Kenmore HE2t front loading washer (about 1.5 years old) has an "F24" error, which is a water temperature sensor error. Sure would like to get it fixed.

My Samsung side by side Model #: RS267LASxH refrigerator is not cooling. The freezer part works fine. The outside thermometer (on the door) does not seem to read the temperature on the inside accurately and sometimes blinks on and off. On a couple of occasions I have noted a possible water leak from the front right corner of the refrigerator. I was wondering what the cost would be to have this looked at and when it could be done. Thank you!

Refrigerator Repairs
Most home owners choose to rely on professional refrigerator repairs when anything goes wrong with their fridge. Refrigerator repairs tend to be complicated, and are best left to professional repair services. However, if you have basic DIY skills, you can perform a few basic refrigerator repairs yourself. Remember to disconnect the refrigerator from the power outlet before you attempt any repairs. If your refrigerator has stopped running, check to make sure by looking at the light or any sound coming from the refrigerator. If there is a light, or if you can hear the fan or motor, then the appliance hasn't completely stopped. Set the thermostat reading to a colder setting.
If the refrigerator isn't cooling, check to see if it has completely stopped, and if it has not, make sure that the thermostat is turned to the right setting. If not, reset the thermostat now. Cooling problems can also occur because of problems with the compressor motor, which is located on the outside near the bottom of the refrigerator. If the compressor continues to hum, the problem may be linked to something else, and a qualified refrigerator technician must be called. Poor cooling can also occur because of heavy accumulation of frost on the evaporator coils. The refrigerator has a self defrosting mechanism, and if there are problems in the system, the appliance will continue its cooling function. This can cause frost build up on the evaporator coil. To check if this is the problem, remove perishables from the refrigerator, turn the thermostat knob to the off position, and leave the refrigerator doors open for about 24 hours, allowing defrosting to take place. When all the frost has been melted, turn the knob back to your normal setting.
Other common refrigerator repair problems include freezing of the food in the refrigerator. Check the internal temperature of the appliance, and set it to a reading between 35 and 42 degrees. If the temperature is set to too cold, and you can't change it by turning the thermostat, then you may have a defective thermostat that must be replaced. Reduce the need for refrigerator repairs by undertaking periodic maintenance of your refrigerator. Make sure that the condenser coils are cleaned regularly, and clean out the drain pan often.
