 ✨  Whirlpool Washer Door Won’t Unlock - Easy Fix ✨ There are a few possible solutions to try if your Whirlpool front loader door won't unlock:  1.  Check the wash cycle : Sometimes, the door won't unlock until the wash cycle has completed. This is a safety feature on many front loaders.  2.  Check the water supply : Another safety feature is that the door won't unlock if there is still water in the machine. Check the water supply to make sure there is no blockage or interruption.  3.  Check the drain pump: Make sure nothing is stuck in the drain’s coin trap. 4. Most common reason - Too much soap: Too much soap causes too many bubbles in the drain water making the washer think that it hasn’t yet drained out all the water yet.  TRY: Unplugging for 10 Minutes.

  With more than 30 years of experience as an appliance repair technician, I’ve seen and heard hundreds of squeaky dryers. It’s a   common complaint   with multiple possible causes. A few years ago, I was asked to fix a really noisy, squeaky dryer. When I tested it, it sounded like nails on a chalkboard! I opened it up and found the rear bearing had completely deteriorated due to years of normal wear. No wonder it sounded so bad! Replacing the rear bearing fixed the problem and gave the customer another eight years of quiet drying. Often, replacing a common part returns the dryer to its original noise level. These are repairs you can easily do yourself to save some money. Here’s a list of the common reasons why your dryer is Noisy: Dryer Belt Is Worn or Misaligned, or the Tension Is Off Dryer belts can  slip out of position  due to wear or overloading. When the belt no longer lines up correctly, it can rub against parts of the tensioning wheel arm and make a bad...

  Most of the time, an appliance extended warranty isn't worth the money. Learn why from our expert, an appliance repair technician I’ve been an  appliance repair technician  for more than 30 years, and I’ve seen very few times when my customers have benefited from an extended appliance warranty. The type of repairs covered by extended warranties only pertain to defects from the manufacturer. In the many thousands of appliance repairs I’ve done, almost all were caused by the consumer, and those problems are not covered by these warranties. First, here are a few things to keep in mind about the standard  warranties   that come with all new appliances: Fill out and mail in the warranty card. For a limited time, it will protect you for free from manufacturer defects. Buy your appliance with a credit card that offers an extended warranty on the purchase for no extra charge. See the list below of things you can do to avoid the most common appliance mistakes. In ...

  As an appliance repair technician with more than three decades of experience, I’ve seen many dishwashers that eventually leak from the bottom corners of the door. I love receiving this repair request. It’s almost always caused by the same problem, and I can fix it within 10 minutes with a few supplies. Eventually, all dishwashers end up with a dribbling leak from the lower corner of the door. If left untreated, it can warp and discolor the kitchen floor — a costly repair. Here, I’ll share all the possible causes of a dishwasher door leak and some easy DIY fixes. Why Does a Dishwasher Leak From the Bottom of the Door? In most cases, it’s because of a dirty or compressed black rubber door seal. It can also come from a bent door or a stuck dishwasher water fill valve. Over time, detergent and food debris build up on the door seal. When it dries out, it creates a film that makes the seal no longer watertight. During the hot wash cycle, water shoots out of the holes in the spray arms....

In more than 30 years as an appliance repair technician, I’ve seen hundreds of   dishwashers stop working   because of a mysterious gizmo called an air gap. And within five minutes, I can get these dishwashers working again. That strange round silver R2-D2-looking thing, to the side of the kitchen faucet, is the dishwasher’s air gap. When it gets full of gunk from debris left on dishes, the dishwasher can’t drain. If it can’t drain, it can’t start. More than 60% of the calls I get from homeowners involve a dishwasher that doesn’t work because of clogged air gaps. Most homeowners have no idea what the air gap is, and not all homes with dishwashers have air gaps. It really depends on what state you live in. Here’s what you need know. What Is a Dishwasher Air Gap? It’s part of the dishwasher’s drain system. It’s about three inches tall, round and usually chrome (silver) or white. What’s the Purpose of a Dishwasher Air Gap? It allows air to mix with the drain water so it can easil...

  Cold Freezer - Warming Fridge - Iced Up If your freezer is cold but the refrigerator is warm, it could be caused by a number of issues. Here are some possible fixes: 1. Check the temperature settings - Make sure that the temperature controls are set correctly for both the refrigerator and freezer compartments. If they are set too high or too low, it can affect the temperature in both areas. 2. Check the door seals - Inspect the door seals to make sure they are clean, free of debris, and creating a tight seal. If the seals are damaged or loose, they can allow warm air to enter the refrigerator compartment and cause it to warm up. 3. Clean the condenser coils - Dust and debris can accumulate on the condenser coils at the back of or underneath the refrigerator, which can cause the refrigerator to work harder and warm up. Clean the coils with a brush or vacuum to improve the efficiency of the cooling system. 4. Check the evaporator fan - The evaporator fan circulates cold air from th...
