Job Details: 03/13/2026
The customer's under-counter ice maker wasn't draining properly due to an incorrect drain line configuration for the unit's drain pump. We worked with the manufacturer to identify the issue, installed a drain bypass and new drain line, tested for leaks, and verified the unit is now operating correctly. Job complete. Technician inspected the initial installation, coordinated with manufacturer support regarding drain line compatibility with the drain pump unit, installed the drain bypass assembly and replacement drain line, and pressure-tested the drain system for leaks before reinstalling and starting the unit.

The customer reported that their U-Line refrigerator wasn't cooling and the door wasn't sealing properly. We diagnosed a faulty door switch that was forcing the unit to power cycle, along with a defective reed switch and main control board. We replaced the reed switch, main control board, and evaporator fan, and the refrigerator is now operating normally with proper cooling and door sealing. Job complete. Technician tested the door switch function and found it triggered continuous power cycling when closed. After replacing the reed switch and main control board, the unit still cycled until the evaporator fan was replaced, which restored normal compressor operation and proper frost formation on the evaporator coil.

Job Details: 03/12/2026
The customer reported their dryer was making loud rumbling noises during operation. We inspected the drum rollers, idler pulley, blower wheel, and motor. After testing, we found the blower wheel had a slight misalignment causing the noise, and we installed a maintenance kit to address wear on the rear roller and idler. Job complete. Technician inspected rear roller and idler pulley (found stiff condition), tested motor rotation (spins freely), and examined blower wheel (identified slight tilt causing rumbling noise). Maintenance kit was installed and reassembled; noise persisted due to blower wheel misalignment.

The customer's washer wasn't spinning out clothes properly. We ran diagnostics and found error codes indicating a mechanical issue with the drum and control system. We replaced the main control board and pressure switch to restore normal spin function. Job complete. The technician ran the unit through diagnostic mode, which revealed stored error codes (F0E5, F0E2, F8E1, F5E2, F9E1), tested the drain pump and all solenoid valves (all operating normally), and confirmed the tub spins freely by hand but fails to spin during the diagnostic test cycle. The main control board and pressure switch were replaced to resolve the fault.

MIELE (H) REFRIGERATOR

Job Details: 03/12/2026
The customer reported that their Miele refrigerator wasn't producing ice. We found the fill tube frozen and used a steamer to thaw it. After testing the ice maker, we discovered a frozen water line preventing water from reaching the ice maker component, even though the inlet valve was activating. We thawed the line again and confirmed the system was operating properly. The technician ran an ice maker test cycle and observed the inlet valve solenoid engaging but no water flow to the ice maker. Diagnostic testing revealed error code F761 (ice container not inserted) and confirmed a frozen water line as the root cause. The fill tube was successfully thawed using steam, and the system was retested to verify normal operation.

MAYTAG DRYER

Mike did a great job. Even though he had to borrow my ladder and trudge through the snow to go clean out my dryer vent he didn’t complain! He was very cordial and a complete gentleman. I haven’t tried my dryer yet to see if it actually works but he seemed confident in his evaluation of what was wrong. I will request him for any other appliance fixes.
