6 Common Appliance Problems

Truth is … Every appliance problem does not demand the attention of a professional appliance service. According to Jimmy Newman, owner of Ignite Miami Beach Appliance Repair, “In most cases, the repairs are easy enough that homeowners can do them on their own in no more than a few minutes.

Wait! Before you decide to call an appliance repair company in Miami Beach, FL for help, you can keep your household appliances in good shape with a lot of the tips in this post.

1. Smelly Washing Machine

A bad smell in your washer defeats the reason for owning the appliance! If you are in the process of attempting to get your clothes so they’re fresh and clean, but the washer won’t cooperate, run an cycle without clothes/laundry in warm water and pour in 2 cups of white vinegar and 1/2 cup of baking soda to remove the unpleasant smell. This issue frequently happens in front-loading washing machines. To prevent future smells, crack the door open in between washes so it can dry out.

2. Inefficient Refrigerant

A room-temperature fridge in the kitchen is never a good sign. A warm refrigerator definitely won’t keep liquids cool, and the food inside could also be in danger of spoiling! In many cases, your refrigerator won’t require professional repair; it could just need to be cleaned. Or the coils on the rear of the unit need cleaning.

Unplug the appliance and pull it far from the wall before cleaning the refrigerator coils. If you cannot see instant cooling improvement, it is best to reach out to a professional appliance repair technician in Miami Beach for a diagnosis.

3. Clicking Igniter on Stove

If the igniter on your gas-powered stove clicks and clicks and the burner does not light, look to make sure the burner lid is on tight and properly aligned. You might also experience this if you have recently had a boil over or spill on the stove top.

Otherwise, the reason is likely to be a clogged igniter. To clean the igniter on a gas-powered stove, take off the burner top and dust off any loose dirt. You can also use a clothes pin to scrape debris from the grooves. If that does not eliminate the problem, it is best not to disassemble a lighter unless you have the training; in this case hire a professional appliance repair company to determine the issue.

4. Broken Garbage Disposal

Your garbage disposal has self-protection in the form of an overload trip switch. If it is filled up, overheats, grinds for too long, or has a different problem, your disposal could simply have to be reset instead of fixed. You should be sure the power switch is turned OFF. Next, find the reset switch on the disposal unit beneath the sink and press the switch. If the switch won’t stay in, just wait a few minutes and press it again. Now, turn on the water and then press the switch on.

If the garbage disposal is filled with debris and you only hear a humming noise and not the grinding of waste, you may need to manually turn the blades with a hex key to clear the jam. Now, push in the reset button to get the garbage disposal working again. If these tips don’t get things working like normal, please don’t allow the urge to push your arms down into the blades to investigate. Be smart and schedule service with a professional appliance repairman in Miami Beach, FL.

5. No Power from Outlet

In a home’s bathroom or kitchen, the outlets need to be installed with GFCI switches to protect homeowners against harm in wet areas. If a GFCI outlet is not generating power, push in the red reset switch to see if that restores power. If it doesn’t, or if you’re trying a typical electrical outlet, make certain that a breaker hasn’t been tripped in the home’s breaker box. If you’re uncertain if a circuit breaker was tripped, flip it to the OFF position and back onto the ON position. Remember, safety near electrical outlets is a must. Should you have concerns, call a professional repairman.

6. Wobbling Washing Machine

A wobbling washing machine will create quite a loud banging and isn’t a ideal method to get wash laundry. If your washer starts banging, the unit may be broken. In order to fix this problem, turn the legs of the appliance to lift or lower each corner until it is straightened out. One other likely situation is that the washing machine is off balance. Lift open the top and move around the clothing items so they are dispersed within the drum of the appliance.

Trying this can help the washer not need to work quite as hard. If you do try to rearrange the clothing a couple of times without success, do not ignore the problem. You might have a loosened drum or motor mount on your hands, which is easy for a professional repairman to fix. But continuing to run the washing machine when it has this issue might damage some of the other pieces and cause a more significant repair down the road.
