The dishwasher (Whirlpool) will not stay running. I push the door in and it starts to run, but then stops... I suspect it is the locking mechanism - needs to be adjusted or replaced. Thanks

My fridge is not cooling properly.

Before conducting any dryer repairs, make sure that you switch off all power to the unit. Here are a few basic steps you can take to fix your dryer before calling a professional dryer repair service. One of the most common dryer repair problems is a dryer that doesn't turn on. If this happens, make sure that the dryer is receiving enough power. Check the power receptacle, and if there is no problem with the power supply, then look for a properly functioning door switch. In case of a defective door switch, you may have to replace the part. There could also be a problem with the main wiring connection, like burnt or broken wiring. If this is the problem, then the terminal block located inside the dryer, as well as the power cord must be replaced. If the dryer doesn't heat, again check if the power supply is sufficient. It could also be because of a burnt out heating element. If there is a burnt thermal fuse, this may have to be replaced. In case of a gas dryer, make sure that the gas valve supply is turned on at the back of the dryer, and that the main gas supply is turned on.
If your dryer doesn't tumble or makes a lot of noise, check the interior of the drum to see if there are any objects that have become loose. A noisy dryer can also be caused by a worn out drum belt or motor bearings, a defective support roller or a faulty idler pulley. If the dryer continues to run, but there is no tumbling, there may be a fault with the belt, motor or switch. Call a dryer repair service immediately. If you can smell natural gas close to the dryer, don't turn on any electrical switches or light matches. Shut off the gas valve, and open all doors and windows to let the smell of gas out. Turn off the main gas supply connection, and then call your gas supplier from outside the house. If your drier takes long to dry, then it could be a blockage of the dryer vent. Clean the lint trap, and make sure that the dryer isn't located too close to the valve. The air duct should have enough space, and there should be no blockages in its path.
Basic washing machine repairs tend to be easier because of the simple working of the machine. If your washer doesn't agitate, look for a broken or loose belt. You can replace or tighten the belt yourself, or call a washer repair service to replace it for you. There could also be control problems that can be fixed by a repair man. If the washer doesn't drain, look for a broken tab on the lid. If the lid switch doesn't click when you press and release the switch, then it may be broken and may have to be replaced. Your water pump could be clogged with pieces of fabric. These are problems that should be handled by a professional washing machine repair service.
