If you have a garbage disposal, there is a plug in the dishwasher that has to be removed for the washer to drain.

Sounds like movement on the shaft. Grab the end of the shaft with grips and pull it towards you. Then put the gear on without pushing it back in. Here is a parts schematic, but lots of parts are obsolete. I could do with one of these myself for making bread! https://www.ereplacementparts.com/kitchenaid-k5a-mixer-parts-c-114958_114959_290214.html ..

The problem seems to be the loosening of the screws that hold the interior stainless steel skin to the door frame--not the latch.

With the door in the open position you should find a total of twelve screws (5 on each side and 2 on top at each side of the latch). The screws have a particular type of head which may require a trip to the hardware (its a $1,000 dishwasher take the time to get the right screwdriver). They are called TORX screws the size on my dishwasher was a T 15. These type of screw heads were designed to fit automated torque drivers at the factory that set the screws to the proper tension. So some care should be given when you retighten them. Turn until the screw is snug and there no movement of the inner door skin but don't over tighten. Giving it that extra 1/4 turn can be enough to strip the screw out and create a bigger problem.

Yes--you shouldn't have to be doing this to a KitchenAid appliance that cost this much--but I suspect that this will become a feature of periodic maintenance. The heating and cooling generates enough movement that overtime these screws work themselves out. My wife who was the once to make the right diagnosis noticed that the screws at the bottom were almost entirely out.

This will probably need either a new thermal fuse on the field windings or a new motor.

Turn off propane. Disconnect propane tank from barbecue. Open burner valves for about 20 seconds. Close valves. Reattach propane tank. Slowly open propane tank valve. Turn on burner and ignite

May be you need to replace the igniter. The igniter is easy to break if it is used for a long time or if it is not used for a long time. My grill also replaced the igniter and the burners in June, they are all rusted, i bought them at this online store and the quality is pretty good grillpartsreplacement.com/collections/kitchen-aid-720-0745b-gas-grill-replacement-parts-and-accessories

Do you have a flame sensor ? As it sounds like the flame sensor is not clean . Or its cracked and not sending a signal back to the spark module . I would also check the connetions are clean and tight .

MOST OF THEM NEED PUSHED IN TO BE ABLE TO ROTATE THEM

Here is the full parts schematic. It does have a timer. Put 'defrost'' into the search box. It appears to use a bi-metal strip. https://www.partswarehouse.com/KitchenAid-KSRG25FTST01-Refrigerator-s/341367.htm ..

This is an ice freeze up in the mechanical release mechanism. Leave the door open for a few minutes. But if you are impatient like me, warm the area with a hair drier for about 20 - 30 seconds, and you should be good-to-go.

My first inclination, is the noise was the brushes burning out, If you over did it, you may have burned out the motor, then it "is" trash. "If" it is just the brushes, that can be fixed, take it to your local appliance repair guy to have it checked.

It works on a siphoning system. Usually you can pull the top dome part off. If that doesn't work, run hot tater in from the hole in the bottom. There shouldn't be anything inside it.

Remove the cover. Undo the fixing screws, disconnect the power and remove it. videos here https://www.google.com/search?q=kbrs22kg+evaporator+fan+replacement ..

did you check the fan motor? if so maybe compessor is bad?

TAPE MIGHT WORK

Hello Wittwer,

I understand that you are having a problem with your head locking in the down position. This is a common problem when the set screw that holds the latch in place is missing. On the right side of the base up next to where the lock is you will notice a whole that has threads make sure that the set screw is there if not you will need to order a new one. Here is a link to sears parts direct where you can purchase a new set screw they cost $4.62.

Check everything you have done for a mistake, the pin through the planetary, the pin through the fuse gear and the pin in the main shaft that drives the bevel gear. That's the gear that pinion gear on the fuse gear shaft mates with. After that you are left with a fuse gear fault. I am assuming that the motor is turning at normal speeds and not somehow binding up, no reason why it should as motor stays in one piece during gear changing procedure.

Eventually you will conclude that the cycle timer is defective.
