The best Maytag Washer ever built!!

This is a picture of a Maytag front-load washing machine built in the 1990's.  It's one of the first front load washer designs that came to market and is one of the most dependable and desired washers in Boise Idaho and throughout United States.
There are many many of the washer owners who prefer to keep these washers alive and to squeeze every inch of life that's left out of them, and for good cause.  The sheet metal is thick, the chassis is robust, the electronics are dependable and the main bearing last for years and years.  There are not many things that go wrong with these but occasionally the will need to be repaired.
A repair is not cheap but compared to the cost of a newer washer, that may need to be repaired after 3-4 years, if your lucky, fixing these washers is very practical.
I, personally, have owned this same model of washer for 20 years and it needed one repair in that 20 year span.  Try to get that dependability in a washer now?  It won't happen.  Most of the new appliances, if your lucky, will last about 7 years.  Well, I think we all now the quality of appliances built and imported into the United States - Quality is lacking.  As an Appliance Repair Boise technician at Western Appliance, I have seen my share of bad quality washers, dryers, ovens, and refrigerators.
What can an average Boise consumer like you and me do?   Well, one thing we can do is shop smart.  Don't settle for cheaply made appliances, choose your washer or dryer wisely. 
One of the best washers I have seen in Boise, is the Speed Queen washing machine.  Don't let the name fool you.  This appliance is a Maytag design through and through.  The design is a carryover of the old Maytag washer that is built to last 25 years.  It is robust!  It may be the last washer you may every buy.  The price is not cheap but the quality of this washer will keep away from costly appliance repairs for the rest of your life.    Cheers!

Some Microware Repair Steps for Jenn-Air

The microwave is one of the friendliest appliances in your kitchen. Barely half a century ago, it would have been difficult to imagine cooking without the involvement of an oven or a fire. Now cooking has become so dependent on the microwave for many people that if a snag develops and the microwave stops functioning, it can create a lot of cooking discomfort in the home. It can certainly increase the time you spend in the kitchen cooking and cleaning.

Cut the Power

You can always try to fix your Jenn-Air microwave on your own at home. Disconnect the unit from the power supply before you start attempting a repair. As a second step, make sure to discharge the capacitor of your microwave properly. The capacitor stores reserve power in the unit, so you need to discharge this power beforehand.

Basic Tests

To identify the problem with your Jenn-Air microwave, remove the outer shell by unscrewing it from the back and underneath. Once you have done that, there are three check points that you ought to look at. The first is the door switch, the second the fan motor, and the third is a blown fuse. You can test the door switch with a VOM meter on RX1. If it is found to be faulty, you will have to replace it. You should test both door switches while you are on the job.

Possible Culprits

If the door switch is working fine, you should look at the fan and test whether it has stopped working. If the VOM meter on RX1 shows the needle on infinity, it indicates that the fan motor has developed a defect, and needs to be replaced. The third basic area to be test is the fuse. You can pull out the fuse with a fuse puller, and test both its ends with a VOM meter on RX1. If the results are anything but zero, replace the fuse with another of the same type.
