Refrigerator Repairs
A refrigerator is one of the hardest-working appliances in your home. It runs day and night, 365 days a year, to keep your food fresh.
If you notice that your refrigerator is not keeping up with its duties, it may be time for a repair. Fortunately, the majority of refrigerator problems can be resolved with a little patience and knowledge about the appliance.
For example, a door gasket that does not fit properly can leak water and cause your fridge to lose efficiency. Replace it with a gasket made specifically for the model you own.
Another potential problem is a clogged defrost drain that leads out of your freezer. Remove the drain tube and clean it thoroughly with hot water to clear out any obstructions.
The condenser coils that are located at the back of your refrigerator should be vacuumed every six months. This will help the fridge stay cool without working as hard.
Washer Repairs
Washers are one of the most complex appliances you’ll own. They require water, pumps, hoses, drains, drums, switches, sensors and control panels to operate.
Despite the complexity, there are several washer repairs you can make yourself. These are a great way to save money and keep your appliance in good working condition.
Some are so simple that even the mechanically challenged can perform them, while others require a technician. For instance, if you are having trouble with your washer not filling or draining properly, check the fill hoses and drain hoses to see if they are connected securely.
The problem may be a loose plug, which could be caused by animals or fallen objects. Another possibility is a blown fuse or circuit breaker.
Dryer Repairs
Dryer repairs are among the most common and most expensive appliance issues that consumers encounter, but they can be fixed by a professional. At Appliance Repair Services of Saint Louisville OH, we offer dryer repairs that are safe and comprehensive.
Typical dryer repair costs start around $150, including diagnosis, parts and labor. However, repair costs vary based on the issue and how long it takes to fix the appliance.
If your dryer doesn’t heat up, it could have a broken heating element or thermostat. It might also be the result of a clogged vent or gas flow problem.
Replacing a dryer’s drum can cost from $100 to $200, depending on how badly it is damaged. This part is critical to the dryer’s performance, and it helps to distribute heat evenly throughout the clothes to prevent bunching up.
