Appliance Troubleshooting Tips

A few quick checks before you schedule a service visit — sometimes the fix is simpler than it looks.

Refrigerator Troubleshooting Tips

  • Make sure the refrigerator is plugged in
  • Check that the temperature controls are set correctly
  • Clean dust from the condenser coils if accessible
  • Confirm that the doors are sealing properly
  • Avoid blocking airflow vents inside the refrigerator

If cooling problems continue, the refrigerator may require professional diagnosis.

Washer Troubleshooting Tips

  • Make sure the washer is properly plugged in
  • Check that the circuit breaker has not tripped
  • Confirm the water supply valves are turned on
  • Make sure the washer lid or door is fully closed
  • Check for an unbalanced load inside the drum

If the washer still won't start, drain, or spin properly, the appliance may require professional repair.

Dryer Troubleshooting Tips

  • Make sure the dryer is plugged in
  • Check the circuit breaker or fuse
  • Clean the lint filter
  • Inspect the dryer vent for blockages
  • Ensure the dryer door is fully closed

If the dryer is still not heating or taking too long to dry clothes, a component inside the appliance may need repair.

Oven and Range Troubleshooting Tips

  • Make sure the appliance is receiving power
  • Verify that the temperature settings are correct
  • Check that burners are properly seated on electric cooktops

If burners will not ignite or the oven will not heat properly, the appliance may require professional repair.
