Magic Chef Recent Questions, Troubleshooting Help & Support

Hello there,

How many techies does it take to change a light bulb (without a hammer)?

There is a tiny screw holding the lens cover in place. Once removed, the lens will come off and you can access the bulb.

Hope this helped

Thanks for using FixYa

problem: Check the Ventilation: Ensure that the dryer's exhaust vent is not blocked or obstructed. Proper ventilation is crucial for efficient drying and preventing overheating. Clear any lint buildup or debris from the vent. Overheating Protection: The dryer may be shutting off due to overheating. Check if the unit feels excessively hot during operation. If it does, the thermal fuse or thermostat might be tripping. These safety features prevent the dryer from overheating. If they are faulty, the dryer will shut down. You may need to replace them. Load Size and Type: Make sure you're not overloading the dryer. Excessive load can strain the motor and cause it to shut off. Also, consider the fabric type. Delicate fabrics might trigger the safety features if the heat is too high. Power Supply and Cord: Confirm that the dryer is properly plugged into a grounded outlet. Check the power cord for any damage or loose connections. Avoid using extension cords, as they can affect performance. Timer and Settings: Verify that the timer is set correctly. If the timer runs out, the dryer will stop. Also, ensure you've selected the appropriate heat setting (low, medium, or high) based on the fabric type. User Manual: Refer to the user manual for detailed instructions on operating and troubleshooting your dryer. If the issue persists after checking these points, consider contacting Magic Chef Customer Service at 1-888-775-0202 for further assistance.

This says it has two. One is always on the heater box, the other one is described as 'Air Exhaust Thermal Breaker', so would suggest just after the heater box and before the drum. https://www.washerpartsworld.com/brands/magic-chef/mcsdry35w It may also have one that looks like this. Test all the parts with a multimeter, don't blindly replace them.. https://www.partselect.com/PS11741460-Whirlpool-WP3392519-Dryer-Thermal-Fuse.htm?SourceCode=18 ..

if you are making soot you are making carbon monoxide which can be deadly call someone sooner rather then later

There are a number of reasons a refrigerator does not cool. Make sure that the condenser fins are clean. Is the passage from the freezer side blocked not letting the cold air enter? Has the thermostat been turned down? May be low on freon. This site may help you. https://www.familyhandyman.com/project/how-to-repair-a-refrigerator/

I put this answer in the comments but re-posting here because I didn't know what I was doing : ) The Magic Chef 2.1 cu ft Portable washer manual says that its a door malfunction and the solution is to open and close the door. That did not work for me so if you're having the same issue that I am it may be that your washer is not level. I had placed mine on top of a few folded throw rugs to stifle noise (I live in an apt, on the second floor) and the rugs were uneven. As soon as i adjusted them, the washer began to work again. I hope this helps.

Check the lid switch assembly: If the lid switch assembly is defective, the washer will not spin. To test the lid switch for continuity, use a multimeter. If the lid switch does not have continuity, replace it. Inspect the drive belt: If the drive belt is broken or loose, the washer will not spin. Inspect the drive belt for signs of wear or damage. If the belt is damaged, replace it. Examine the motor coupling: The motor coupling connects the motor to the transmission. If it is broken, the washer will not spin. Inspect the motor coupling for signs of wear or damage. If it is damaged, replace it. Check the clutch assembly: The clutch assembly engages and disengages the transmission with the tub during the spin cycle. If it is worn or damaged, it may prevent the washer from spinning. Inspect the clutch assembly for signs of wear or damage and replace it if necessary. If these troubleshooting steps do not lead to resolution, you may have to resort to a professional repair service.

Magic Chef mcbr415s compressor is hot and its not cooling

It sounds like your Magic Chef refrigerator is experiencing a cooling issue. The fact that the compressor is running constantly and getting hot suggests that it is working overtime to try and cool the fridge, but it's not able to achieve the desired temperature.

First, check to see if the temperature controls are set correctly. If they are set too high, this can cause the compressor to run constantly. Additionally, make sure the fridge is not overfilled, as this can restrict air flow and prevent proper cooling.

If those checks don't resolve the issue, it's possible that the power outage may have caused damage to the compressor or other components. In this case, you may need to have a professional technician take a look at the fridge to diagnose and repair the problem.

Unfortunately, if you are unable to access the condenser coils, it may be difficult to troubleshoot the issue yourself. You may need to contact a technician for assistance

Ice build up in the freezer is usually caused by one of these problems. You may have an outside air leak from one of the door gaskets. Check the gaskets for proper seal and any cuts or pieces missing. Second possible problem may be your refrigerator is not self defrosting as it should. Cause of this could be a burned out defrost heater. With a bad defrost system, you normally will start to have your fresh food temps start to increase over time( about a week) and some food spoilage.

could not find a wiring diagram specifically for the Pro Chef AH-798HL convection oven online. However, here are some general steps to follow to help you wire your oven correctly:

1. Turn off the power supply to the oven before wiring it to prevent electrical shock or damage.
2. Connect the power supply wires to the power terminal block located on the back of the oven. Make sure to connect the black or red wire to the black or red terminal and the white wire to the white terminal. If there is a green or bare wire, connect it to the green grounding screw.
3. Locate the oven's thermostat and connect its wires to the oven's heating elements. The thermostat is usually located on the back of the oven, near the bottom. The heating elements are located inside the oven cavity.
4. Connect the oven's control panel to the thermostat. The control panel is usually located on the front of the oven and may have several wires connecting it to the thermostat.
5. Double-check all of the connections to ensure they are secure and correctly wired.
6. Turn the power back on and test the oven to make sure it is working properly.

Please note that if you are not experienced in electrical wiring, it may be best to consult a professional electrician to help you wire your oven correctly and safely.

Perhaps the power outage, was caused by your freezer? When you think a reset would help, the run light should come on, after a little while. But perhaps only the thermostat is defect. Be aware there can be so many causes, and none has to be related to the power outage, for your freezer not to work. It would be virtually impossible to see what is wrong, from a distance. Better try to bring the food to a working fridge and call a tech to solve the problem.

I found this. It might be worth a try. https://www.applianceblog.com/mainforums/threads/garage-heater-kit.21876/ ..
