Q1: Info About Refrigerator Repair

A1:Over 95% of all refrigerator repairs have nothing to do with Freon! A common misconception is that refrigerator repairs always have something to do with the sealed system (Freon.) This is just simply not true! We tell you how to diagnose sealed system troubles, but we recommend you call a professional for these problems. And even if it does turn out that you have a sealed system problem, at least you can save yourself a diagnosis charge, and make an informed decision as to whether or not to have the fridge repaired! Tired of reading complex thermodynamic theory in a refrigerator manual? Don't you really just want to know basically how the bloomin' thing works, and then get on with fixing it? Our refrigerator manual cuts out all the unnecessary theory and sealed system repairs that the novice will never perform. Instead, we focus on diagnosis and repair procedures for the most common symptoms, such as no cooling, ice or water buildup, noisy operation, electrical troubles, etc. Covers Whirlpool / Kenmore / Coldspot, GE / Hotpoint, JC Penney, Amana, Norge, Westinghouse, Philco, Frigidaire, Gibson, Kelvinator, Montgomery Ward, Signature and most other major brands.

Q1: Info About Microwave Repair

A1:Microwaves are like light waves. Microwaves can pass through some things, are absorbed by some things and reflected by other things. Light can pass through clear glass, is absorbed by dark objects (like black upholstery in a car) and is reflected by light objects (like white upholstery). When microwaves pass through something, like glass, they do not have an affect on it. When they are reflected, such as by metal, they also have no affect on the object. But when they are absorbed, like light being absorbed by the black upholstery, heat is generated. One difference with microwaves is that they penetrate food and so cooking occurs throughout, whereas light waves do not penetrate and so heat from the outside inward. *Note that glass and metal actually do absorb some microwaves and heat up because the glass and metal we use is neither perfectly transparent nor perfectly reflective. Most of the heat they pick up in the microwave is through heat conducted from the food itself.

Q1:Info About Freezer Repair

A1:A freezer doesn't actually cool things, it removes the heat from them. You probably don't want a physics lesson but may wonder where the "cold" comes from. So here is a little bit more physics. When a gas goes from a state of high pressure to a state of low pressure, the temperature of the gas drops. Your freezer is circulating a gas from high pressure to low pressure over and over again. Your freezer has a compressor and a closed system of tubing that contains a gas (the refrigerant). The compressor pumps the refrigerant and compresses it. The refrigerant flows through the coils on the back or under the freezer and through an expansion valve to the inside of the freezer. As the refrigerant passes through the expansion valve the pressure drops and so does the temperature.

Q1: Info About Stove Repair

A1: Gas and electric ranges and ovens operate fairly simply, and they're usually easy to repair, mainly because the components are designed for quick disassembly. Most of the malfunctions that affect gas ranges involve the supply and ignition of gas in the burners and the oven. Most malfunctions that affect electric ranges and ovens involve faulty heating elements. In this article, we'll discuss how the main parts should work on gas and electric ranges and ovens and how to service them regularly to avoid larger, more expensive problems. The first step is taking a peek inside to assess the problem.

Q1: Info About Dishwasher Repair

A1: In order to diagnose a problem with your dishwasher, it helps to list the symptoms and narrow down the possibilities. The following table contains a list of common symptoms for a malfunctioning dishwasher. Locate the symptom your appliance is exhibiting and to the right is a list of some possible causes. The same cause may have multiple symptoms, so if you find the same cause for multiple symptoms of dishwasher, that is a good place to start. In general, the causes are listed in the order of the ease of testing / repair or the likelihood of it being the cause of the problem.

Q1: Info About Electric Cook Top Repair

A1: An electric cooktop is a cooking appliance that uses surface heating elements powered by electricity. The heating elements are controlled by switches that regulate the electric current reaching the heating elements. An electric cooktop operates on a 240/120-volt circuit--240 volts for the heating elements and 120 volts for the clock, light, and other accessories. An electric cooktop may be part of a large appliance called an electric range or stove that also includes an electric oven. The control system for an electric cooktop may include a motorized timer and lots of dials, or it may be all digital.

Q1: Info About Washer Repair

A1: Washing machines get clothing clean by plunging the clothes through the water and detergent mixture. It is the motion that really helps to loosen dirt. In the old days, they used to beat wet clothes against a rock to get them clean. In top loading machines the agitator twists back and forth pulling the clothes down to the bottom of the tub. The clothes then work their way back up to the top where the agitator grabs them again. In a front loading machine, the clothes tumble and are plunged into the water over and over again. After the water is pumped out, the inner drum uses centrifugal force to wring out more water from the clothes by spinning at several hundred RPMs.

Q1: About Garbage Disposal Repair

A1: Before making repairs, unplug the garbage disposer or shut off the power at the fuse box or breaker panel to avoid injury. Turn off the disposer. Reach under the sink to the disposer and feel for a small, slightly recessed button. The button may be on the bottom or the side of the unit. Press the button all the way in. Now plug the disposer back into the outlet or turn on the breaker and turn on the disposer. If it runs, job done. If it hums, it is jammed, read on. If it makes no sound at all it may be jammed or there may be another problem. First, check if the circuit breaker tripped or the fuse blew. Next, test the outlet to make sure you are getting power. If you are getting power, unplug the disposer and check the electrical connections of the cord to the appliance. If it all checks out, the motor may be burned out and you will have to replace the motor or the entire disposer.

Q1: Info About Dryer Repair

A1: A dryer is simply a large drum into which wet laundry is loaded. A motor with pulleys -- connected by a series of belts -- turns the drum. Air heated by a gas heater or electric heating element is blown through the drum to dry the laundry. The temperature and speed of the drum are controlled by a series of thermostats operated from a timer device on the control panel of the dryer. As a safety device, a dryer usually has a door switch that activates the working parts. Unless the door is properly closed, the dryer won't work, regardless of the settings on the control panel. Many dryers are equipped with a reset button on the control panel. If the motor won't run, let the dryer cool for about ten minutes. Then push the reset button. If there are no problems with the motor, switches, or electrical system, this should restart the dryer. If not, then your machine will need some repair. In this article, we'll discuss how you can handle minor service problems on your own. In order to assess what's wrong, you will need to disassemble the dryer so you can take a look inside.

Q1: Info About Ice Maker Repair

A1: There are three common styles of ice maker; modular, flex-tray and component (aka compact). The flex-tray uses a twisting force to free the ice from the flexible tray. This style of ice maker is not found as often anymore and is not covered specifically in this site, although some of our articles are relevant to this style. The other two styles use a metal ice mold with an electric heater to loosen the ice and both are substantially similar in operation. Water travels from a tap, usually under the kitchen sink or behind the refrigerator, to the back of the fridge. Water lines are commonly copper or plastic tubing. The water line connects to the water inlet valve, which controls the flow of water. When the inlet valve receives electrical current from the ice maker, the solenoid on the valve is triggered and allows water to flow. Water travels through the outbound water line into the freezer and into the ice mold. The cycling of most ice makers is initiated by a thermostat attached to the ice mold. It monitors the temperature of the mold and when it drops to a preset temperature, the thermostat signals the ice maker to begin an ice making cycle. The motor turns the ejector blades which rotate until they contact the ice. Because the ice is frozen to the mold, it cannot be pushed out and the motor stalls. As the blades continue to press on the ice, the ice mold heater begins heating the mold. Once the ice loosens the ejector motor turns, the mold heater shuts off and the ice is pushed out.

Q1: Info About Wine Cooler Repair

A1: Wine coolers keep wine at a set temperature that will best preserve and allow the wine to age. In most cellars wine is kept at the optimal temperature depending on the wine kept. A wine cooler should not be confused with the beverage of the same name. Rather, this article refers to the home accessory also known as a wine cooler, which resembles a refrigerator. These wines are not to be stored in the cooler, but simply kept there periodically before serving to chill them.

Q1: Info About Air Conditioning Repair

A1: Air conditioner doesn't cool A central air conditioner that runs but doesn't cool may just need to be cleaned. Plan to do this on a relatively warm day. The following are basic guidelines, but always refer to your owner's manual.

1) Before you begin, turn off the power to the unit. There is normally a shut-off or disconnect panel on the house wall next to the outdoor compressor. Also shut off the air conditioner's 240-volt circuit at the main electrical panel.

2) Rake leaves and debris away from the outdoor condenser. Trim any bushes that might block airflow.

3) Unscrew and remove protective grilles and the top cover or grille from the compressor. If the fan is attached to the grille, be careful not to pull any wires loose.

4) Use a soft brush to clean dirt and debris from the fins, and then vacuum the fins with a brush attachment (taking care not to damage the fins).

5) From inside the unit, use a hose and nozzle with a trigger-grip to spray debris from the fins (protect the wiring and motor with plastic sheeting or a large plastic garbage bag). If your owner's manual calls for lubricating the motor, do that now--but don't overlubricate.

6) Reassemble the unit.

7) To test it, turn the thermostat to "Off," reset the power at the disconnect by the compressor and the main panel, and then set the thermostat to turn the unit on. Important note: To avoid straining an air conditioner's compressor, wait at least five minutes between turning it off at the thermostat and turning it back on. Let it run for a few minutes, and then feel the two pipes that connect to the condenser unit on the air handler (slide any insulation back). One should feel warm, the other cool.

A refrigerator is one of the few appliances in your home that runs continuously, day or night, keeping your food cold. If you consider how hard a refrigerator has to work, it is actually quite amazing that they break down so infrequently. On the rare occasion your refrigerator does stop working, you may face a high repair bill and the expense of replacing all your lost food. Have no fear! This article is here to tell you everything you need to know about repairing your refrigerator and freezer yourself. You might be surprised to learn that repairs are actually quite easy, requiring only a little knowledge about the appliance and a little patience. Let's get started with some basic information. Refrigerators and freezers consist of two basic components: a condenser coil and an evaporator coil. A liquid coolant is circulated through these coils by a compressor and a motor.

Home appliances are electrical/mechanical appliances which accomplish some household functions, such as cooking or cleaning. There is an increasing trend to network home appliances together, and combine their controls and key functions. For instance, energy distribution can be managed more evenly so that when the washing machine is on, the oven can go into a delayed start mode, or vice versa. Or, a washing machine and dryer may share information about load characteristics (gentle/normal, light/full), and synchronize their finish times so the wet laundry does not have to wait before being put in the dryer.A refrigerator (often called a "fridge" for short) is a cooling appliance comprising a thermally insulated compartment and a heat pump—chemical or mechanical means—to transfer heat from it to the external environment, cooling the contents to a temperature below ambient.
