Safeguard Your Fridge and Your Finances by
Knowing When to Call in a Refrigerator Repair
Specialist

• When the problem is related to frost build up or
  improper temperature, the solution is to align
  and tighten door hinges, replace a worn door
  switch or replace a worn door gasket. However,
  these are much simpler tasks to handle. More
  complex problems include having to deal with
  intricacies such as the internal components of
  the refrigerator. A good example is in the
  replacement of the limit switch. The limit switch
  is found on frost-free refrigerators and freezers
  and is responsible for keeping the defrost
  heating element from exceeding a certain
  temperature.
• Another aspect where the specialist is
  indispensable is in the event of a short circuit
  which occurs during tests involving the
  thermostat control mounted in the refrigerator.
  Short circuits require the attention of trained
  personnel as an attempt to handle an electrical
  issue of this magnitude may lead to severe
  electric shock.

• Other areas of the refrigerator which when
  affected will require the refrigerator repair
  specialist include
• Compressors and motors are sealed off in tightly
  contained unit and must not be removed by
  non-specialists so as to avoid escalation of the
  already existing problems.
• Coolant leaks are recognized by their odor and
  must not be handled without prior knowledge.
• Drain ports In case of a draining problem, it is
  always best to seek the help of a refrigerator
  repair specialist especially so as to take the
  involved components apart and resolve the
  draining problem.
• Evaporator fan When there is a problem with the
  evaporator fan, the fridge will not cool as well
  as it ought to. The first thought would be to
  straighten out the fan blades and then ensure the
  refrigerator door switch is in good working
  condition. If these do not resolve the issue,
  then an appliance repair specialist must be
  called upon.

Key Signs It's Not Your Cooking, You Just Need
Professional Oven Repair

• Inconsistent food preparation
• Timers are not working as they should
• Temperature gauges are not working
• Difficulty in getting the machine to reach
  specific temperature without fluctuating
• Lack of heat
• The issue may also involve the stove top. Many a
  time, we make the mistake of thinking it is only
  the inside of the appliance that is in need of
  extra attention throughout its lifespan. However,
  the truth is that any part of the appliance may
  face wear and tear over time and that includes
  the stove top. The problem may be that the
  igniters of the stove top are faulty. To confirm
  this, you should inspect the overall heat
  distribution and if found to be uneven, a
  professional repair should be sought.
• Other ways by which one can tell whether or not
  the igniters are in good working condition
  include delayed reactions, not being able to
  light them or struggling to keep them lit when
  you eventually get them lit. When any of the
  above is noticed, a company offering
  comprehensive services should be sought.

Dryer Repair What to Do When a Dryer Is Not
Producing Heat

• The Heating Element
• Depending on the model of the dryer as well as
  the brand, the heating element is located at the
  front or rear panel and its cool is heated up
  whenever there is a flow of electricity through
  it. With a multi-meter, we can check for
  continuity and if found to be faulty, such a
  heating element must be replaced.
• High-Limit Thermostat
• To check this part of the dryer, the power source
  must be disconnected and then with the aid of a
  multi-meter, continuity can be checked for. Where
  there is no continuity, the high-limit thermostat
  must be replaced. The vent system must also be
  put in working condition.
• The Radiant Flame Sensor
• When a faulty radiant flame sensor is the case,
  either the igniter will not glow or the gas valve
  will remain closed. Where the igniter does not
  glow, a multi-meter is again useful to check for
  continuity. However, when the gas valve does not
  open despite the igniter glowing continuously,
  the defect may be as a result of faulty
  electrical connections within the sensor. If this
  is the case, the sensor needs to be replaced.

Microwave Repair Leave It to the Professionals

• Your Health
• During the manufacture of such devices, the
  casings are put there so as to ensure the safety
  of the individual handling the device. When a
  novice tries to brave the rebuilding on their
  own, the safety factor can no longer be a
  guarantee. Even the electrical connections can be
  a risk especially when the wiring is not done
  right before putting the appliance back together.
  Electric shock may be the case of the next person
  who tries to turn such a machine on.
• The Appliance
• It is definitely not going to be enough to just
  get a screwdriver, open the appliance and then
  hope that by trial-and-error you will get the
  defect fixed. So much care was put into
  manufacturing such a device So much so that dust
  in the wrong place could lead to really grave
  complications.
• The Cost
• Taking the cheap way out sure comes with that
  smart feeling when everything turns out well. But
  do we really want to take such chances with a
  device as delicate as this one? Getting a
  professional is sure to save you the money you
  would otherwise spend in acquiring a new
  microwave oven should operation cheap fail.

Washing Machine Repair - Why DIY Repair is a Bad
Idea

• When washing machine repair is attempted without
  prior knowledge, there is a great chance of
  incurring up to twice the normal cost of hiring a
  professional because mistakes are more than
  likely to be made. Washing machine repair can,
  however, be very easy to handle as long as you
  take time to check out the many different repair
  services in your locality and what their offers
  are. This is always the better option despite how
  much you feel you can save or how well you think
  you know washing machines.
• The problems that can arise from do-it-yourself
  repair of washing machines or even by employing a
  technician who is not qualified are numerous. For
  example, your home could be flooded in the
  process. Plus, it could lead to electrical and
  fire hazards. This is why it is important to do
  your homework and get the right repair
  professionals in your locality to fix the
  problem, especially the first time the machine
  develops such a fault.
