Outer Tub Assembly
Posted by: | CommentsSears Kenmore made by Frigidaire(model#41743042200): Very loud banging sound when its spinning, and leaking water from the middle of the drum from where the 2 sides bolt together.
The problem is the Rear outer tub bearing and shaft seal is worn out. Also on some of these the spin basket spiders can break.
This is a major repair, its a complete teardown of the washer installing the new parts, it can be a 2-4 hour job.

Range Bake Element
Posted by: | CommentsSears Kenmore Electric Range made by Whirlpool (model#665.95002101): Oven is not heating when the bake cycle is on, I always make sure the range is receiving 240 volts at the range terminal block, a volt/ohm meter is a necessity. If that checks ok, then I check the the bake element for continuity with the ohm meter, make sure the power to the range is off first before testing the bake element for continuity.
There was no continuity in the bake element, when i checked it.

Refrigerator Door Gasket
Posted by: | Comments2004 Sears Kenmore Top Mount(Freezer on Top) Refrigerator made by Frigidaire(model#25363712302): The Refrigerator door gasket is not sealing properly, found a torn spot in it. These gaskets seem to hold up pretty good, but every once in awhile you may see a loose, torn, or crimped door gasket.
They used to have screws that held them in place, but now most are the push-in type, which is a great time saver!
