Today I received a call about a water heater not heating in Warner Robins GA.  The first thing I always do is check for proper power.  Most water heaters operate on 220v – 240v.  The power was good.  Next I checked the elements.  Turn off the breaker or pull the fuse that goes to the […]

Got a call from a moving company in Macon GA about preparing appliances to be moved.  After talking with the moving company I scheduled an appointment with the homeowner.  One thing I had to and is very important when transporting front load washers is to install the shipping bolts.  The shipping bolts come with the

On this call the customer said the washing machine ( Maytag MAVT754EWW ) would fill up with water but it would not spin or agitate.  She also said that when it stopped working she could smell something burning.  I get there and want to hear what the washer sounds like so I turn it on,

Customer calls and says his dishwasher ( Kenmore 665.17019400 ) is not doing anything.  I got there and removed the front panel and checked the thermal fuse.  Bingo.  Replace the fuse and all is working again.

This is one of the older front style washers.  It’s a Whirlpool MAH3000AWW.  I opened the back panel and found the belt had come off.  I put it back on.  I started the washer and the drum started spinning but it didn’t sound right.  I looked again.  The pulley was cutting in to the drum. 

This is another job where a dryer was heating but not drying the clothes.  Again I found heavy lint and water build up in the vent line.  This was a messy job.  It took me over an hour to get this ventilation system cleaned properly.  There are special rods that are made for dryer vent

This Whirlpool Duet Washing Machine ( GHW9150PW2 ) is giving an F 11 Code.  This means there is a communication error between the Central Control Unit ( CCU ) and the Motor Control Unit (MCU).  This is where it gets tricky.  Which one is the problem and which needs to be repaired?  I checked all

On this particular call the refrigerator had started working before I got there.  It’s tough to repair an appliance that isn’t acting up while you are on site.  The refrigerator is a Amana ( SXD23VW ) side by side.  I do the usual and make sure all of the components are functioning.  They were.  I

I started the week at an animal hospital in Macon, GA working with a dryer that was taking 3 cycles to dry the clothes.  Upon examination of the dryer I found that the door was not closing properly and the ventilation was less than ideal.  The dryer needs new door catches and I cleaned the

Went to a call in Perry, Ga about a refrigerator ( Frigidaire GLRT185TDW0 ) that was not cooling properly.  I found that the evaporator coils had frozen up.  I manually put the unit in defrost mode and nothing happened.  I grabbed the hair dryer out of the truck and started defrosting the coils.  Once I
