Top Repairs for Refrigerator
1| Blocked Vents
For your refrigerator to cool, it relies on proper air circulation. When the vents are overcrowded, the groceries, drinks, snacks, and other perishables will not stay cold because too many things block the vents in the refrigerator.
2| Condenser Fan Motor
The condenser fan motor pulls cool air into the condenser coils, so if your refrigerator still won’t cool down, this increases the chance that your kitchen appliance will overheat and fail to cool. At this point, you may need to replace your condenser fan motor.
3| Temperature Problem
One of the most common refrigerator problems homeowners have is their refrigerator not cooling. Having a refrigerator that is not cooling will make your food go bad and can cause sickness. Having cold food is a necessity, so we will be sure to address this quickly.
Away From Walls: To ensure no temperature problems occur, make sure your refrigerator is placed correctly and is not too close to any walls. The air vents need to have room for proper airflow which allows the cooling to happen in your refrigerator.
Worn Gasket: If you’re finding it hard to keep your refrigerator shut or it’s too hard to open the door, you may need to replace your door seal.
Temperature Control Gauge: If you think your refrigerator is not cooling how it’s supposed to, or the temperature feels different than normal, place a thermometer inside the refrigerator and see what it reads. Your gauge could be broken and not read the refrigerator’s temperature correctly.
4| Evaporator Fan
Depending on your refrigerator type, it may require one or more evaporator fans to be installed. The cold air in your refrigerator is distributed by the evaporator coils, then distributed through the freezer compartment by the fans.
5| Electricity Available
Suppose your electrical plug is not inserted fully into the socket. In that case, it will most likely become loose and unplugged, resulting in your refrigerator’s power loss. One simple fix to your refrigerator not working is to ensure it is plugged in before searching for other problems.
6| Location
Surprisingly the location of your refrigerator has an impact on the way that it functions. Having hot appliances near your refrigerator, like a dishwasher or microwave, it will affect its cooling abilities. Your refrigerator’s cooling ability will suffer if it is in a location like a garage or a kitchen that is excessively hot or cold.
7| Uneven Ground
Most homeowners don’t realize that a refrigerator’s cooling capacity could be ruined by your refrigerator being on the level. If the refrigerator’s side-to-side level is uneven, it will throw everything off and prevent the cooling system from operating correctly.
In-home Dryer Repair
When one of your appliances isn’t working right, you can look for clues to try to solve the problem. These clues often fall into one or two categories. What is working and what is not working?
When it comes to your dryer, make sure you check every aspect of the appliance to see what is working. If your dryer turns on, rotates, and runs for the right amount of time, then you could diagnose a heating issue. If the dryer won’t rotate, then that leads to other problems.
Common Causes for Dryer Repair:
1| The lint trap is full. Having your dryer’s lint trap full is not only a fire hazard but can also delay the drying process. Some dryers will even turn off the heating elements to prevent a fire if the lint is full.
2| Tripped Breaker. Most dryers work off of two Breakers, one for the motor and one for the heating element. One breaker may have tripped, and you have the motor but no heat. This is something we will check for.
3| Dryer Settings. This can be the easiest problem to fix. Someone before you may have changed your dryer settings, making you think your heating element has gone out. Change your setting back and see how it works, then. If it still doesn’t seem right, call Atlanta Appliance for dryer repair.
4| Broken Heating Element. This is part of the dryer that can break and actually cause your dryer to stop heating.
5| No Gas Powering the Dryer. Another fix for your dryer that doesn’t require a technician to come out would ensure that you paid your gas bill and that the gas elements are working correctly. Call your local gas company to ensure that the bill has gone through. If it has and you are still experiencing issues, a technician will come out to inspect further.
6| Broken Thermal Fuse. When you have a broken thermal fuse, it is the heating element that is still working, but the device isn’t doing its job. This is something that can be fixed, and we will have your dryer up and running again shortly.
7| Your Thermostat is Broken. If your dryer seems to be getting heat but not enough heat, there could be an issue with the thermostat. It could be reporting temperatures that are too high or too low, causing the dryer to continue to run or not run long enough.
In-home Dishwasher Repair
Is your dishwasher not letting you sit back and relax while the dishes are being washed? It’s never an exciting time to have an appliance broken down or running poorly, but that is why Atlanta Appliance Services provides local appliance repair and can come to you at your earliest convenience.
Common dishwasher problems:
1 |Leaking dishwasher. There are a few things that could cause your dishwasher to leak. A damaged drain hose, a bad door seal, and a faulty pump or pump seal are the common problems with a leaking dishwasher.
Overloading the dishwasher can also cause occasional leaking. You can also look for information online on how to load your dishwasher properly if nothing else seems to be the problem.
2| Dirty dishes after a cycle. Having dirty dishes after a cycle has already run can be frustrating. This can be caused by overloading your dishwasher or using the wrong detergent. The first thing you can do is check your dishwasher’s manual for the best detergent to use and switch that up. If that doesn’t work, you may need a technician to come out and inspect the issue further. It could be due to error codes, power surges, and more.
3 |Dishwasher is fully draining. This problem is often due to the drainage system of your dishwasher. Improper drainage causes a big mess, to say the least. Leaks like this will cause bacterial growth in and outside of your dishwasher.
