Saturday
Hi All,
The clouds are rolling in for rain, after a long and hot dry 2 months of summer we get here in Oregon.
2001 Kitchen Aid Dishwasher, making a knocking noise when filling with water, water valve is going bad, ordered.
1997 Amana SxS Refrig. Not cooling, Compressor running but no pumping the freon, Internal Compressor Valve out. Would need a new Compressor.
The cost of this Compressor is about $500. With Labor would be close to $700-$800. Not worth fixing, new SxS Ref. starts at about the same price.
The rule of thumb is: If the price to repair any appliance exceeds more than half the purchase price, its better just to invest all the money into a new Appliance.
Remember all new Refrigerators come with a 5 yr. Parts and Labor Warranty on the Compressor and Sealed System(All parts the Freon travels through) to make it cool.
1998 Maytag Front Load Washer, This problem was solved in 2000 models and on: Mildew forms on the front rubber boot. Maytag solved this by installing a drain in the bottom of the Boot, to let the trapped water run back in the tub and out the drain.
Thats it Today. :)
