Intermittent Noise from Fresh Food Section
This is the damper assembly from the fresh food section of a Kenmore 596.65232401 refrigerator. The motor was making a loud annoying noise. This damper has a louver that opens and closes to allow or restrict air flow from the freezer section. I hit it with some WD-40 which quieted it down while I wait…
Bad Gas Dryer Valve Solenoid
GE DBXR463GBOWW gas dryer tumbling but not heating. Typically this is due to a blown thermal fuse, but in this case it was one of the solenoids in the gas valve. I’ll replace the wearable parts like glides and pulley while I’m in there.

Most likely this is because the more times an igniter heats up…
Samsung Refrigerator Section Freeze-Up Repair
Samsung RF28HFEDTSR tends to freeze up in the upper right area of the refrigerator sections evaporator coils. I added this tape and foam in an effort to keep it from freezing in this section in the future. Only Time Will Tell.
Iced Over Refrigerator Section
Why oh why did manufacturers like this Samsung unit, start adding evaporator coils in the refrigerator section!? I have yet to see the benefit of doing this. Leave the cooling to the freezer section! …anyways, this is another iced over evap coils in the fresh food section of a Samsung.
Dryer making squealing noise.
Replaced belt, rollers, and idler pulley on this Samsung dryer.
