So, why are people in a rush to fix their appliances as soon as possible? The answer number one is a refrigerator. Yes, we all have this wonder box in our houses, and the last thing we want to have is spoiled food and leaking water from the refrigerator.


Based on nowadays food prices we may assume, that the average cost of food inside refrigerator for one family is about 500-700 dollars and over. Plus, at least the same 500-700 for new food if all previous were spoiled. Toal is 1-1.5k for food.



This is the first and probably the main reason, why people want to fix their refrigerators same day and search in Google main keywords like appliance repairs near me or appliance repair phone number.


Refrigerator repair is somehow easy for experienced technicians and quite complicated for inexperienced customers. If you have ever been to the coastline and have a chance to see how people surf and catch waves it may look easy from the land, but only experienced people know how it is complicated.


The same with refrigerators. Many hours were invested into knowledge and work experience before technicians got to the professional level and became able to provide professional diagnoses of noncooling refrigerators.


Dryer Appliance Repair.

The simplicity of dryer construction helps technicians to fix almost any dryer on the same day.

Here are a few typical issues with dryers, that we see daily.




Excessive Noise.

You love your dryer, yes. But hearing it all the time? Not at all. If your dryer begins to make noise excessively, such as thumping noises, humming, or even squeaking, it could indicate several issues. One of the most common has to do with overloading. Another stems from the glides. These are located around the drum to help it turn smoothly. As they begin to wear, the tumble gets noisier.


Another reason for excessive noise is a bad blower wheel or drum support roller. The first tunnels the air and exhaust while the latter holds the drum in place as it turns – and both can cause the dryer to make disruptive noise.


A noisy dryer is often a simple fix, but best left up to a repair company.


Dryer Won’t Run At All.


The reason for your dryer not running at all could be a long list of common problems. Of course, you will always want to make sure that your dryer is plugged in properly and that there is power to the outlet. You may think that there is no way your dryer could be unplugged, but you’d be surprised at how often this is the cause. If it gets moved around at all or if something falls on the cord, it can pull the cord out of the outlet.


If all of these things check out and your dryer still won’t run at all, then it is time to call in the professionals. There could be many reasons why it isn’t working – and all usually involve various internal components.


Drum Isn’t Spinning.


The drum in your dryer turns your clothes so that the heat can reach all areas as it works to dry them. And when it doesn’t work, you can’t use your dryer. This is a very common dryer problem and it usually results from a broken belt.


You could purchase the belt designed for your dryer and try to replace it yourself. But, this can be a tricky repair that is often best left to a professional. Besides, a bad roller or motor problems could also cause this problem.


Dryer is Not Heating Up.


Did you know your dryer can be a trickster? It sure can – especially when it spends an hour running only to surprise you with wet, air-fluffed clothes when it is finished. Without the heat, drying just doesn’t work. Here’s what to do.


First, check your settings. Sometimes the buttons or knobs can get bumped and turn off the heat. Next, make sure you have proper ventilation. That means do not overload the unit – and keep your lint screens cleaned out.


If your settings are fine and your lint screen has been cleaned out, but you still have no heat, it could be due to the thermal fuse or heating element. As a precaution, the fuse is in place to keep the dryer from overheating. So, when it breaks, your dryer will often no longer heat. This is a problem that is best to be handled by a professional for safety reasons.


Oven and Range Appliance Repair.

Nowadays many people follow the common and very good trend of a healthy life and try to cook at home. Also, cooking at home helps to save a lot of money for a family budget.


One of the reasons, why range and oven are highly successful to repair is a wiring diagram. Any range or oven has an electric wiring printed diagram, which is usually hidden inside the unit.


The wiring diagram is like an x-ray, which helps to see what exactly is broken inside the range or oven.

At the same time, you may check the next few technical issues, that typically happen with ranges or ovens.
