My Whirlpool EHT141PK refrigerator has been emitting a hot rubber smell from underneath, the compressor is not running, and there is a click followed by a 3-4 second humming then another click, repeating every 30 seconds.

What could be the problem, and how can I diagnose it further?

My double oven's digital panel clock is no longer displayed, and it makes a series of 4 beeps when I try to start it. The oven won't work, but the oven light comes on. I've tried resetting it by cutting the breaker, but it didn't help. Is the panel motherboard faulty, and if so, how difficult is it to replace?

I have a Whirlpool refrigerator, model WRT311FZDZ, which is two years old. There is a piece of cardboard under the coils that is vibrating against the condensate pan, causing a loud noise. If I push up on the cardboard, the vibration stops. I am over a tiled floor, and a previous discussion on JustAnswer suggested that this piece is not needed if over a tiled floor. I tried shimming it but it didn't work consistently. Can I safely remove this cardboard piece without needing to empty the fridge and turn it on its side?

I have a Hotpoint electric dryer (model HTDX100ED2WW) that stopped working. The timer was replaced, but the issue persists. The dryer gets power at the pigtail but nothing inside the dryer. The breaker has been tripping, and an electrician friend confirmed 240V to the dryer. What could be the issue, and what should I check next?
