I have a model 2216w which is less than one year old that keeps giving false colours once my system starts up i have to tap it to get it to straighten out

no make , model or year mentioned so , guessing it is a car less than 10 years old , run the fault codes to find the problem area

What year and model?Could be the temperature sender giving the computer a false reading.

There are usually one or two capacitors that open in the power supply, and in some cases they bulge at the top making it easier to spot.

When self adding freon after it leaks out you get air trapped in the system. After adding freon a couple of times the air expands not leaving room for the needed freon. To continue adding freon with air tapped will knock the compressor out pretty quickly, there's not enough room for both & the air is keeping the freon from being able to cool properly give the false indication of being low on freon. The freon you are adding has the dye added to assist in finding the leak since freon does not evaporate nor dissipate it its being leaked out. A black light will assist locating the leak. The best thing is to have the unit checked & serviced by a mechanic...he'll charge about $ 150.00 to check for leaks, remove the old freon...his machine will tell him how much air its trapped in the system by how little freon is removed. For the service fee he will replace valves & gaskets, where needed, correcting most leaks. After sucking the system down & recharging the problem should be corrected.

It is in the mixer system,you may have put in repair kits with new springs,diaphrams,and o-rings or seals(washers).

A flickering screen with pink colour is a sign of a CCFL lamp problem.
The CCFL lamp is a mini fluro tube and it provides the back-lighting, it is definitely faulty and about to fail completely.
You need to get it repaired while it is still under warranty.

you have a bad control board. if its less than a year old it should be under warranty still. if its over a year the board is fairly easy to replace yourself. you can look up the part at partsdirect.com and if you'll give me a complete model number I'll give you step by step instructions for replacing it. thanks peyton

BILL,

No, Fuji did not give a discount on my replacement camera, but i believe i found it on sale somewhere for less than I paid for the same model the year before..looking at my Fuji Finepix A500 (#2) here at the desk as I'm typing this.. 2 years old and no problems... $149.00..........

I believe the problem with the first camera was due to an over exposure to sand and salt air during a two week vacation in Florida... The lines started the last night there.... its death was noted by the lens failing to retract fully when turned off... then no movement at all...... hope this helped..... buy one that takes decent pictures, inexpensive, keep it clean, and just replace it if it breaks!!!!!

Possibly this will help. I have installed two1680x1050 LCD screens this past year: your 2216W model on a new PC, and a similar model from another maker on my wife's older HP PC.

Mine worked at the native resolution, my wife's did not. Difference: the age of the computer's (actually Windows XP's) native software for monitors. I went to Control Panel, Display, Advanced, and slid the left-hand slider control to view the various resolutions available. On the newer computer, the highest resolution choice was 1680x1050. On the older computer, the choice was not given. The choices stopped somewhere areound 1270 by 1080.

Solution was to download the newer driver from (as I recall) the computer manufacturer's website, using their regular download/update channel. That gave my wife's older computer the necessary top-end resolution. It was not something the monitor manufacturer could have fixed.

Hello rpmhmmjuju
Welcome to fixya.
Iam Huuum

You said,the motor on our Kenmore dishwasher keeps sticking. I can start it and it may do 3 or 4 loads then stick again.


First try to throw the breaker of for 5 minutes and then on and see if that resets the system.

But more than likely its a bad switch in the control panel
that is intermittently failing.
That is a tough call . You need to call service!

HOW old is the dishwasher?

Here is a report I read recently!
Repair or replace?

When to pull the plug on your old dishwasher
It nearly always makes sense to undertake simple do-it-yourself repairs,
such as replacing a gasket on a dishwasher.

Typically, you'll also find a troubleshooting section for more-serious problems
in the owner's manual.

Should you pay for a repair or buy a new model?
The answer depends mostly on the age of your dishwasher,
how much you bought it for,and the cost of the repair.

Follow these guidelines:

When a repair makes sense.

If your refrigerator is under warranty or less than four years old
paying for a repair makes sense.
Note that dishwasher under warranty might require service from a factory-authorized technician;
readers have found them on a par with independent repairers.

When a repair might be a wise choice.

If your dishwasher is out of warranty and is four to seven years old,
it might make sense to pay for a repair. Customers generally pay $100 to $200 for a repair.
But you might want to buy a new model even at this stage,
given that today's models are quieter and have added features.
Higher energy efficiency is another plus: Energy Star-qualified models made after April 28, 2008,
are 43 percent more efficient than conventional models built before 2001 and 56 percent
more efficient than those built before 1993.

When it pays to replace.

The repair costs more than half the price of a comparable new dishwasher.
Data also shows that it doesn't pay to fix a less-expensive dishwasher
seven or more years old .

Thanks to better recycling programs, less than 10 percent
of a dishwasher you replace is likely to end up in a landfill.
