My Kitchenaid compactor, which is about 9 years old, model #KUCC151PA0, stopped working today. I checked all the normal things, plugged in, switch on, and so forth. When I removed the drawer, I found a piece of spring steel about 2" long and 1/2" wide. When I pull up on the foot plate, there is no resistance and the compactor does not turn on. Can I fix it and if so, how?

I have a Whirlpool Cabrio WED6200SW1 Electric Dryer. The display is on and the timer works, but the dryer doesn't turn. I've replaced the Thermal Thermistor, Thermostat, Hi-Limit, Thermofuse, and Thermal cut-off, but the issue persists. What other causes or parts could be the problem?

I have a KitchenAid thermal-convection oven from 1998. The control panel lost its lights and displayed an error code E3, and now it only shows the time. I believe it's the electric clock control board, which is expensive. Should I attempt to repair it myself, or replace the entire stove/oven?

My Sharp Carousel Convection Microwave 900w made a pop noise when starting and now nothing operates, including the display. Power is going to the power point. What could be the issue and what should I check?

My Frigidaire free-standing range's oven and broiler will not heat, but the cook-top works fine, and the clock and other settings display correctly. What could be the issue, and is it more cost-effective to repair or replace the appliance?

We have a built-in KitchenAid Microwave that is approximately four years old. Recently, we have experienced several instances where the Microwave has come on by itself. When noticed, if we opened the door it went off. However, if we then closed the door it came back on again. This is obviously a very hazardous situation. Have you ever heard of this problem with any microwave? Is there anything external to the microwave that could be causing this problem (possibly a cordless phone)? Is there anything we can do to preclude this problem short of turning off the breaker controlling the microwave or opening the door every time we leave?
