The role of refrigerators is an imperative one in modern times. An efficient fridge must have a good storage capacity. It must comprise of a freezer that can store meat, fish and other items used for consumption. It helps to preserve food for a long time and keeps them fresh. It must have a regular cooling capacity of 41degree Fahrenheit. This is a suitable temperature for preserving leftover food life bread, vegetables, and other eatables in house. The good ones are always designed well and are close to nature. They produce lesser amount of chlorofluorocarbons. This helps in saving the ozone layer from getting depleted.
The older models produce higher amount of chlorofluorocarbon that is harmful for the environment. But in recent times, the ones that are created and manufactured are environment friendly. But since they are mere electronic machineries, designed to lessen our workloads, they too face a number of tribulations at some point of time. Many a times you may have a faulty refrigerator door gasket. This indicates that you no longer have an airtight seal. It is better to check the rubber that may be worn out. You need to replace this spare part as soon as possible. Call for a professional help if required. They are experienced and can help you to fix the spare parts efficiently.
Repairing or replacing your faulty appliance parts at an appropriate time helps you to save money as well as maintain the heath of your appliance for a long time. Get a gasket that is exactly fits the gasket that your refrigerator had earlier. Also opt for branded spare parts rather than having local or duplicate parts offered at cheaper price. If you are not heading for a professional help then follow accurate guidelines that are necessary in replacing the old gasket.
Timely maintenance and proper care can add on to the life of your electronic gadgets. They also prevent the cost repairs. For a fridge you must try and clean the condenser coils. The drain system should also be cleaned properly. Replace parts that are necessary. This is essential and must be done timely.
Electronic appliances have made life simple and effortless in recent times. Manual labor has been overtaken by machineries. Machines make work simpler and offer effective results. Electronic home appliances such as toasters, washing machines, refrigerators, air conditioners, micro ovens etc contribute in a number of ways to make life simpler. They get things done in an allotted time. Taking the example of washing machines, they are machines that help in cleaning clothes. They help in removing stains and tars from clothes and offer a fresh as well as clean look to the clothes. This specific machine has a number of spare parts that help in proper functioning of this electronic gadget.
Each spare part plays a vital role that helps in proper execution of the electronic gadgets. For example, let’s talk about the washer drain pump in a washing machine. In most of the cases this part is located at the bottom of the washing machines just in front of the doors. This drain pump usually comprises of a metal pulley. There are a number of things that add to the inefficiency of the drain pump. Things like toothpick, pins, wires, plastics, sheets etc often get stuck in the pump and produce disturbances.
These things get stuck resulting in faulty functioning of the pump. The impeller tends to split from its shaft causing disturbances and interruptions. This needs to be fixed properly to ensure in proper pump functioning. The reason for this is that when certain junk things get stuck in the pump the impeller faces a number of tribulations that results in breakage of the impeller from the shaft. This can be cleaned or can be replaced in an easy way. You need to follow certain steps. Remove the bottom front panel of the pump by loosening or removing the screws that are attached. Then pull the drain pump.
Get a bowl to keep the water from the drain pump. Drain out all water and clean the pump completely by disconnecting it from the shaft. Remove all the clogged items from it. Then fix it again. Take care that the impeller is properly fixed and moves freely. If still problems persist then it is better to take a professional or expert help.

Napco has done it once again! They are supplying us with a quality replacement for Whirlpool’s dryer element 8544771. This element was used in many newer Whirlpool/Sears Kenmore dryers.
When Whirlpool first introduced their direct drive washer in 1983, the design included a small coupler between the motor and transmission made of plastic and rubber. It literally felt like a cheap toy… and the burden of turning that huge, water & clothes filled tub was on this plastic toy’s tiny shoulders! Needless to say, they began breaking immediately. All the parts distributors who worried that one of their most popular Whirlpool washer replacement parts (the belt) was disappearing took heart and Whirlpool washer coupling sales skyrocketed. The only question that remained was, Whirlpool direct drive coupling: design flaw (as customers saw it) or design feature (as Whirlpool engineers described it)? The answer is not simple.
The people who designed this machine worked with the correct assumption that no design is perfect and every machine has to fail at some point. With that in mind, they created a weak link (like a structural fuse of sorts) that was both cheap and simple: the whirlpool washer coupling. The idea was that before the motor or transmission could be damaged by an overloaded washer or something else preventing free movement of the tub, this little coupling would break. And break it did! Within a few years parts distributors were ordering these little couplers by the bag. Though it did break early and often, I believe this little weak link did also do what it was designed to do: fail before the motor & transmission got damaged.
Those in the design flaw camp also have some ammunition on their side. Namely, that while the coupler did protect the more expensive functional parts in the washer, it’s cheap, plastic design failed too quickly. The motor shaft would strip out the plastic center of the coupler or the soft rubber middle would grind into a telltale black powder on the floor beneath the washer. Because of this (after quite a few years of complaints actually), the washer coupler got a redesign- a center reinforced with metal and a more substantial rubber section. Here’s a link to the upgraded Whirlpool washer coupler.
Now that the washer coupler design has been corrected, can you guess what Whirlpool is doing this year? Bingo! Going back to a belt driven washer design with washer belt # 8540101!
A few years ago GE considered selling the appliance division to a competitor. For whatever reason, that didn’t happen and today GE is investing massive amounts of money in their US based appliance manufacturing. This is exactly the opposite of what has been happening in recent years!
GE will also benefit from the ruling Whirlpool got against some foreign companies that imposes higher tarrifs on appliances coming from South Korea and Mexico.
It might not be obvious but, for an appliance parts company, having US built models and US based distribution is extremely important. When I have to order a part from GE it is usually here in 3 to 4 days… and people really don’t like to wait that long even. Guess how long it takes to get an LG or Samsung part that doesn’t happen to be in stock in the US? Your guess is as good as mine because I’ve never had a customer wait long enough to find out (time is measured in months not days on this type back order).
Thank you General Electric! Maybe there’s hope for American manufacturing & distribution yet.
Once upon a time Maytag was a giant in US appliance manufacturing and they gobbled up companies like Amana, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef and Norge. This consolidation caused some cataloging problems for people like us who have to keep the part numbers straight and it wasn’t painless for Maytag either. There was a lot to keep up with.
And… in 2006, when Whirlpool bought Maytag (I think just to keep her away from offshore competition), things got worse!
Well, Whirlpool bought Maytag and discontinued this dryer element so if you happen to have one of the models listed at the bottom of this post then you’re out of luck… right?
Maybe not!
While the complete element is obsolete, we can still get an element restring kit that will keep that dryer out of the junkyard. It also happens to cost less than the old, complete element did as well.
