The customer's microwave function wasn't accessible—the unit was only showing oven controls. We accessed the diagnostic menu and discovered the appliance was configured as a single oven instead of a microwave/oven combo unit. We corrected the model settings, and the microwave is now operating properly. Job complete. Technician accessed the diagnostic menu and identified that the unit's configuration was set to single oven mode rather than the correct microwave wall oven combo configuration.

The dryer wouldn't turn on, and the customer had already tried resetting the breaker. We verified 240V power was reaching the unit and identified that the high limit thermostat controlling power to the control board had failed open due to a loose connection that generated excessive heat. The thermostat was replaced to restore full operation. Job complete. Technician verified 240VAC at the unit disconnect, inspected the high limit thermostat, and determined it had tripped open secondary to a loose terminal connection causing localized heating. The failed thermostat was replaced to restore power delivery to the control board.
