We replaced both components, evacuated and recharged the system with refrigerant, and the unit is now cooling again. Job complete. Technician inspected the refrigeration circuit and identified a failed WR86X10094 3-way valve and WR87X30875 filter drier. System was evacuated and recharged with 5 oz of R134a refrigerant to restore proper cooling capacity.

The refrigerator wasn't cooling at all, and the display was malfunctioning and selecting things on its own. We found that the air purifier fan had failed and damaged the main control board, and the evaporator thermistor had also failed. We replaced the display, main control board, air purifier fan, and evaporator thermistor, installed new water and air filters, and confirmed the unit is now cooling properly with all sensors reading correctly. Job complete. The technician tested the compressor operation, verified sensor readings, and confirmed proper display responsiveness after component replacement. The defrost thermistor, control board assembly, air purification fan, and display were replaced, along with water and air filter installation.

The customer's dishwasher had a loose backer panel, loose door handles, and a knock sensor that had shifted out of position. We removed the upper and lower panels, replaced the mounting screws with longer, more secure fasteners, applied thread-locking compound to the door handle screws to prevent future loosening, and properly repositioned the knock sensor. Job complete. The technician inspected the backer panel mounting points, identified undersized fasteners, replaced them with appropriately sized screws, applied Loctite to the door handle attachment points, and verified proper alignment and seating of the knock sensor assembly.

The customer's refrigerator wasn't making ice because the fill tube was frozen. We found that the water pressure from the reverse osmosis system was too low, which prevented the icemaker from filling properly and caused water to freeze in the tube. We cleared the frozen fill tube, tested the icemaker, and confirmed it filled with water correctly. Job complete. The technician disconnected the fill tube, cycled the icemaker, and collected water in a cup to measure pressure output. Testing revealed insufficient water pressure to complete a full icemaker fill cycle. The fill tube heater was functioning, but low incoming pressure from the RO system was the root cause of the freeze-up condition.

The customer noticed black marks appearing on clothes and strings getting caught in the dryer. We found that the front bearing was significantly worn, creating a gap between the drum and bulkhead that allowed fabric and clothing to snag. We replaced the front glide kit to restore proper spacing and prevent further damage. Job complete. Technician inspected the drum-to-bulkhead clearance and confirmed the front bearing assembly wear was causing the enlarged gap. Verified venting was unobstructed and ruled out excessive heat as a cause of the interior door paint deterioration. Installed replacement drum front glide kit (WE03X23875).
