Lg dishwasher: LG Dishwasher lights “fritzing” when on, making erratic noises

Fri, 30 Jan 2026 15:13:08 -0700

Our LG dishwasher —Inverter Direct Drive-- recently started having its control panels lights flickering/fritzing when turned on, will make erratic beeping noises and will do this when the dishwasher is running. The dishwasher turns off mid cycle when this happens as well.

Thanks for the response! I’ve taken off the front door and the control panel- I’ve don’t see what looks like a control board.

The front control panel doesn’t seem to have anything significant standing out to me as damage

LG Refrigerator LFX28978: LG in-door icemaker won't dump ice into the bin

Wed, 08 Oct 2025 20:55:14 -0700

The tray fills up with water and freezes but won’t dump ice into the bin. Model LFX28978ST/02. The unit adds more and more water to the tray that is already filled with ice, so water runs out the door, down the side, and puddles on the floor. When I push the reset button the tray does INDEED turn, so the motor works. If I melt the ice block with a hair dryer and remove it from the tray, the icemaker seems to work in that it fills the tray with the right amount of water, it freezes, and then I can dump the normal cubes into the bin manually, using the reset button. If I don’t dump the ice manually, though, it never gets dumped, more water keeps getting added to the tray, the tray fills up to overflowing with ice, and I get water on the floor again.

GE Microwave Oven: Loud noise when turntable is in use.

Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:21:38 -0700

I have an over the range microwave. A rattling noise can be heard when the turntable is in use. When the turntable is turned off there is no noise. I have tried removing the glass plate and turntable roller not no avail. Should I remove the bottom of the microwave to gain access to the turntable mechanism ?

Whirlpool Quiet Partner I Dishwasher: Flashing Lights on Control Panel

Fri, 23 Jan 2026 08:06:30 -0700

Last night, I went to start my dishwasher. I pressed the Start button before noticing that I was on "Pots and Pans" instead of "Normal". I immediately pressed the "Cancel" button in order to change the cycle. I heard the drain cycle start and finish, then I saw the "Normal" button flashing. I could not select any other cycle, and got no reaction when pressing "Start". I pressed the "Cancel" button again, but it just started flashing as well as the "Normal" button. At this point, I flipped the circuit breaker off, counted to 10, and flipped it back on. This made the "Cancel" button stop flashing, but the "Normal" button kept flashing. I then checked the interior to make sure that the overfill cover moved freely, that the sprayers could all turn freely, and that the filters were clear. No change. I tried the reset procedures found elsewhere in this forum (alternately pressing "Heated Dry" and "Normal"; pressing any three buttons in sequence three times; and pressing and holding various buttons for three seconds each) with no success. The trouble shooting guide from Whirlpool does not address anything associated with flashing lights. I've left the door open and unlatched for 12 hours now with no change. Any suggestions that don't involve calling a repairman?

Kenmore 110 Series Washing Machine: Why does my washing machine pour water during the spin cycle?

Fri, 01 Mar 2024 23:33:05 -0700

My washing machine has an issue where it pours water during the spin cycle, while it is draining. Basically, it pours water from the top while draining it out from the bottom. It drains the water faster than it can pour it, so it does not actually fill with water, but it does re-wet the clothes, so the clothes are dripping wet when the cycle is complete.

It also agitates while filling with water. This is not much of a problem, but it started happening the same time that the other issue above started happening.

Model: Kenmore Elite 26964503

This is what the washing machine is supposed to do:

Wash Cycle
1. Fill with water.
2. When full, begin agitating.
3. After a while, drain water.
Rinse Cycle
1. Fill with water.
2. When full, begin agitating.
3. After a while, drain water.
Spin Cycle
1. Spin while draining water.
2. When empty, continue spinning and draining.
3. After a while, stop.

This is what the washing machine actually does (the bold text marks the differences):

Wash Cycle
1. Fill with water while agitating.
2. When full, continue agitating.
3. After a while, drain water.
Rinse Cycle
1. Fill with water while agitating.
2. When full, continue agitating.
3. After a while, drain water.
Spin Cycle
1. Spin while draining water.
2. When empty, continue spinning and draining but also begin pouring water from top.
3. After a while, stop.

Summary

The main problem is 3-2: in the spin cycle, the machine begins to pour water after it has drained all of the water. It is not supposed to be pouring water at this point; it defeats the purpose of the spin cycle.

What could this be? What would cause it to pour water during the spin cycle?

Panasonic Microwave: model NN-SN966S Lost all control of the keypad exept Reset

Sun, 29 Mar 2026 17:44:33 -0700

First, out of the blue, the display screen showed the Power Level counting down repeatedly (P 10, P 9...) while at the same time the speaker was sending out a continuous beep, beep, beep.

When I unplugged the device for a couple minutes, then plugged the power cable back into the socket, the display came up flashing and showed 88:88. I pressed every button on the keypad and only the Reset button worked clearing the display and showed : and again none of the keys on the keypad worked.

Anyone have any ideas? I'm thinking maybe the keypad failed or possibly the microprocessor. Is this even fixable?

Microwave: Making loud Hum when not on, but plugged in.

Thu, 09 May 2024 17:10:14 -0700

Samsung SMH2117S Microwave started making a loud hum a few days ago, I unplugged it over night and left it, plugged it back in the next day and still a loud hum, the hum stops when you open the door. As soon as you close the door, without pressing any buttons or starting the microwave the hum comes back. I took the microwave down from above the range, removed the cover to try and pin point where the noise is coming from. the hum is coming from the Magnetron. The unit will still heat food, and everything else seems to be working as normal. I don't really feel like it is safe to leave plugged in or even use. I have found a price on a new magnetron for this product for $115.(i live in canada) i have no problem buying a new one and replacing it. But i want to make sure that is the real problem.

Starbucks Barista: Steam wand leaking. Not enough pressure for a good shot!

Thu, 10 Nov 2022 17:10:06 -0700

I'm not able to fully close down the steam wand. So, when the machine builds pressure to steam milk - or to pull a shot - the steam wand leaks and releases pressure. My machine is only a couple of years old, but this problem has been getting worse to the point that it's nearly unusable. The espresso I can make with this problem ranges from so-so to undrinkable.
