Interesting Friday
Hi all,
2003 Kenmore Amana built Freezer on the Bottom Drawer pullout type.
Frost build up on top ceiling of freezer, cause Drawer tracks not sliding well,causing air leak. ordered new ones.
2004 Kenmore Frigidaire Built SxS. This is a new problem i have never seen before. When Ice maker cycles and ice maker calls for water , it not only puts water in the ice maker, but also puts water through the front water dispenser, customer finds water in the front of freezer door on floor. The problem is the Diode for the water valve is shorted. I ordered a Diode kit.
Ok heres another one i never seen happen before,
2003 Kenmore Whirlpool Built Dryer, there was nothing wrong with the dryer, The customer wired the 240 volt Dryer cord wrong, very dangerous!!! He had the Red wire(120 volt) connected to the Green(Ground) that was connected to ther dryer ground screw on dryer cabinet.
He had the Black wire(120 volt) connected to the terminal block middle screw. The White wire(Neutral) was on the terminal block left screw.
And the result: Dryer not heating, customer was getting shocked when they touched the washer, the reason: The Dryer exhaust vent, which had a metal wire to support the exhaust was touching the washer, it also caused a small fire behind the washer, and burned the exhaust vent, the customer saw it , and put it out quickly.
The Correct way to hook up a Dryer Cord to the Dryer Terminal Block: The Red wire(120 volt) and the black wire(120 volt) ONLY goes on the left and right screws of the terminal block, in either order, never in the middle screw or connected to the green cabinet ground wire. The White wire(Neutral) ONLY goes on the middle screw of the terminal Block. Some Dryer cords have 4-prongs, the green wire ONLY goes on the green cabinet ground screw.
Very interesting day! :)
Have a Good Evening!
