The Freezer coils freeze up. The defrost heater never seems to operate. The defrost heater Checks good at 22 ohms. The defrost thermister reads 0 ohms hot or cold. I removed the thermistor from the circuit with no change. Had a service call from a local company. A Kid came out and looked at the defrost heater and declared it good, and told my sister it probably needed a new control board.My sister then ask me to look at it. I took the Tech's word and replaced the control board. That did not fix the problem. I have the thermistor on order. I don't think the new thermistor will help since I have removed it without a change in operation. I have read all of the threads and I can't find exactly my problem.

During this noise it is blowing air to the freezer but its not cold enough to keep items frozen. The clicking takes place every few minutes. This has been an on again off again problem for the past couple of weeks, it will do this for a day or two and then be fine for a week or so. There are no frost prolems in the freezer and there is no moisture in the fridge. I would like to figure out if this is something I can handle by myself, or if I will have to call someone in. Thanks in advance for any advice.

during its last spin cycle it started making a bad noise

I have a Maytag Optima washer that is about 5-6 years old. Recently, it starting making a loud mechnical noise when it goes into spin cycle. It still works fine but I take this noise as an early warning that something is about to break. Do you know what this might be and what parts will need to be replaced? Also, is there an online manual for this washer?

Thanks,

11/11/09-Running but no heat. Popped the top and went thru the tech sheet. No issues found. No codes. Everything checked out perfect. Checked breaker, outlet, all wiring, voltage. Found nothing. Filled my shop vac with lint and found almost $6! Removed the thermistor and went to a local parts store. Figured for $24 it was worth a shot. Guy there said it was fine, keep looking.

11/12/09-Removed the Thermal cutoff, hi-limit, heater, and thermal fuse. All checked fine by my meter but took them all to the parts house. ALL check fine. Put it all back together. NO codes and NO heat STILL. Took the dryer to place of purchase for service.

11/16/09- $91.04 Shop replaced the thermistor said it was fine. Picked it up, dragged it back into the house, put the pedestal on, hooked it all up. Started dryer. It heats! After one minute stops and now I have a code. E1 The thermister. Call shop back, complain, tell them I am NOT bringing back, come fix it.

11/17/09-$40 service call. Tried another thermistor, no change. Still E1 after about a minute. Tech on the phone with WP. Determine the board is bad. $215 estimate. I said NO thanks. I already knew the board was about $140 from previous searches.

11/18/09-$140 for new Control board at parts store. Installed it last night. Fired up the dryer. We have heat and STILL E1 after about a minute. New board and the third thermistor.

11/19/09-Going to get a new dryer today. :) I would like to still repair this one and install it in the garage as the #2. No clue what to do next.

Utility room is in the middle of the house. Vent is about 30'. Was the flexible vent but I replaced that with thick wall 4" PVC some time ago. Flows good. Dryer goes into E1 even if not connected to the vent.


Thanks!

The compressor only runs 3-5 seconds then turned off by itself and it keeps doing that on day long with a frequency of 3-4 minutes apart. The fan behind the unit is working fine and the compressor is hot when touched. When the compressor stars and stops it makes a click sound, I assume that sound either comes from the relay or compressor. The click sound seems having a little bit higher then before the problem happen - or now I have paid more attention to that noise and my psychological imagination kicks in.

The touched pads on the digital control panel seem working OK, allowing me to adjust set point temperatures (off course the refrigerator is not working). I noticed that the refrigerator produces a little bit cool air (probably the compressor is producing cold air but it shut off prematurely and is not enough to make it cold)

I unplugged the power, hopefully it will reset but no joy. Condensation coils are clean from dust.

Please let me know what may cause the problem, where I can get the parts and how to fix it. It's not fun to have a bad refrigerator a week before the Thanksgiving.
