Many companies have not been able to secure adequate liability insurance at any cost. You should insist that any appliance service you do business with will provide you with the evidence of insurance. This will cover you for damages to your property. Our certificate of insurance is available at any time for review.

APPLIANCES TIPS
Dryers
You rush into the laundry room to grab your favorite shirt; you open the dryer and stick your hand in…UGH! What’s that cold, wet thing? Suddenly, you realize, it’s your SHIRT! Okay, something is definitely wrong here.
Take a deep breath and consider this:
Maybe it’s simply that your dryer vent is clogged with lint! Then clean the lint from your machine — and VOILA! You’re back in business! I’m not kidding! Then, to avoid a repeat, follow these simple tips:
| • |
Clean your lint filter after every dryer load, with your bare hands! |
| • | Remove lint in harder-to-reach areas around the dryer filter with a nifty tool |
| • | Clean lint buildup from the dryer vents using a bigger nifty tool designed to get into longer duct-type areas. |
It takes a long time to dry clothes.
- Check to see if the door is totally closed.
- Check the filter. It must be cleaned every single time of use.
- Check the venting pipe. It must be free of lint and allow enough air flow.
Washer
I’m getting ready for dinner, when I hear this overwhelming rumbling noise—the house is shaking! I try to imagine what it could be:
Then I realize it’s coming from the laundry room…
Oh, NO! Can’t I get just ONE appliance that works? As I round the corner, I can see that my washing machine is doing some sort of “dance”. I run over and switch it to the OFF position.
A washer can vibrate strongly during the spin cycle--it needs to be leveled. So try this:
| • |
First, adjust the front legs to the proper height and tighten the lock nut up against the body of the machine to keep the leg from rotating. The legs should be secured but screwed up inside the machine as far as possible to lower the center of gravity of the entire unit to reduce chances of the machine “dancing”. |
| • | If the machine has "self-adjusting" rear legs, tilt the entire machine forward onto its front legs (with the rear legs 3 to 4 inches off the floor) and then set the machine back down, and the legs should adjust automatically. |
| • | If the rear legs won’t budge, you may need to tilt the machine forward and rap on the rear legs with the handle of a hammer to loosen them—this may require help. |
It does not spin.
- If the door switch is broken, it will not allow the washer to spin.
It fills and drains at the same time.
- The drain hose probably is not high enough. It must be at least 3' above the floor level.
It has a leak.
- Fill up the machine and then visually check the hoses and tube. Make sure that you are using the right amount of soap.
Refrigerators
1. Improve efficiency, save money, and increase refrigerator’s lifespan: A refrigerator runs more efficiently with clean coils and tight seals. At least once a year, use a condenser brush and clean the coils and cooling fan. Vacuum the lint, pet hair, etc. under and around the fridge. Use a little detergent with water and an old toothbrush to clean the door seals (also known as “gaskets”) to make sure the door is closing tightly. Replace seals that have cracks and tears—to prevent cool air from escaping and reduce running times for the fridge.
2. Learn your degrees: An ideal temperature for a refrigerator is between 36 degrees and 38 degrees F. The freezer should be between 0 degrees and 8 degrees F. A fridge can be placed in a garage or storage room that isn’t colder that 50 degrees F. If temperatures drop too low, components can be affected.
3. Know your limits: Refrigerators work best if not packed full. If air flow becomes restricted, cooling capabilities are limited. With modern fridges, it might take a day for cooler temperatures to return when a fresh load of groceries is added. However, by contrast, keep the freezer full (or at a minimum, half full) for better efficiency. Just take care not to block air vents.
It is not cold enough or warm.
- Check the thermostat. It must be adjusted to the recommended setting of the factory.
- The door gasket must be soft and sealed all around.
- The refrigerator light bulb may be staying on all the time. Check the door switch.
- The refrigerator temperature should range between 35°F to 41°F.
It is freezing.
- Most likely the thermostat is stuck. In this case the compressor runs all the time. The thermostat must be replaced fast to prevent the compressor from burning.
Dishwasher
Here are some things to look for, along with some real solutions:
| 1. |
Was the dishwasher properly loaded? – Get out your owner’s manual and read the section called: “How to properly load your dishwasher”. Believe it or not, there are some “tricks” that can make a huge difference in how the machine cleans your dishes. |
| 2. | Is there a hole in the silverware basket? This allows pieces of silverware to fall through and catch on the wash arm as it tries to turn, preventing it from doing its job. |
Ice Makers
- First, review the basics: An ice maker is a small appliance that operates inside your freezer—usually independent of the other refrigerator systems. The ice maker’s water comes from a valve at the back of the refrigerator, outside, toward the bottom.
2. Add on an ice maker: Most refrigerators made in the past 20 years are wired to accommodate an add-on ice maker. The best ice maker is the one designed for your particular refrigerator series. An ice maker can produce a new batch of ice usually within 75 to 120 minutes—and the cloudy appearance of the ice is only due to entrapped air bubbles.
3. Make tasty ice cubes: Household water can taste good to drink but may not make a tasty ice cube—until you add a water filter. Water filters should be changed once or twice a year, depending on frequency of use. Ice cubes can pick up refrigerator odors (e.g., from open food containers). Empty and clean the ice cube bin occasionally and start again with a fresh batch of ice cubes.
Air Conditioners (Window and Through-Wall Units)
- Wait 10 minutes: Do not turn the air conditioner off and then back on right away. Wait at least 10 minutes after shutting the unit off to allow the refrigerant gas pressure in the system to equalize. This extends the compressor’s lifespan.
2. Take time to clean: Each month the air conditioner is in operation, clean or replace the air filter. Every year, clean the condenser coils (on the back of the unit) and the base of the air conditioner—which may require opening up the cabinet. Although most moisture evaporates, some water may sit stagnant—developing mold and mildew. NOTE: DO NOT drill a hole in the bottom of the unit to drain the condensate water—it helps cool the condenser coil.
3. Check the temperature: The difference in temperature between the room air coming into the unit and the cold air blowing out should be more than 15 degrees, any less and the unit may need cleaning or servicing. Run the A/C all year long—if the temperature inside and out is warmer than 60 degrees. If colder than 60 degrees, turn the unit off so the cooling coil does not freeze.
