What are the warning signs that my washing machine needs repair?

One of the most common washer problems is leaking. If there is any amount of water coming from underneath the machine or out of any other part, it is a sign of a problem. Other common signs are water not draining properly, leaving clothes soaking wet. If you notice this or any other unusual sign, contact us for repair.

My dryer seems to take longer and longer to dry my clothes. What may be the cause?

The first thing to check in this situation is the lint trap. If the lint trap is cleaned out, check the ventilation tube for lint or other blockages. If there doesn’t appear to be a clog anywhere, it could be a problem with the heating element or settings on your machine. Contact us for a service appointment.

What brands of washers and dryers do you repair?

We can service any manufacturer and model of washer or dryer on the market. We keep parts for most major brands on hand, but if we need to order a part we will do so and get it for you as quickly as possible to get your washer or dryer back up and running.

Can you repair a gas or propane dryer?

The majority of dryers use electricity, but if you happen to have a gas or propane dryer, we are able to service it just the same. We can diagnose and repair the problem as long as it is with the machine itself and not with your gas lines or tank. Your gas or propane supplier will need to handle any repairs needed on their equipment.

My dryer keeps shutting off before the cycle is complete. Should I keep restarting it?

If your dryer repeatedly shuts off in the middle of a cycle, it may be overheating and manually shutting off. Dryers have a built-in safety feature that will automatically turn the dryer off if it gets too hot. Don’t keep running your dryer if this occurs. You could be putting your home at risk of fire. Contact us to diagnose and repair the problem.

Signs It's Time to Repair Your Dishwasher

6 Signs It’s Time to Repair Your Dishwasher

Your dishwasher is an important appliance that cleans and sanitizes your tableware, cutlery, and kitchen tools. For many families, the dishwasher is a tool that enables them to keep up with mounting piles of dirty dishes. Over time, things can happen to your dishwasher that can cause it to malfunction. Here are six signs that it is time for dishwasher repair or replacement.

Your Dishes Stay Dirty

If your dishes stay dirty after going through a cycle or two in the dishwasher, there is a chance that your dishwasher is not working as well as it once did. This can be caused by a buildup or by a broken part. It can be hard to diagnose without the help of an experienced appliance repair technician. If you have tried changing the dishwashing products you use and your dishes remain dirty, there is a good chance it needs repair.

No Hot Water

Your dishwasher needs hot water to clean and sanitize dishes properly. If you run a cycle that is supposed to use hot water, but it doesn’t seem to be working effectively, there might be a problem with your dishwasher or its hot water supply. The exact problem may vary based on the model.

Dishwasher Doesn’t Drain

Your dishwasher should effectively drain during each wash cycle. This can be due to a clog or some other mechanical problem. It is extremely important to repair the dishwasher right away if your dishwasher doesn’t drain. Water that is left in the dishwasher can drain out onto your floor and damage it, as well as the kitchen appliances that are nearby. A flood can do a lot of damage to your home, even if it is a minor one.

Rust

Very old dishwashers can rust, particularly at the bottom. If you notice any rust, it is not safe to use your dishwasher to clean your plates, cutlery, and cups. It is best to have it looked at by a professional. It is possible that the rust will not be able to be removed and your best option might be to replace the dishwasher.

Cracked Components

Any cracked components should signal an immediate call to an appliance repair company. Cracked components ruin the dishwasher’s water tight seal. Water can enter the cracked components and cause them to short out. If you can get it repaired quickly, it is possible that only certain components will need to be replaced instead of the entire appliance.

Improper Door Latch

An improper door latch can be easily repaired by an appliance technician. If you force the door to your dishwasher to close even if something is causing it to stay open, you can damage the lock or the door. An improper door latch can also be a sign that something else is going on with your dishwasher.
