Winter is not done with us yet

This has been a tough winter for appliance repair.  This week our weather will reach into the 40's so we'll see some of this snow melt off.  I'll be so glad.

Dryer won't start - ticking sound

Evaporator Fan Operation

This  is a evaporator fan motor that is located in the freezer of a bottom-mount refrigerator at a house in Boise. 

The evaporator fan motor is responsible for circulating cold air from the freezer to the fresh food side of the refrigerator.  All the cooling necessary to cool your food is supplied by the freezer evaporator.  The freezing air is blown upwards, in French-door or bottom-mount refrigerators.  The airflow is constant in most cases. 

The cold air is regulated to keep a steady temperature by the use of a damper and damper motor.  The damper is opened and closed based on the refrigerator temperature - as detected by a thermistor or thermostat.

When these fans go bad the fresh food will warm but the food in the freezer will stay frozen.  You may also hear strange noise, rumbling, coming from the bad fan bearing. 

When this happens, call a professional who has the necessary experience to complete your repair quickly and professionally.

Dryer with broken blower wheel.

This is a dryer blower wheel from a whirlpool appliance.  It is money on the motor shaft so when the drum turns the blower to circulate air in the drum.  

This blower was cracked right in half.  I've never seen one of these break because they are very durable.

Many times the front door of the oven will need to be removed to access the internal components.  When testing we will sometimes need to check the gas valves, ignitors, ignition wires, and DSI signals.  In this instance it's good to have a reliable light source as well.  It's harder to fix something when you can't see it.  :->

Boise Weather is Awesome

Great day in Boise.  Not too hot and not too cold, just perfect.  I love 80's weather, probably since I grew up in th 80s.  :-)
