The Dyson DC 45 ( I have shown DC56 here as it appears similar to the DC45) stops every 3-5 seconds when in use. The following is a more detailed series of the events which occur.

The Dyson is fully charged, when starting use with the brush head attachment, stops working after about 10 seconds of use.

We turn it on using the trigger starter. It stops again after about 3 seconds. We release the trigger and press it again. It starts and runs for approximately 3 seconds, then stops again. The sequence of restarting is repetitive until we give up in frustration.

Is there a "home fixable solution" or must it be taken to a repair shop? If so, where in the Toronto area can it be taken.

Thank you

Whirlpool wrb322dmbm01

Had a failed defrost thermostat and open inline fuse. Bought and installed a new complete factory freezer harness that included new thermostat and fuse.

Following a video for troubleshooting/tests, there is no voltage on the W & Or wires from the control board.

Per spec sheet, element ohms spot on. Don't see how that matters when no power is being sent to it.

Tried another control board, no difference.

Appliance works fine otherwise and all other test/checks are good. Used a meter to verify the board indication.

What am I missing?

About a year ago we had a Samsung tech out to our home and he replaced the heating element that runs along the sides/bottom…parts and labor ~$200. As you can see from the attached picture, the bottom portion seems just fine, so it’s not the drain jamming up, for which I’ve seen some parts that can be bought to conduct more heat to the drain hole. Something is happening to quickly accumulate ice in the upper portion…assuming it’s a leak of sorts? The noise is starting to brew again today, so this week I will be back into the fridge for a defrost…any recommendations for a more permanent solve? Thoughts on a copper wire wrapped around the heating element and extended to the upper portion to conduct some heat up there to avoid the ice build up? Sorry if this is a naïve question, but is low freon a potential issue here? If so, how to diagnose and/or recharge?

The fridge works fine otherwise…some freezing of the upper ice maker a few times a year…but general cooling is working…so I’m hopeful that there’s a simple MacGyver fix here that will keep me from clearing the contents of the fridge and defrosting every 4-6 weeks in the summer months. Thanks in advance for the help.

As an update, we are experiencing the re-occurrence of fan noise routinely around every 4-5 weeks...I'm getting rather swift with the removal of contents/shelves from the fridge and hair-dryer defrost of the back wall...can usually have all put back together within 40-60 minutes. Build-up seems faster in the summer months where the humidity is higher here in WI...it gets dry in the winters and I'm expecting that we can go months if I can gut through the summer. With inspiration from the video linked below I've purchased an SH502 heater for ~$20 from Amazon and intend to install one of the next times we open up the unit...unless someone advises otherwise in this thread. Condensation is appearing quickly even while I defrost...so maybe a little caulk on the entry point near the top will be in order too.

I have problem with my pure i9.

I got e23 and e21 error codes and i bought new batteries to fix it. Its still showing same error codes, when i put it on charging station.

Sometimes it shows red battery icon, sometimes white, but error codes stays same.

I have cleaned charcing stations two metal pads and also pads beneath the vacuum. Pads are shiny clean and dont have any corrosion or dirt.

I have also cleaned the hole vacuum with bottled air, so vacuum is clean from dust and dirt.

Internet forums dont have anymore solutions to fix my vacuum. Some forums are telling that this pure i9-model usually get eletronic fault and it cant be fixed...

Can someone please save my vacuum from dumpster?

Is there a troubleshooting process you would recommend?I haven’t found the schematics or in depth troubleshooting information online.

Could the sensor be incorrectly saying the ice is full which turns off the ice maker .

There are 2 wires going to the sensor. What position should the wires be in when the ice maker is on?

I’d appreciate any insights you can offer. Thanks, Mark
