Hi Rick,

I found your answer to another person's problem with the LG washer/dryer not turning on. We have the same problem. My husband found a piece of plastic near one set of the fuses that looks warped - like it got too hot. Is there any advice you can give? It's a piece next to the box by the main power cord with a metal coil.

    Hi Rick,



    I found your answer to another person's problem with the LG washer/dryer not turning on. We have the same problem. My husband found a piece of plastic in the "Electrical Noise Filter" that looks warped, like it got too hot. Could this be a problem? We tested the power as this site recommended but are inconclusive.http://appliantology.org/blog/1/entry-70...

SOURCE: I have an LG WM0642HW washer. After a wash cycle

sounds like a loose connection either going to the main control board or a break in your power cord or the main harness has a fault in one of the connection locations to the main control the control is located under the upper control area this is also the schematic for your machine showing how to access the control area http://c.searspartsdirect.com/lis_png/PLDM/K0810327-00001.png this repair will require you to break out the multimeter if you are unable to visually see any misconnection I await your reply for any further questions Thanks Rick
p.s there is also a relay located on the power board and if you dont find any issue with the wiring it may just be the relay that is hooked on to the main control board as well. I await your reply

I have a roper washer 5 years old and it won't drain or turn on now it was working fine yesterday ive unplugged replugged pulled out all the clothes checked power supply and hoses what now?
I looked up your model number. You particular machine allows for wash with the lid open. You nothing happens. On that case I would check the motor capacitor.

My keurig won't even turn on. We unplugged and replugged but still nothing. The outlet does work, so don't know what to do. Is there a fuse or something simple that I could try. The Keurig is about...
Hi,

The problem is often that the machine develops a leak in the hose that is rightover the transformer...the water drips onto the transformer and kills that...then you have no power to run the machine.

Here is a tip that I wrote about this problem...

My printer will not turn on it worked yesterday and i've done nothing different. could it be the "brick"?
Try to unplug the power adapter from the printer.

Check if it's warm or cold. It could be a defective power adapter issue. Unplug and replug the power cord into the power outlet to reset it. Bypass any surge devices or power strips. Replug the power adapter into the printer. The printer should automatically turn on, otherwise press Power button.
If problem continues, then it could be a faulty power adapter problem. I'd suggest you to contact Lexmark technical support for additional assistance.

Wii is dead
1. push the reset button and if that doesn't work unplug all cords and memory cards (including sd) from wii and unplug av from the wii and the outlet in wall. Wait 2-3 min or unplug the wii overnight and The trick i use was to literally smack the power supply on the ground and plug it back in. It seemed to work for a few weeks, until you buy a new power cord Don't call Nintendo unless you've got some money. it'll be $82 bucks.

The Wii console is not powering up at all.
Hi there, this is a power board failure. It seems to be a manufacturing error considering the fact that, this Wii is only 2 months old. i would excercise the warranty if possible and return for exchange. this is a defective unit.

You first need to rplace the outlet if it sparks where the surge protector is plugged in as it should not spark for any reason. then you need to make sure thast its not the outlet causing your problem by running an long extensition corn or moving the set to a differant outlet.
