The washing machine of this combo makes load groaning noises. How can I fix it?
Hi Martin. I recommend inspect the glide drum bearing. Both top and front-load washing machines have tub bearings that allow the wash basket or inner tub to rotate freely. Top load washers normally have a bearing at the bottom or input of the transmission and another where the shaft attaches to the inner tub. Front load washers typically use two bearings to support the wash basket shaft and are located at the rear of the outer tub. The bearings are protected from the wash water by a tub seal. Regular use, prolonged exposure to harsh detergents and overload conditions can cause the bearing seal to break down, allowing water to reach the bearings and eventually causing them to fail. Thank you for your question and good luck with your repair!
Hello, thank you for your question. Looking at your model information there are a few parts that you should take out and test to see which one is giving you the issue. The first parts to check in this case would be all of your thermostats and thermal fuses. You can test those parts with a multi meter and they should be reading 0 ohms to be working correctly. If those parts are fine, you should then go on to testing your heating element as well. You can also test that with a multi meter and it should be reading between 0 - 50 ohms. Something else you should also check would be your filter and ducts. Make sure there is absolutely no blockage that would restrict air flow in your appliance. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

Dryer runs gets hot turn off have a press the start button to resart
Hello Tim, Thank you for your inquiry. We have researched your model and it sounds like your dryer is overheating. Normally when the temperature in the dryer gets to an unsafe level, the safety thermostat will shut the heating element off so the dryer will not overheat. We recommend checking the following parts to fix your issue: high limit thermostat, blower wheel cycling thermostat, cycling thermostat-4 wire, blower wheel, and heating element. You can test the parts with a multimeter. If you are unfamiliar with how a multimeter functions, we have videos available to assist you. We also recommend checking your exhaust vent for any restrictions. Hope this helps.
Dryer runs, gets hot and turn off after 10 mins. Need to press the start button to start the dryer.
Hello Tim, Thank you for the question. This normally indicates the Dryer is over heating or thinks it is over heating. We suggest testing the Safety, High Limit and Cycling Thermostats. We hope this helps!

Removed the front Dryer panel. Left drum in place and lifted it up slightly to get access to motor drive. Slipped belt in place and put panel back on. This was a first attempt ever at fixing an appliance and it was no big deal.

It was actually my father, he doesn't use the internet. He thought that because the dyer got real hot and then shut off he thought the thermostat wasn't working and the high temp shutoff was okay. He went through the manual and found the part and took it out. He called the service number but they wanted $50 dollars plus shipping. I saw it

I tried several other sites and your site was the cheapest. It was real easy to use the web site and diagrams to find the right schematic and part. I ordered it online and it was delivered in 2 days with the regular shipping. When he first put it in the dyer didn't turn on. He found no power coming out of the timer so he cleaned the contacts and it worked. Thanks for making the ordering so easy.

The end repair was very simple and took minimal effort. The time and difficulty was all in the testing. I disassembled the dryer and removed the drum and then hard wired each thermo-fuse to determine where the fault was. After test all of those I was stumped.

... Read moreer fault closer to the source. However after all of my testing I couldn't find anything wrong. I then removed the light bulb and realized it was burned out which led me to the door switch being the fault. I removed the switch and soldered the three wire together and the dryer started right up! All I had to do was order a new $15 part, unsolder the wires and plug them in. Would have been so much simpler if that light bulb hadn't of been burned out causing me to over think my diagnosis. This was my first major appliance repair and I did it with only the help of the parts diagram provided on the website.
