Problems We Solve
Refrigerator
Not cooling / too warm
Refrigerator fails to maintain safe temperatures—often due to faulty condenser or evaporator fans, dirty coils, or incorrect thermostat settings.
Everything is freezing
A defective thermostat, thermistor, or control board can cause food to freeze.
Frost buildup in the freezer
Damaged door seals or a broken defrost system allow moist air to enter.
Ice maker or water dispenser isn’t working.
Check for kinks in the water supply line, clogged filters, or a faulty inlet valve.
Won’t run after being transported
After moving a refrigerator, oil drains from the compressor into the coolant lines—wait several hours before turning it back on.
Leaking water
Usually caused by damaged water lines or fittings for the ice maker or water dispenser.
Unusual or loud noises
Dirty or worn condenser/evaporator fans often cause excessive noise.
Door won’t close or seal
A broken door seal, misalignment, or worn hinges can lead to frost and temperature problems.
Light won’t turn on
Usually a loose or burnt‑out bulb; electrical issues require professional help.
Excess moisture or condensation inside
Poor sealing or high humidity creates puddles and frost.
Cycles too frequently
Dirty fans or incorrect temperature settings can cause continuous cycling.
General temperature/moisture inconsistency and dispenser issues.
Additional problems
Faulty compressor, broken control board, cracked water filter housing, unpleasant odors, etc.
Washer
Loud noise or vibration
Damaged tub bearings or an unbalanced load can cause banging and shaking.
Won’t start or stops mid‑cycle
A defective lid or door switch often prevents operation.
Won’t drain
Clogged or kinked drain hose, blocked pump filter, or a broken drain pump.
Won’t fill with water
A faulty fill valve assembly or closed water supply line.
Basket won’t spin or spins slowly
Likely due to a worn motor coupler or broken drive belt.
Water leaks
Damaged hoses, door seals, or pump assemblies.
No spin/poor agitation
Motor, belt, or electronic control issues; unbalanced loads.
Door won’t unlock
Front‑load washers may have a defective door lock.
Strange smells or mold
Excess detergent or trapped moisture encourages mildew.
Leaving residue on clothes
Overloaded drum or blocked detergent dispenser.
Won’t turn on at all
Lack of power, blown fuses, or a faulty control board.
Error codes on the display
Diagnostic codes indicate sensor or component failures.
Dryer
No heat or insufficient heat
Caused by a failed heating element, thermostat, or thermal fuse.
Takes too long to dry
A clogged vent, overloaded drum, or faulty thermostat/relay board.
Clothes come out damaged or burned
Overheating due to defective controls or using the wrong cycle.
Loud noises
Worn belts, drum rollers, idler pulleys, or bearings cause squealing.
Drum turns but there’s no heat
Broken belt, bad motor, or blown thermal fuse.

Door switch, fuse, or control board failure.
Overheats and shuts down; burning smell
Obstructed lint trap or vent system.
Runs continuously and doesn’t shut off
Defective timer or control board.
Door seal problems or latch issues.
Sensor errors or moisture sensor failures.
Excess vibration or “walking”. Uneven floor or worn suspension.
Sparks/electrical issues
Damaged wiring demands immediate service.
Oven & Range
Not heating at all
Check that the oven is plugged in, reset the circuit breaker, and inspect the heating element.
Slow heating or uneven temperature
Misaligned or broken temperature sensor, calibration issues, or a faulty thermostat.
Gas oven won’t ignite
A defective igniter prevents the gas from lighting.
Thermostat knobs set incorrectly
Loose or broken knobs prevent accurate temperature selection.
Door won’t shut properly
Dirty or damaged gaskets, hinges, or latches.
Tripped gas line or electricity issues
Problems in the gas line or electrical supply prevent heating.
Excess smoke or odors
Grease or food residue too close to the broiler.
Uneven baking or burnt food
Poor rack placement, blocked vents, oversized cookware, or a malfunctioning thermostat.
Range & cooktop
Range isn’t level
Poor installation, uneven floors, or misaligned cabinetry.
Oven light doesn’t work
Burned‑out or loose bulb.
Inaccurate temperature
Misplaced capillary bulb, incorrect control settings, or blocked vents.
Surface burners won’t light (gas models)
Control knob not fully turned, clogged burner ports, or improper burner placement.
