Bens Appliances and Junk

Добавлен 6 ноя 2019
My name is Ben. I run a used appliance store in Central Ohio. When I started learning about appliances, I had no mentors to help me because everyone in the area basically had retired. I learned everything I could from RUclips, and found out a few things were missing, so I decided to start a channel to share some things I've learn to help others fix their appliances!

LG Heat Pump Dryer Maintenance & Secret Cleaning Mode - How to Do (DLHC5502)
In this video, I show you how to do all of the various maintenance on the new LG DLHC5502 heat pump dryer. Proper maintenance will keep it clean, dry, and lasting for as long as possible. One of the most critical modes is not activated by default on the unit, so near the end of the video, I show how to activate & run that mode.
Additionally, I suggest the frequency of all the various maintenance steps on the machine, so you have an idea when to do them. These frequencies are based on both LG's recommendations, and other recommendations for similar units and systems.

and you should never ever ever ever use a line cord and a 1n007 diode to charge a spare 12 or 15 microfarad compressor motor start capacitor up to around 175 volts and throw it at a buddy and say here catch don't do it
On my ge refrigerator there is a four conductor plug four wires going into the evaporator fan motor I think there is a thermistor or something in the evaporator fan motor housing not sure but I think so
I am lucky I used to repair oscilloscopes and other test equipment I can do component level troubleshooting on the control boards and everything but sometimes I don't bother if the whole board is very cheap
Besides hearing the evaporator fan or being able to see it spin you can always use the finger test pretty low power fan just kidding well sort of
I have a GE refrigerator exactly like this one I was careful and I used a pressure washer to clean the condenser I was very careful and it made my condenser look like new I did it 6 months ago the refrigerator works fine
No its not gonna last longer just because its made in the U.S. you're so full of it 🤣🤣🤣💀
A friend was told by the Frigidaire repair guy her ice maker couldn't be fixed. Seems like an excuse because this is a heavy multiple step for a normal person but repair guy should be capable like you. Ben. Then another friend had deeper complex issues were it ended damaging her floors. Then again I'm not sure if she ever paid attention to notice any real issues till everything really shut down. I always appreciate your videos from refrigerator to washing machine/ dryer repairs and reviews you have helped me multiple times. 😊👍
Thanks so much… The only question I have… what stupid I am to buy a fridge for 3 grand and have all this thing to do, that I’m already tired even to hear how to do that…….
lol what is not made in China?
No clue what I did but my washer wouldn't rinse or spin before I put it in diagnostic mode then all of a sudden it started draining and I was thanking God. Started thanking Him even more when it started spinning shortly after. Thank you for the in depth tutorial. God bless
My Frigidaire gas stove is dangerous. My grandchildren have walked by and just brushed up against the knobs in the front of it and the gas was turned on, but it wasn’t turned out enough where the burner would light so all the gas would start leaking out and a couple times. My house was so filled with gas. I was terrified that it was gonna explode or happen again. now before I go to bed every night, I’m checking it sometimes twice if someone goes out into my kitchen. You would think that they would have the controls like they used to be years ago where you have to push the knob in and then turn the gas on and then turn it all the way to the lighter, but it doesn’t work that way anymore..
My issue with this one is, it will do the full cycle and clean clothes but then when it sits on 1 minute it will restart again to 14 minutes. Also when it is just about to end the final spin I get loud almost scratching noise for a couple seconds then takes forever to stop spinning (motor brake) I was told by someone but idk. Anyone have any of these issues?
How do you fix the water level, regardless of the water level mines jump to extra high on normal wash?
I just tried this and it doesn’t stop the tub from swaying side to side. I’ve replaced all 4 rods and even changed the hub. I’ve even taken it all off and did it all again thinking I didn’t put the rods in correctly. I’m out of ideas. Anyone?
When you move the tub side to side, or push it down and release, is it still super bouncy?
Well done sir!! Thanks!!
Let’s first determine what kind of door switch it is plunger style on older models and a magnetic proximity sensor on newer models my turned out to be a missing magnet on the top of door for the proximity switch it was located on the top exterior of the door I personally would check this first if your magnet is missing get a thin powerful magnet to replace the factory supplied ones try both sides of the magnet hope it helps it fixed my new lg unit
My code was hot/ warm . Unbalanced load. I think it's maybe my tub springs, how can I tell? Where do i get them?
I just bought one of these on a massive sale. Super glad that Samsung went to a simple and straight forward design but something that's pleasing to look at.
WTW5057LW0 Have one. Total junk. Never have I seen as much water in mine. Yes I know about the deep water button. Clothes do not circulate in mine. Do not buy!
Thank You! Watching through the video, some swearing, a cut on my arm, and $25 later, I've got a working & heating dryer again. Really wish the heating element was more easily accessible.
The LG WM3670 has been discontinued. What's the #1 non-Speed Queen front load you currently recommend? Thanks!
I found this video real well die for your lack of experience as you mentioned and very informative. Thank you taking the time to put this together.
Get both and use one as a washer and one as a dryer lmao
The number of people that have asked me about buying two of them and putting them side by side is frightening
I'd rather separate washer dryer, you can stagger loads to dry one while another washes. Definetly nice for a small living space though
C8 needed 😭
Appreciate the detailed instructions!
Why does food occasionally freeze in my new side by side Whirlpool refrigerator? I can't seem to adjust the setting right. Haven't changed anything for months. All of a sudden this morning, frozen carrots on upper shelf. Not crowded in fridge.
Great video. I'd just like to see more figures comparing times and cost to a regular dryer. I estimated an 8,000 kWH ROI compared to a basic Maytag 7.0, and that is with my solar rate of .09/kWH. Unfortunately, I have a 28.25 depth limit in my pantry to deal with too. Not to mention that I can service the Maytag myself, the last one lasted 15 years needing one heating element replacement and two minor parts.
I have a Speed Queen we will test directly against soon. The one variable in want to test but really can't is HVAC cost to replace the expelled heat from the vent.
Also as a note, this unit is easily, EASILY serviced other than the sealed system. I know that's a huge part obviously, but any other issues will be easily resolved on this unit and likely at reasonable price.
@@bensappliancesandjunk I got that vibe from your tear down, but the water system, build-up, evaporates, etc. is a little bit of a concern. My vent is also a little compromised, and the safer ventless design really appeals to me. Using my greenworks 60v electric blower on the vents regularly is just great. HVAC cost doesn't worry me, unless there is an air quality concern, our pantry is shared with our living area... until the post children-in-college remodel. Thanks again!
Impossible to get their short water filters and they're atupid expensive to replace. My guys mo longer carry Samsung. A lot of problems with all korean made appliances. Too bad because they're thoughtfully designed.
This is awesome! Providing the thermistor and status LED values is a huge help!! Thanks! 😊👍
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this review! I wonder if this heat pump dryer is going to extend the life of the *clothes* - because of lower peak temperatures?
Theoretically yes that is something that's been argued for heat pump dryers for quite some time that they are far more gentle on the clothes so they will last longer
Amazing! I'm so impressed. My machine looks brand new.😊
UNTIL lil luckyGoldstar ABANDONS ITS FORCED ARBITRATION POLICY LIL LG CAN ROT.. BOYCOTT ALL LG
Can this be used for refrigerator seal?
I can’t understand any of this. I don’t have a computer brain. I have watched this 5 x’s and still can’t get it to spin and drain.
Costco started selling this dryer - although separately. 👍
The answer is no. The moment something breaks on a Samsung fridge 50/50 chance you fix it
3 year old $1600 LG. Complete garbage
Ben is it possible to clean the coils with some steam or water? Without teardown
I think they make AC coil cleaner that can do it for this
@@bensappliancesandjunk thanks, I jsut wasn't sure if there was some kind of drain there. I'd imagine so but I wasn't sure if it just drains back into the tub. I had my first issue the other night, a load of towels litterally took all night to dry. turns out LG had defective seals on the filter baskets and it was letting lint past the trap. Well my coils were covered really bad and after spending 20min with a toothick and boreoscope I've managed to clean it off. Can you suggest any type of cleaner?
The heat pump dryer takes longer by you're not cooking the life out of your clothes.
I found it highly suspect that your moms dryer broke during your video.
Washer. Her shift actuator broke. I mentioned this in the Maytag recalibration code video that came out right after this video.
Sounds like by the time my non-smart, basic, bland appliances die, there will be combo units on v5.0 that are worth buying... Did I mention it only cost me $7 to replace the belt on my dryer drum four years ago?
So a whirlpool pump will work for a maytag washer? Washer Model # MVWB765FW0
I have the same washer. It won't do this at all. Mine was made in 2020 I think. But it won't go into the error codes at all.
Nice hack job on the wireing!!
Good point on the 1 year inverter warranty. The new LG heat pump tower unit has a 10 year warranty on the dryer inverter and compressor. Maybe longer warranty on the combo unit to come??
WHIRLPOOL IS JUNK SHIT
The power requirements are the big win. I have 100A service, and solar, and so avoiding excessive electrical load is such a huge win. I have a gas dryer now and I don't have a 30A outlet for it. This would be perfect.
We bought a new GE french door from home depot, Model # GFE26JYMFS, back in Feb 2021, replacing a Samsung that developed a Freon leak and had other issues. just over 3 years later, its also developed a Freon leak. Was told its too expensive to fix to find a tiny leak and the GE tech filled it with Freon and said see how long it lasts, if it doesn't last long, buy a new fridge. SO bad luck with Samsung, now GE, not sure who i should buy from now, Whirlpool? I like the LG's but hesitant because of the compressor issues, though i have heard those are resolved.
