Job Details: 04/13/2026
The dishwasher was displaying error codes indicating a wash motor failure and heating issue. We tested the unit and confirmed the wash motor is not functioning properly—it's receiving power but not running, which is also preventing the water from heating. The wash motor assembly has been replaced to restore full operation. Job complete. Technician tested wash motor resistance (6.4 ohms) and verified 120VAC input at the motor terminals. The F4E3 and F7E1 fault codes were confirmed to stem from the failed wash motor; once replaced, both the wash and heat functions were restored.

The customer's front burners weren't igniting properly. We found the left front burner's simmer orifice was clogged and cleaned it along with the igniter, then tightened both front burners which were loose. Both burners now ignite and operate correctly. Job complete. The technician inspected and cleaned the left front burner's simmer orifice and igniter, tightened both the left and right front burner assemblies, and preheated the griddle for 15 minutes to verify consistent temperature performance across the cooking surface.

The customer reported that the washer starts a cycle but doesn't actually wash. We connected the unit to our diagnostic equipment and found a faulty main control board causing an accelerometer fault. After testing the door lock and drain pump to rule out other issues, we confirmed the control board was the problem and completed the repair. Job complete. Technician connected unit to diagnostic software and identified accelerometer fault code. Spin test showed no response from drum motor. Door lock and drain pump responded normally in load control test, isolating the failure to the main control board.

The customer noticed water pooling in the bottom of the refrigerator and leaking into the crisper drawer after installing a new water filter. We inspected the unit and found the water was leaking from the filter head. The o-rings appeared intact, so we identified the filter case assembly as the likely source of the leak. Job complete. Technician inspected the filter head connection, examined the o-rings for damage, and determined the filter case assembly (DA97-14365L) was the probable cause of the water leak.

Best repair experience I’ve had in a long time! It was easy to schedule. Michael researched the details on my refrigerator model in advance and came well prepared. Cleaned up so well when finished that I couldn’t tell he’d been here! Will definitely use Hometown Hero again.
