AA Appliance Repair in Santa Barbara

Washers, dryers, and garbage disposals. The notes stay on older Maytag, Whirlpool, and Kenmore machines, which is the set named on the shop pages saved in 2017 and 2018. Those pages also named four towns: Santa Barbara, Goleta, Montecito, and Summerland.

There is no phone number here. If a check on a machine page changes nothing, photograph the rating plate and send it to [email protected].

The three machines

• WasherOn a Whirlpool direct-drive or a Kenmore model that starts with 110, a motor that hums while the tub sits still is the coupling. An older belt-drive Maytag is a different layout.
• DryerA drum that sits while the motor keeps the blower running has dropped its belt into the cabinet. No heat, with the drum turning, starts at the vent cap outside the house.
• DisposalA hum with a stuck turntable is a jam. The hex socket and the reset button are on the bottom of the unit. Turn the power off before you touch either one.

Where the plate sits

• Washer: under the lid, on the top rim, or on the back of the cabinet.
• Dryer: on the front panel beside the door opening, or inside the door.
• Disposal: a sticker on the side of the shell, under the sink. The model line has to be readable.
