1.Check to see if the washer is overloaded. Modern washing machines have automatic shut-off devices for out-of-balance loads. Try removing some of the clothes out of the washer and restart it. Check to make sure the lid closes properly and that the lid switch clicks when the lid is closed. If the lid switch does not click, then the switch may need to be replaced or the lid may be bent. If the washing machine still does not spin, go to Step 2. Make sure the water is draining properly. If the water does not drain out, then it could cause the washing machine not to spin. Check all the drain hoses for any clogs or kinks. This is easily done by disconnecting the drain hoses and doing a visual check for clogs or kinks
3.Check to see if any belts have came off or are loose. Unplug the washer and pull it away from the wall. Use the screwdrivers to remove the back panel. Visually check for any broken or loose belts. Replace any loose or broken belts.
4. While the back panel is off, visually check for any loose or missing bolts on the motor or drum. If any are missing or loose, tighten them and replace the ones that are missing.
5. If everything has checked out to this point, then the water level switch could be bad or the water level hose could be clogged. Remove the front panel of the washer and locate the clear tube going from the tub to the water level switch. If lint or debris has gotten into the water level hose, then the washer may not spin fast. Clean the debris from the hose by blowing on the hose or tapping it on the side. To check the water level switch, go to the back of the washer and locate the back end of the water level hose. Use the voltmeter to check to see if the water level switch is getting any power.
6.If the washing machine still doesn't spin fast enough or doesn't spin at all, then it is time to call in a professional washing machine repairman.

    We moved our Kitchenaid refrigerator down the steps to the basement using a dolly and now its running constantly.

    I can't think of any reason moving it would cause that problem. How are your door seals? Are both fans(evaporator fan in freezer and condenser fan at compressor)working? Did you give it 24 hours for temps to stabilize?

    The Tempertuer get hight when i drive slowly

    When moving slowly, there is not much air flow through the radiator, an electric fan should switch on and draw air through the radiator when the car is moving slow. Check the fan is working, could be the fan switch that is not working, to prove the switch bridge the wires on the switch and see if the fan comes on, (Ignition on). Check for a live feed at the fan, check the fuse.

    Have you checked the reverse switch on the fan? If this is an older fan and the reverse switch has not been used much, it can lose contact and the fan will not work. Try moving the reverse switch up and down vigorously (while pushing in) a couple dozen times and see if the fan does not work. If it does, spray a little contact cleaner in the switch (from the wiring side) and that should take care of it.

    Also, the wiring may have come loose somewhere in the switch housing if you ever pulled on the canopy wires for any reason.

    Hampton Bay ceiling fan - will not reverse

    It sounds like the direction switch has a broken connection on the "reverse" side.  Should be an easy fix (but you might need a soldering iron).
