มุมมอง 652 หลายเดือนก่อน
To clean the filters of a Bosch dishwasher, first, ensure the appliance is off and cool. Open the door and remove the bottom rack to access the filter assembly. Twist the coarse filter counterclockwise to detach it, then pull out the fine filter beneath. Rinse both filters under warm water, using a soft brush to remove any stubborn debris. Allow them to air dry before reassembling. Finally, rep...

GE Stove Bake Element Testing And Replacing
When I bought the house, the water worked, then stopped working, then started again, then finally didn't work at all,, a repair man came out replaced the switch in the back , it worked, then stopped again. (There were other problems involved so he changed a few other things) ..The one thing I did notice , that mentioned was the pressure which the water came out.. very slow every time it worked.. Where is the best place to buy the replaced water filter head housing unit ?
Depending on where you are, I would look at any appliance store near you, or use parts select maybe.
I like the glass
Thank you so much!!
No you’re not done. Samsung is surely the most counterintuitive appliance on the planet
Lol your not wrong
You need to take a break.. Crazy out of breath, not good
Thank you for the direct answer! It works!
I'm glad it worked for you, thanks for watching!!
Good video and explanations. Thank you!
Thank you for the great feedback!!
Just bought this today, getting it installed on Tuesday! Hella excited, thank you for posting this video !!
No problem, hopefully it treats you good!!
It's still on cooling mode it won't dry with heat
If you put it on time dry does it heat?
@@Thomasappliance I will give it a try , thank you
@@dirtyd9792 np let me know what happens!
Thanks Thomas for the video. It was so helpful 😊
Your very welcome, glad it helped!!
Greg Thank you for the video, It helped me save money. I have been searching for a video for a couple of days like yours to diagnose the water filter manifold head. I was thinking it was bad but I did not to order and spend the money until I knew for sure it was bad, didn't want to just start adding parts for nothing. Your troubleshooting video is awesome! Thanks again 😊
I'm so glad it helped, thanks for watching!!
I don’t know why but do you know why microwaves can have a set time for more than an hour?
Not sure I've ever thought of that, I'm going to have to set the next one higher than an hour.
Mine won’t let me change AM or PM
A lot of microwaves don't have that option but everyone is different to set as well, whats the model number of your microwave?
But what if it does this but also the dryer keeps running and won't shut off when the door is closed?
Does the machine run even when off, if the door is closed?
@Thomasappliance yes
@Ms.L. ok there's a board up under the top panel on the left side that is faulty, you will have to replace the board or get the board fixed.
Thank you
No problem at all!
Hey Greg, thanks for the video.. I, too, was thinking that the 2 torx screws were actually Phillips head screws and that they were stripped in the same locations.. must be there to prevent us from getting in,lol. Thanks to your video, I was able to remove them.. 👍
I'm glad you got in there, hopefully it helped!!
I take it you didn't see a fuse inside? That's my assumption/hope, as we had a power surge last night. If there isn't, I probably won't even bother taking it apart.
I don't believe there is a fuse inside, i didn't see one, when it was apart.
Thank you.
No problem, I'm glad it helped!!
;)
😎😎
😂😂I have to agree with that i had refurnished samsung for 3 years..After new pc board was put in !! And it worked fine for the 2 years !!!.. i got it after my hi sense 7kg died of 8 years old😢!! I had LG model prior to that hi sense pre LG DD models that was a 6kg i gave to my brother is still working like a new and is 18 years old ! Then i bought 8kg top loader 8kg Omw i sent it back under warrenty due mechanical issues and leaking pumps ,it was 9 months in and leaking and endless defects that i proved to the retailer !! I am now back to LG But 7kg DD and we paid so worth it !! 🎉🎉
Yes hardly anything is made well now a days. Thanks for watching!!
🎉🎉Very cool ;)
Thank you, hopefully it helped!!
@Thomasappliance Yeah it did i like learn about washers ! ;) and the problems they could have !
@parrotafrica2996 there is quite a bit of videos on my channel for washers, the problems seem to be very similar between manufacturers.
@Thomasappliance Washers are not made like they use to be ..Mass production ..I bought bekco ( defy ) 8kg top loader October 2023 .. In the middle of a wash the drum emptied of water and it leaked ,errors no reason .. 2 year warreny , and the bekco repairs tec failed to fix the issues .. I got sent a new unit , it worse than unit taken this one would even make the washing motion.. 🙆💁♂️..
@parrotafrica2996 awww that sounds terrible, ive never had to deal with that brand.
Thank you very good video. I learn by visual much better then by reading .
I don't blame you, I'm the same way!! Glad it helped!!
i have a Samsung dryer new element and still won't heat
Sometimes it's one of the thermostats, can also be a power issue. Make sure there is 240v to the dryer.
This was my first time taking off the oven door and getting to the glass to clean it, and i was able to easily follow your instructions.Your video was super helpful! Thanks!
Thanks for the great feedback, I'm glad you got the oven door cleaned out, good job!!
I changed all the components but the freezer is 30f, the fridge is 60f but everything works but not the temperature
That is usually a fan issue, or the holes between the fridge and freezer are frozen over.
Didn't mention about broiler and oven not working
The board doesn't directly test the bake or broil, it will tell you if the stove isn't hot enough, if oven is not working depending on the stove the board is usually the issue so most of the time the board is faulty and doesn't realize there is an issue.
Almost makes me glad I wash my dishes by hand.
There's a lot of issues with most dishwashers out right now
Did you remove that little bit of blue plastic that is stuck to the front? That was driving me crazy the whole time lol
Lol yes I usually will if I notice it, thanks for watching!!
great way to also check if the impeller still has teeth on it. nice video.
Yes exactly, that happens quite a bit.
Thanks for watching, let me know what your dishwasher was doing!
I bought my Samsung 8/10/23. Today 11/6, the heat is not working. They replaced motor. But still no heat, why?😢
A no heating issue is usually fixed by replacing a thermostat or a heater.
@@Thomasappliance thank you. I will call Costco again. I will tell them about thermostat/heater too. By heater, do you mean heating element? I been watching TH-cam and they did mention heating element
@sizzleheart84 yes exactly, the heating element
@ the guy came again and didn't do anything to check heat element. He used his phone and wire to connect machine lol did he do right? They warn to charge me $100 extra if I call their service again
@sizzleheart84 does the dryer heat at all, or what did they say was wrong?
Let me know if you've ever found anything in your dryer or vent system?
Friends don't let friends by Samsung appliances, great phones but terrible appliances. Speaking from experience after putting three control boards in a Samsung washer that my parents had for like a decade. Sealed with silicone but still somehow miraculously got corrosion underneath the silicone every time. And the matching washer only works on the timer function
Yes I'm afraid you are correct, Samsung seems to have some real big issues with every appliance they made in the last 10 years.
Thank you for this
No problem at all!
Ah! Thank you! I thought mine was broken 🤣
No problem at all, glad it helped!
thank you!
No problem at all, thanks for watching!
Greg, the centre of that idler is steel and the shaft is steel how come they don't just heat up and seize? I've just used 400 grit on a shaft and replaced the idler and it heat seized in less than two minutes. Any ideas? Thanks from Andy from Aussie Homestead NSW Australia 🦘
Yeah it always seemed strange to me too. I clean up shafts of rollers and idlers all the time but never had one seize up, they are supposed to have an oil impregnated in them that is to stop them from heating up.
Excellent Information. Thank you.
No problem at all, hopefully it helped out!
Thanks for the tutorial
Your very welcome, hopefully yours went well!
Una pregunta si hubo un corto, y se recalentaron los csbles de fase y neutro, cual es el moivo de la falla, y que podria estar mal?
When it comes to overheating it can be as simple as a loose connection, if the thermostat shorted out and wasn't working properly the heater could stay on, the ice maker or fridge could of had a surge and blew wires.
Mine's never on eco dry, it's just that there's always too many clothes but I can't help that since I wash my mom's clothes and it overloads the washer and dryer.
Yes being overloaded definitely doesn't help either. Thanks for watching!!
Thanks for watching, Let me know if you installed a washer or dryer and how it went.
Mines broken!☹️
What's happening with it?
What if i have no power to the ice maker?
If you checked the wires going into the icemaker and have no voltage there, then you have to trace back power to usually a board.
I have a Fagor BMF 200X with a ripped gasket. Fagor went out of business and I cannot find a Fagor replacement. I measured it as 22.5"x45". There are three 1/8" holes in the gasket too. Any suggests on how to replace or fix it. The fridge still works well. Thanks.
That's a tough one, I've never heard of that brand but most gaskets are made specifically for a certain model number. You can search on the web under the model number and try to find at least a part number then you can see if there is a replacement part number or if someone has that part number in stock somewhere. You could even try calling the manufacturer and see if they can help.
Thank you for your response. I have scoured the Internet, contacted the manufacturer and made phone calls to several Supply places and no one has it. Question am I left with having to buy a new one? Is there a rubber sealant that you could recommend to close up the holes?
@SteveSalinaro there isn't a sealant that I've ever heard of but I suppose there could be something out there.
@@Thomasappliance Thank. I appreciate all your advice.
@@ssalinaro no problem, sorry I couldn't help more
Hello Greg, I’ve seen your video. My light is working but my Honeywell unit needs a good cleaning and I’m having difficult finding a torque D 15. Would a regular hardware store or Canadian have them? I keep finding the torques for vehicles on the web.
I got mine from canadian tire, it took me a while to find it as well. Getting one that was long enough was the hard part.
www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/mastercraft-66-pc-precision-screwdriver-set-for-electronics-repair-0573624p.html?rq=screwdriver+set This is the one I got
@@Thomasappliance thank you for replying. My Honeywell works well but it’s at least 10 years old and looking dirty. I bought the extension piece. Thank you so much for replying.
@jeannineknight3368 no problem at all, hopefully it goes well
Very thorough, thank you👍
Your welcome, thanks for watching!
I put mine on time dry, the little sensor dry icon turns off and that did it for mine.
Yes some can be put into time dry, which is a better cycle in my opinion
How to put on time dry. I'm new to this
@@sizzleheart84 just turn the knob to time dry or press the button for time dry depending on your model.
@@Thomasappliance thank you. My model is: DVG50R5400W/A3 and let's hope it dry. I'm waiting
@@sizzleheart84 did it work?
This has become an annual thing for me. And dryer element
They are just made so terrible, I hear that complaint almost daily, doing appliance repair.
