Washing Machine Repair
Washer problems can be messy because water, drainage and movement all happen in the same cycle. A leak may come from a hose, valve, pump, door boot, dispenser or tub seal. A washer that will not drain or spin may have a pump blockage, lid lock issue, pressure sensor problem, belt/motor failure or control fault.
Common symptoms
- Standing water after the cycle
- Washer shakes, bangs or walks
- Leaks during fill, wash or drain
- Door locked, cycle stuck or error code
What we inspect
- Drain pump and filter area
- Water inlet valves and hoses
- Door lock, lid switch and sensors
- Motor, belt, suspension and control board
Quick check: Do not keep restarting a leaking or overflowing washer. Shut off the water supply and book service to prevent floor damage.

Clothes Dryer Repair
If your dryer needs two or three cycles, the first thing to consider is airflow. Poor venting makes the dryer run hotter, longer and less efficiently. If airflow is clear, the problem can be the heating element, gas igniter, thermal fuse, thermostat, moisture sensor, motor, belt, rollers or control board.
Common symptoms
- No heat or weak heat
- Clothes come out damp
- Dryer overheats or smells hot
- Loud squeaking, grinding or thumping
- Dryer starts then shuts off
What we inspect
- Vent airflow and lint path
- Heating system or gas ignition
- Thermal fuse and high-limit safety parts
- Motor, belt, rollers and drum support
- Moisture sensors and controls
Quick check: Clean the lint screen and make sure the outside vent flap opens. If dry time is still long, schedule diagnosis before the dryer overheats.

Refrigerator Repair
A refrigerator can fail gradually. Food may start spoiling faster, the freezer may frost up, the compressor may run constantly, or you may notice water under the unit. These symptoms can involve airflow, defrost, door seals, sensors, fans, controls, valves, drains or sealed-system components.
Common symptoms
- Fresh food section is warm
- Freezer is too warm or too icy
- Water leaking inside or under the unit
- Loud fan noise or clicking
- Ice maker stopped making ice
What we inspect
- Condenser and evaporator airflow
- Fans, sensors and temperature controls
- Defrost heater, thermostat and board
- Drain line, water valve and ice maker
- Door gaskets and cabinet alignment
Quick check: Make sure the doors close fully and the condenser area is not packed with dust. If temperatures do not recover, book service.

Cooking guide
Oven Repair

Common symptoms
- Oven does not heat
- Slow preheat or weak broil
- Temperature does not match setting
- Food cooks unevenly
- Control display or buttons fail
What we inspect
- Bake and broil elements
- Gas igniter and safety valve
- Temperature sensor and thermostat
- Door seal and heat loss points
- Relay/control board and wiring
Quick check: Compare oven temperature with a simple oven thermometer. Large swings or slow heating usually need diagnosis.

- Clicking does not stop
- Weak or uneven flame
- Electric element not heating
- Knob or switch feels loose
What we inspect
- Spark switches and ignition module
