Rinse cycle, Kenmore Series 80 Washer

C

Catalina_steve on Jan 25, 2009

Folks, I have a Kenmore Series 80 washer (Model 110.26842692). There is a separate switch for either 1 rinse or 2. Regardless of what setting I set the rinse switch to the wash cycle always completes thru the 2nd rinse cycle. I removed the rinse switch and with a VOM measure continuity across the contacts. If the switch is set to 1 rinse the contact are open, if set on 2nd rinse the contact are closed. Any suggestions? Thanks, Catalina_steveRead More

Noisy GE Profile Dryer

J

jrseven on Nov 22, 2008

Have noticed that when the dryer is running, it is very noisy. The dryer is a GE Profile model # DPSB613GD0WW and is 4 yrs old. It is not a metallic or scraping sound but a humming, growling type of sound. I've cleaned out the excess lint in front & rear ducts. I've opened it up to inspect/clean the inside of the unit. I didn't find much lint build-up inside. I did notice lint accumulating on & in the dryer motor so I removed it & blew it away. I inspected the drive belt, dryer drum slides, idler pulley, rear drum bearing, & front drum bearing. The drive belt shows no damage or excessive wear. The dryer drum slides show normal wear, grooves are present but not excessively deep. The idler pulley appears in good condition. The rear drum bearing appears in good condition. Front drum bearing is not damaged. The dryer drum itself is in excellent shape & not misshapen. I re-installed the motor and put everything back together and still this noise is present. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.Read More
