Hello Dawn. We are very happy to learn that you found this helpful. Thanks for the feedback and for watching.

Hello Harold. Sorry you didn’t like it. It was our opinion that clearly describing the two versions side by side would help folks recognize the differences and be able to address their need by only having to look up one video with a consistent presentation style. Appreciate the feedback, and will consider this as we move forward.

Hey Natacha. Let’s start with accepting the basics that: - the ice maker is turned on (control panel switch), - that there is a sufficient water supply (which you can check with the water dispenser feature) Before calling for service, we would offer to check two things. - That the ice compartment is not overly frozen or clogged with ice. On this model that we are showing, the ice compartment is on the back of the left side (facing) door. As you open that door, you will see a box on the back with a lever on the side. Turn that lever to open up the box. Inside you will see the ice compartment. Make sure the funnel, auger, and storage tray are not frozen in place. If so, you will need to thaw that. Natural thaw is best. Chipping away with a pick, screw driver, etc. or using a heat supply like a hair dryer can damage parts or the plastic housing. - That the freezer temp is sufficiently low. We often suggest that typically 0f is good to start and then go up or down a degree at a time to address your conditions. With an on board ice maker, be careful not to stray too much above 0f - in fact some mfgs recommend a temp of -4f for an ice maker, but ours works just fine at 0f. Good luck and thanks for watching!

Glad we could be of help, Frank. Thank you for watching.

Hello John Michael. Please check out the video starting at 1:42. The “turning back on” is discussed there. Thanks for watching!

@@RJFix-pq6jz Thank you!

Hello Renee. Sorry you are having trouble. We’d like to help, but we are not sure what you are asking. If you think you are missing a part that belongs on the machine, you need to contact the seller or the mfg to get that rectified. If you have a different model number, there are various possibilities as to how to action this. If you can provide a better and more detailed description of what cover you can’t find and what you are trying to do (‘delivered without a cover’ doesn’t tell us anything really) and your model number, we can revisit to see if we can help. Hope to hear back with more details.

Thank you! We love to hear that our explanations are clear, efficient and useful. We very much appreciate the feedback and thank you for watching.

Hi. We are not sure what you mean by 'the light under the door". If you are speaking about the light in the ice/water dispenser compartment on the door, there is a switch for that. On the control panel, there is a switch labelled "Light Water Filter". the 'light' part of that switch toggles the ice water dispenser light from 'constant on' to 'on only when in use'. if that light is on all the time, try to toggle the setting with this switch. If you have evidence that the light in the refrige or freezer compartment is not turning off when the door is completely shut, you probably have a switch malfunction. In this model fridge, the compartment lights are controlled by magnetic switches that are hidden and get ‘tripped’ when the door is shut. To find the magnetic switches, use a small strip or disc magnet to probe around per below. Look for the light to turn off while the door is open. your magnetic should trip the light off even with the door open. If not, that might help you ID which switch may have gone bad. Freezer Compartment: with the freezer door slid out in the open position, slide your magnet around the (often) white freezer body walls inside the freezer compartment in the area of the door slide tracks. Start with the left side (facing the machine), then the right. If no success, try the body face where the rubber gasket contacts.. The light should go off with the door open. French Door Fridge. With only one door open at a time, slide your magnet first around the top door hinge housing mount. On this French door fridge this is often a plastic box mounted on the top of the body at the outside front corner where the door hinge is. If no success, try along the front face of the body top wall where the door gasket meets. The doors trigger independently, so work with only one door open at a time. When you find the switch, the position will be the same for the other door. If the light goes out for one door and not the other. you have a hint as to which switch is bad. Good luck.

Hello! We are so glad we could help because there’s nothing like a home cooked meal! Enjoy your new purchase and thanks for watching.

Well, that is annoying. It is a shame because this part is used on many different models. A bit of checking confirms that 1600777 is indeed discontinued. We wrote to Bissell to inquire about a replacement part. They replied and recommend that these part numbers are a good alternative: - 1611908 - 2031421 We would be interested to hear if anyone tries these part numbers. We also found an after market version (non OEM) offered on a third party site. We contacted them in order to verify part compatibility and site authenticity, but they have failed to reply, so we won't be recommending this path. Lastly, we contacted an appliance part supplier for their recommendation. They replied that they will do a bit of research and will advise if they uncover anything. Your suggestion to substitute 2038075 sounds like another possibility. We will update our vid description to note the disco and the possible substitutions. This was very good information, William. Thank you for taking the time to share all this. You help is very much appreciated.n uh

Hello and thanks for watching. This may not be great news. Many LG fridges (including the one in our video) use a unique compressor design called a “linear” compressor for power and noise savings. Unfortunately there has been some reliability issues with them and they suddenly stop cooling. If you think you have a compressor issue, we would suggest calling LG. The phone number should be on the tag inside the compartment. Due to the number of notices, LG may be offering some things. You may want to try some things yourself first. 1. The fridge is often cooled by moving chilled air from the freezer. Be sure the air vents in the compartments are not iced up or clogged in any way 2. Make sure your electrical outlet has enough voltage. Some areas reduce power during peak demand times. 3. Reset the machine. Two ways to do this. Either: - a. Unplug or trip the breaker for 30 seconds and then re-establish power - b. Open either door and press the ‘refridge’ and ‘ice plus’ buttons simultaneously until the panel starts blinking (typical about 5 seconds) After a reset the machine (if working properly) will start to cool. It could take up to 24 hours to reach the set temps. And as far as ‘set temps’ go. 0f for freezer and 37f for fridge is a good starting place. After established, you can raise or lower a degree at a time until you reach ideal for your needs. Good luck!

@@RJFix-pq6jz Thank you so much for the tips!

We are glad that you found it useful! Thanks for watching.

This is so wonderful to hear. We do a lot of prep before we actually film and are so glad that it seems to pay off. Thank you very much for sharing these great thoughts and for the guidance that will help us form up as we continue.

Hey there. Yes, as we mention in this video, there are three different methods for this TPMS reset on a Fit, depending on the trim level of the vehicle. You are correct that our hands-on example is a lower technolgy trim level. Starting at about 4:17, we actually describe all three methods. One is exactly as you stated, via the dash. Thanks for watching!

We are so glad you found it helpful! Thank you for sharing that and for watching.

Very glad that you found it helpful. Thank you for letting us know.

Hello! With so many models, brands, and designs it’s hard to say conclusively. But generally, refridges have two fans, one to circulate the air to perform cooling and another to cool off the compressor and pull air through the coils. Generally neither of these should be running continuously. They both should cycle on and off depending on the demand and need. In many machines the circulation fan also turns off if the door is opened. There are many service related reasons the fan could wrongly be running 100% of the time - thermostats, cycle switches, faulty motors, etc. Before service, we would recommend checking that the coils are dust free and not clogged causing overwork. Good luck and thanks for watching.

Hey there. The machine in our video uses the AF-2 air filter. Per Frigidaire, this filter does not have a critically specific air flow direction. Your newer machine uses the RAF-2 air filter, which is replacing the AF-2. The RAF-2 filter is direction specific with a much more pronounced black side, and should be installed with the carbon (black) side out. Hope that clears it up for you and thanks for the comment. We will update our caption to note the RAF difference.

@@RJFix-pq6jz thank you, I ended up putting the black side out so lucked out on that, I couldn't find that info at all but thanks again for the update

We are so glad you found it helpful. Thanks for watching!

Hello and thank you for watching. The LG machines use a unique compressor design called an inverted linear compressor. If you have one of these, you may want to check into what LG is offering as a warranty. They have had some problems with this design.

Hello and thanks for viewing. Shutting the machine down as we demonstrate should shut down all the cooling mechanisms. If your issue turns out to be the compressor, you may wish to inquire about what LG may be offering as to warranty. They have had some troubles with their linear compressor design.

That didn't work. So something serious.

Unfortunate. Nice try, tho.

Our channel is about “how to” for folks who want to do some DIY. We do not rate, sponsor, or promote any brand.

Love how you just give your opinion and no reason as to why you think its "the worst product you can ever buy"

This is a conundrum. Before calling for service., we would recommend you test three things: 1. The refridge section is often cooled by blowing air from the freezer to the fridge. If the air is not moving, we would check for food blocking g the vents, spillage clogging the vents, ice forming at the vent, or a bad fan. 2. The power supply must be sufficient. Check the wall outlet to be sure it is providing the full voltage it is supposed to. 3. Reset the machine. Unplug the unit (or trip the breaker) and leave it sit for at least 30 seconds. Re energize the power and set the temps (generally a good start is 0f for freezer and 37f for fridge). This will reset the machine. Wait 24 hours to stabilize then recheck operation. Good luck!

Thank you very much for your support! We are glad you found it helpful.

Theoretically, the TPM system should be independent of the traction system. But. We have seen in one of our vehicles a couple of years back, where the traction light came on along with a check engine light. The culprit was the charcoal canister filter. Changed the canister, reset the computer, no more issue for years now. Dealer said that the traction light coming on due to the canister seal failure was totally normal. We would recommend having your car’s computer error log read (via the OBD port) to identify what you have going on there.

​@@RJFix-pq6jzthank you very much!

Hello Nick. Toyota recommends that both Engine and Cabin air filters be changed at 10,000 miles for ‘extreme’ service and 15,000 to 30,000 for normal service. And of course that’s the official word. But our opinion is that mileage is a good indicator since it gives an idea of how much the filter needed to do its job, but it’s only part of the story. For example if you live in NY you may have been affected by the extreme wild fires from Canada in 2023 - air quality was a total mess and might have accelerated filter replacements. We have a number of cars that range from daily drivers to limited use, and our area and use combo is not extreme by any measure. We check them one year after it was changed. You see how easy it is to pull them out and do a visual ‘light filtration’ look, so it’s 10 minutes to do. If they look past it, we change it. But otherwise they get changed every other year at the two year mark or 15,000 miles whichever comes first. The filters are cheap enough on-line that the use doesn’t need to be pushed to limits. Thanks for watching and for sparking a good discussion.

@@RJFix-pq6jz thank you for long response. Appreciate

Hey Mendel. We are not totally familiar with this, but we have some suggestions. Generally there are three ways to disable the compartment lights. Number 3 below is most common. 1. The fridge has a Sabbath mode. Not all models have this. Turning this feature on is most often a combination of button presses on the control panel. Which buttons are involved will vary by model and you’ll need the owner’s manual. 2. There is a mechanical switch that gets compressed when the door is shut, interrupting the circuit and shutting the lights. Look on the body in the area of parts that actuate when the door is manipulated for a “pressable” switch, typically rectangular with a hinge on one end, or a round ‘straight in’ plunger type These buttons can be taped ‘pressed’ in the closed door position. 3. There are hidden magnetic switches that get ‘tripped’ when the door is shut. Let’s spend a minute talking about number 3. To find the magnetic switches, use a small strip or disc magnet to probe around per below. Look for the light to turn off while the door is open. Freezer Compartment: with the freezer door slid out in the open position, slide your magnet around the (often) white freezer body walls inside the freezer compartment in the area of the door slide tracks. Start with the left side facing the machine, then the right. If no success, try the body face where the rubber gasket contacts, but don’t mount your magnet in the way of the gasket making a good contact seal. French Door Fridge. With only one door open at a time, slide your magnet first around the top door hinge housing mount. On a French door fridge this is often a plastic box mounted on the top of the body at the outside front corner. If no success, try along the front face of the body top wall. The doors trigger independently, so work with one door open only. When you find the switch, it will be the same for the other door. Single Door Fridge. With the one door open, slide the magnet as above - start with the top hinge mount area and then if needed try the front face of the body top wall in the area where the gasket contacts, but don’t mount your magnet interrupting the gasket seal. You could simply tape the magnet in place, or use a small patch of Velcro. Velcro will allow easy removal and replacement as needed, and will mark the spot on the fridge for next time. Good luck, thanks for viewing and commenting, and happy holiday if you are celebrating. Let us know how you make out.

Hmmm. Interesting dilemma. If you are sure that you have a Frigidaire Pure Water filter, they are most often a ‘press’ to remove. Press the base in and the filter pops out - kind of like some cabinet doors or auto fuel tank access doors. The press can be substantial but not overly aggressive. The bottom of these round filters are usually either: a) flat and flush with their mounting surface or b) rounded like the bottom of a bottle. There are some older Frigidaires that have a different system, sometimes called PureSource. The bottom of those filters have indentations on both side of the bottom creating a handle in the center that the user can grab. Looks kind of like some stove knobs. This system would require a quarter turn counter clockwise to remove. Listen for the click and pull straight out. It sometimes helps to continue the rotation while pulling it out. Replacement is exactly the opposite motion - insert fully and while applying gentle pressure inward, rotate clockwise until it clicks and locks in place. Good luck!

Same here. Did you figure out a solution?

We got your back - if your friends ask, we’ll tell them you told us how it works.

Hello and thanks for watching. Unfortunately when this happens, it is usually the control panel board that has gone bad. When you press the activation switch with a glass, the machine reacts depending on how the control panel is set - ‘water’ opens the water valve and natural house pressure in the water lines dispenses - ‘ice’ turns on the screw auger in the ice tray which moves cubes to the dispensing chute - ‘crushed’ does as above but also engages a crushing blade If nothing is dispensing while the activation switch is not pressed it’s likely not the switch. If you hear both the water valve click and the auger motor turn on when you press the activation switch, likely the control panel is shorted. This is an expensive part, we would recommend a technician - we are giving ‘best guess’ since we have no contact. You could try letting the machine totally defrost to see if ice build up may be causing this, but we don’t have a high degree of confidence in this solution. Good luck. We would love to know how this works out.

Hey Carl. Thanks for watching. There are two schools of thought when you have a RO whole house filter. - Some believe that keeping a (real) filter further reduces contaminants via the charcoal element in the filter. This filter will need to be replaced periodically. - Others believe that the (real) filter is unnecessary and prefer the long term cost savings and the potential for increased water flow at the fridge dispenser. - It’s a personal choice. We are reluctant to offer a part number for the bypass since there are so many models out there. But we can give you a head start in your search. Bypass filter A15601102 will GENERALLY be the bypass replacement for a PWF-1 filter. We THINK this is a good number for you to start your search with. Please VERIFY this conclusively before you purchase, as we cannot be responsible for knowing all applications and compatibility. The Frigidaire site (Frigidaire.com) gives an opportunity to check compatibilty by refridge model number. Good luck!

So happy this worked for you! Thanks for the feedback.

Hey there. We can only think of a few things that might cause this to happen: 1. The key fob battery is totally discharged. Fixable by installing a new fob battery. If the vehicle 12v battery is significantly discharged, this could also cause this, but you would likely have other symptoms. 2. The fob was shielded. Sometimes if the fob is in a case, a pocket, a purse, near a cell phone, etc. the radio wave transmissions can be blocked. 3. The fob is damaged. This can happen if the fob was exposed to excessive moisture, was subjected to a traumatic impact, seriously overheated, etc. The fob will need to be replaced. 4. The fob and the vehicle became out of programming synch ('deprogrammed'). There are a few videos on line that might help you do a DIY reprogram, but we have never tried it so we can't recommend one or verify applicability. Of course, a Toyo dealer can also help with this. In rare occasions, it is possible that the vehicle receiver went bad and would need to be replaced. Good luck!

@@RJFix-pq6jz Appreciate the response brother 💯

We are very glad that this helped you out! Thank you!

We are glad the video helped out! It’s a great note about the model number. The PWF-1 (FPPWFU01) water filter fits 37 different models, and the AF-2 (FRGPAAF2) air filter fits 34. They all install the same way so we couldn’t add all the models in the title. We’ll have to think of a way to handle that. Thank you very much for the feedback and great suggestion.

Well, there are all kinds of sensors in these machines. Some even have a sensor by the air filter that senses the temp of the room the fridge is in. Of course any one of these can get screwy. But we would recommend three things before you reach for a technician: First check the fridge/freezer temp settings. Ideal is 37 degrees F for the fridge and 0 degrees F for the freezer. In a single compressor machine, the fridge cools by drawing the cold air from the freezer and circulating that cold air into the fridge compartment. You can try raising the fridge and freezer a degree or two and see if that helps without causing any freezing issues. The combination of sensor input sources can drive a need to stray from the 'ideal' temp. Secondly, check to see if the vents that draw the air from the freezer to the fridge are blocked or obstructed. If they are, that could cause frosting in those vents which could over cool the air. Lastly, check that the fridge seals are not compromised (broken, gapped, fridge not level causing torque at the doors, etc.). The escaping cold air can cause a sensor to read a need for cooling and some sections of the fridge can get over cooled. We also found this website from LG (written in 2023) that talks about this issue, and offers some suggestions. www.lg.com/ca_en/support/product-support/troubleshoot/help-library/cs-CT20098040-20152952232260/ Good luck!

We are so glad we were able to help!

Hi there. We think it is great that you tried it! So you got the cover off. That was a quarter turn to the counter clockwise and it just came off. Now you have to get the filter out of the cover. That is a bit tricky since you can't push it out from the front. On the filter itself, if you look closely, you will see what looks like a cellophane tape strip along each of two opposite edges on the side of the filter you can see. Those are actual removal aids. Flip one of the 'tape' strips up from the inner edge (the edge closest to center). That should provide a handle that you can pull on to yank the filter out of the cover. No need to pry, just pull on the 'tape" strip. The new filter then goes in with the 'plus sign' grille side into the filter cover (i.e. we are leaving the two 'tape' strips on the new filter visible again). Just press fit the new filter into the cover. Put the cover back on the fridge with a quarter turn clockwise once you line up the tabs. You can do it! Let us know how you make out.

PS. I'm sure that it goes without saying, but make sure your LG Air Filter assembly looks like the one in the video, so our instructions are consistent.

So mine was stuck too. Push firmly with both hands toward the back wall and a snap of the wrists should break it loose the first time. Don't be afraid to use some force but only an 1/8 turn counter clockwise so you don't risk snapping the tabs off.

Perfect! A bit of a firm push on the cover toward the back wall of the machine while turning can help.

Hey. Just a guess, but maybe something to think about. The water dispenser on an LG will not work if either of the doors is open. If the light is not going off when you close the door, the machine may be thinking that the door is still open. If it thinks the door is open then it could be cutting off the water dispenser. I would offer that you solve the light issue first (shorted switch maybe) and see if that in turn solves the water issue. Good luck!

We hope this video will help you with turning the LG off while you still have it!
