Refrigerator too warm or freezer icing up? A faulty thermistor prevents proper temperature regulation. This 5-minute fix restores accurate cooling.
I tried to buy a new refigerator, but strangely none of the major stores had anything I wanted in stock. The earliest delivery date for a new unit was over a month away. At that I decided to try and keep this one running. I did online research into common refigerator problems. I found the cooling coils in the freezer were covered in a block of ice and frost. The refigerator was not going through a defrost cycle. With a hair dryer I thawed out the coils. The refigerator worked fine for... Read more
Dryer won't start or shuts off mid-cycle? This thermal fuse cuts power when overheating occurs. Common fix for E63, E66 errors. DIY repair under 1 hour.

Dryer won't heat or start? A failed thermal fuse assembly cuts power when temps get too high. Common fix for no-heat issues. Takes 30-45 minutes.
I found a few videos on YouTube about other dryers that gave me enough information to figure out my own. I was able to pull out the heater element and replace it with a new one that arrived the day after I purchased it. I also replaced the thermal fuse and thermostat. Read more
Dryer not heating or flame goes out after igniting? This flame sensor monitors burner temperature to regulate gas flow. Easy 15-minute DIY repair.
Being a complete DIY I hate to call some unknown person into my home knowing that just to get them there will cost me more than I will spend for parts that I don't need.After all, they are trying to make a living and by selling me parts that I don't need will increase their profits. I've dealt with APP before and was impressed by their site because I could find both mechanical and electrical drawings for almost everything I have. I looked up my dryer, decided what was probably the problem,... Read more
Dryer won't heat or shuts off during cycle? The thermal cut-off terminal prevents overheating by cutting power. DIY fix in 15-20 minutes with a multimeter.
Replaced the thermal fuse and the heating element. It took about 15 minutes to diagnose using a multimeter. The shipping was super fast! It took 15 minutes to install. Read more
Dryer won't heat? A failed thermal cut-off fuse cuts power when temps spike. DIYers replace this safety part in 20-30 minutes with basic tools.
The 2 sensors that sit on top of the flame tube work together. The Thrmst F should check closed, as should the Cutoff-TML, in order for power to flow to the ignitor. If the Cutoff is open, it is usually because the Thrmst-F did not open soon enough. The Thermst-F will cycle, closed to open, and repeat, however the Cutoff-HTML is a one time switch. If it opens it will not return to closed, and subsequently the ignitor will not glow. Some professionals say that if one of these sensors fail, both... Read more

I purchased a new heating element. Very easy to fix in about twenty minutes Read more
The Water Temperature Sensor is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. This sensor ensures the water is reaching the proper temperature at each stage of the wash cycle. Note: The sensor does not include the seal W11590578. Order separately if needed.
Causes of a bad temperature sensor can be failures over time due to mechanical wear, thermal stress on electronic components, or damage from leaks/flooding inside the unit.
Symptoms of a bad water temperature sensor include:
This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
Replace the water temperature sensor and still had the error code. While I had the back of the machine open I ran the washer. I traced the black wires from the temperature sensor and wiggled them as the washer was running. At one zip tie every time i moved the wires the washer would stop running and the error code would flash. Sure enough, like many others posted, the vibration from the machine had split the wire. I spiced the wire back together and have not had a problem since. Read more
Dryer won't heat or shows E66 error? The thermal limiter prevents overheating by monitoring airflow. Moderate DIY repair, requires rear panel access.
I actually found a post from another brave soul who was willing to try to fix his, and had stated when he put the new limiter switch in, it fixed the problem. Since the whole back of the dryer needs to come off to get to the burner, and the limiter switch is inexpensive it seemed like common sense to take this approach first. After all, you don't put a new engine in your car if all it needs is a new battery! I also found posts that an overheating event could fry the main control board, and... Read more
This moisture sensor consists of two metal strips typically mounted inside the dryer drum area that detect the moisture level in clothing during a drying cycle. It signals the control board to end the cycle when clothes reach the desired dryness. Replace this sensor if your dryer shuts off too early with clothes still damp, runs too long, or if the auto-dry cycle no longer functions properly.
Simple unscrewed the set screw, removed the broken sensor-moisture part, attached the leads, and reattached the part to the back of the dryer. Took about 4 minutes. Read more

Dryer won't heat or shuts off early? The high limit thermostat monitors temperature and cuts power when overheating occurs. DIY repair in 30 minutes.
The Flame Sensor is an OEM part for GE dryers. This part detects the presence of a flame in gas dryers, ensuring that the gas ignites properly for safe and efficient drying. Causes of a bad flame sensor can include regular wear and tear, carbon buildup from the gas flame, or electrical malfunctions. Symptoms of a bad flame sensor include:
This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
GE Gas Dryer Model DBVH512GF1WW began to heat for only a short amount of time so drying clothes took WAY too long. Read online that the first thing to replace are the solenoids. Bought the two solenoids from AppliancePartsPros.com for about $50 total, and it seems to have fixed the problem. Had to watch a few videos to learn to disassemble the dryer, and the job took a couple of hours, but now that I know what I'm doing it could be done in less than 30 minutes. Also, the old solenoids tested... Read more
This high limit thermostat is a safety device that monitors the temperature inside the dryer and cuts power to the heating element if the temperature exceeds a safe threshold. It is typically mounted on the heating element housing or exhaust duct. Replace this thermostat if the dryer is not heating at all or if it overheats - a tripped high limit thermostat often indicates a clogged vent or restricted airflow that should also be addressed.
My Electrolux Frigidaire Gas Dryer stopped working and I got an error code E66 that the thermal limiter blew from over heating. The E66 code stops displaying after the initial code and you will then get a door open message. I replaced the thermal limiter and the thermostat just to be sure which part at the problem. The job is hard because you have to take apart the entire dryer and remove the drum. Would be a tough project to complete on your own. Read more
