Trashpicked $600 LG dishwasher fixed with simple repair!

[@MikeTheMic]

I always use the "what's the worst that can happen?" with this situation, you'd be out the parts cost (rather minimal) and use your current working (older) dishwasher. Best case scenario you have a much newer ss dishwasher. I got into property development and occasionally attempt stuff out of my comfort zone. If it's a few hundred dollars worth of material I figure worst case I'm out a few hundred but if it saves me a couple thousand in labour, totally worth it. Sometimes I surprise myself on how well the project turn out.

[@FrugalRepair]

Those are great thoughts. Good to hear your trying new things and stretching your comfort zone!

[@sjn7220]

Score! I agree, the info you can find on KZbin is amazing. I recently replaced my busted garage door torsion spring for $30, saving at least a $300 service call by seeing how it's done on KZbin.

[@FrugalRepair]

Great fix! Thanks for sharing. Yes, so much great information out there.

[@sjn7220]

Well, here in silicon valley they won't show up for less than $300 and I'm sure he would have tried to up sell me to replace every other part too. It really wasn't that hard really. Bought the spring from home depot (easy return just in case) and took less than an hour. It even came with 2 bars to undo the spring tension.

[@MrKabDrivr]

At last, a channel adressing a very important topic: the extreme carelessness with which we just discard items that are repairable. There was a time when we would make stuff last as long as possible. Now, unfortunately, it's "use it then throw it"... That and programmed obsolescence... Slowly eating up all of our natural resources.. Thank you for this, sir!... And BTW: a Mr. Coffee coffee maker that has it's pilot lamp on showing it's got juice, but the electronic display doesn't turn on and, of course, the machine does not make coffee. Heater not turning on either. Have any idea? I haven't opened it up, yet, so I have no idea what's wrong with it. It was fine one minute and then it just stopped working... And thanks again! We need more shows like yours to emphasize the importance of repairing instead of sending to landfill...

[@FrugalRepair]

Thank you for your encouragement! Regarding the coffee maker, is the control board getting the correct voltage? Or any voltage?

[@Ky-lb5ts]

[@williamdegnan4718]

If it were my dishwasher, I would have tried to save $45, by melting the crack closed with a soldering iron. Otherwise, hot deal! Burned-out dryer elements can be shortened, sometimes. Their squeeky bearings can be rotated 90°. In our case, 3 times over 30 years. Most people lack the skill to troubleshoot, let alone repair anything. That includes garden hoses. I don't discard garden hoses until they are too short to have any practical use.

[@FrugalRepair]

Thanks! I don’t know if I would trust the melting technique to hold the water pressure. Have you done something like that before?

[@williamdegnan4718]

@@FrugalRepair Yes, if you get the plastic hot enough to reflow. You would need to revise the crack - inside and out. But, it depends on where you want to spend $45. For some people it is a small price for peace of mind. For me, it is money - needed elsewhere.

Someone dumped a Washer Dryer outside my flat! The door hinge was broken and the lock was dead! I replaced them for £8! ($10) and it worked great! I also cleaned all the seals and pump and got a good year out of it! The bearings disintegrated and sadly wrote it off. But the door, hinges, seal and lock were stripped out before disposal and fitted onto my friends identical model which had been leaking! You are correct - every job should be looked at to establish if it Really is worth doing! It can be a real can of worms with bad decisions! Great vid as always!

[@thesilentobserver93]

I don't come from a family of money. So I've always been a fan of buying used or refurbished things, and fixing my own things when they fail. Recently we bought a DLP projector on eBay for $50, as we really wanted a nice size screen, but didn't want to shell out the amount of money required for it had we gone for a TV. We really don't care that much about resolution, so long as we can enjoy what we are watching. The projector was missing two key items: a remote, and a power cable. Luckily, the power cable is the same kind that is used by a standard ATX power supply, so I had a spare. The remote was an additional $25 to buy brand new, aftermarket. All went well, aside from having to purchase an HDMI audio extractor from Best Buy, as I didn't realize just how bad the audio output of this projector would be, and my stereo doesn't have and HDMI passthrough. And then, less than a week later, dead pixels started showing up on the screen. At this point I'd already paid for it, and wasn't going to pay the return shipping to send it back, so I decided to take matters into my own hands. What was happening was that the DLP chip, a chip covered in tiny moving mirrors in order to manipulate light to create an image, was failing. So I went ahead and opened it up, just to see if I could as I wasn't sure. When I finally gained access to the chip, I noticed that the thermal paste sitting between the heatsink and chip had dried up and become brittle. So I took the chip out, and went online to order a replacement that I had found on eBay for $85. At this point the part cost more than the entire projector, but it was either spend more money and have a working projector, or lose the initial $75 (projector and remote) with nothing to show for it. After putting the replacement chip in with some new, higher quality, thermal paste, the projector works again. It currently sits on a shelf behind our couch, and has become the living room TV, projecting a 73" image on a $52 screen that I bought used on Amazon. I did sell a couple of items that I had, which had no use to me, which took the $85 I spent, and brought the loss down to $5. So that left me with a grand total of $177 spent on the entire setup, including the HDMI audio extractor. I can't find a similar sized TV in my area for that price (closest one is 111 miles from me, which would set me back quite a bit in gas to pick up), and a new TV would set me back a lot more.

[@FrugalRepair]

Thanks for sharing! Great stuff.

Congratulations on a great save and repair - you kept a new dishwasher out of the bone yard and passed on your working unit to someone else. I had a big repair myself recently on my 8 year old LG Wave Force clothes washer. I replaced the washer top that has rusted out around the bleach dispenser for the second time (first time was covered under an extended warranty in 2014). It was a pretty big job and I was lucky the top was still available from Amazon, about $110. The first time around the top lasted about 3 years before rusting; this time it was about 5 years. Not quite as bad and this time I caught it before it started dropping rusty bits into the wash, but this time the top had actually rusted a lot around the top of the washer where the top meets the tub - that didn't happen on the first go round. Come on LG, you got to do better than this! Needless to say I am wiping that rim around the tub dry after every wash.

[@FrugalRepair]

@@FrugalRepair It was actually a dishwasher. The motor was bad, and i replaced it for $50.00. (A rebuilt motor). I got a free frig. that just stopped working. I purchased the defrost module for $90.00, and everything started to work again. When the frig is in the Defrost mode, the compressor shuts off for a pre-programmed amount of time. The bad timer module kept the frig compressor from turning on again. Now I have a very nice frig with ice & water in the door, a 1500.00 frig for $90. bucks and a case for beer for my friend to help me haul it home.

I went to test cycle it, but none of the lights on the panel would work. closer look I see all the buttons under the protective film are cracked. I tested the power under the dishwasher and there is power, but nothing is going to the panel. I have no idea why this is not working so I am going to end up replacing it.

One thing you can bet is that there is no REAL 300 grade stainless steel on the door or ANY appliance. If you can put a magnet on it and it attracts, it is 400+ stainless which is a mild stainless steel with regular steel mixed in so it can RUST!! You do NOT need to use stainless steel cleaner on this as this steel is covered in a thick clear polyurethane coating, so you are only putting on an expensive cleaner you do not need to use. Just use a mild soapy cleaner and wipe dry.

[@FrugalRepair]

Yeah, I was surprised too. They were definitely friendly in answering my questions. It wouldn’t be under warranty technically because they were at fault by letting the water freeze in the kitchen.
