Dishwasher won’t shut off or finish: which step it is stuck on
A dishwasher that runs for hours is stuck on one step: heating, draining or filling. Feel the water at 20 minutes, then test the element, drain pump or inlet valve listed for your model.
Appliance model number lookup: where the sticker is on every appliance
Where the model sticker is on washers, dryers, dishwashers, ovens, fridges and rangehoods, what each brand’s number looks like, and how to search it so the part that lists your model comes up.
Fridge not defrosting: the four parts behind freezer frost build-up
A sheet of ice on the freezer back wall and a fridge that slowly warms means the defrost system has stopped. Test the heater, thermostat, sensor and timer in order, then match the part to your model sticker.
