Everything works....After 5 minutes, no sound. Shut down TV for a day, turn it on...sound. Five minutes later, it loses sound. Had the TV for 4 years with no problem before this.

SOURCE: my 32 inch polaroid tv just shut off

Repaired dead Polaroid TDA-03211C

I fixed a dead Polaroid TDA-03211C for my friends. When it failed it had just been turned on and then it went totally dead. This unit is a little over a year old and out of warranty. When I inspected the power supply it was continuously trying to start up but could not. With a Fluke meter you could see some of the DC output voltages rapidly rising and falling, but never getting to normal levels. I pulled the power supply thinking some of the capacitors were bad. Once I had the power supply out I used the Ohmmeter to check for any open or shorted diodes and/or transistors. To my surprise I found a shorted diode! I figured it would be the capacitors (typical failure in switchers), however they looked OK (not leaking goo or puffed out) and the TV is not that old. The failed diode (sorry I forgot to get the circuit designation) is a HER-304 (near the middle of the board with the cathode lead soldered to a small silver colored heatsink). The HER-304 is a 300 Volt, 3.0 Amp High Efficiency Rectifier in a DO-27 package. The DO-27 package is cylinder shaped with axial leads, 0.375" (9.5mm) long and 0.197" (5mm) in diameter. This diode is for the 20 volt source and is connected to one of the secondaries of the transformer. On eBay I found a vendor selling five (5) HER-305 (400 Volt units, better than the original) for $1.25 plus $7.95 shipping. Also I checked most of the Capacitors with a Sencor Z-meter, all that were check were OK. If a Cap. had another in parallel with it I did not check the other. I removed (un-soldered) the heatsink from the board and then the diode from the heatsink. I put it all back together and Yes, under $10.00 in parts (actually a $0.25 part) and a little time and the TV works again! 24 July 2009.

WARNING!!! WARNING!!! WARNING!!! Switch mode power supplies such as this use and generate voltages at current levels that can be LETHAL!!! If you DO NOT know what you are doing, find someone that does or buy a new TV, it is not worth dying for!!!

SOURCE: Our TV has a loud

Hi
A common problem for these is bad capacitors in the power supply, Remove the back from your Tv and look at the power supply on the left hand side.

You will see roughly around 9 x capacitors that are bulged / domed shaped on top usually these are valued at 3300uf 10V any that have bulged or leaked a brown like substance should be changed.
This will cure the problem as they overheat being sat next to a heatsink that gets very hot!
Try and change them for the same 3300uf but a higher voltage.
Hope this helps

My Magnavox digital converter box shuts itself off every 5 minute

Check that you have not got an auto power off setting on. Check that the aerial connections are good. That the signal is strong from the stations it is picking up. Weak signals can cause the box to shut down.
It the box is very hot when it shuts down, you might have a fault on it.

It sounds like it is overheating. Are the fans all working? If so, try opening the casing and blowing all the dust out with a can of air from Staples/Office Depot. If the fans aren't working you may need to replace them.

Amana AFD2535DEW freezer/refrigerator with intermittent tempurature swings

I had the same issue. It was the relay overload which essentially provides the extra boost to get the compressor going. The switch tries for about 10 seconds before giving up and then retries 3 - 4 minutes later. In the early stages of failure, eventually it will work and the compressor will kick on. But eventually the switch will fail and will just cycle through the 10 second attempt every 3 to 4 minutes. The part is about $35 - part number 67005560.

Rear projection TV! HELP!

Try looking over the tuner solder joints as well as the pins where Input board feeds to the singal board. Sounds like a solder issue or a weak capacitor. Check the solder with a good quality magnifying glass. Let me know how you make out and I will try to help you through the process to nail it down.
