Washer won't drain or leaves clothes soaking wet? This drain pump removes water from the tub after each cycle. Typical DIY repair takes 20-30 minutes.
I ordered a new pump on this website. They provided me with written directions as well as a video to follow along with on how to change the pump. As always it wasn't as easy as the video, but that was the mechanic no the tool! Great job on the service. Will order parts from here again. Read more
Refrigerator leaking water or ice maker not working? This water inlet valve controls water flow to your dispenser and ice maker. Moderate DIY repair.
Replaced the water line and water supply solenoid valve (slight weeping at valve body also). This is a 3 year old whirlpool refrigerator, model WRX988SIBM00. A crack in the water line after only 3 years is a poor design. My intent was to replace the entire water line from the valve to the filter. But I could not remove the interior top trim piece to access the filter connection. I did not want to force the trim piece to hard and break it. So what I did was install a new water line at the...

Fix dishwasher not filling or H2O error codes with this water inlet valve assembly. Controls water flow into tub. Moderate DIY repair, about 1 hour.
It was one of 3 things basically, motherboard, pressure sensor or fill valve. I tried cleaning the pressure sensor to no avail. I proceeded to replace both the valve and the sensor because the parts were very inexpensive and the cost of a motherboard wasn't worth it. I completed the repair in about 1 hour and have ran it twice without incident . Read more
Dryer won't heat or stops heating after 10-15 minutes? Gas valve coils control burner ignition. Simple 5-10 minute repair with video guide included.
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

Fix a dishwasher that won't fill with water or leaks underneath. This water inlet valve controls water flow into your dishwasher. Easy 30-minute repair.
Recently my Kenmore dishwasher would start but would not fill with water. A quick test of the float switch reflected proper operation, AND voltage was being delivered TO the contact on the water inlet valve. I then removed power and checked for continuity on the contacts. This read “infinity” (Open circuit) which indicated a break in the coil inside the valve’s solenoid. As such the valve would not open to allow water to flow. I ordered the replacement water inlet valve from... Read more
Fix a dishwasher that won't fill with water or leaks when not in use. This water inlet valve controls water flow during the fill cycle. DIY repair.
Using instructions I obtained over the internet, I first removed the DW's bottom cover panels so I could look inside the DW (with a flashlight) while it was running. I had to put their dishwasher through several wash cycles before I could pinpoint the location of the leak. (The water appeared to be coming from above on the left side of the DW, near the top, rear of the DW's blue "Pressure Chamber." Thinking that the problem likely lay in either a malfunctioning Pressure Chamber or in a... Read more
Fix a leaking water valve or non-working ice maker and water dispenser. This dual inlet valve controls water flow to both systems. DIY-friendly repair.
To verify if you have a bad valve in the first place read on... I first pulled out the ice maker to remove all the frozen water including the inlet section which was a huge solid waterfall of ice. While it was out completely disconnected I cleaned/chipped out the freezer section ice puddle. I also completely melted the ice cubes and ice puddles off the ice maker at the fill bucket end in the sink with running water careful to not get water near the power cord area. I then put a tall plastic cup... Read more
No water or ice? This inlet valve controls water flow to your dispenser and ice maker. Common fix for leaks at connections. 30-minute repair.
Replaced both inlet valves, no joy. Upon further inspection, found ice maker harness extremely tight at lower freezer door hinge, clamped in place right at a pivot point. Essentially the harness is held in place and rotates with the door. 6 wires broken inside. Splice repair and ice maker now works. Most likely will have to replace harness eventually. Unless there is more slack inside the freezer door this will probably happen again. Very poor design. Read more

Symptoms of a bad washer water valve include:
This OEM Frigidaire part is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator and some Kenmore models.
After trying several things, I ordered the pressure sensor and water valve as they seem like likely culprits of the problem. I first changed the pressure sensor and the washer worked fine for three loads sat overnight and then e11 the next morning. I changed the water valve that day and the washer seems to be working fine now. This is on Electrolux front load washer. One extra thing I did when I swapped out these parts was they use a Shop-Vac to suck out the drain line. Not sure if this had an... Read more

Fix a washer that won't fill, fills slowly, or won't stop filling. This water inlet valve controls water flow during wash cycles. 30-minute repair.
Ordered the valve body from Appliance Parts Pro. It was very easy to find the part on their website. Ordering was simple. The part actually got here the next day. I received an email about 2 hours after I received the part that contained the tracking number. That is what is known as quick and reliable service. Part was a little hard to replace since I have big hands. There are 2 metal screws that hold the valve body to the washer that are in a small confined area. Unless you want to dismantle... Read more
Fix slow fills, no hot water, or water dripping issues. This dual inlet valve controls hot and cold water flow into your washer tub. Moderate DIY repair.
I replaced both the solenoid (part of the inlet valve kit) and the pressure sensor. Online research suggested my intermittent issue with the cold water fill being just a trickle and then causing an error was likely due to one or both of those two parts failing. Since they are in the same spot it was suggested (and I agree) that it is best to replace both at the same time. The hardest and most frustrating part was getting the bracket back on with the two bottom tabs being in place. It took... Read more
