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...

Lint buildup in dryer

Folks, get your dryer vent cleaned regularly.  You don't want your dryer to look like this.

Refrigerator evaporator

This is a Maytag dryer with a clogged defrost drain, in meridian.  Once the obstruction is removed from the drain and the ice removed, it will work great for years.

Water damage

This is the damage which can occur due to a leaky refrigerator.  In this instance the ice maker supply valve had a pinhole in it.  Every time the customer used the water dispenser the valve would spray water on the floor.  The damage to the hardwood was extensive.

Water freezing in freezer

When water accumulates in the defrost tray, it causes excess humidity in the refrigerator air.  This will eventually deposit around the air ducts like we see in this picture.

Dishwasher turn on by itself

This Whirlpool dishwasher would run all night.  We ended up replacing the control panel to fix the problem.  When intermittent connections occur in the command bus, the control board can do weird things.  Another great fix from Western Appliance.  208-599-1086
