Appliance Repair FAQs

We rely on our appliances to help us with our daily living tasks. Appliances such as our ovens, washing machines, dryers, and refrigerators are staples in our homes. They help us clean our clothes, cook our food, and store our food. These appliances are mechanical devices that are constantly being used and are under high levels of stress. The daily wear and tear of these appliances can cause numerous issues such as decreases in energy efficiency, diminished performance, and failure to function. Replacing your appliances can be very costly and repair is often the much more cost-effective solution. However, appliance repair services are usually unfamiliar to most people which leaves them with numerous questions about it. Below, we discuss some common FAQs about appliance repair services and their respective answers.

  • How do I know my washer needs repair?

    There are several clear signs that indicate your washing machine may need repair. If you notice excessive noise—such as loud banging, grinding, or unusual vibrations—this could mean parts inside the washer are loose or damaged. Additionally, if your washer isn’t draining water properly, you may be left with clothes that are overly wet or still soapy. This could point to a clog or a malfunctioning drain pump. If you’re experiencing any of these issues, it’s likely time to call a repair professional to avoid further damage and restore your washer’s efficiency. 

  • How do I know my dryer needs repair?

    There are a few common signs that indicate your dryer may need professional attention. If your dryer makes excessive noise, such as thumping, squealing, or grinding, it could mean parts inside are worn out or need adjustment, such as the drum bearings, belt, or motor. If the dryer vibrates too much while running, this could suggest an issue with the drum rollers or that the dryer isn’t balanced correctly, which may lead to further damage if ignored. Addressing these issues early on can prevent further damage and help keep your dryer operating efficiently. 

  • How do I know if I need refrigerator repair?

    The most obvious sign of a broken fridge or freezer is that the temperature is off, if it is too warm or cold, or your ice maker isn’t making ice.

  • Are washing machine repairs worth it?

    Determining this depends on the cost difference between repairs and replacement. Minor issues, such as a failing lock on the door or water leaks, are worth repairing to extend your washer's life.
