In Brief: On this site you will find pictures and technical information about Service Modes, Circuit Diagrams, Firmware Update procedure, Disassemble procedure, Universal remote control set-up codes, Troubleshooting and more....

If you go into the profession, you will obtain or have access to a variety of tech tips databases HERE IT IS Master Electronics Repair !.

These are an excellent investment where the saying: 'time-is-money' rules. However, to learn, you need to develop a general troubleshooting approach - a logical, methodical, method of narrowing down the problem. A tech tip database might suggest: 'Replace C536' for a particular symptom. This is good advice for a specific problem on one model. However, what you really want to understand is why C536 was the cause and how to pinpoint the culprit in general even if you don't have a service manual or schematic and your tech tip database doesn't have an entry for your sick TV or VCR.

While schematics are nice, you won't always have them or be able to justify the purchase for a one-of repair. Therefore, in many cases, some reverse engineering will be necessary. The time will be well spent since even if you don't see another instance of the same model in your entire lifetime, you will have learned something in the process that can be applied to other equipment problems.
As always, when you get stuck, checking out a tech-tips database may quickly identify your problem and solution.In that case, you can greatly simplify your troubleshooting or at least confirm a diagnosis before ordering parts.

Happy repairing!

HOW TO FIX A WASHING MACHINE MAKING YOUR CLOTHES DIRTY – STAINS ON CLOTHING

HOW TO FIX A WASHING MACHINE MAKING YOUR CLOTHES DIRTY – STAINS ON CLOTHING:

Is your washing machine making your clothes dirty? There are many reasons why a washer can leave stains or marks on your clothing. An older washer with chipped paint, excessive fabric softener, or a dirty door seal could be the cause. These reasons may dirty or stain your clothing when washed.


 You washer is supposed to clean your clothing not stain them. You need to find out what is causing the problem by inspecting the washer. We will go over some issues that can cause the washer to have this residue fault.
(Clue = Sometimes a washing machine can get a wax like build-up of fabric softener and detergent in the washer drum that causes stains on your clothing.)
Try This Quick Fix = The washer drum may have grease, fabric softener, detergent, or oil that is present from earlier washed clothing. It is best to run a hot water empty wash cycle with a cup of bleach after wiping down the inside of the washer drum. This will remove any softener or grease that may be staining your clothing.

Common reasons a washing machine stains or marks your clothing…

1. Washer drum has greasy residue from previous wash

The washer drum may have accumulated grease or oil from recently washed clothing. This can cause the next load of clothing to get grey stains or black marks when washed. To fix this problem you can wipe the inner washer drum with a damp washcloth to remove any greasy residue. Once you have cleaned the drum, run an empty hot water wash cycle with one cup of white vinegar to further clean out the drum.

2. Paint enamel in washer or dispenser is chipped and causes brown or red colored stains

Any chipped enamel paint can cause rust stains on your clothing. This causes a brown or red colored stain on your clothing. The only way to truly fix this is to repaint the affected area. To fix the rust issue, carefully sand down the affected area. Use a rust resistant appliance paint and apply the paint to the chipped area. Once the rusted area is painted over, this will prevent any further rust stains on your clothing.

3. Excessive fabric softener clinging to areas in drum causes stains

Using too much fabric softener can cause it to lump up and cling in certain areas. The softener can then stain your clothing when washed. To fix this problem, reduce the amount of fabric softener used and reduce the amount of clothing put in for each wash. Clean out the inner wash drum with a warm damp washcloth to remove any clumped up fabric softener.

4. Grease stuck on rubber door seal creates stains and marks on clothing

The rubber door seal on front loading washing machines might have clumped up detergent/softener that can rub off on clothing. Always wipe the rubber door seal off after washing your clothing. Mold or mildew can also be present so cleaning is a must. Leave the washing machine door open when not in use to allow air flow and avoid bad smells and mold growth.

5. Internal issue in washer stains clothing when washed

If a part in the washer begins to deteriorate, this can lead to stains on your clothes. The door seal, pump or other parts can crack, rip, or break and get grease or stains on your clothing. To fix this, you will need to troubleshoot the washer and find out which part is causing the washer to stain your clothing. Unplug the washer and turn off the water when troubleshooting the issue.


How to prevent stains on clothing from dirty washerEvery 30 days run an empty cycle with hot water = Use 1 cup of white vinegar and a scoop of soda crystals (bicarbonate of soda).

How to prevent further staining on clothes

1. Do not use excessive fabric softener as it can clump/clog. 2. Wipe down the washers inner wash drum to keep clean and free of grease/oil/detergent. 3. Keep the washers detergent dispenser open for airflow when not in use to avoid mold/clogging/bad smells. (Front loader washer) 4. Open the washing machine door when not is use to promote air flow and prevent mold. (Front loader washer) 5. Try to always wash white clothing in hot water as cold water promotes mold.
