Washer And Dryer Repair
Common dryer repair problems involve dryers that won't work at all, dryers that won't tumble, slow drying, overheating or a lack of heat in the dryer. Here are a few basic dryer repairs you can perform while you wait for a professional dryer repair service to arrive at your home. If your clothes dryer doesn't run at all, make sure that the appliance is plugged in properly. Check if the power outlet is functioning by using the voltage tester or by plugging in any other appliance. Many electric dryers require a 240 volt receptacle to work. If there is nothing with the power, check the power cord, and if necessary, replace it. If there is nothing wrong here too, open the dryer door, and check if the door switch clicks each time you release it. If there is no clicking noise, then you may have a broken door switch. Call a dryer repair professional to replace the switch.
In case of a dryer that makes a lot of noise, but doesn't tumble, look for any parts of the dryer that have become loose. Look for defective parts of the dryer like a faulty support roller, worn out motor bearings, a defective drum belt that may be causing the noise. Call a trusted dryer repair service to replace these parts. If there is a lack of heating in the dryer, again look to see if the dryer is receiving enough power. In case your gas dryer begins to smell of natural gas, turn off the gas valve immediately, as well as the main gas supply line in the house. Open all doors and windows, and then make a call to your gas supplier. A dryer that's too slow may not be properly vented. Make sure that the vent duct is clean, and place the dryer away from the valve or any other obstruction. Dryers may also not function properly if there is a clog in the internal duct work. These clogs usually need extensive disassembling of the unit, and you are better off calling a dryer repair professional to clean the duct work.
In case of a washing machine that doesn't run, make sure that it's plugged in properly. If the washer doesn't fill with water, there may be a blockage in the water inlet screen. Get these cleaned, or replaced. There could also be a broken timer or temperature selector, and these can be repaired by a washing machine repair service. A washing machine that stops mid cycle can be fixed by removing some items of clothing, which reduces the load on the motor. If the washing machine shakes or makes noise, check if the feet are properly level on the floor. For any other kind of washing machine repairs, it's best to call a qualified repair person.

The dishwasher (Whirlpool) will not stay running. I push the door in and it starts to run, but then stops... I suspect it is the locking mechanism - needs to be adjusted or replaced. Thanks |
