Damaged Dryer Drums

Bad bad bad.  This dryer drum has definitely seen better days.  What started out as a new LG dryer drum, shipped straight from the manufacturer, has turned into to a taco shaped mess.  UPS did a good job at destroying this however, it wasn't all their fault.  The box that it was shipped in was thin and did not have any support.  Considering how paper thin these new dryer drums are, you would think that the appliance-maker would provide decent packing and support.  I guess not!  This is what I get.

I may not provide replacement drums for my Meridian and Boise customers anymore.  The damage rate on these drums, as received, are about 70 percent.  That's right, seventy percent are damaged.  I usually have to go through paperwork and refunds to make sure everyone is happy and it leaves the customer without a repaired dryer.  It's become a big pain in the !@#ss.  Oh well!

Washer lid switch problems

The first picture shows a lid actuator pin for a direct-drive washer.  The second picture shows where the pin makes contact with the washer switch.  When the lid is closed, a switch contact is enabled and the timer now sends a voltage signal to the washer' s drive motor to start the spin and drain cycles.

I find broken switches in many of these washers in the Meridian Idaho area.  

A common symptom is that the washer won't spin the clothes out and leaves them wet.

As with most other washer problems in Meridian, we can fix this too.  208-599-1086

Broken Dishwasher Heater

I had replaced this dishwasher heater about 4 months ago and it broke in half again.  This is very unusual for this to happen since the typical lifetime of these heaters are years.  Our Kenmore dishwasher, made by Whirlpool, has lasted 17 years and it is still running without any problems.   This makes me wonder if melted plastic or something that could have dropped down on it during the heat cycle, could have caused it.  Hmm...
