Common Appliances that Need Fixing

There are some appliances that homeowners report more trouble with than others, and knowing which these are is important so that potential buyers know which appliances they should be researching before purchasing. While in-depth research won’t reduce the chance of the appliance failing to zero, it does lessen the odds of buying a short-lived product. The most common appliances in need of repair are:

•  Freezers

Common freezer problems include frost buildup inside the freezer, the freezer not running, the freezer making noise, and the freezer’s interior lights not working.

• Refrigerators

Common refrigerator problems include dispensers that won’t dispense ice or water, water leaking, the refrigerator not cooling, ice build ups, and the refrigerator making noise.

• Ranges

Common range problems include parts of the range not turning on or off, issues with the range vent hood, and the oven not heating up properly.

• Washing Machines

Common washing machine problems include the washing machine leaking, not running, not draining properly, smelling, and vibrating when it shouldn’t.

• Dryers

Common dryer problems include the dryer making strange noises, not heating up, not running, and other issues that result in clothes not drying.

• Dishwashers

Common dishwasher problems include the dishwasher not draining, running too long, not completely cleaning dishes, and leaving spots on dishes.

• Microwaves

Common microwave problems include the microwave not heating, stopping randomly, and the light inside the microwave not working.

The Benefits of Appliance Repairs

One of the biggest benefits of getting faulty appliances fixed is that it saves money. More often than not it is cheaper to repair a broken appliance than buy an entirely new unit, especially if the problem is minor and can be fixed without hiring a professional. A properly working appliance also ensures that owners won’t be spending money on electricity for a product that doesn’t do its job.

Another reason for getting a broken appliance fixed is safety. A sparking microwave is a definite fire hazard and a freezer not freezing properly can lead to spoiled food, which can lead to food poisoning. Appliances malfunctioning dangerously should be repaired as soon as possible.

A functioning appliance is a convenient tool whereas a malfunctioning one is the exact opposite and can cause unnecessary stress and waste time. Instead of stressing over a dryer not drying clothes the way it should, get it repaired and use the time saved from the clothes being dried in a timely manner to engage in more productive activities.

The need for appliance repairs can be minimized by properly taking care of appliances according to their instruction manuals as well as researching before buying so that buyers are certain the products they pick is best for them.

DIY vs. Professional

When it comes to appliance repairs, there are clear cases where DIY is the better option just like there are obvious cases where hiring a professional is the better choice.

DIY repair jobs are best for quick fixes where the solutions are simple and tutorials can be found online. Those who are moderately experienced in repair jobs can consider taking on more challenging work, for example replacing a thermostat, especially if they have the time and the materials.

It is best to hire a professional for appliances that have severe problems and an Asurion Texas expert is needed to get to the root of the issue. In these cases, a professional repair job will promise a long-term fix, and a single long-term fix saves more money in the end than many short-term fixes. However, if a replacement is absolutely necessary then the professional will be able to explain why and provide quality suggestions. Professionals are also the better option when it comes to repair jobs that can be potentially dangerous, for instance those that require handling electricity, or for jobs that would be particularly time consuming. Due to professionals being experienced in their field, they will be able to troubleshoot quickly and deal with the issue in a timely manner, saving time that an owner might have wasted trying to repair an appliance on their own.

As always when hiring an external service, it is important to check reviews to make sure that the workers are reputable people who can get the job done right. It is also important to communicate with the hired service so that they know exactly what problem they should be looking out for and so that there are no problems caused by miscommunication. Above all, it is critical to find a technician that has the necessary qualifications and is responsible.
