Comment on Sears Kenmore Washer Lid Switch by Curt

My Kenmore washer will occasionally not spin-out at the end of any of the cycles. But only occasionally.

Can my problem be the “Lid- Switch” ?

Comment on Maytag Refrigerator Adaptive Defrost Board by jkmarshall

I have model # MSD2756GEW, picked it up yesterday. Evaporator coil inside the freezer was completely frozen over. I left the unit off all day and left the freezer door open until all the ice was gone. I also un-clogged the defrost water line to the pan below. I tested the ADF and it did nothing. The sensor must have told it not to go into defrost mode since it was room temperature. I put the covers back on the coil and left the ADF hanging in the refrigerator for access and closed both doors. Now I am waiting to see what will happen next. Bad ADF?
Any other basic checks? Freezer fan is working and coil fan under unit is working.

Our Maytag Performa is about 10yrs old. We had been having issues with the dial that contols the setting and is also the on switch. We were working around that, but yesterday when we tried to use it…there was nothing. It would not turn on at all. Replaced the dial motor. Still not working. Any ideas?

I’m trying to sell my Kenmore Elite upright freezer. It has been used for 8 years, and is about 10 years old. It has the alarm, and the key. It’s working great. How much should I sell it for?

Jake, I have a Chef Automatic wall oven with serial no, 102G4FW14 with the approval no 3641. Are you able to tell me that this manual is relevant to my wall oven. I just moved in to a new house and this oven was working fine for the first two months, after that the pilot light just clicks and it does not ignite the flame for the oven.
Appreciate you time in this.

Comment on Maytag Expands Recall of Refrigerators Due to Fire Hazard by abbot7

I have a Whirlpool side by side purchased 6-27-2003. It looks exactly like figure 1 in the Safety Comission recall for Maytag.
http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml09/09145.html
My Whirlpool(Model SP2032229) has experienced the same start relay problem. The start relay burnt all the pins off the compressor, the relay itself disintegrated, wires are burnt and the Linoleum Floor is burnt black, it used to be a light shade of yellow! From what I can tell, both Maytag and whirlpool use similar start relays and compressors. Good thing I unplugged it before the floor ignited! Has anyone else out there experienced this?
I plan to file a complaint with the Product Safety Commission.

I think that I am having a similar problem. Last night I tried doing a load and was shot an F3 error code on my Kenmore Elite series. I canceled that load, tried restarting it and was shot a F4 code, again canceled and tried once more with no codes. I came back to find the washer filled with water and doing nothing.It looked like it made it through wash cycle but not quite to the stage that it adds the softener. I tried setting to the drain/ rinse setting and nothing happened. From looking up the error codes it F3 is Lid switch failure and F4 is recirculation switch failure. But the more reading I have done it sound like the Lid Switch, but knowing nothing of washing machines i’m not quite sure. Also is there an easier way of draining the washer other than scooping it out by hand?
