I recently needed to replace the ignitor in my Gas Range. Money is short right now and I decided to try replacing it myself. I searched a few sites trying to find the best price.

Microwave turntable & fans have failed?

feeds@yuku.com (LeCoop) — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 01:59:04 GMT

I have a Panasonic NN-A574SBBPQ, which suddenly failed with a small 'pop' sound.
Device is just out of warranty, so opened it up and checked fuses ...found 2, both OK. Switched back on and tried a few things;
The control panel/timer, grill & microwave all work OK, but the turntable* & fans are not working.
*n.b. I disconnected the turntable motor, wired up separately and it turned OK.

So, it seems to be a fault with whatever powers these...

Maytag Dishwasher (DWU7702AAB) Not Draining on last Rinse

feeds@yuku.com (selectums) — Sun, 23 Nov 2008 11:08:11 GMT

My dishwasher is 11 years old and everything seems to be working until it gets to just before the dry cycle. I am left with water in the base of the dishwasher. It consistently fails at the last drain cycle, just before beginning the dry cycle. The dishwasher is washing fairly well and is draining during the other cycles. One thing I have discovered is that it will work completely through the full cycle if I shut the dishwasher off several...

Change thermostat temp?

feeds@yuku.com (edwardh1) — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 13:55:23 GMT
I have an old (30 yr old) GE electric dryer DDE8208PECAD. It has always seemed to get the clothes too hot, even since new. Exhaust is clear. Can I change out the cycling thermostat? If I took it out and ordered another one? Anyone know what the standard cycling temp is, in case its not on the OE part?

Kenmore Coldspot not cooling at all.

feeds@yuku.com (169stang) — Sat, 30 Aug 2008 14:11:52 GMT
I have a Kenmore Coldspot Model# 106.9658184. Yesterday, the both the refrigerator and freezer (top/bottom) were warm. Unplugged it and plugged it back in....sounds like the motor or compressor was humming/buzzing. Almost like it was seized. Went to plug it in again and the motor/compressor started spinning, but sounded like it was slowly ramping up to full rpm. It is cooling now, but I don't want to lose another refrige full of food. What do I need to check or replace?

I...

Help!! GE washer WJSR2070B2WW

feeds@yuku.com (frustrated mom of 4) — Sat, 03 May 2008 07:27:26 GMT
Did about 5 loads of laundry yesterday. ( I have 4 kids) On the last load the washer ran forever, couple of hours before I noticed it hadn't stopped. It appears to have stopped on the last drain cycle but did not spin the water out afterwards. It just sits there agitating no matter where I set the cycle. Turned it off and tried it again this morning and same thing. Can't go many days with out doing laundry or we will be one stinky family. Any suggestions or advise would be helpful and I would...

Dryer from USA to Australia

:"> We brought our Kenmore electric dryer from the USA to Australia because the power here is 240 volts. We had an electrician wire a 30 amp outlet and he also disconnected the power cord to use a new one. He did not know how to reconnect the power cord and tried a couple of alternatives then gave up. The dryer motor starts and lasts a second or two then stops. How should...

Dropped screw into my Dishwasher

feeds@yuku.com (markriggins) — Tue, 18 Dec 2007 18:22:20 GMT
I dropped a small (1/2 inch) sheet metal screw into my dishwasher, and of course it went all the way down into the grate.

It's a Kenmore Elite. I tried taking the spray arm loose, but then everything else looked a little complicated, so I thought I'd ask a silly question.

Will it do any harm to leave the screw there? Or will the dishwasher try to grind it up or something?
