GE washer dryer combo cycle not finish, repair in Chicago, Portage park.

 

One more combo washer and dryer. The model is GUD27. The problem is washer newer finish the cycle. Diagnostics showed that the cycle stops on the spin mode. The lid lock was suspected. But upon closer examination of the problem, it was established that someone tried to move the device by lifting it by the top panel of the washing machine. This caused a barely noticeable deformation of the panel and did not correct the operation of the lid lock. The panel was returned to its original shape, the problem was solved. Simple repair for experienced technician.

Frigidaire dishwasher drain pump replacement in Morton grove, IL.

Had a service call with Frigidaire dishwasher , model FDB1502RGB2 drain problem.

(no photos today, didn’t have time to take photos at this job)

Diagnostics show that the drain pump shaft is loose and jammed.

The diagram shows the spare number 154580301. But, unfortunately, this part was not in the car. Taking a closer look, it turned out that this is the same as 5304492415, only without the pump hose housing. Replaced it with this part, now everything works!

Power is being supplied to the control board, measured 115 volts on input terminal pins, but the board appears to be disconnected. Finally, disconnect the power connector from the control and connect it back. The green diode on the board will start blinking and everything will start working as it should.

After looking carefully find a problem inside a control board power connector. When washer operates it has some vibration. Connector contacts very poor quality and loosen with time. 

So solution is to adjust contacts dimensions inside connector.
