Points to Remember to Select the Right Technician
for Appliance Repair

• Never overlook the importance of checking
  certifications
• Hiring a certified technician is a good idea
  because they are likely to have information about
  state laws. Do not just believe them when they
  say they are certified. There is no shame in
  asking what they are capable of doing, and ask
  them to produce a certificate or license so you
  know you are hiring the right person.
• Check their Availability
• You can find many repair services online, but you
  need to be aware of their availability. Ask them
  if they will be available on a short notice or
  not. The last thing you need is to wait for hours
  until a plumber shows up to fix your leaky
  faucet. Similarly, if you have a leaky
  dishwasher, you will have your kitchen drowned if
  the technician shows up the next day of you
  making the call.
• Check their Customer Service
• Never put your money on an appliance repair
  service unless you are sure about receiving
  high-quality customer service. Moreover, the
  customer service matters once they have fixed an
  appliance but it goes bad again after a few days.
  A professional would come right away and may even
  fix the same issue free of cost.

Is there a Way to Avoid Costly Refrigerator
Repairs?

• Pay attention to coil cleaning
• If you want to increase the lifespan of your
  refrigerator and want to enhance its efficiency,
  it is advised to clean its coil twice a year.
  Usually, refrigerator coils are located at the
  bottom of the fridge or at the backside of the
  refrigerator. They are responsible for
  maintaining the inside temperature of the
  refrigerator and cooling the refrigerants. They
  are heated when supplied with electricity and do
  their job.
• Cleaning coils regularly will save your
  refrigerator service charges and will enhance its
  efficiency along with extending its estimated
  life. It will also reduce your electricity
  consumption.
• Clean the condenser fan
• Condenser fan is located near the compressor of
  the refrigerator. It circulates air to cool down
  the coils under the refrigerator. Often dirt
  particles, dust, and even paper get stuck in the
  fan which effects its performance. Sometimes the
  condenser fan even stops working due to obstacles
  in its way that increases the heating of the
  coils and thus affects the efficiency of the
  refrigerator.
• Regular cleaning of condenser fan along with
  coils will influence the efficiency of the
  refrigerator in a positive manner and will lower
  down your electricity bills by reducing power
  consumption.

Dishwasher frequently asked questions

• Are dishes required to be rinsed before placing
  in the dishwasher?
• No, you usually do not need to rinse your dishes
  before placing them in the dishwasher. You are
  only required to remove the food scrapes from
  your utensils if your dishwasher does not support
  particle removal. If your utensils are sitting
  outside for too long with hardened food
  particles, only then it is advised to soak them
  in water before placing them in the dishwasher.
• How do you load the Dishwasher to attain maximum
  benefit?
• If you want to maximize the capability of your
  dishwasher, you must follow dishwasher-loading
  guidelines.
• Which utensils can be washed safely in the
  dishwasher?
• Mostly, utensils are dishwasher safe and can be
  conveniently washed in the dishwashers but to be
  on the safe side check the dishwasher safe label
  on your utensils. While loading plastic utensils
  in the dishwasher you must be cautious as they
  can melt with the heating of the lower rack. It
  is always better to place the plastic utensils in
  the upper rack only. If your plastic containers
  are not labeled as dishwasher safe avoid washing
  them in the dishwasher.

Reasons for Malfunctioning of the Washer Spin

• The first and the most common reason that
  prevents the spinner from working is an
  inappropriate adjustment of the spinning lid. If
  the lid is not properly placed, the washer will
  not support spinning. There may be some defect
  in the lid if it is well adjusted and still spin
  cycle is not starting. Check the lid and replace
  it if needed.
• The second popular issue is related to the
  latching of the door. If the door of the washer
  is no tightly shut, it will result in
  malfunctioning of the spinner. If your washer
  does not start spin cycle, check the latching of
  its door and try to shut it again with care. If
  the problem persists, check the door for any
  cracks or defect. There could be a mechanical or
  electrical error that may lead to inappropriate
  latching of the door.
• Sometimes spinner doesn't work due to overloading
  of clothes. When the washer is overloaded it may
  damage the motor or machine transmission. To
  avoid the damage to the machine parts, motor
  coupling doesn't support the spinning cycle when
  it is overloaded.
• The washer may not function properly if there is
  any defect in the control panel of the machine.
  The control panel provides power to the motor and
  controls all the functions of the washer. If the
  washer is not initiating the spin cycle, check
  the control panel for any defects. Your machines
  control panel may not providing power to the
  motor or was unable to deliver the instructions
  appropriately. Get it repaired or replaced as
  needed.
