Sears Kenmore Freezer Condenser Motor

Sears Kenmore Side by Side Refrigerator(model#106.56563400): Not cooling well, freezer items not hard enough and refrigerator section warming up too. When I touched the middle cabinet divider it was very hot. I pulled the refrigerator out from the wall, then took off the lower back access cover and found the condenser fan motor not turning, it had gone bad.

Frigidaire Dish-washer Leaking

Model #PLD2855RFC1, this dishwasher started leaking small amounts of water while in use. The customer noted the problem was anywhere from no water to enough that a towel was needed to clean up the mess but really wanted to have it repaired to save the hardwood floors.



Unlike many commercial dishwashers, household dishwashers do not seal shut when the door is closed, but use seals and gaskets at appropriate locations to keep the water inside the tub. Many people will notice the side seals that are used to keep the water from leaking out the side, but most are not aware of the seal or seals at the bottom of the door. These seals, because they are mounted to the door, need to be flexible enough to bend when the door is opened, but rigid enough to hold back the water surge from the wash pump. If either of the door seals were to begin leaking, the common symptom noticed would be water dripping from the bottom corners of the door panel. Figuring which of the two seals is leaking is just a matter of observation.

I removed the outer door panel to have a better look at the bottom seal during a wash cycle and noticed the water surge that was slipping past the seal. Sometimes these seals can be adjusted up or down to change how they contact the tub, but if that doesn't work, then it's time to change the seal.

I installed the new style bottom seal into this unit which no longer uses the additional wings on the ends, but rather uses a new let of seals that fit into the corners. Once I was done, the dishes could be washed without worrying about water on the floor.

Testing Flip-up Ice Producers

Ice maker components can easily be tested by gaining access to the module on the front of the unit. There you will find several holes that lead to electrical test points on the module. Using a multi-meter, voltage and resistance checks can be conducted at these test points. Using an insulated (14 gauge) jumper wire will allow component operation testing. Compare your findings to the readings below to help with unit diagnosis. These ice maker modules are found on most Whirlpool and Maytag manufactured products along with a few others. If the module looks like the one pictured, these checks will work for you.



Before conducting these tests, make sure the ice maker is plugged into the refrigerator, the shut-off arm is down, and the freezer is below 15 F. Also make sure the water connection is turned on, and that supply tube to the ice maker is not frozen.

• Verify voltage to the ice maker by measuring between test points L & N on the module. Line voltage of approximately 120 volts AC should be expected. If voltage is not present, verify the ice maker is plugged into the connector and the shut off arm is down. Some models require the door switch to be in the closed position to power the ice maker. If you still don’t have voltage to the ice maker, check the thermal fuse on the black wire for an open circuit.



• Check the thermostat by measuring between test points T & H on the module. If the bi metal thermostat is open, approximately 120 VAC will be measured. If it is closed, 0VAC will be measured. If the bi metal reads open inside a cold freezer, then the thermostat has failed and needs to be replaced.



• A jumper wire inserted between test points T & H will bypass the bi metal thermostat and force a harvest cycle. If the motor does not run with the jumper in place, replace the module assembly. Leave the jumper wire in for the first half a revolution to verify the mold heater is working. Removing the jumper during the last half a revolution will allow the water fill valve to actuate. Failure of the mold heater to operate would indicate it needs to be replaced. An open mold heater will also prevent the water valve from operating.




• A jumper wire inserted between test points L & V will actuate the water fill valve (have towels handy). If the fill valve fails to operate, verify the wiring to the valve by measuring voltage at the valve connectors. Voltage present at the fill valve but no operation, indicates a bad valve. If there is no voltage present, verify your wiring back to the ice maker module.

These are the basic tests to help diagnose a failed ice maker component. By following these steps, you should be able to locate and correct your problem.
