You most likely have a shorted refrigerant pump module.

SOURCE: Electric outlet does not work

LETS START HERE , MOST OF THE GFCI BREAKERS WILL SOMETIMES RUN THROUGH THE BATH ROOM OUTLETS AND THEN OUTSIDE IF YOU HAVE A GFCI IN THE BATH OR LAUNDRY OR BASEMENT OR GARAGE MAKE SURE NONE OF THE RESET BUTTONS ARE IN THE TRIP POSITION THE NEC CODE CALLS FOR ALL OF THE LISTED PLACES AS WELL AS CRAWL SPACES AND NEXT TO AC/HEATPUMP TO BE ALL GFCI AND TO SAVE MONEY AND WIRE MOST OF THESE ARE DAISEY CHAINED TOGETHER TO SAVE MONEY SO THEY PUT ONE CLOSE TO THE BREAKER PANEL AND FEED THE REST OFF IT IT WILL BE A GOOD CK I HAVE HAD MANY CALLS FOR THIS THROUGH THE YEARS

Yes, it could be the thermostat. Here are all of the reasons that could be causing your problem Read through them as a guide on how to proceed. Get back if I can help you further.

This is a common problem that often doesn't have a clear, permanent solution. The first thing to check is the overall internal refrigerator temperature (see the Appliance Accessories section for a refrigerator/freezer thermometer). The proper temperature should be between 35 and 42 degrees. Here are some things to try:

  • If your refrigerator temperature is closer to 35 degrees, try turning the temperature up slightly.

  • If you find that the temperature varies a lot from the top shelf to the bottom (where it is coldest), try putting produce and other sensitive products on a higher shelf.

  • If the temperature is too low and you can't make it warmer by adjusting the thermostat, you probably have a defective thermostat. If so, you need to replace it, because they cannot be repaired. Other possible problems are a leak in the sealed (refrigerant) system, cold air migration (in side-by-side models) or a defective air damper. These problems can be quite difficult to locate and correct, we recommend you contact a qualified appliance repair technician.

Try it in a normal plug. Freezers and refridgerators just pull too much to be used on a GFCI. The more a GFCI is used the eaiser it trips.

Microwave clock and panel was lit in am wasn't used but in evening when went to use it isn't lit and won't work at all

Hello Anonymous

At the risk of starting with the very basics, when you say that the clock and panel aren't lit and wont' work at all, the first place to look is the wall power. You may be missing power from the wall because:
  1. The microwave isn't plugged in. Someone may have yanked a plug to plug in a mixer, phone charger, thanksgiving animated ornament, or what have you. Trace the cord back and make sure it's plugged in.
  2. Make sure the outlet has power. Take some plug-in-able item and plug to the outlet and see if it can turn on. If not:
  1. A number of kitchen outlets may have GFI switches, especially if they are anywhere near sinks. The GFI may have been tripped. There should be a reset switch in the middle of the plug. See if it's tripped, and reset if necessary.
  2. The breaker may have been tripped. Most kitchen circuits are wired to 20Amp breakers. If this is elsewhere in the house, like in an entertainment room or such, it is likely a 15 Amp outlet. Microwaves can draw a fair amount of power. Someone using another kitchen appliance, hair dryer, or what have you, on the same circuit, may have tripped the breaker. Newer code may specify an AFI or GFI breaker for kitchen outlets. In that case, a fault with something else on the circuit may have tripped the breaker. If that is the case, and it trips again, talk to an electrician. You don't want a fault like that undiagnosed.

    3) You may also want to try plugging the microwave into another outlet, even if the normal outlet seems OK

    If there's wall power and a good plug-in, then you work back to the microwave itself. A number will have fuses. Also, there may be interlocks that kick in if, for instance, the carousel rotation is impeded - that can mean something on the carousel is hitting a wall, which can risk tipping something over and spilling, or risk mucking up the reduction gears for the carousel axle if it keeps pushing.

    At that point, looking for specifics on your microwave model will be needed. You may also try the Microsoft Support approach - i.e unplug it for 5 minutes, then plug it back in and see if it works.

    Hoping this helps, Good Luck!

We just recently moved, and when we plugged in our dryer at the new house, nothing comes on. I cant even get the screen to light up, almost like the power source is dead. I checked the breaker on the house...

-Try difference outlet. If it works then the first outlet you plug in has no power.
-You said you already check the breaker. it looks fine.
-Did you do any thing to the breaker or just look...?
-If the outlet that you want to use still has no power then how about try this:
-Open the breaker panel. Flip all breaker off, then flip all on one by one and check again. If you have power now then good. But still have no power then most likely the previous owner or renter disconnect the wires to that outlet from its connector. At the junction box or may be at the breaker.

Good luck

Does this Maytag Bravos electric dryer require more power? I.e., new dryer blows circuit breaker multiple times during a load. Have used electric dryers on this circuit for many years and have not had this...

Assuming that your house is wired correctly, if the plug will physically fit into the outlet, then the outlet is capable of driving the appliance properly. A breaker for a dryer should be rated at 30 amperes. The breaker itself could be going bad (they tend to fail to the off position).
Your best bet is to actually use an amp meter to measure the current it draws.
If you discover that someone wired your dryer with a 2 pole 20 amp breaker, then make sure the wire itself is 10 AWG before replacing it with a 2 pole 30.

My Neptune Top Load fills the water, the motor doesn't start.

If i understand correctly you are stating the breaker shut down which means the house breaker for the outlet power kicked out. You might try plugging something else into the outlet to see if it also kicks out, say a vacuum cleaner of a drill.

You need a amp clamp to test for something shorted or grounded (or ohm out windings) which requires trained service........you do not want to get a shock

We have arc fault breakers on our house built in 2002. in trying to plug in our 40'' lcd tv the breaker kicks out as soon as the plug touches the outlet. We've even tried brand new high end TrippLite surge...

Well, considering all TV's these days have what is called a SMPS which means Switch Mode Power Supply. As soon as your plug enters the outlet it will ark, because the power supply starts up immediately, so my suggestion would be is to kill the breaker to that room then plug the set in and then reset the breaker. Let me know how it turns out.

My washer keeps kicking out the electrical outlet everytime it goes beyond the filling stage. I hit reset and it only goes for a second. Help!!!!!

try using a different outlet in your house, with a decent quality extension cord. it might be a problem with the outlet or circuit breaker reset switch.
if it still does it on another outlet in the house then it might be a bad motor.
