I have a kenmore frontload washer model 417.48102. It just stopped spinning and shut down. I turn it back on, it will do everything until it needs to spin then shuts down. Why does it shut down when i

My guess is the door switch is a two part switch, and one is controling the spin cycle, the other works cause it does everything else..

Error Code 1

The fastest I ever saw a Kenmore softener thrown in the dump was seven weeks old. This was at the owner's insistence; just wouldn't remove iron. He bought an Autotrol with a turbulator from me. This was about 15 years ago and it still works just fine. He had his first service call 2 years ago. I've always thought that quality was more important than price, but if you wish to install yourself I can come so close to the "sale" price of a Kenmore.

Kenmore Dryer model # 110.87081601 recently received the console control mojule(where the control button are). their parts person told me this probally was my problem. did not work. the dryer is making a clinking sound like a relay is not working. The cabnet control modjule pictured does not match the pictures on the parts list. the cabnet control modjule pictured does not have any relays nor does it have the higher voltage wires. the one not pictured does. would you say a clicking relay and no results might be the problem and if so, i probally need to call sears and talk with a supervisor? Or is there something else?

There are levels of seals if one of them is worn out usually the chlorine deteriorate rubber seals on every brand . Take a look at the valve head top view you will see a philips screw turn it clockwise one position there is also a little red dot for guidance each turn will put the system in next regen cycle backwash rinse refill and in service if uour getting dome reaction as soon as tiurning screws your seals and if stuck in cycle and water pressure cant build ip in proper chamber it will not produce soft water unless seals are replaced replace the whole set sometimes they wont sell you parts unless uour trained kinetico the tubes inside are called risor tubes and ate cheap i would get a plumber to help you its not expensive for seal kits or risor tube its ok and when water taste like chlorine thats when carbon is done and can buy bulk on line

Culigan water filter uc-3a leaks at weep hole

A leak from the weep hole on a Culligan UC-3A Water Filter usually means the internal cartridge seal or housing O-rings are failing. The weep hole is designed to let water escape when an internal seal leaks, instead of letting pressure build inside the unit. Most common causes: Cartridge not fully seated Damaged or dry O-rings Cracked filter head/housing Worn internal valve seal Excessive water pressure Things to try first: Shut off water supply Relieve pressure by opening the faucet. Remove and reinstall the cartridge Inspect for: Torn O-rings Debris on sealing surfaces Cracks in cartridge neck Lubricate O-rings lightly with food-grade silicone grease. Inspect the housing carefully Look around: Cartridge socket Filter head Area near the weep hole Hairline cracks are common after freezing or overtightening. Replace the cartridge A bad cartridge seal alone can cause weep-hole leakage. Check water pressure If house pressure is very high (typically over 80 psi), the internal seals may leak. A pressure regulator may be needed. If it still leaks after a new cartridge: The filter head/internal valve assembly is likely damaged. On many UC-series units, replacing the head assembly is more practical than repair. Also check: Whether the leak happens only during flow or continuously. Only during flow ? sealing/pressure issue Constant drip ? cracked housing or failed internal seal If you want, send: A photo of the leak area Age of the unit Whether the cartridge was recently changed Exact leak behavior (steady drip vs only while running water) ...and I can help pinpoint whether it's the cartridge, O-ring, or housing.

The question I ask on may 30 and answered, but my husband said water pipe under road was not metal. Said it was a blue pipe.

Posting follow-ups as a new post doesn't work here on Fixya because posts are not threaded by poster or subject. This post has no context to your previous post. This should be posted under my Comment as it was me that answered you. And you posted to the category 'Cars and Trucks'. https://www.fixya.com/support/t29875597-after_building_new_house_master_bathroom Unless you are in a new division, connect to a new water main, there will be cast iron pipe that was cut and joined to the blue PEX Pipe. The answer is the same, contact your water supplier. Put samples in clear glass containers or jars and show them. It is their duty to provide you with clean water.

We didn't have heat for more than a week and shut the water off and on and now the water softener had a lot of water in it and we don't know if it works. Is there a way to check?

Question moved from Washing Machines category. Water softeners add a small amount of water to dissolve the salt. You can just remove some of the water from it. https://www.google.com/search?q=how+water+softener+works+animation ..

The new Nikai water dispenser doesn't make hot water

It sound like it is not properly wired. The earth wire must be connected for your safety. Also what is the voltage on the nameplate verses what you connected it to.

Ceramic water dispenser overflows

Contact the maker of this mystery water bottle dispenser. It sounds like it needs replacing under warranty. However..... SOLUTION by OP: there was a hairline crack that did not show up until the plastic water bottle was inverted & the pressure /exchange between both bottle & crock caused enough "pull" to cause spillover the top of the crock. I have a secondary polycarb bottle (3gal) which is working perfectly. Simple physics, once again..
