I have just moved house and my dishwashwer is Bendix 12. Unfotrunately the markings on the setting control have worn away.Would it be possible to mail me a copy of the settings diagram. Yours, Gerry Dwyer.

Yes, very fixable.

Worn rear bearing.
Worn drum slides which are at the front of the drum and made of oiled felt.

When you are drying clothes the drum is moving up and then thumping down. Open the door, can you move the drum up and down?

If you have the appliance manufacturer and model number, check out www.appliancepartspros.com This is my Go-To place for appliance parts and information.

Bendix whirring . not engaging. Weak battery can cause that to happen. Bendix spring broken... Bendix gear teeth worn... Bendix spiral on shaft dirty. Remove starter from car and have a look at the Bendix . If the sliding gear on the shaft is worn ,,replace it. Make sure that the return spring is not broken and make sure that it slides easily along the spiral grooves. Check the starter ring also. You can use a torch to see that. It`s not likely that it will be too bad but it is wise to inspect it. It usually wears in three places. Now it is possible that the starter coils are going.. I would put in a reconditioned unit, I have done many times. I hope this helps you, Kindest regards. Jim Doolan..

Does your starter fully retract when disengaging? Your problem may be one of geometry if the starter is slightly out of position it will rub on the flywheel, or the Bendix gear isn't fully retracting.Try hitting the starter with a mallet to see if the Bendix gear pops back out fully after you start your car.

You need to provide a model number in order to look over the parts list and see what type of auto damper your model has. There are ways to test an auto damper to see if it opens and close properly. An auto damper can be electrical or mechanical. Kenmore model numbers look like this example=> 321.2345789 and can be found artound the fresh food compartment door frame.

1 Turn power off to refrigerator.
2 Open the fresh food sections door and remove all items on top shelf.
3 Adjust the fresh food control to its coldest position.
4 Remove the light shield by pulling down on the back corners of the cover and then slide the cover forward.
5 Remove the edge sealing device, radiant shield supporting screws at the back bottom center of the control housing mounting screw at back, bottom center of the control housing. Slide the control housing to the right and lower the housing.
6 Disconnect the temperature control housing from electric quick disconnect.
7 Remove the temperature control housing from the refrigerator and then place on a
flat work surface.
8 Remove the auto damper control rod retainer, control rod and the slide control
gear from the auto damper control.
9 Now turn the control housing over.
10 Remove the two auto damper mounting screws, then remove the auto damper from the control housing.
11 Mark the auto damper rod about 1/4 in. from and away from the housing.
12 Uncoil the auto damper capillary tube at about 4 in.'s
13 Submerge into a glass of ice (not water). then watch for door to move to the closed
position.
14 Remove from ice and warm capillary tube with your hand. Then watch door for an opposite reaction.
15 If no movement is detected, replace the control. 61005971 Damper Control Assembly
The above is only a demostration of how to test a refrigerator with an auto that uses a capillary tube to open and close the damper. Your refrigerator will need to be identified by the correct model number to let you know what type of auto damper your model has, Post your model number and I will tell you what you will need to test yours, Thanks Sea Breeze

The keyway and or the dot on the crank should be line at 12 oclock. You will see a point on the oil pump housing to go by. On the camshaft the pointer will be at 12 oclock also. Use the O on the camshaft to the top at mark. Be sure to look at the dist. roter to make sure that it is pointing at the #1 spark plug wire. I could get 180 out of time. If you do it right it should start up right away. then you can use a timing light to finish it.

if i followed u wel, the starter keeps spinning but not engaging the fly-wheel, the solenoid is not funtional or improperly connected. Check it out.

This can have several causes, possibly one or both of the bearings have worn out. They may just have to be replaced. Without knowing the model,and make there are a few other possibilities.

The housing holding the bearing in place could have worn away, causing the spindle to move back and forth.

There is one other option less likely though, the outer bearing may be held in by a snap ring. If that has gone missing for some reason the spindle could have your symptoms.

If when scranking the engine, the engine do'se not turn. The possible cause's are; the flywheel teeth are worn down or the start motor bendix is not moving into the engaged possition. You need to investigate these solution to rule them out.

Well well well - Welcome to the Bendix Club!

Here is the secret!

Push all 4 buttons in!

Turn on the Cold water only!

Set the first dial on 3 dots before the GREEN #12

Set the second dial to snow or cold

Set the third dial to one dot after the green 7....

If this doesnt work...the something is wrong with the machine!
