Dryer only runs on one setting or shuts off early? The timer controls drying cycles and heating. Takes about 15 minutes to replace with basic tools.
After calling Whirlpool customer support learned that a replacement timer would be $136. The CSR gave me the part number needed. Online I found AppliacePartsPros. I called and got a very personable CSR who took my order. I was assured the part was a genuine, new--not rebuilt--timer. My order was placed in minutes. Although I ordered standard shipping and my part arrived in 2 days!! Unfortunately Whirlpool had given me the wrong part number so I contacted AppliancePartsPros and reordered... Read more
Oven won't heat or bakes unevenly? The bake element likely failed. Located at oven bottom, this part restores proper baking heat. 10-minute DIY fix.
The first thing I did was call appliance pros. The tec told me it was a good chance it was the thermostat. He told how to test it with my ohm meter and what range it should be in. I pulled it out and tested it, which was out of the limits he told me it should be in. So I ordered the part. When it arrived in two days, I installed it. The oven now works perfect. Thank you so much. I was just about to go spend $800 on a new oven, and instead fixed it for $75. Awesome website. It was... Read more

Dryer won't heat or flame goes out after ignition? The flame sensor monitors burner flame presence. Common DIY fix with multimeter testing required.
I used Fixya as an initial source describing my problem. I got two responses which were very helpful. One that the "coils" were probably the problem. Two, that the problem could be the thermostat or a thermistor in the dryer. I verified that AC was coming from the timing control, that both the two terminal and three terminal coils,the igniter and shut off thermostat all had continuity. I then applied AC directly to the coils: the two terminal coil ""clanked" and I interpreted that as the coil... Read more
Fix a washer that won't fill, fills slowly, or shows an LF error code with a new water inlet valve. Most DIYers complete this repair in 10-15 minutes.
I removed the top of the washer, disconnected the existing inlet valve assembly, and replaced it with the part I bought from AppliancePartsPros.com. If it hadn't taken me 30 minutes to figure out how to remove the top of the washer (not the entire top, just the cover over the control panel area), this would have been a 5 minute repair. Read more

Replace your dim or burnt-out microwave light bulb to restore interior illumination. Easy screw-in installation. Confirm fit with your model number.
After extremely poor support from WhirlpooI and researching numerous U-Tube videos, I fully troubleshot potential failed components and connections. All appeared to function properly, so I reassembled the unit and experienced the same problem as before. I then narrowed down the problem to either the Touchpad ($57+$8 shipping) or the control board ($295+shipping). If those did not work, then a new Microwave of better quality, reliability and support than original microwave, Unfortunately,... Read more

Washer won't start, agitate, or spin? A faulty lid switch is the likely cause. This safety switch is easy to replace in under 5 minutes with basic tools.
First I checked the circuit breakers and power to the outlet, then next wanted to check the lid switch, but it wasn't where I had found it on older models. I could hear it clicking on and off as I raised and lowered the lid, but it wasn't visible. I drained the tub through a siphon hose to lighten the machine, so I could slide it away from the wall to better see. Couldn't see the switch anywhere and decided it must be hiding in the raised console, but was unsure of how to attack it without... Read more

Door balance link kit for dishwashers. Connects door springs to control door movement. Replace if rope is frayed, broken, or plastic clips are cracked or worn.
I finally decided to repair my dishwasher because the door would free fall to the floor possibly breaking the hinges. Also the top shelf was rolling out on its own every time the door was opened. I first pulled the dishwasher out of the enclosure and found that the drain hose was directly under the pump area throwing the unit completely out of level. Also the inadequate plastic and rope counterbalance on the left side was completely broken where the rope was attached to the plastic piece to the... Read more
Dishwasher not draining or has standing water at end of cycle? This drain pump removes wastewater efficiently. Easy DIY repair, no tools needed.
I've opened sump housing to check for clogging but it was clean. When I removed check valve to inspect it I've found out that the round part of the valve was missing so I figured it might've blocked the water exit at drain hose or something like that. So I pulled the dishwasher out to get a full access to drain hose connector and the pump. Upon disconnecting the drain and checking its connector I indeed found the round piece totally blocking the hose and acting as a seal. I removed the piece... Read more
Rubber door boot seal prevents water leaks between the washer drum and door. Replace if torn, cracked, or leaking during cycles. Confirm fit by model.
I noticed the rubber seal (bellow) was damaged near the bottom of the bellow. It looks like removing clothes from the machine had worn away and eventually ripped away some of the seal. This caused water to leak out the bottom of the door. I looked up the model number of my washer on the web and searched for the part number of the bellow. Once I found it I searched eBay, Amazon and a few other places for the part number and opted for Appliance Parts Pros. The part was reasonably priced and... Read more
Washer making loud metal grinding noise during spin? The transmission converts motor power into drum agitation. Moderate difficulty repair with video guide.
I knew from the loud sound during the spin cycle that the bearings were going out, I ordered a gearcase part number W11455453 (AP6993918) which has the bearings, tub seal, and shaft altogether which makes the repair much easier to complete. I will say you should also order the spanner wrench it makes taking the spanner nut off and putting back on much easier also, part number TB123B (AP6832671). With this model washer, you don't have to take the tub out you just need to take the washer plate... Read more
Replaces flickering or non-functional LED light board in your refrigerator. Install when lights strobe, dim, or fail. Verify fit with your model number.
It was a classic horror story, but with a happy ending! I called a classic, "regular" repair company that I obtained on-line. My Whirlpool was 2 months out of warranty, so the repairman charged a trip-fee of $95 that would be subtracted from the cost of my repair. "Lee" showed up an hour late, even though he was told that I had to leave for work by 10:30 (-He assured me that he would have me fixed by then). The refrigerator was rolled out of its spot, and Lee began to remove the back cover... Read more
