My GE side-by-side refrigerator (GSS25JFMC CC, bought in May of 2002) stops cooling completely. It happened in a progressive fashion during the last few days with water draining from the bottom of the refrigerator onto the floor. Now I have it emptied and thoroughly cleaned and it stays at room temp about 77 F. I plug it in, it makes the seemingly normal noises, the compressor heats up, the condenser (brushed and vacuumed) fan turns. After running it for an hour, the compressor gets hot, but the condenser does not. The two copper tubes connected to the compressor, one gets hot but not as hot as the compressor; the other does not get cold (stays at room temp). Both the freezer and the fridge compartments stays at room temp. I checked the defrost system, it seems okay. The defrost heater has continuity, the thermistors have the right resistance. I don't know where else to check. Is it low in gas? Or simply it's time to go for a 9-year-old refrigerator.

We have a GE refrigerator with a bottom slide-out freezer (model# PDS22MBSBBB, ser# XXXXX, made in Mexico but bought in the USA). Last week, the refrigerator started making more noise than usual, and then the freezer temperature rose, causing all the food to soften and melt. Now, three days later, the freezer is at 3 degrees. What could have caused this problem, and will it happen again?

I have a Quiet Series 100 dishwasher with model number MDB5600AWW and serial number 22462932EE. The bottom rotating sprayer doesn't rotate. Is the sprayer motor-driven or water-jet driven? Can debris in the holes or a worn sprayer grommet affect the rotation of the sprayer arms?

My ice maker won't produce ice cubes. The model is FRT21HS8KS3. It was hooked up on Sunday and only produced about 6 small cubes. There is some frozen water on the floor of the freezer at the back under the ice maker. I lowered the temperature setting from Normal to Cold. What could be the issue and how can I fix it?

My clothes dryer has a problem where none of the pilot lights on the panel work. When I close the door, the drum spins and the dryer heats, but the pilot lights remain off, and I have to open the door to stop the dryer. What can I expect from a repairman in terms of time and cost?

I followed the disassembly diagram for my Jenn-Air Dishwasher (JDB-5), removing the spraying arm, the water distribution assembly, the filter cover, and six screws that supposedly are all that remain, holding the filter assembly in place. I can't see any other screws to remove but now the filter won't lift out of the washer. What am I overlooking?
