Latest field case · Appling, GA
A KitchenAid refrigerator gradually lost cooling because of a sealed-system refrigerant leak. Full refrigeration service restored cooling.

Latest field case · Evans, GA
Diagnostic mode confirmed a failed drain pump on an LG front-load washer in Evans. After pump replacement and reassembly, normal draining and spinning were restored.

A warm fresh-food section, a heavily frosted evaporator, almost 4 amps through the defrost heater, and thermal-camera verification all helped narrow the diagnosis.
Short examples of the type of work Pulse handles every week: cooling, heating, draining, leaking, airflow, error codes and electrical diagnostics.

Cooling complaints, ice maker problems, noisy fans and frost buildup diagnosed with a practical step-by-step process.

Drain, spin, balance, leak and door-lock symptoms checked carefully before parts are recommended.

No-heat and long-dry-time calls often need airflow, thermal fuse, element and venting checks.
