A Whirlpool front-load washer stops mid-cycle and the display shows a code like F5E2, F7E1, F8E1 or F9E1 — two letters, two numbers, and no explanation. Whirlpool’s F&E codes are actually one of the more honest error systems out there: the F number points to the system that failed, the E number narrows down how. Here is what the common …
LG Refrigerator rF Code: Evaporator Fan Error
An LG refrigerator flashes rF on the display (some models show it as Er rF), the fresh-food side starts warming, and you are left wondering whether the whole fridge is on its way out. It usually is not. The rF code is LG telling you one specific part isn’t doing its job, and it is one of the more fixable …
LG Washer IE Code: Why It Won’t Fill and What It Takes to Fix
IE on an LG washer is a water inlet error — and like most LG codes, it runs on a clock. Per LG’s service documentation, the washer expects to reach its correct water level within about 8 minutes of opening the fill valves, and the full preset level within 25 minutes. Miss either window and the cycle stops with IE …
Refrigerator Sealed System: Compressor & Refrigerant
Both the fridge and the freezer are warm. The compressor is either dead silent, clicking as it tries to start, or running hot and never getting cold. When nothing in the box is cooling, the problem is usually the sealed system, and that is a different kind of repair from a fan or a pump. What you’ll notice The whole …
Refrigerator Not Cooling: Fan Motor
The fridge section is warm, the milk is turning, but the freezer is still holding ice. Or the whole unit is drifting warm even though you can hear the compressor running. A refrigerator that runs but won’t cool is one of the calls we get most across the Denver Metro, and the fan motors are usually the reason. What you’ll …
Dishwasher Not Cleaning: Pump & Spray
You run a full cycle and the dishes come out gritty, filmed, or still dirty, so you end up rinsing everything by hand anyway. Or you open the door to standing water sitting in the bottom. Both are common dishwasher calls across the Denver Metro, and both usually trace back to one of the two pumps that do the real …
Washer Won’t Drain: The Drain Pump
The cycle ends, you open the washer, and the drum is still full of water with your clothes sitting soaked at the bottom. Or it stops partway and won’t spin because the water never left. A washer that will not drain is one of the most common calls we get across the Denver Metro, and it almost always comes down …
Dryer Making Loud Noise: Worn Rollers & Idler
A dryer that has always run quietly starts thumping, rumbling, grinding, or squealing, and every load sounds worse than the last. It still tumbles and still dries, so it is easy to put off, but that noise is a wear part telling you it is near the end. Across the Denver Metro this is one of our most common dryer …
Dryer Won’t Heat: Heating Element & Fuse
Your dryer starts, the drum turns, the cycle runs its full time, and the clothes come out cold and still damp. Nothing looks broken, but nothing is getting dry. This is one of the most common calls we get across the Denver Metro, and it almost always comes down to a heating circuit that has quietly failed. What you’ll notice …
GE Dishwasher FTD / F5 / F144: Won’t Drain — or Just Thinks It Won’t
A GE dishwasher that stops mid-cycle with “FTD” on the display — short for Failure to Drain — or with F5 / F144 fault codes active looks like a classic drain problem: water in the tub, cycle won’t finish, sometimes won’t start at all. Here is the part almost nobody tells you: on a whole generation of GE-family machines, this …
