I got my first Apple in 1979. Wrote stock market analyze programs. Went Apple professional in 1984. Opened local Apple type repair store in '93. Authorized Apple VAR 1996. Authorized UMAX (Apple Clones) service provider. Ran my own Apple type store for ten years till heart problems. Now that the surgeons have rebuilt my plumbing I'm back at it full time. I've enjoyed the new customers from iFixit sending in their machines on the tough problems. I fancy myself as the "Dr. House of Macs". I want the hard problems, ones that interest me. The work is a constant challenge and I learn new things everyday. Researching questions keeps me up to date and has improved my diagnostic skills tremendously.

A répondu à : No power going to hot water tank il y a 23 heuresavril 22, 2019
Use a multimeter and test the breaker box then the electrical wall outlet. If it is working, you probably have a loose or disconnected wire. Great care should be taken when looking or testing for it. I would unplug it and start testing for continuity of the input wires. Digital Multimeter
A répondu à : Igniter does not come on il y a 2 joursavril 22, 2019
When the thermostats, fuses, ignitor and flame sensor function correctly, they send a signal to the coils or solenoids attached to the top of the gas valve. These coils or solenoids open the valve and release the gas into the burner assembly. If the ignitor glows and does not ignite a flame after 90 seconds, one or more of the gas valve coils or solenoids have failed. If the ignitor still fails to ignite the flame after you replace the coils or solenoids, the gas valve may have failed, and you will need to call an appliance service technician to replace it.

A répondu à : Why does my washer stop at the drain cycle il y a 4 joursavril 20, 2019
Cause 1 Drain Pump Sometimes, small objects or articles of clothing can get caught in the drain pump. To determine if anything is blocking the drain pump, remove the drain pump and check the pump for obstructions. If the drain pump is clear of obstructions, but is still noisy during the drain cycle, replace the drain pump. Cause 2 Clogged Pump or Hose Sometimes, socks and other small articles of clothing can get into the drain system and clog the pump hose or the pump itself. Remove the hoses from the pump and check for any obstructions. Cause 3 Lid Switch Assembly The lid switch assembly prevents the washer from spinning when the lid is open. If the lid switch assembly fails, the washer will not drain. To determine if the lid switch assembly is defective, use a multimeter to test each of the lid switches for continuity. If a lid switch does not have continuity, replace it.

A répondu à : Whirlpool Fileter Replaced, Ice Maker Stopped il y a 4 joursavril 20, 2019
A good check to see if the filter is ok will be to use the water dispenser. If water flows from the dispenser, the filter is good. If the icemaker is not working now, the problem could be with the icemaker, the water valve or the main board. This icemaker can be cycled manually and it may help determine the problem. To cycle the icemaker, press and hold the water fill button for 3 seconds. If the icemaker cycles, watch to see if it fills, towards the end of the cycle. If it does fill, it will indicate the icemaker compartment is not cold enough to cycle the icemaker or the icemaker has failed and will need to be replaced. If it cycles but does not fill, listen for a buzzing noise. If you hear this noise, it will indicate the water valve is being energized. In this case, the valve will need to be replaced. If you don't hear anything or if the icemaker does not cycle, some voltage checks will need to be made. A technician will be needed to make these checks. Other possibilities that can cause the ice maker to n...
