A customer in Green, OH called about two appliance issues: their Admiral refrigerator was leaking from the inside, and their General Electric dishwasher wasn’t cleaning the top rack. We found problems with both units that required different solutions.
The Problem
The fridge was leaking from the inside, creating water where it shouldn’t be. The dishwasher wasn’t cleaning the top rack properly, leaving dishes still dirty after a full cycle.
Diagnosis
The Admiral refrigerator needed a new evaporator cover and drain trough. However, the trough is no longer available as a replacement part. The dishwasher spray arms were plugged with calcium build up, preventing proper water flow to the upper rack.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: None — refrigerator parts unavailable, dishwasher cleaned without replacement parts
- Work performed: Cleaned calcium buildup from dishwasher spray arms
- Result: Dishwasher restored to proper operation; refrigerator replacement recommended
Is It Worth Repairing?
Due to the price of the parts and the repair being short term, the customer opted to replace the refrigerator. When key components are discontinued and repairs offer only temporary fixes, replacement becomes the more practical choice. The dishwasher cleaning resolved that unit’s issues completely.
Maintenance Tips for Admiral Refrigerators and General Electric Dishwashers
- Check refrigerator drain lines regularly to prevent water buildup and leaks
- Use Affresh dishwasher cleaner monthly to prevent calcium buildup in spray arms
- Remove and rinse dishwasher spray arms quarterly to maintain proper water flow
