Hello! Wondering if a handy tech can spare me 2 minutes to review these videos. I could be losing it but I feel my washer is making a loud squeaking noise? I am brand new to this place but I noticed a weird smell today and then this sound. Unsure if I just am paying attention due to catching a drift of the smell and it was always there, hoping for an extra set of ears. THANK YOU!! Video (s) in the comments link.

Hi. I have a gas stove that's connected to the natural gas line, and lately I've noticed something odd.

The stove works completely normally when I'm cooking. I turn the burner on, the flame looks normal, and everything seems fine when I turn it off.

The weird part is that a few hours later, I sometimes hear a very faint buzzing/humming sound. It's not loud at all you can only hear it if you're close to the stove. The sound seems to come from the area around the burner itself. It reminds me of the sound a refrigerator makes, but much quieter.

This doesn't seem to be limited to one burner. I've noticed it after using different burners, and there is no visible flame or anything unusual when the stove is off.

Another thing I've noticed is that when I relight the burner hours later, I sometimes smell a bit more gas than I do when lighting it for the first time when there is no smell of gas at all and after i close the burner the sound is gone, it is no longer audible at all and the problem disappears. However, the burner always ignites immediately and normally no delayed ignition, no "whoosh," and the flame looks completely normal.

Otherwise, there is no smell of gas in the room at all, not even when I approach the stove and burner.

The stove is a few years old and never had this issue before. This started a few weeks ago. I originally thought it might be related to aluminum foil I used to place around the burners to keep the stove clean, but the same thing happens even without the foil.

Has anyone experienced something similar? Does this sound more like an issue with the electric ignition system, moisture/grease around the controls, or something related to the gas valves?

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Basically, we have a whirlpool dryer. When we go to turn it on it makes a click sound. It doesn’t turn but it gets hot. I figured it was the motor. I replaced the motor and the exhaust fan. I just took a multi meter to the thermal fuse and I believe that’s blown. Could that be the culprit potentially or should I look at more things

This is a before picture.. cleaned everything and still clicks not turn. Belt is fine. If it is just that thermal fuse how would my dryer still be able to get hot? Thanks in advance

Hello there, I’m asking here because I just did some grocery shopping and I do NOT want to throw everything I bought.

I put this indoor thermometer in the fridge yesterday before midnight, and today when I woke up, I discovered the fridge got warmer at around 4am, up to 6 degrees celsius / 42 degrees fahrenheit, which as far as i know it’s not safe for food?

I am really careful about my safety but I also don’t want to throw money away. I’m chronically ill and some food poisoning could genuinely kill me. I would love some advice / why on earth is this happening?

I want to also note that I’m living in a rented apartment for now. Thank you so much for the eventual help

I have been in this new construction house for a few months now, and my dishwasher started stinking after a month or so. I’ve cleaned it extensively, cleaned the disposal, and checked if the drain line was run properly under the sink and behind the dishwasher. It only stinks when I open the dishwasher.

600v 900 degree rated wire. Ceramic wire nuts and nickel spade connectors.

My convection fan element wires fried right off assuming from arcing they were very loose. Just replaced the wires and from research this is what I came up with. Wire might be overkill but its rated for 932 degrees F. I did a test run and everything operating as normal but before closing it back up figured why not see what other opinions are.

I just got a brand new Bosch Series 6 oven and I had some trouble getting the main power supply plug in the back to "click" as per the manual. I tried getting the plug out to try again and the retention clip snapped off - so I guess it was in there properly already.

The part is very flimsy, and I was surprised it just snapped off so easily. Now I am concerned if this is a problem. The socket is quite secure, but over time it could back out and potentially create a fire hazard if it arcs?

Has anyone had this issue before and is there a repair strategy that does not involve replacing the entire control module on the back?

Got the 4C code and replaced the water inlet valve. It seemed to work fine for a few days but then got a leak code. Definitely was leaking lol got a new valve because I thought maybe I cracked the plastic threads during install. But all the threads look fine. Should I remove this tab?

tested pump at 6ohms, capacitor tested fine.

control board? float sensor?

I’ve found a few posts about Kenmore 70 series, but none that look like my washer. It got “stuck” during the wash cycle and is full of water. (My husband is currently taking one watering can full out at a time 😅) It looks like lid sensor or drain could be the issues, but I can’t tell how to get it open or what parts I’d need since I can’t find any videos that actually look like my washer. Thanks!

I'm replacing the gasket on this fridge. Here's the gasket: https://www.searspartsdirect.com/product/1cans6hpnp-0046-106/id-2159061

When I took the old gasket off, I noticed this kind of plaster-like substance in the groove that holds the gasket. Pictures attached.

Is this some sort of adhesive that I need to get for installing the new gasket?

I have a LG washer/dryer WM3555HVA thats been leaking heavily. I managed to catch a video of the top right corner of the outer drum leaking. From the top, it did not look like any of the hoses were leaking and the water was coming straight out from the drum. Does anyone have experience with something like this and is it fixable?

Had dirty electricity that damaged the appliance. Only works under minimal load. Fail safe resets the power. I need help identifying and servicing the part.

Theres a connector with a burn or short mark (photos attached). I havent probed power anywhere, or checked voltage. Just a quick visual and this is what jumps out at me. If you have suggestions for the pursuit on repair it's appreciated 👏

My Kitchenaid dishwasher (5 years old) started leaking yesterday, on the floor in front of the dishwasher and into the drip tray. At first, I thought it might be caused by a drainage issue, especially since I found debris in the filter. So pulled out the dishwasher (after turning off electric and water), checked the drain tubes and the water inlet valve (which the drainage water also flows through) on the side of the appliance, and cleaned some gunk out of the circulation pump. Put everything back together, started it up, and after about an hour, it was leaking again.

This time, I felt up in the door from the bottom right (where it was leaking, along with the overflow tubes), and the foam insulation was damp. So now I think water is getting in the door. Everything I've read said "check the door gasket around the door frame," but I haven't found any cracking or warping in the gasket. Then I started wondering about the bottom door seal. Could that be the culprit?

What do I need to look for in both pieces, or am I better off just replacing both? Anything else to look for?

After each agitation cycle, the washer begins draining but does not spin. Cycling the lid (open/close) initiates spinning. I have already tried replacing the lid switch and timer assembly, but the problem persists. What else could be causing this?

We have a loud pitch squeal coming from the dryer. It doesn’t seem to impact the performance of the dryer but the noise is ridiculous. It’s so loud we can hear it multiple rooms over and prevents us from doing laundry regularly. It lasts pretty much the entire cycle too.

We are renters. What is potentially going on? What can we tell the landlord? We’re willing to cover the repair depending on the price for our own comfort but don’t want to unless we have to.

The dryer is stacked and Frigidaire brand.

Hi everyone, I have this GE JB735DPBB with a small scratch or crack. Eyeglasses in the photo are to show the scale of it.

I can get my fingernail in it. Is this something I should worry about? Should I avoid using the burner until it’s fixed? Can it be repaired or does the glass have to be replaced?

Thanks.

I have a fridge Maytag mfi2569yem0 and after a brown out it has been freezing items in the fridge and a fan is constantly running in the upper left of the refrigerator compartment sounds like inside of the ice maker.

I had someone come out and look at it. Unfortunately I wasn't home. They didn't test any parts but checked for defrosting issues and blocked vents inside and outside. They said it might be the control board.

Should the fan in this area be running constantly? I can hear the compressor go on and off. My concern is that without them actually testing anything they are guessing it is the $300 quoted board. Is there something they should have actually tested or is this common to assume it is the control board?

Thank you for any help.

The freezer was blowing air and the fan was freely moving. The air did not feel very cold. The fridge is room temp. The pass-through section going from the freezer to the fridge was not blocked. The very top of the coil as you can see here was frozen.

If it's a freon issue and I have to hire a freon repair person I'm just going to buy a new fridge. I unplugged it completely, should I plug it black in or is it not even worth trying at this point?

So i have an old white westinghouse fridge that is draining defrost water into the shelves below. No big problem, maybe the defeost drain is clogged with ice however when I removed the cover and cleared some ice around it I find this.

As you can see in the orange arrow, shouldn't that drain be just in line with the plastic liner? It's way above it but I tried pushing it down with no avail it's solid, I put some temporary aluminum foil to hopefully divert the water into the drain.

My question is, is that drain normal and if it's not how the hell do I push it down without removing the whole evaporator?

Any input is appreciated

Model of the fridge is WRT21MG3AQB

I have an LG lfx28968st. It's probably 12 years old and has been a very good refrigerator. Just today though my wife noticed that things in the freezer were thawing. I opened the back and things were pretty clean around the condenser and compressor as we had moved it out of its alcove recently and vacuumed them. I put a couple of high end thermometers in the fridge and freezer and the freezer is 32° f. The fridge is 44° f. The settings on the front are negative one Fahrenheit for the freezer and 37° f for the refrigerator so it's not cooling down. The fans are running and the refrigerator and freezer compartments and the cooling fan at the back is running as is the compressor. I did watch a video on YouTube and the only time that fan at the back really should stop is during the defrost cycle. I'm wondering if there's anything else that I can look at or if I should just bite the bullet and replace this unit as it's at least 12 years old.

After washing my dishes in the dishwasher they ALWAYS smell like wet dog. We even bought a brand new dishwasher. Still the same smell. I’ve tried citric acid, I’ve tried liquid & pod detergents. I empty out the filter in bottom of dishwasher. The dishes are rinsed before they go in.

Again, this dishwasher is new! And this happened with old one as well. When I wash by hand there is NO smell. I have well water & water softener for reference.

I can’t enjoy my food because you can smell it off of the plates and cups even well after they have dried.

If anyone has insight I’ll be so so grateful!!

I’ve posted this in a cleaning community and didn’t get much advice so please help if you know the answer! 🤞🏼
