A customer called us with a complaint about poor ice maker performance in a Frigidaire refrigerator. Yes, this is a common issue that can be caused by a variety of factors.
Our technician conducted a diagnosis. The ice maker is working, but the ice cubes are hollow inside and look like shells in Frigidaire Refrigerator. Sometimes there are also issues with the water dispenser: either the water is flowing very slowly, or it stops after a few seconds. The problem is due to a restriction. The ice maker fills water not by volume but by time (about 6 seconds for this refrigerator model). If there is a restriction in water pressure, less water is filled in the set time. Water problem may be due to low pressure, old filter, faulty housing, or ice maker water valve.
- If it’s an issue with the valves or filter housing, replacing them can solve the problem.
- Replace old filters regularly to remove impurities from water.
- If the water pressure is too low, contact a plumber to replace the water supply line or valve.
However, sometimes, as in this case, you can adjust the timing on the ice maker using the adjustment bolt to increase the water fill time.

This model is rather simple. When closed the door, the
safety switch is triggered, and the dryer starts operating. If the door gets
opened during the drying cycle, the dryer is stopped for safety reasons. When
the switch fails, the dryer won’t start since perceives it as an Opened-door
mode. The switch replacement solves this problem.
The client complained about his dryer which makes the
clothes worthless because dry it with too hot air. During the diagnosis we
found out that the operation thermostat had got broken and did not held the
necessary limit of temperature. After its replacement the temperature got back
to normal.
The client complained about creaking during the drying
cycle. Sometimes it was like metal sound and was so loud that he had to stop
his dryer. This problem is typical for all laundry centers that have drum
bearing. Its is designed in such a way that plastic part of bearing always gets
worn out over the time and shall be replaced. This process is not easy because
requires disassembling of almost the whole dryer but we have done it a lot of
times and know how to repair it correctly and quality!
An experienced tech always knows what start the
diagnosis with when a client says that the dryer produces loud noises. If
during the working cycle to put the hand on the dryer and feel vibration then
the blower wheel shall be checked first. As in this case, lint is often accumulated
on the blades of the impeller. Sometimes it goes unevenly casing disbalance. It
is very easy to fix – just to clean the wheel with vacuum and vibrations will
be solved.
The heating element is the
first thing to check if your dryer stops drying. Especially if it is a Samsung
dryer. It is noticed that in this model the heating element coil burn happens
in the same place every time and the part shall be replaced exactly what was
done in this case.
The customer said his dishwasher did not start and kept beeping. We frequently deal with such problems and they usually arise due to foreign objects in drain pump. In this case the customer loaded thin glasses and one of them got broken inside. A piece of glass proceeded into the drain pump and blocked the impeller. Fortunately, the drain pump motor did not have to be replaced, we just cleaned the pump and removed the glass fragment.
Sometimes it is not enough just to replace a part. For example, in this case when replacing a broken control board it was also necessary to program it since this part is supplied for 13 different Bosch dishwashers. In the given example it was easy to do because the instruction was available in the box. But usually there is no instruction and only our experience can help to solve the problem!

The client complained about permanent leak. We found the base and the housing connection rusted away which allowed a small hole in that place. Presumably, the problems resulted from incorrect installation or blow to the base. We put the sealed patch and made a new connection.
