I’ve worked on the KitchenAid KDTM404KPS more times than I can count, and heating element failure is easily one of the top three complaints I see with this model. Dishes coming out cold and wet is the telltale sign, and in most cases replacing the heating element along with the high-limit thermostat gets it running … Read more
I’ve worked on dozens of Bosch 800 Series dishwashers, and circulation pump failure on the SHPM65Z55N is one of the most frequent calls I get — especially on units between 3-6 years old. That grinding noise during the wash cycle is almost always the pump bearing going out. In most cases, replacing the complete circulation … Read more
I’ve worked on quite a few Kenmore 70343 French Door refrigerators over the years, and control board failure is one of the most common calls I get for this model. Nine times out of ten, the board throws error codes after a power surge or prolonged outage. A simple reset clears it about 30% of … Read more
I’ve worked on quite a few Samsung RT18M6215SG units over the years, and compressor relay failure is honestly one of the most common calls I get on this model. The good news is it’s usually a straightforward fix — about 80% of the time, swapping out the start relay gets the compressor running again without … Read more

LG’s Linear Compressor design, while efficient, has a known failure pattern that shows up around the 5-7 year mark. The fix almost always means a full compressor … Read more
I’ve worked on dozens of LG LFXS26973S units over the years, and linear compressor failure is by far the most common call I get on this model. The good news is LG’s 10-year sealed system warranty often covers the compressor itself — so before you spend a dime, verify your purchase date. Most of the … Read more
I’ve worked on dozens of Frigidaire FFTW4120SW top-loaders over the years, and lid switch failure is honestly one of the most frequent calls I get for this machine. The washer simply won’t spin or agitate because it thinks the lid is open — a classic safety interlock problem. In most cases, swapping out the lid … Read more
I’ve worked on the GE GFW650SSNWW quite a bit over the years, and pump motor failure is honestly one of the top five calls I get for this model. You’ll usually notice it first as standing water after a cycle or an error code like E23 or E31. In most cases, replacing the drain pump … Read more
I’ve worked on dozens of Maytag MHW5630HW front-loaders over the years, and CCU failure is one of the more frequent calls I get on this particular model.
