Kenmore Elite HE3 Washing Machine: Washer slowly fills with water while not in use, what is wrong?

Fri, 03 Jan 2025 12:47:56 -0700

Recently, I noticed that my washer will slowly fill with water when not in use. The problem seems to be intermittent, and I think it could be mineral buildup in the supply valve. Any suggestions would help.

Samsung Refrigerator RF261BEAE: Ice Maker Stopped Dumping Ice

Fri, 26 Dec 2025 11:56:13 -0700

I have a 2.5 yo Samsung RF261BEAEBC/AA french door refrigerator. The icemaker has suddenly stopped dumping ice. The temperature is set to 2 degrees and the icemaker button is 'On'. When the reset button is pressed, the motor kicks in, the perfectly formed ice drops and the tray refills.

I've replace the water filter and the icemaker module, all to no avail. I've turned everything off, then back on. I'm not sure what to try next. Any help out there?

Starbucks Barista: No water out of the brew head

Sun, 30 Nov 2025 07:47:28 -0700

I have descaled 2x, and cleaned the brew head and portofilter screens, but water no longer comes down thru the brewhead. Water comes out of the steam wand, and steam comes out of the wand too. No problems there. I think what is happening is that the pump is not engaging. I don't hear that customary kick in sound I usually hear when the pump goes on. What do you think my problem is? Is this something I can fix myself? Thanks for your help. I really like this machine!

Whatever cycle I choose, the light just flashes and holding the start button does nothing. I've unplugged it for 5 minutes to try to re start it but that didn't work.

Kenmore Elite HE3 Dryer: Dryer won't start (interior light working, control panel not working)?

Tue, 06 Dec 2022 23:38:40 -0700

My gas dryer is 10 years old, purchased in 2004. Last week it stopped working. The interior light turns on when I open the door, and it turns off when I close the door. In other words, the electricity is working fine.

However, when I push the buttons on the control panel to start the dryer, the lights on the control panel do not turn on, and nothing happens. Any suggestions?

Keurig Elite: The water coffee just dribbles out

Wed, 04 Feb 2026 21:45:00 -0700

I cleaned my brewer with white vinegar and used the paperclip trick. The water comes out nicely when there is no K-Cup or if I use the cup that you put your own coffee in. When I use a K-Cup, the water coffee just dribbles out. It's got to be related to that tube and how the coffee exits the basket when the K-Cup is in there, but I just can't figure out what the problem is...

Samsung B1445A Washing Machine: Washing machine door won't unlock?

Wed, 02 Aug 2023 12:09:21 -0700

My washing machine cycle came to an end. After 3 minutes it is supposed to unlock, but it didnt. It has drained all the water out, so that's not a problem. I turned the power off on the wall, and it still wouldnt unlock. How can I get my wet washing out?

Keurig Elite: Add water, Heating, and Medium cup buttons flash but no coffee!

Sun, 07 Dec 2025 11:15:55 -0700

I recently moved cities and after unpacking I noticed my Keurig is no longer working. When I turn my Keurig on, the machine will display the add water, heating and medium cup buttons and they will all be blinking. I tried to replace the external water reservoir and even opened up the bottom of the Keurig to drain the internal reservoir however I have not seen any results. If anyone has had a similar problem, please feel free on what to do in order to fix this.

Lg dishwasher: LG Dishwasher Water not draining fast enough, OE error code

Wed, 29 May 2024 15:46:01 -0700

My dishwasher is 15 months old. When I first started using the dishwasher I noticed occasionally I would come back and see error code flashing on the dishwasher. I would always restart the cycle and it would complete with no problem. Starting this week, my dishwasher started giving an OE error code every time I ran it. I called a company to come out and take a look at it. The technician looked at it and told me that I needed to remove my floor in the kitchen so he could pull the dishwasher back and look at the drain hose. He told me it looked like the drain hose was clogged because when he blew on the drain hose he didn't see any bubbles. It would cost me $260 to fix the hose, plus my cost to remove the laminate. After he left I took the drain hose off of the connection to the garbage disposal and put it in a bucket then I ran the dishwasher. The water came out of the dishwasher into the bucket and filled it up. When I lifted the hose up to the height of the dishwasher drain, the water stopped coming out. Can anyone explain why it would drain when it was low but stop when I raise it? Is the technician right and I have a clogged hose?

Dyson DC45: Why does my Dyson stop working every 3-5 seconds

Fri, 22 Dec 2023 11:13:37 -0700

We have a Dyson DC45. It shuts off (stops working) every 3-5 seconds. Can this be fixed, by myself or at a repair centre?

The Dyson DC 45 ( I have shown DC56 here as it appears similar to the DC45) stops every 3-5 seconds when in use. The following is a more detailed series of the events which occur.

The Dyson is fully charged, when starting use with the brush head attachment, stops working after about 10 seconds of use.

We turn it on using the trigger starter. It stops again after about 3 seconds. We release the trigger and press it again. It starts and runs for approximately 3 seconds, then stops again. The sequence of restarting is repetitive until we give up in frustration.

Is there a "home fixable solution" or must it be taken to a repair shop? If so, where in the Toronto area can it be taken.

Thank you

GE Profile Refrigerator: Why won't water dispenser and interior lights work on GE Refrigerator?

Thu, 02 Apr 2026 01:30:56 -0700

I have a GE PROFILE SERIES ENERGY STAR 22.1 CU. FT. COUNTER-DEPTH FRENCH-DOOR ICE AND WATER REFRIGERATOR BY GE APPLIANCES. Our refrigerator will dispense ice, but not water. Also, the interior lights in the refrigerator and freezer won't turn on when the doors are opened. We unplugged the unit last night and plugged it back in and it "reset" the refrigerator. Everything was working again, but then this morning the water again would not work and the lights inside would not turn on. We don't want to have to "reset" the fridge every 12 hours, so trying to figure out what the problem is. Going to have to call GE service, but we've heard bad things about them. Help!

Maytag Bravos quiet series 300: washer sounds like it wants to take off during spin cycle

Wed, 11 Dec 2024 16:54:11 -0700

My Bravos quiet series is 4 years old and out of warranty. I had a local repairman charge me $85 to show up and tell me that I needed a new bearing, inner and outer tub for a total of $875.00, Obviously I did not have the repair done as it is cheaper to shop for a new washer.

My question is Is this possible for a four year old machine?
