@@bensappliancesandjunk Hi Ben, I have an 15 year old Amana fridge that isn't cooling well and since I'm a bit handy I'd like to work on it myself. Do you offer any live/personal technical help (free or fee-based)? I don't have social media but if you have an email that's better for communication, please provide. Thanks!
Thank you! I have the glass top Frigidaire where the glass edge slides over the countertop. The knobs are in the front, but I assume it would look the same behind the knobs where the infinite switches are. The front left burner is out, so I am going to replace it, after going through the troubleshooting. Again, thank you!
HVAC tech here with a question. Where would I go to get training on appliance repair. I really haven't found a program here in southern California, San Diego specifically. Please!!!
My apartment stove heats up and I hear a click and it goes out. The element lights up and you feel heat but it doesn’t boil water as it needs too. Unsure if I replace the infinite switch would solve this.
At 11:26 in your video, there is a smaller white "box" above the two other larger white switches. There is a white and purple wire going to this. What is this? I broke a disconnect to this box and am trying to figure out (a) if I even need to have it connected and (b) if I need a special high heat disconnect on it. I could cut the wire and crimp a disconnect in it but worried it has to be a high heat disconnect. Thanks
I'm having a similar issue with mine. Its either it shuts off way too early and doesn't heat up properly... or it just gets hot to the damn max and never shuts off... its messed up. Cheap garbage, sadly.
I remember in my grandparents day that they released a stove that didn't get hot. It was just a EM coil that heated up a coil on the pan itself. The pot was the only thing that got hot. It didn't catch on, but nothing useful ever does, does it.
Ben Ben Ben, what on earth are you trying to do, giving advice to people to repair something in this manner is so reckless and irresponsible. Don’t know where to start, ok , you suggest to use rubber gloves to work on live 💥 wiring, dude that’s just insane. Then there’s the concept that someone who’s not a trained professional can safely dismantle and reassemble such an appliance and guarantee the ongoing safety of themselves and their family members, the amperage available to a stove is huge and is relentless in causing injuries or death, in a flash so to speak. Then there’s the eventuality of risk of fire, yeh try arguing with your insurance company why they won’t cover replacing your burnt out house because fire investigation determines an unregistered person incorrectly wired up the stove. Sorry for the PSA but there needs to be an adult in the room
@@4zooflorida , aaah, no, I’m just well versed in insurance claims and fire investigation. There’s a really good reason that being an electrician is a 4 year apprenticeship, but whatever, I suppose you probably prescribe to home dentistry too.
While I totally agree that this is not a diy project and an electrical fire hazard issue, you are completely wrong about homeowner insurance issues. Unless you commit arson, you will still receive coverage for doing careless or stupid things.
