Fixes no heat during drying, wet dishes, or blinking sanitized light. This safety thermostat cuts power if water overheats. Moderate DIY repair.
Performed diagnostic tests. Had code for no heat. I performed a continuity check on the element and found it to be bad. I replaced the Heating Element per the video directions they provided on their website. I also replaced the Hi-Limit Thermostat since I was in that area already. The dishwasher is repaired for a fraction of the cost of what I would have paid a repair person to do the work. Read more

Dryer won't heat or overheats? High limit thermostat prevents overheating by shutting off heat at high temps. Easy DIY repair with video guide.
For several months we could smell a slight odor of propane in the laundry room and wondered why, just didn't seem like it was enough to be overly concerned, but thought something must be wrong with the dryer, but it was still working. We just didn't know how inefficiently. Then the extra time it took to dry a load of clothes progressively seemed to get longer, but things still seemed to work fine and the clothes got dried, given enough time. Then approximately 3 weeks ago we noticed the dryer... 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
Fridge not cooling but freezer works? Ice buildup on evaporator coils? This defrost thermostat regulates defrost cycles. Easy 5-15 minute DIY fix.
My GSS20IETD BB side-by-side refrigerator had been having the ice form into a single mass over a period of a week after cleaning it out. It actually kept breaking my ice maker auger and pushing the slide-in tray or shelf over the ice maker up breaking it also. Frost would form all over food after about a couple of weeks. The ice auger motor would freeze up and stop turning. The coils did not have frost on them when I was able to view them. I replaced the thermistors in the freezer, defrost the... Read more
Refrigerator freezing food or not cooling properly? A faulty temperature sensor may be the cause. DIY-friendly repair with video guide available.
Watched a video. Ordered a thermistor. Made the fix. $100 total including expedited shipping. Diagnosing the problem was more stressful than fixing. Read more

The High Limit Thermostat is an OEM replacement part for GE electric dryers. Located internally near heating components, this safety device monitors drum temperatures to prevent excessive heat accumulation. Causes of malfunction relate to water residues creating shorts, loose terminals detaching wiring due to vibrations, or a worn heat sensitive mechanism reacting slower over time. Symptoms involve:
This GE OEM replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
Did continuity tests on the sensors, till I figured out what one was bad. Read more
Ice buildup in freezer or warm fridge? This defrost heater melts frost from evaporator coils during the defrost cycle. Moderate DIY repair with video guide.
Tried to put refrigerator in defrost mode and defrost would not initiate. Checked the bi-metal and heater, both tested good. Replaced the ADC board and refrigerator went in to defrost. problem solved. Read more
The Defrost Thermostat is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It monitors the temperature of the evaporator coils and activates the defrost heater when necessary. This process prevents frost buildup on the coils, ensuring the refrigerator maintains optimal cooling efficiency.
You should replace the defrost thermostat if it becomes faulty or damaged. Common causes of a bad defrost thermostat include electrical failures, regular wear and tear, or temperature fluctuations that can degrade the component over time.
Symptoms of a bad defrost thermostat include:
This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.
My Frigidaire side by side refrigerator/freezer suffered a catastrophic failure. The symptoms were as follows: 1) Frig not cold 2) No Ice being made in the freezer section 3) Items at the back of the freezer were frozen but items on the door shelves would not freeze. The back of the freezer was cold but the closer you got to the door the warmer it got. After removing everything from the unit I saw that there was substantial ice buildup on back of the freeze, specifically around the vents,... Read more
Fix frost buildup on evaporator coils causing warm temps or freezer icing. This defrost heater melts accumulated ice. DIY repair in 30-40 minutes.
REPLACED DEFROSTER, CONDENSER FAN MOTOR AND DEFROST THERMOSTAT. Read more
Freezer icing up and fridge running warm? This defrost thermostat regulates defrost cycles to prevent frost buildup. Takes about 30 minutes to install.
After we moved into our new home, we realized that the freezer was very cold and the fins were frosting over, and the refrigerator wasn't cold. We had to take it apart and manually defrost it about once every 8 to 10 days. After research online, we found Appliance Parts Pros videos, which clearly explained how to fix it ourselves, a savings of at least $1,000 or more, since a new one of this size would have been in the arena of $1,200 to $2000. We ordered the three most likely parts to be bad,... 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.
Tested upper thermostat for continuity and had none. Cleaned exhaust of excess lent. Changed cycling thermostat and cutoff terminal. And now she works great. Read more
Microwave won't start or is completely dead? This fuse protects against electrical overload. Requires disassembly to access. Often replace with switches.
After doing some research the problem appeared to be the door safety switches. I ordered 3 new ones to replace all the original ones. Some minor disassembly of the microwave front was required to reach the fuse and switches. To reach the switches the control panel wires needed to be unplugged and the panel removed. After doing that replacing the switches was pretty strait forward. As of this comment the microwave has worked for 5 days without blowing the fuse so far. This has probably fixed the... Read more
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
Ice maker not producing ice or water flow stopped? The fill tube heater prevents freezing in the water line. Moderate DIY repair with video guide.
Turn off the water to the ice maker. Unload the freezer and remove the freezer door so you have room to work. Remove the ice maker by removing 2 screws in the front then pull the unit toward the front and unplug the wiring connection. The pipe will now be exposed. Remove the flexible piece from the front of the pipe that directs the water flow to the ice cube tray. Remove the wire tie on the front of the pipe and peel off the insulation surrounding the pipe. The heater will now be exposed.... Read more
