Appliance Repairs — Week of February 23, 2026 (part 2 of 3) | Stark County, OH

GE dryer (DRSR495EG6WW) — Carrollton, OH

Reported: The customer reported loud grinding noises whenever the dryer ran, especially noticeable when the drum turned. The noise was consistent throughout the cycle and getting progressively worse over several weeks of use.

Diagnosis: We found the front bearing slides had worn down to the point where metal was grinding against metal. The felt seal around the drum front was also deteriorated, allowing lint to escape into the cabinet. The drive belt showed signs of stress from the misaligned drum movement and needed replacement to prevent future failure.

Repair: Work: Replaced bearing slides, felt seal, and drive belt · Parts: WE49X20697 — front bearing slides · Result: Drum rotates smoothly with no grinding noise

GE dryer (DRSR495EG6WW) — Carrollton, OH

Reported: The dryer was making loud noise throughout the cycle, particularly noticeable when the drum was turning with a load. The customer described it as grinding and scraping sounds that had gotten progressively worse over several weeks.

Diagnosis: Inside the unit, the front bearing slides showed severe wear — the plastic had worn down to the point where metal was contacting metal. These slides support the front of the drum and allow smooth rotation. When they fail, the drum drops slightly and creates the grinding noise. The felt seal around the drum opening was also damaged from the excessive movement.

Repair: Work: Disassembled front panel, removed drum, installed new bearing slides and felt seal, reassembled unit · Parts: WE49X20697 — dryer bearing slides, felt seal, and drive belt · Result: Ran test cycle with load — dryer operates silently with smooth drum rotation

Frigidaire washer (FWT645RHS0) — Carrollton, OH

Reported: The homeowner reported that their washer would fill and agitate normally, but at the end of the cycle, clothes were sitting in standing water. Along with the drainage issue, they heard a loud grinding noise coming from underneath the machine during what should have been the drain cycle.

Diagnosis: After removing the front panel and accessing the pump assembly, we found the drain pump had completely failed. The impeller was seized due to worn bearings, and debris had accumulated around the pump housing. This is common on this Frigidaire model after several years of use — the pump motor eventually wears out from constant cycling, especially in homes with hard water that can accelerate bearing wear.

Repair: Work: Removed old pump, cleared debris from housing, installed new pump with proper sealing · Parts: 137108000 — drain pump assembly · Result: Ran complete wash cycle — unit drained properly with no noise

Frigidaire refrigerator (FFSS2325TE0) — Carrollton, OH

Reported: The customer called after a power outage left their FFSS2325TE0 refrigerator side not cooling. Food was warming up while the freezer compartment maintained proper temperature. This is a classic symptom of damper assembly failure — the motor that controls airflow between the freezer and refrigerator sections had stopped working.

Diagnosis: The damper assembly motor controls the flow of cold air from the freezer to the refrigerator compartment. When it fails, the refrigerator side loses cooling while the freezer continues to work normally. Power surges during outages commonly damage these motors, as they’re sensitive to electrical fluctuations. We confirmed the motor was completely non-functional and needed replacement.

Repair: Work: Removed failed damper assembly, installed new motor unit, reconnected wiring · Parts: 242303001 — damper assembly motor · Result: Refrigerator side cooling restored, temperature stabilized within normal range

Kenmore washer (110.45966400) — Carrollton, OH

Reported: The customer called because their Kenmore 110.45966400 washer had stopped working during a wash cycle. Water remained in the drum, and the door lock wouldn’t release. The control panel was unresponsive, and attempting to restart the cycle had no effect.

Diagnosis: This Kenmore washer uses a safety interlock system that prevents the door from opening when water is present in the tub. The drain pump had completely failed, leaving water trapped and keeping the door mechanism engaged. Testing the pump with a multimeter showed no electrical continuity, confirming the component had burned out internally.

Repair: Work: Removed old pump, installed new pump, reconnected electrical connections and drain hoses · Parts: 280187 — drain pump assembly · Result: Ran full wash cycle to verify proper drainage and door unlocking sequence

GE washer (Gfwr2700h0ww) — Carrollton, OH

Reported: The customer reported that their washer doesn’t drain properly and there was no real spin during the cycle. Water was remaining in the tub after wash cycles completed.

Diagnosis: We inspected the GE Gfwr2700h0ww and found the drain filter was obstructed. This blockage prevented proper water drainage and interfered with the spin cycle operation.

Repair: Work: Cleared an obstructed drain filter · Parts: None required · Result: Operation is normal

Frigidaire dryer (AEQ6700CFS0) — Carrollton, OH

Reported: The customer reported that the dryer heats so hot they can’t put their hand on the top of the dryer. Their web search suggested a bad high temp thermocouple might be causing the overheating issue.

Diagnosis: When testing the vent it showed as heavily obstructed. This vent runs through the wall and attic — a long route that requires professional cleaning equipment we don’t carry for dryer repairs.

Repair: Work: Diagnosed blocked vent system, referred customer to professional vent cleaning service · Parts: None — this was a vent blockage issue · Result: Customer referred to Dryer Vent Wizard of East Ohio for proper vent cleaning

Whirlpool dishwasher (DU1055XTVS0) — Carrollton, OH

Reported: The customer reported their dishwasher runs constantly and will not shut off. This continuous operation prevented normal use and wasted water and energy throughout the cycle.

Diagnosis: Machine had no error codes stored. We ran a test cycle to observe the dishwasher’s behavior and identified a calibration issue that was causing the continuous operation.

Repair: Work: Ran a test cycle and calibrated the system · Parts: No parts required · Result: Dishwasher now operates normally with proper cycle completion

GE dishwasher — Carrollton, OH

Reported: The customer contacted us because their dishwasher wouldn’t work. The GE unit (model PDW9280J00SS, serial HG761737B) was completely non-responsive, leaving the family without their primary dishwashing solution.

Diagnosis: Testing revealed that both the control board and keypad had failed. These electronic components work together to operate the dishwasher’s cycles, and when either fails, the entire unit becomes inoperable.

Repair: Work: Replaced control board and keypad, disconnected display for proper function · Parts: WD21X10187 control module assembly, WD34X10915 keypad · Result: Dishwasher restored to full operation

Zline range/cooktop (Rg36) — Carrollton, OH

Reported: The customer needed their Zline range properly installed and the orifices changed for propane operation. The unit required professional conversion from natural gas to liquid petroleum to function safely and efficiently.

Diagnosis: The range needed the liquid petroleum conversion kit installed to operate on propane fuel. Additionally, the burners required adjustment to achieve the proper simmer setting for optimal cooking performance.

Repair: Work: Installed the liquid petroleum conversion kit and adjusted the burners for proper simmer setting · Parts: No parts recorded · Result: Unit is operating correctly

Kenmore dryer (110.68102310) — Carrollton, OH

Reported: The customer reported that their dryer was not heating. They had another dryer available and were using that unit while deciding on repairs for the Kenmore.

Diagnosis: Our evaluation revealed that due to the age of this Kenmore dryer and the associated cost of necessary repairs, continuing with the repair would not be the most practical solution for the homeowner.

Repair: Work: Diagnostic evaluation completed · Parts: No parts used · Result: Customer chose to use their other dryer unit

Whirlpool oven (WGG745S0FS02) — Carrollton, OH

Reported: Mice got into the stove and the customer needed it looked at to see if it can be repaired.

Diagnosis: Extensive damage in unit from mice made repair uneconomical and potentially unsafe.

Repair: Work: Inspection and assessment · Parts: None · Result: Customer will replace unit due to extensive damage

Bosch dishwasher (SHP65T55UC/07) — Deerfield, OH

Reported: The homeowner reported their Bosch SHP65T55UC/07 was showing a persistent heat element 9 error code on the display. The dishwasher would start a cycle but shut down partway through, leaving dishes unwashed. The unit was roughly 6 years old and had been working normally until this error appeared.

Diagnosis: Testing revealed the heating element had burned out internally — it showed no continuity when checked with a multimeter. The pump assembly also had debris buildup that was restricting water flow, which likely contributed to the heating element overworking and failing prematurely. Bosch dishwashers rely on precise water circulation to distribute heated water effectively, so when the pump struggles, the heating element compensates by running longer and hotter than designed.

Repair: Work: Removed old heat pump unit, cleared debris from water lines, installed new assembly · Parts: 12008381 — heat pump assembly (combines heating element and circulation pump) · Result: Ran full wash cycle with heated dry — no error codes, proper water temperature throughout

Maytag washer (MVWB300WQ1) — Dellroy, OH

Reported: The homeowner reported that their Maytag MVWB300WQ1 washer would fill and agitate normally but wouldn’t drain the water out at the end of the wash cycle. Clothes came out dripping wet, and the machine displayed error codes intermittently. The washer had been making grinding noises during the spin cycle for several weeks before completely failing to drain.

Diagnosis: Testing revealed a completely failed drain pump that wouldn’t turn on when voltage was applied. The pump housing showed signs of internal bearing failure with metal shavings in the volute. Additionally, the main tub bearings had developed excessive play, causing the unbalanced load (UL) error that prevented proper spin cycles. This combination of failures is common on this model after 8-10 years of use, especially with heavy wash loads.

Repair: Work: Removed old pump and bearings, installed new components, reassembled transmission housing · Parts: W10536347 drain pump assembly, W10435302 bearing kit · Result: Completed full wash cycle with proper drain and spin, no error codes

Whirlpool dryer (washer-mvwb750wq1;dryer-medb850wq0;microwave&0ven(685) — Dover, OH

Reported: The customer reported that their dryer needs belt, along with several other appliances requiring attention. The dryer was not operating properly, leading them to suspect belt issues.

Diagnosis: Upon inspection, we found the idler pulley had failed and the heat element was also defective. These components work together to maintain proper drum operation and heating function in the dryer.

Repair: Work: Replaced idler pulley and heat element on dryer · Parts: WPW10547292 (idler pulley), WP8544771 (heat element) · Result: Dryer restored to full operation with proper heating and drum function

Maytag dryer (MEDC500VW0) — East Canton, OH

Reported: The customer reported the dryer would click when they pressed start but wouldn’t actually begin the drying cycle. The door appeared to close properly and the control panel was responsive, but no matter which cycle they selected, the unit remained inactive after pressing start. This symptom typically points to either a door switch failure or a drive belt issue.

Diagnosis: With the dryer unplugged, I removed the top panel to access the door switch mechanism. The door switch assembly showed signs of wear and wasn’t making proper electrical contact when the door closed. Using a multimeter, I confirmed the switch wasn’t completing the circuit that tells the control board the door is securely latched. I also found moderate lint buildup in the door switch compartment, which can accelerate switch failure by interfering with the mechanical operation.

Repair: Work: Removed old switch, cleaned lint from compartment, installed new door switch assembly · Parts: WP3406107 — door switch assembly · Result: Tested multiple cycles to verify proper door sensing and normal start operation

GE oven (JBP64B0B4WH) — East Canton, OH

Reported: The customer reported that their oven was taking much longer than usual to preheat and wasn’t reaching the set temperature. Additionally, one of the surface burner elements wasn’t heating at all. These symptoms pointed to element failure — both the oven’s bake element and one of the cooktop elements.

Diagnosis: Visual inspection revealed the bake element had developed a visible break in the coil, which prevents electrical current from flowing through properly. The surface burner element showed similar damage. On GE ranges like this JBP64B0B4WH, elements typically fail due to repeated thermal cycling over time, causing the metal coil to weaken and eventually crack.

Repair: Work: Removed failed elements, installed new bake and surface burner elements, reconnected wiring · Parts: WB44T10010 — range oven bake element, WB30T10047 — surface burner element (6-inch) · Result: Oven now preheats to correct temperature within normal time frame, surface burner operates properly

Maytag dryer (MEDC465HW0) — East Canton, OH

Reported: The customer reported their dryer would start normally but never advance through the cycle. The timer dial remained stuck in place while the drum kept tumbling and the heating element stayed on. After running for several hours straight, they had to manually shut it off to prevent overheating.

Diagnosis: Recent thunderstorms had caused a power surge that damaged the timer motor mechanism. The electrical contacts inside the timer were welded together, preventing the normal sequence that advances the dial and eventually shuts off the dryer. This is a common failure mode when lightning strikes overwhelm household surge protection.

Repair: Work: Removed control panel, disconnected wiring harness, installed new timer, verified proper connection sequence · Parts: WPW10185992 — timer assembly · Result: Ran complete test cycles to confirm normal timing progression and automatic shutoff

Kenmore oven/stove (911.4368413) — East Sparta, OH

Reported: The customer reported their dryer was running but producing no heat, making it impossible to dry clothes. Additionally, multiple burners on their Kenmore range had stopped working entirely. Both appliances are part of the same model series and showed signs of age-related component failure.

Diagnosis: Testing the dryer revealed a failed cycling thermostat and burned-out heating element — both critical components for heat generation. On the range side, we found faulty surface elements and worn-out infinite heat switches that control burner operation. The indicator lights were also dim due to failed bulbs, making it difficult for the customer to see burner status.

Repair: Work: Replaced all failed heating and control components on both appliances · Parts: 279838 heating element, 279816 cycling thermostat, 4392061 surface elements, WB21X36771 infinite heat switch kit, WB25M3 indicator lights, WB25T10042 red lens jewels · Result: Dryer now heats properly and all range burners function normally with clear indicator lights

Kenmore oven (79090214012) — Green, OH

Reported: The homeowner reported that no matter what temperature they set, the front left burner would burn food consistently. This made cooking frustrating and unreliable, as they couldn’t trust the burner to maintain proper heat levels for any recipe.

Diagnosis: Testing the burner switch revealed it was stuck in a partially-on position, unable to cycle properly to maintain the selected temperature. The infinite switch is designed to turn the heating element on and off to regulate temperature, but this one was sending continuous power regardless of the setting. This caused the burner to run too hot, explaining why everything was burning.

Repair: Work: Removed control panel, disconnected faulty switch, installed new infinite switch · Parts: 316436001 — infinite switch for large burner · Result: Tested all temperature settings to verify proper cycling and heat control

LG washer (WT4801CW) — Hartville, OH

Reported: The washer was producing a loud grinding noise that intensified during spin cycles and became more pronounced with heavier loads. The customer noticed the noise had been gradually getting worse over several weeks, and they were concerned about potential damage to other components.

Diagnosis: We removed the outer tub and inspected the drive system. The bearing housing assembly showed significant wear patterns and metal shavings around the bearing races. This wear allowed the wash basket to wobble during operation, creating the grinding noise. The clutch housing was also beginning to show stress fractures from the increased movement.

Repair: Work: Disassembled tub assembly, replaced worn bearing housing, reassembled with proper torque specifications · Parts: AEN73131403 — bearing housing assembly clutch · Result: Ran full wash and spin cycles with no noise or vibration

Speed queen dryer (ADGE8RGS113TW01) — Hartville, OH

Reported: When it first starts up drum makes grinding noise. This fades in a couple minutes. The customer was experiencing the classic symptoms of worn drum support components that create friction during the initial startup phase before settling into normal operation.

Diagnosis: Upon inspection, we found multiple worn drive components causing the grinding noise. The idler pulley, support rollers, belt, and front drum slides all showed signs of wear and needed replacement. Additionally, significant lint buildup throughout the dryer cabinet was contributing to the mechanical stress on these components.

Repair: Work: Replaced idler pulley, support rollers, belt, and front drum slides. Cleaned all the lint from the dryer cabinet. · Parts: 2x 56461P (SHAFT, WHEEL), 1x D519214 (dryer maintenance kit) · Result: Unit is good to go.

Samsung dishwasher — Hartville, OH

Reported: The customer reported their Samsung dishwasher not draining. The unit displayed an LC1 error code, which indicates a drainage issue preventing the wash cycle from completing properly.

Diagnosis: Investigation revealed broke pieces of plastic that was blocking one-way valve downstream from pump. This blockage prevented proper water evacuation from the dishwasher tub, triggering the LC1 error code and stopping normal operation.

Repair: Work: Cleared broke pieces of plastic that was blocking one-way valve downstream from pump · Parts: No parts needed · Result: Dishwasher draining properly, LC1 error cleared

Speed queen dryer (ADGE8RGS113TW01) — Hartville, OH

Reported: When it first starts up drum makes grinding noise. This fades in a couple minutes.

Maytag dryer (LDE5005ACE) — Homeworth, OH

Reported: The dryer would start and heat normally, but clothes weren’t drying. The customer noticed the unit was unusually quiet during operation — a telltale sign of blower wheel failure. Without proper airflow, heated air couldn’t circulate through the drum to remove moisture from clothes.

Diagnosis: We found the plastic blower wheel had multiple stress cracks radiating from the center hub. The wheel was spinning loosely on the motor shaft instead of maintaining the tight connection needed to move air. The heating element was functioning correctly, but without the blower wheel drawing air through the system, the dryer couldn’t perform its basic function.

Repair: Work: Removed old cracked wheel, cleaned motor shaft, installed new blower wheel with proper torque specifications · Parts: Y303836 — Blower wheel assembly · Result: Verified strong airflow at exhaust vent and completed full dry cycle test

Admiral oven (FEF366EMD) — Homeworth, OH

Reported: The homeowner reported that their oven coil wasn’t working and the unit was taking an excessive amount of time to preheat. The oven would barely reach temperature, making cooking nearly impossible.

Diagnosis: Visual inspection revealed a burned-out bake element at the bottom of the oven cavity. The element showed clear signs of failure with visible damage to the coil. This is the primary heating component for baking and explains why the oven couldn’t maintain proper temperature during the preheat cycle.

Repair: Work: Removed the failed bake element and installed the replacement · Parts: 316075103 — bake element · Result: Oven now heats to proper temperature with normal preheat times

Frigidaire oven (FGB557CEBF) — Homeworth, OH

Reported: The oven wouldn’t respond to any settings — preheat, bake, or broil modes all failed to ignite. There were no clicking sounds from the igniter and no gas smell, indicating the safety valve wasn’t opening. The homeowner had already tried resetting the circuit breaker with no success.

Diagnosis: We tested the igniter with a multimeter and found it was drawing insufficient amperage to trigger the gas valve. Frigidaire igniters on this model typically fail by weakening over time — they’ll glow but can’t pull enough current to complete the ignition sequence. The igniter was glowing dim orange instead of bright white, confirming it needed replacement.

Repair: Work: Removed old igniter, installed new unit, tested gas valve operation · Parts: 318177710 — oven igniter assembly · Result: Oven burner lit immediately and preheated to 350°F in 5.5 minutes

Whirlpool oven/stove and dishwasher (LFEF3017LWC, DU1055XTS02) — Kent, OH

Reported: The customer reported that their dishwasher model DU1055XTS02 was leaving dishes dirty even after full cycles, while their oven model LFEF3017LWC was running dangerously hot, exceeding set temperatures by significant margins. Both appliances had been declining in performance over several weeks before becoming completely unreliable.

Diagnosis: Testing the dishwasher revealed severely restricted water flow due to a completely blocked pump filter packed with food debris and grease buildup. The oven’s control board had failed, causing temperature sensor misreadings that led to continuous heating cycles. The faulty control board was no longer properly regulating the heating elements, creating a safety hazard.

Repair: Work: Installed new control board in oven, thoroughly cleaned and flushed dishwasher pump filter system · Parts: 5304509493 — control board/clock assembly for oven · Result: Oven now maintains accurate temperatures, dishwasher restored to full cleaning performance with proper water circulation

GE dishwasher (GSD2100V50BB) — Kent, OH

Reported: The customer reported their GE dishwasher won’t drain. This is a common concern that can indicate clogs, pump issues, or drainage problems.

Diagnosis: Upon arrival, the dishwasher was operating correctly at time of service. Sometimes drainage issues resolve themselves or may be intermittent, but proper maintenance is still important for optimal performance.

Repair: Work: Ran a cleaning cycle with affresh cleaner · Result: Dishwasher operating correctly

Kenmore oven (790.74033313) — Lisbon, OH

Reported: The homeowner reported that their Kenmore oven suddenly stopped working. The control panel displayed loc and the oven lock light was blinking, but the door could still be opened manually. Despite the door being unlocked, the oven would not heat or respond to any cooking settings.

Diagnosis: The issue was a broken oven door lock mechanism. On this Kenmore model, the door lock system communicates with the main control board to verify secure door closure before allowing oven operation. When the lock motor fails, it sends inconsistent signals to the control board, which interprets this as a safety fault and prevents the oven from starting. The blinking lock light and loc display were the control system’s way of indicating this fault condition.

Repair: Work: Removed the old lock mechanism, installed the new motor assembly, and reconnected all electrical connections · Parts: 316464300 — oven door lock motor assembly · Result: Completed functional tests to verify proper door lock operation, oven startup sequence, and heating cycles

Maytag washer (MVWC565FW1) — Lisbon, OH

Reported: The customer reported their MVWC565FW1 would fill with water but then get stuck on sensing load indefinitely. The drum wouldn’t advance to the wash or spin cycles. This is a classic symptom of actuator failure on Maytag’s top-load platform — the control board can’t get proper feedback about water level and load size.

Diagnosis: The actuator assembly had failed internally, preventing proper communication between the tub position sensor and the main control. Additionally, the cold water inlet filter was severely clogged with mineral deposits, restricting flow and confusing the water level sensors. Both issues combined to lock the washer in perpetual sensing mode.

Repair: Work: Removed old actuator, installed new unit, cleaned cold water inlet filter · Parts: W10913953 — actuator assembly · Result: Ran full test cycle — proper sensing, filling, washing, and spinning confirmed

Whirlpool washer (WFW92HEFW0) — Louisville, OH

Reported: The customer reported that their washer door was locked shut and the unit wouldn’t drain after the last cycle. The display showed error codes intermittently, but the washer was completely non-responsive to button presses. Water remained standing in the drum, and the door latch stayed engaged even with the unit powered off.

Diagnosis: Removing the top panel revealed the root cause: the plastic housing around the main control board had cracked and separated. This allowed the control board assembly to shift position, pulling several wire harnesses loose from their connections. Without these critical control signals, the washer couldn’t complete its drain cycle or release the door lock mechanism. The housing failure appears to be from normal vibration stress over time on this 2019 model.

Repair: Work: Removed damaged control board, installed new assembly, reconnected all wire harnesses · Parts: W10864049 — main control board assembly with housing · Result: Ran complete test cycle with drain, spin, and door lock functions all operating normally

Maytag washer (MVWX700XL2) — Louisville, OH

Reported: The washer would start cycles normally but struggled to drain completely between phases. At the end of wash cycles, it would hesitate and sometimes stop mid-transition, leaving clothes sitting in standing water. The homeowner noticed this had been getting progressively worse over several weeks.

Diagnosis: Testing revealed two issues working together. The inlet screens were severely clogged with mineral deposits and debris, restricting water flow. More critically, the shift actuator (WPW10006355) had internal wear that prevented it from properly signaling cycle transitions. This combination caused the sluggish draining and hesitant cycling the customer experienced.

Repair: Work: Removed and cleaned inlet screens, installed new shift actuator, ran calibration cycle · Parts: WPW10006355 — shift actuator · Result: Full cycle test confirmed proper drainage and smooth transitions between all phases

KitchenAid oven/stove (KERS505XSS03) — Louisville, OH

Reported: The customer reported that the left rear burner on their KitchenAid model KERS505XSS03 wasn’t heating at all. Additionally, both light bulbs in the exhaust hood had burned out, leaving the cooking surface poorly lit during evening meal preparation.

Diagnosis: Testing each burner confirmed the left rear surface element had failed completely — no continuity when measured with a multimeter. The exhaust hood bulbs showed the telltale blackening inside the glass that indicates normal end-of-life burnout. Both issues were wear-related failures typical for this model’s age range.

Repair: Work: Removed old surface element, installed replacement, replaced both exhaust hood bulbs · Parts: WP8273994 surface element, (2) 8206232A 40W light bulbs · Result: All four burners heating properly, exhaust hood lighting fully restored

Kenmore oven (79094332700) — Louisville, OH

Reported: The customer reported that their front left burner would only operate at maximum heat regardless of where they set the control knob. The burner stayed glowing red-hot even when turned to low or medium settings. This created an obvious safety concern and made precise cooking impossible.

Diagnosis: The infinite switch controls power flow to the burner element by cycling on and off to maintain selected temperatures. When we tested this Kenmore model 79094332700, the switch had failed internally and was sending continuous full voltage to the element. The contacts inside the switch were welded shut, bypassing the temperature control mechanism entirely.

Repair: Work: Disconnected power, removed control knob and mounting hardware, replaced faulty switch with new unit · Parts: 316436001 — infinite switch for large burner element · Result: Tested all heat settings from low to high, burner now cycles properly and maintains accurate temperatures

Admiral refrigerator (GNE29GMKGES) — Louisville, OH

Reported: The customer reported inconsistent cooling throughout the refrigerator. The bottom drawer and crisper area were freezing items solid, but the upper shelves and door bins couldn’t maintain proper refrigeration temperatures. The freezer section worked normally, which pointed to an air circulation issue rather than a compressor problem.

Diagnosis: We found the evaporator fan motor had seized up completely. This fan is responsible for pulling cold air from the evaporator coils in the freezer and pushing it through ducts into the fresh food section. Without this circulation, cold air settles in the bottom of the unit while warm air rises to the top shelves. The motor showed signs of bearing failure and wouldn’t turn even when power was applied directly.

Repair: Work: Removed old motor, installed new fan assembly, tested airflow through all vents · Parts: WR60X26866 — evaporator fan motor assembly · Result: Verified proper air circulation and temperature distribution throughout both compartments

Admiral dishwasher (FFBD2411NS3A) — Louisville, OH

Reported: The dishwasher showed no signs of life when the customer tried to start a cycle. Despite having power to the unit, pressing any button on the control panel produced no response — no display lights, no error codes, and no motor activation. The appliance was completely unresponsive.

Diagnosis: We confirmed proper 120V power supply at the junction box and traced the electrical path through the dishwasher’s wiring harness. The control board was receiving power but failing to send any output signals to the display or motor controls. Testing revealed the main processor on the control board had failed, leaving the entire unit inoperable.

Repair: Work: Disconnected power, removed old control board, installed replacement board, reconnected all wire harnesses · Parts: 5304512731 — main control board assembly · Result: All control functions restored, dishwasher completed full test cycle successfully

Estate washer (TAWX700JQ3) — Louisville, OH

Reported: The customer reported their washer was full of water and doesn’t work at all. The machine would fill but then sit idle, unable to proceed with any wash functions.

Diagnosis: The lid switch had failed. The washer filled and then didn’t do anything. When the lid switch fails, the washer’s safety system prevents all agitation, draining, and spinning operations, leaving the tub full of water.

Repair: Work: Replaced the failed lid switch · Parts: WP8318084 — lid switch · Result: After replacing the switch, it’s washing, draining and spinning correctly

Admiral Washer; dryer (Stack dryer and 40lb) — Louisville, OH

Reported: The customer reported that Dexter stack dryer number 1 was not heating again. Additionally, the Wascomat with an out-of-order tag on it kept running after the last visit and was stuck during the cycle and wouldn’t shut off.

Diagnosis: We diagnosed the Continental with a door latch problem. The Wascomat needed a timer replacement, and the Dexter dryer required a replacement thermostat to restore proper heating function.

Repair: Work: Replaced the latch and recommended replacing the door on the Continental unit, installed timer and thermostat on scheduled parts installation date · Parts: Door latch for Continental, timer for Wascomat, thermostat for Dexter dryer · Result: Parts were installed on March 16, 2020, restoring proper operation to all units

Samsung washer (WA45N3050AW/A4) — Louisville, OH

Reported: The washer would start a cycle normally but then beep and stop partway through. No error codes on the display, just intermittent operation that left clothes sitting in dirty water. The customer had noticed the issue getting worse over several weeks.

Diagnosis: The water inlet screens at both the hot and cold supply lines were completely clogged with sediment and mineral buildup. These tiny mesh filters protect the washer’s fill valves, but when they’re blocked, water flow drops to almost nothing. The machine’s sensors detect insufficient water pressure and shut down the cycle to prevent damage.

Repair: Work: Removed and cleaned both hot and cold water inlet screens, demonstrated proper cleaning technique to customer · Parts: None required · Result: Full water flow restored, all cycles completing normally

Frigidaire refrigerator (LGHB2867PF0) — Louisville, OH

Reported: The customer reported no ice production from their Frigidaire refrigerator. Water dispensing worked normally, but the icemaker had stopped functioning entirely.

Diagnosis: We found the icemaker mold sensor was 25° off and reading warm. The valve was not activating properly. There was also an ice ball formation on the rear of the refrigerator, indicating broader cooling system issues.

Repair: Work: Diagnostic evaluation completed · Parts: No parts replaced · Result: Repair not recommended due to multiple system failures

Frigidaire range (PLCS389DCB) — Louisville, OH

Reported: The customer reported their oven not heating correctly on their Frigidaire range.

Diagnosis: During our inspection, we determined the unit needs a bake element at a minimum. However, we were unable to remove the range from the counter to perform complete testing and confirm if additional repairs would be needed.

Repair: Work: Diagnostic evaluation · Parts: No parts replaced · Result: Customer opted to purchase a new unit rather than proceed with repairs

Maytag dryer (LDE9206ACE) — Louisville, OH

Reported: The salon reported their Maytag dryer was producing rubbing sounds and grinding sounds during cycles. These symptoms indicated mechanical wear in the drum support system that could worsen quickly in a commercial setting.

Diagnosis: Inspection revealed the front bearings had worn out, causing the drum to rub against the housing. The tumbler seal was also compromised, and the drive belt showed signs of stress from the misalignment. This combination of worn components was creating the grinding noise the salon staff heard.

Repair: Work: Replaced front bearings and seal and belt · Parts: 306508-KIT-BEARNG — front bearing kit, WP314820-SEAL-TUMB — tumbler seal, WPY312959-BELT — drive belt · Result: Dryer operates quietly with proper drum alignment and smooth rotation

Whirlpool washer (WTW5000DW2) — Magnolia, OH

Reported: The washer would fill, agitate, and drain normally, but clothes remained very wet after the spin cycle completed. This is a classic symptom of spin basket failure, typically caused by a broken hub that can no longer transfer power from the transmission to rotate the basket at high speed.

Diagnosis: We removed the agitator and found the hub (part W10528947) had cracked and stripped internally. This plastic component takes significant stress during spin cycles, and on this model it’s a known wear point after several years of use. When the hub fails, the spin basket can’t achieve the RPM needed to extract water from clothes.

Repair: Work: Removed agitator, replaced failed hub, reassembled washer · Parts: W10528947 — hub assembly · Result: Spin cycle now extracts water properly, clothes come out appropriately damp

Dexter Washer & dryer — Magnolia, OH

Reported: The Dexter washer (second from wall near front door) had faulty diaphragms and a dirty cold water screen affecting water flow. One dryer was marked out of order by customers reporting no heat.

Diagnosis: The washer’s diaphragms had failed and the cold water screen was clogged, restricting proper water delivery. For the dryer tagged with no heat, we were unable to replicate the problem during our service visit, suggesting intermittent operation or customer error in identifying the specific unit.

Repair: Work: Replaced diaphragms and cleaned cold water screen · Parts: Diaphragms on Dexter washer · Result: Washer restored to proper operation; dryer issue could not be replicated

Admiral freezer (FFFH20F2QW) — Magnolia, OH

Reported: The customer reported their Admiral freezer stopped running completely. The unit was not maintaining temperature and showed no signs of operation.

Diagnosis: Upon inspection, we found the cord control thermostat had failed. This component regulates the freezer’s operation and when it fails, the unit cannot run properly.

Repair: Work: Replaced the failed cord control thermostat · Parts: 5304513033 — Control-Temperature · Result: The freezer is operating correctly. Compressor and fan are both running

KitchenAid oven (KSGB900ESS0) — Malvern, OH

Reported: The homeowner contacted us when their KitchenAid KSGB900ESS0 gas range developed dual issues — the oven stopped heating entirely and the front right burner wouldn’t light. Both failures happened around the same time, suggesting a common electrical cause rather than separate component wear.

Diagnosis: Inside the range, we found the orange common wire leading to the bake/broil valve had been pinched and grounded out. This wire carries the control signal from the oven thermostat to the gas valve, so when it failed, the valve couldn’t open for baking or broiling. The front right burner’s spark module had also failed, preventing ignition even though gas flow was normal.

Repair: Work: Repaired the pinched wire connection to the bake/broil valve, replaced the faulty spark module and front right burner ignitor · Parts: W10496870 — surface burner ignitor, WPW10475149 — spark ignition module · Result: Both oven heating and burner ignition now function correctly, verified through complete operational testing

KitchenAid fridge (ABB1942WEW0, KERC607HWH4) — Malvern, OH

Reported: The customer reported that food spoils quickly in the refrigerator and the stove won’t preheat properly. Both appliances were located at their Lake Mohawk home, creating a frustrating situation where neither appliance was performing its basic function reliably.

Diagnosis: Our diagnosis revealed the Amana FDBM wasn’t cooling in the fridge section. For the oven, testing showed the bake function at 350°F wasn’t reaching proper temperature — readings showed 335°F when it should hit 350°F, indicating a faulty temperature sensor affecting preheating performance.

Repair: Work: Replaced refrigerator control board and oven temperature sensor · Parts: WPW10503278-BOARD-JAZZ, WP8053344 temp sensor in oven · Result: Both appliances restored to proper operation across two service visits

GE dishwasher (GDT695SGJ2BB) — Malvern, OH

Reported: The customer reported no power to controls on their GE dishwasher. The control panel was completely unresponsive with no display or button function.

Diagnosis: Testing revealed the UI (user interface) board had failed, cutting power to the control system. This is the circuit board that manages the display and button inputs for cycle selection.

Repair: Work: Installed UI board and set personality jumpers · Parts: UI board · Result: Good to go

GE refrigerator (CFE28TSHESS) — Massillon, OH

Reported: The customer reported their refrigerator wasn’t cooling well. The freezer maintained proper temperature, but the fresh food compartment couldn’t keep items cold. This is a classic symptom of fresh food fan failure in side-by-side GE models.

Diagnosis: The fresh food evaporator fan motor had seized up entirely. Without this fan running, cold air from the evaporator coils couldn’t circulate through the fresh food compartment. The freezer continued working normally because it has its own separate fan system. This is a common failure point on this CFE28TSHESS model after several years of operation.

Repair: Work: Removed failed fan motor and installed new unit with proper wiring connections · Parts: WR60X26866 — fresh food evaporator fan motor · Result: Fresh food compartment reached proper temperature within two hours

Admiral dishwasher (FGID2474QF0B) — Massillon, OH

Reported: The dishwasher showed an I20 error code on startup and would not begin any wash cycle. This code indicates a water level sensing issue, causing the control board to shut down operation as a safety measure. The unit was completely non-functional until repaired.

Diagnosis: The I20 error points directly to pressure sensor failure in Admiral dishwashers. This sensor monitors water level during fill and wash cycles — when it malfunctions, the control board thinks there’s a water overflow risk and locks out all functions. We confirmed the sensor was reading incorrectly and found a service bulletin covering this exact failure pattern on the FGID2474QF0B model.

Repair: Work: Removed old sensor, installed updated pressure sensor kit per service bulletin · Parts: 5304504077 — pressure sensor assembly · Result: Error code cleared, dishwasher completed full test cycle without issues

Samsung dryer (DV45H6300EG/A3) — Massillon, OH

Reported: The homeowner reported their Samsung DV45H6300EG/A3 dryer was making increasingly loud noises during operation before finally shutting down completely. The drum wouldn’t rotate properly, and the check vent light remained illuminated even with a clean vent system.

Diagnosis: Inside the dryer cabinet, we found the idler pulley had seized completely. This small but critical component maintains proper belt tension around the drum and motor pulley. When it fails, the belt can’t turn the drum, and the safety systems prevent the dryer from operating. The heating element assembly also showed signs of age-related deterioration and was replaced as preventive maintenance.

Repair: Work: Disassembled front panel and drum assembly, installed new idler pulley and heating element, reassembled with proper belt tension · Parts: DC93-00634A idler pulley assembly and DC93-00154A heating element duct assembly · Result: Drum rotation restored, all error codes cleared, normal drying cycle completed successfully

Maytag washer (MVWC655DW1) — Massillon, OH

Reported: The washer was producing strange noises during operation, particularly noticeable during the wash and spin cycles. The customer reported the sounds had gradually gotten worse over several weeks, suggesting progressive wear in the drive system components.

Diagnosis: We removed the cabinet and inspected the transmission assembly. The drive belt showed significant cracking and stretching, while the hub that connects the transmission to the wash basket had worn splines. These components work together to transfer power from the motor to the wash basket, and when they fail, they create the grinding and rattling noises the customer was hearing.

Repair: Work: Replaced transmission belt and hub assembly, reinstalled cabinet · Parts: W11454734 gearcase, W11239857 belt, W10528947 hub · Result: Completed test cycles with no unusual noises — washer operates quietly

Whirlpool dryer (GEQ8811LW0) — Massillon, OH

Reported: The customer reported their dryer spins but no heat. The drum would tumble clothes normally, but nothing would dry because the heating element wasn’t producing any heat.

Diagnosis: Heat element tested open. The dryer also had lots of lint in it, which likely contributed to the element overheating and burning out.

Repair: Work: I replaced the element and cleaned the lint out · Parts: WP3387747 — DRYER ELEMENT · Result: Good to go

Whirlpool dryer (GEW9250PW1) — Massillon, OH

Reported: The dryer will not display the Estimated Time Remaining for a cycle, therefore the dryer will not start. Without the display functioning properly, the control system couldn’t initiate any drying cycles, leaving the appliance completely inoperable.

Diagnosis: We determined the user interface board was the root cause of the display and startup issues. The electronic control board that manages the display and cycle functions had internal failures that prevented proper operation.

Repair: Work: Sent the user interface off to Core Centric to get rebuilt · Parts: LAB-REPAIR APPLIANCE, Board-Repair — user interface control board · Result: Issue is resolved

Whirlpool dishwasher (MDB7749SBM2) — Massillon, OH

Reported: The customer reported their dishwasher was not cleaning top rack dishes. Despite running full cycles, dishes came out still dirty with food particles remaining.

Diagnosis: The chopper and screen was missing from the wash pump inlet. As a result the spray arms were full of food and crud. The top spinner was also totally missing. Without these critical components, water couldn’t properly circulate to clean the upper dishes.

Repair: Result: Due to the cost of the repair, customer replaced the unit

NXR range (NK3611) — Mechanicstown, OH

Reported: The customer complained that the oven was not heating well and noticed a sporadic gas smell during operation.

Diagnosis: Testing revealed the igniter was pulling 3.1 amps, which is below the proper range of 3.3-3.6 amps needed for reliable operation. This weak current draw prevents the gas valve from opening consistently, causing poor heating and intermittent gas odors.

Repair: Work: Replaced igniter · Parts: 5303935066 — IGNITOR · Result: New igniter pulling 3.6 amps, lit in 40 seconds, preheated in 4 minutes

GE dryer (DCVH480EK0WW) — Mechanicstown, OH

Reported: The customer reported their dryer drum was stuck and not turning. The unit had completely stopped tumbling clothes during cycles.

Diagnosis: This is a Samsung made GE dryer. The idler pulley has the same problems that the rest of the Samsung dryers have. The motor on the dryer was also giving trouble during our follow-up visit.

Kenmore refrigerator (795.77309601) — Minerva, OH

Reported: The customer reported that their refrigerator’s interior light was behaving erratically, sometimes staying on when the door was closed and other times failing to illuminate properly when opened. This type of intermittent operation creates both energy waste and concerns about proper food storage conditions.

Diagnosis: Testing revealed that the light assembly itself had failed internally. The assembly’s switching mechanism was no longer responding reliably to the door position, causing the erratic on/off behavior. This particular Kenmore model uses an integrated harness assembly that controls both the light operation and door sensing function.

Repair: Work: Removed old light assembly and installed new harness assembly · Parts: 6621JK2003B — Harness Assembly · Result: Light now operates correctly with door opening and closing

Frigidaire washer (FWT645RHS0) — Minerva, OH

Reported: The customer called because their Frigidaire FWT645RHS0 washer wouldn’t drain water from the tub. After each cycle, clothes came out dripping wet and standing water remained at the bottom. The machine would advance through all cycles normally but skip the drain and spin phases.

Diagnosis: Testing revealed the drain pump was receiving power and making a humming noise, but the impeller wasn’t rotating. This indicates internal pump failure — typically caused by debris damage or normal wear on the motor windings. On this model, the pump is mounted at the bottom of the tub and handles all drainage during the wash and rinse cycles.

Repair: Work: Removed old pump, cleaned mounting area, installed new pump with fresh gaskets · Parts: 137108000 — drain pump assembly · Result: Ran full test cycle with proper drainage and high-speed spin

Peerless oven (EFK1020P01) — Minerva, OH

Reported: The customer reported that their oven wasn’t heating correctly and suspected the bottom heating element was failing. When we arrived, we found the bake element had literally burnt in half, with visible damage to the coil where it had overheated and separated.

Diagnosis: The lower bake element (part 2397) had failed catastrophically. This happens when the heating coil develops a hot spot, usually due to age or manufacturing defects in the element wire. Once the element burns through, no current can flow, so the oven loses its primary heat source.

Repair: Work: Removed the damaged element, installed new heating element, tested connections · Parts: 2397 — Lower bake element · Result: Oven heated to proper temperature and maintained even heat distribution

Frigidaire oven (Fgf348kcd) — Minerva, OH

Reported: The customer reported that their oven would not light when turned on. Gas was flowing to the burner, but there was no spark or flame. The igniter would glow briefly but wasn’t generating enough heat to open the gas safety valve, preventing ignition entirely.

Diagnosis: Testing revealed that the oven igniter was drawing insufficient amperage — only about 2.5 amps instead of the required 3.2-3.6 amps needed to open the gas valve. The igniter element had weakened over time, a typical wear pattern for this Frigidaire model. The gas supply and all wiring connections tested normal.

Repair: Work: Removed old igniter, installed new igniter assembly, tested gas valve operation · Parts: 5303935066 — Oven igniter kit with mounting nut · Result: Oven now lights consistently within 60 seconds and maintains proper flame

Samsung washer (WA50R5400AV/US) — Minerva, OH

Reported: The customer reported their Samsung washer won’t spin out. Clothes were coming out of the wash cycle completely soaked, indicating the machine wasn’t completing its spin cycle to extract water from the load.

Diagnosis: Shock absorbers were worn and unit was going out of balance. When shock absorbers fail on a Samsung front-load washer, the drum movement becomes erratic during high-speed spin cycles, triggering safety sensors that prevent the machine from reaching proper spin speeds.

Repair: Work: Replaced shock absorbers and helped customer balance machine · Parts: DC97-16350UCM — Shocks · Result: Good to go

Samsung washer (WA45M7050/A4 02) — Minerva, OH

Reported: The customer reported water not going into machine and that the drum seems loose. They had already cleaned hot and cold water screens but the washer still wouldn’t fill properly.

Diagnosis: The cold water inlet screen was plugged with water softener resin. The rest of the machine was cycling properly. The customer had a plumber from Louisville install a new water softener and they have are having ongoing issues with the softener. It’s still not working properly and releasing softener resin into the household plumbing system.

Repair: Work: Cleaned cold water inlet screen of water softener resin · Parts: No parts recorded · Result: Machine resumed proper water filling cycle

Whirlpool washer (CAE2745FQO) — Munroe Falls, OH

Reported: The customer called because their washer was full of water. However, when we arrived for the service call, we didn’t find water sitting in the machine as initially reported.

Diagnosis: Running the manual diagnostic revealed the real problem — a grinding noise during the spin cycle. We found that the transmission mounting bolts had worked loose, causing the basket to rub on the tub in the spin cycle.

Repair: Work: Re-tightened transmission mounting bolts · Parts: No parts needed · Result: Physically ran through complete cycle — 35 minutes for the cycle, looks good

GE range/cooktop (JB645DK1WW) — New Philadelphia, OH

Reported: The customer reported that neither the oven or surface burners work. The clock has power. This symptom pattern suggested the range wasn’t getting full 240-volt power, since the clock operates on 120 volts while the heating elements require the full 240-volt supply.

Diagnosis: The receptacle outlet had a loose connection so the oven was not getting 240 v. Electric ranges require a dedicated 240-volt circuit, and when connections become loose, the appliance can lose proper power delivery while still showing some electrical activity like a working clock display.

Repair: Work: Tightened the loose connection at the receptacle outlet · Parts: None required · Result: The stove operation is normal

Samsung dryer (DV50K8600EW/A3) — North Canton, OH

Reported: The customer reported loud grinding and screeching sounds coming from inside the dryer drum during operation. The noise was so severe it could be heard throughout the house. The dryer was still running and completing cycles, but the mechanical sounds indicated serious internal component failure.

Diagnosis: We disassembled the dryer cabinet and found the idler pulley had completely seized, causing the drive belt to slip and create that grinding noise. The heating element assembly was also warped from excessive heat buildup, likely caused by restricted airflow when the pulley wasn’t maintaining proper belt tension. The thermal safety components had also tripped due to the overheating condition.

Repair: Work: Complete disassembly, pulley and heating element replacement, belt tension adjustment, thermal component reset · Parts: DC93-00634A idler pulley assembly, DC93-00154A heating element duct assembly · Result: Dryer runs silently with proper heat output and airflow

Frigidaire refrigerator (FFTR1814TW0) — North Canton, OH

Reported: The customer reported their FFTR1814TW0 refrigerator wasn’t maintaining proper temperatures, and the unit was running constantly with excessive noise. Food wasn’t staying cold, and they noticed frost building up inside the freezer compartment.

Diagnosis: Our inspection revealed a loose door gasket that wasn’t sealing properly against the cabinet frame. This allowed warm, humid air to enter the refrigerator, causing the evaporator to frost over and the compressor to run continuously trying to maintain temperature. The defrost system and fans were operating correctly — the seal was the culprit.

Repair: Work: Removed old gasket, cleaned mounting surfaces, installed new seal · Parts: 242193206 — refrigerator door gasket · Result: Proper cabinet seal restored, temperatures stabilized, noise reduced to normal levels

KitchenAid dishwasher (KUDL40CVSS2) — North Canton, OH

Reported: The customer reported that dishes were coming out dirty even after full wash cycles, with noticeable water spotting on glassware. The dishwasher was completing its cycles normally, but the cleaning results had steadily declined over recent weeks.

Diagnosis: We removed the top dish rack to access the upper spray arm assembly. The spray arm had worked loose from its bracket, causing it to sit at the wrong angle and reducing water pressure to the upper rack. This misalignment prevented proper water circulation, leaving food particles on dishes and creating the spotting issues the customer experienced.

Repair: Work: Repositioned top spray arm into correct bracket alignment · Parts: None required · Result: Ran test cycle to verify proper spray pattern and water pressure distribution

Admiral oven (FGET3065PFC) — North Canton, OH

Reported: The customer reported that the top oven compartment wouldn’t heat properly, taking much longer than normal to reach set temperatures. The control panel was displaying an F14 error code intermittently, indicating a communication problem between the oven control and heating elements.

Diagnosis: Visual inspection showed the baking element was visibly burnt with dark spots and distortion. Testing revealed the element had lost continuity, while the F14 code pointed to control panel issues. Further investigation found the wire harness connecting to the control had deteriorated insulation, and the ribbon cable inside the control panel had broken — likely from heat stress over time.

Repair: Work: Removed damaged components, installed new baking element and harness, replaced control panel with intact ribbon connections · Parts: 318601604 — baking element, 5304517327 — wire harness, control panel assembly · Result: Oven now heats to 350°F in 10 minutes, all error codes cleared, temperature holds steady

Kenmore oven (790.70502013) — North Canton, OH

Reported: The customer reported that their oven ignitor would glow for several minutes but the oven never heated up. This is the classic symptom of a failing ignitor — it has enough strength to glow but lacks the electrical draw needed to signal the gas valve to open.

Diagnosis: We tested the ignitor’s amperage draw and found it was pulling only 2.8 amps. Kenmore gas ovens require the ignitor to draw between 3.2 and 3.6 amps to open the gas valve and allow proper ignition. The weak ignitor was the root cause — it had degraded internally and could no longer generate sufficient current draw.

Repair: Work: Removed old ignitor, installed new ignitor with proper mounting hardware · Parts: 5303935066 — Ignitor oven kit with nut · Result: Oven now ignites within 60 seconds and maintains proper temperature cycling

Maytag dryer (MDE3600AYW) — North Canton, OH

Reported: The dryer was producing loud screeching noises throughout the entire cycle. The customer reported the sound had gotten progressively worse over several weeks. While the unit was still heating and tumbling clothes, the noise made it unusable, especially during evening hours.

Diagnosis: We removed the top and front panels to access the drum assembly. The heating element tested fine, but inspection revealed the rear support roller bearing had seized up completely. This caused the heavy drum to drag against the roller housing, creating metal-on-metal contact and that characteristic screeching sound. The roller itself showed significant wear and wouldn’t turn freely.

Repair: Work: Removed drum, replaced failed roller, reassembled unit · Parts: 12001541 — rear support roller assembly · Result: Silent operation restored, drum rotates smoothly

KitchenAid dishwasher (KDPE234GPS0) — North Canton, OH

Reported: The homeowner reported poor cleaning performance with dishes coming out still dirty and glasses showing water spots. The dishwasher was completing its cycles normally but wasn’t getting items clean, even with proper detergent loading.

Diagnosis: Inspection of the spray arms revealed significant blockages from food particles and grease buildup in the holes. Additionally, the dishwasher wasn’t sitting level, which affects water circulation and drainage. These two issues combined were preventing proper water flow and cleaning action throughout the wash cycle.

Repair: Work: Removed and thoroughly cleaned all spray arms, adjusted unit leveling legs · Parts: None required · Result: Completed test cycle with full cleaning performance restored

Maytag oven (8114P734-6012-99-00) — North Canton, OH

Reported: The customer reported that the top oven in their Maytag double wall oven wouldn’t heat at all. The unit would turn on and display settings normally, but no heat was generated regardless of temperature setting or cooking mode. This left them with only the bottom oven functional during their busy holiday cooking season.

Diagnosis: Testing revealed a complete failure of the oven control board. The board was receiving power but wasn’t sending proper signals to the heating elements or temperature sensors. With this being a discontinued model (8114P734-6012-99-00), new replacement control boards were no longer manufactured or available through normal parts channels.

Repair: Work: Removed failed control board and sent for professional electronic repair · Parts: Control board (repaired at Core Centric) · Result: Board reinstalled and oven now heats properly across all temperature ranges

Admiral oven (FGGF3032MFD) — North Canton, OH

Reported: The homeowner reported that two burners on their Admiral model FGGF3032MFD wouldn’t ignite at all. You could hear the gas flowing when turning the control knobs, but no spark occurred. The other burners worked normally, which pointed to specific component failures rather than a gas supply issue.

Diagnosis: Testing revealed the spark module had failed and wasn’t sending electrical signals to the affected burners. The ignitor assemblies on those two burners had also worn out over time. When spark modules fail, they typically affect multiple burners since they control the ignition system for the entire cooktop. The ignitors showed carbon buildup and electrode wear that prevented proper spark formation.

Repair: Work: Removed old spark module, installed new module with fresh wiring harness, replaced both failed ignitor assemblies · Parts: 5304508269 spark module kit, 316536622 ignitor/orifice assembly, 316536602 ignitor/orifice assembly, 5304494425 wiring harness, 316540900 mounting screw · Result: All burners now ignite immediately with strong, consistent spark
