Kenmore 110.78932790 Had a repair guy over he said the motor was bad even thow it is running.I checked continuity on all the parts replaced the motor witch he said the switch on motor is bad.It still does not heat.When you push the start button as long as you hold it the drum turns but the igniter does not do any thing .now I have a new motor and that did not do it thanks to the professional guy.Can anyone help. Bob P.S. they won,t stand behind there diagnosis either so I stopped the check.

I have the same problem with my Kenmore Elite. The repairman told me it needs a new motor and he will order it today. He is charging me for $325.00 for parts and labor. But, when I read some of the posted problem here I might need a heat board. Please advise! Thank you for your help and I wish I found your website before I called the repairman.

Thanks,

Len

Bob, glad you stopped the check, sounds like you need a even heat board. If you press and hold the start button the unit will run. As soon as you release it it stops. Tell the pro you would like a refund. Your part number is 3402605. The board is easy to replace. check out the pic. Catriver

I'd guess the water temperature sensor switch is bad. Simple and relatively inexpensive to replace. If you have the ability and tools, I can tell you how to do in just a few steps.

Timer ticking and heating element activating when dryer is off

One thing to check is if the heater is shorted to frame.Remove the wires and do the checking. If that is fine then the only way the heat can come on at all is IF the motor is running. So check between terminals one and 2 for continuity with the motor NOT running. If you get a reading then your motors cent switch is stuck. You can sometimes oil the springloaded sliding switch but most times the springs have broke on it.

DIRTY START switch or the motor is locked up, breaker off ! remove motor from tank body and see if the motor will turn over if it does could be the switch or the motor is shorted witch there is no fix but a new or rebuilt motor. search your area for your local pool pump motor repair guy with free testing..

It would be worth checking if there is a relay in the system as this may have failed in the on position. I would also check the blower switch as this may have failed on.

I have a 1992 dodge shadow.but the windshield wipers isn't working.I checked the motor is well,the terminal voltage is 12V,how can I continu to repair the 1992 dodge shadow's windshield wipers?

You posting is slightly confusing but I gather your windshield wipers stopped working.
The repair method is as follows;
) Check the fuse.
) Check the wiper motor. Turn the wipers on and listen for the hum of the motor.

If you hear the hum then the linkage has probably come loose. You will have to take the covers off
to get to the linkage for the wiper. You can either repair the parts, get salvage yard parts or replace with new part$.

If you do not hear the motor hum then you should verify electricity is getting to the motor. A simple
voltmeter can be used. If the motor is bad you can replace it. Call some auto supply stores for after-market motors or call salvage yards for parts.

Sharp R-1874 shuts off after 59 seconds

I had the same problem. Turned out to be the micro switch and damper motor. I replaced both myself and fixed the problem for less than $40.00. The best advice I got was replace the switch, reconnect the motor and make sure the motor runs through a damper door cycle. It didn't run, even though it showed continuity and had power, so I replaced the motor which solved the problem. The micro switch which is activated by the cam on the damper motor has to be cycled within one minute, or the unit shuts itself off. The damper motor on my model R-1870 is found in the right rear section of the assembly when facing it. You have to remove the unit, and remove the outer casing to get to it. The damper is a simple sheet metal door, activated by the motor, and the switch mounts at the top of the motor and is activated by the same cam that activates the door.
