutes of starting a cycle during the airflow check, the dryer randomly shut off. Tech went inside and found clg error displayed for clogged venting. Tech cleared out some lint and airflow is now 14mph. Venting is still an issue since it is blowing into the soffit/siding, but dryer is now passing tests. Tech explained everything to the customers son whom translated it back to his father. Job is complete as the dryer is working properly. Issue is with the venting."

"Tech inspected the dryer and found the interior light is burnt out. Turned the timer to a timed cycle and the timer is ticking, properly. Pressing the start button does nothing. Tech cycled the door switch several times and no change is seen. Disassemvked the dryer and found the heater thermal fuse open. Tech replaced the thermal fuse, vacuumed out the interior, reassembled, and tested the dryer. The dryer is tumbling properly and cycling heat as it should. Venting leaving the home is blowing at 16mph or greater and does not need to be addressed or assessed further. Job is complete."

Job Details: 11/14/2025
Customer says that he just moved into this rental property and is having issues with the washer. Customer is not home when tech arrived so tech waited 15 minutes for him to get home. Tech went inside and started the washer. Pressure transducer issue is occurring and washer is stuck in a drain loop. Tech cleared out of flood mode by holding the start button for 10 seconds. Tech entered diagnostics and the drain pump runs constantly through the test cycle. Drain issue can not be canceled by the technician. Tech checked bulletins and found that this model is affected by a national sensor issue and has a free repair available from the manufacturer. Tech recommends that the home owner contact the manufacturer to get the washer repaired for free. Job is complete.

Very polite, courteous, knowledgeable. After 29 years (and a few repairs, mostly done by Derek) I need to replace my fridge. He was very helpful in directing me toward my purchase. Truly a delightful young man!
