The refrigerator was very hot between the freezer door and the refrigerator doors, I pulled the refrigerator out from the wall and saw the condenser fan motor not running. I checked for 12 Volts DC at the RED and BLACK wire connections to the condenser fan motor, while the compressor was running, and saw 12 Volts DC on my multimeter, so the main control board was putting out the proper voltage. I ordered and replaced the condenser fan motor and it worked great! Here is the condenser fan motor you this model: WR60X23363 Fan Gasket Asm Jake ..read more

I went out to the customers house and their refrigerator was not cooling in the freezer or refrigerator sections. I pulled the refrigerator out from the wall and removed the rear lower access panel and the compressor was not running at all, but the condenser fan motor, that mounts next to the compressor, was running. Then I checked for 120 volts AC at the two larger wires that go to the compressor invertor board and 120 volts AC was present and on the two smaller wires I was getting 5 volts DC, which means the compressor inverter was the bad part. I then unplugged the refrigerator and I replac ..read more

Then I disconnected the flame sensor and ohm test that, its located on the side of the burner tube, and that ohm test bad, no continuity going through it. I replaced the flame sensor and it started heating and worked great! Here’s the flame sensor for this model: Flame Sensor WP338906 Jake ..read more

WTW5000DW1 Whirlpool Washer No Cold Water

Went out to this service call and the customer said she could not get any cold water to flow into the tub when its filling, just hot water. I removed the console and used my multimeter to test for 120 volts at the cold water side of the water inlet valve solenoid when it should be filling with cold water, my meter read 120 volts. So that means the cold water side solenoid was bad. On this model you can’t get the cold water side solenoid only, you have to replace the complete water inlet valve which includes both the hot and cold solenoids. I installed a new one and it worked great! Here’s the ..read more

Went out on a service call and the complaint was the washer would not spin. I first unplugged the washer and ohm tested the lid switch for continuity, while I activated the lever on it.

When I arrived the washer was not spinning, and the sensor light was flashing when I put it in a drain/spin cycle to test it. The tech sheet is located inside the washer taped to the inner front panel, after you raise the top you will see it. This video shows you how to raise the top. Go into diagnostics and retrieve the codes, and clear them. If, when in diagnostics the codes are F7E1, F7E5, or motor speed codes, then chances are it is a motor, capacitor, or shifter related issue. Once the codes are cleared, put the washer into a manual diagnostic test and run the HEAVY AGITATION; if after 15 ..read more
