We have a 6-month old kenmore elite washer model #:110-24942300. It stopped working in the middle of washing cycle. Not sure what happened but the washer won't spin or drain water any more. It can still fill water but when it comes to spin cycle, it gives a Buzz. Any idea what could be wrong? Appreciate any assistance in advance. Thanks.

We had a bizarre electrical problem, and are now faced with repairing/replacing several appliances. The power company was tunneling, and hit the power main underground. This energized the ground, tripping half of our breakers, and causing general havoc around the neighborhood. The cable junction box at the corner caught on fire! Our range is dead- the surface works, but the display is dead and the oven doesn't work. What I'm most concerned about is the fridge. Although still running, the edges around the door seals are very hot! The freezer seems awfully warm now, too. I'm guessing that the controller for the seal defroster is stuck 'on'? Can it be repaired, or am I shopping for a new fridge? Needless to say, this will all be on the power company's dime, but they are not wanting to pay full replacement value. They will pay for any repairs. I'm worried that simply having things repaired may not be a good idea, since we have no idea what kind of stress may have been placed on these units. Any thought?
