How To Prolong The Life And Efficiency of Your Appliances With Good Maintenance Habits Without a doubt, your household appliances are expensive. Appliance repairs often come at the worst possible time and emergency replacements don’t typically afford you much time to do your research and shop for the best pricing. That is why appliance repair experts in San Diego Area always suggest periodic maintenance of major household appliances in order to get the most lifespan from them... as possible. Most often, appliance malfunctions can be prevented with just some simple tasks that are easy for the average homeowner. With little to no investment other than time, you can care for your appliances and get the most from them while keeping repairs at a minimum. With regular maintenance and care, your appliances can have a long and healthy life. Here are some easy tips for keeping your appliances working at their optimum: Refrigerators Make sure to clean your condenser coils at least twice a year. The condenser coils are located behind or underneath the refrigerator. These can easily be cleaned with your long vacuum attachment or any long handled-brush. Change your refrigerator water filter every six months. This can prevent clogs in your icemaker and water dispenser due to mineral buildup. Check the rubber door gasket periodically for leaks, tears, or spots where it is not sealing properly. This gasket should always maintain a tight seal for maximum refrigeration and to prevent your refrigerator from over-working. Clothes Washers Make sure your washer is level. A washer that rocks and rolls is more likely to develop wear and tear in the motor or around the tub. Check the washing machine hoses often. Wear and leakage could spell a flooding hazard. Replace any hoses that look worn. Clothes Dryer Make sure to clean the lint screen every time you use your dryer. Keep the outside vent clear of lint or any other blockages. A buildup of lint or another other blockage prevents adequate airflow and can result in a fire. Range and Oven Make sure your oven has a tight seal. Ovens without adequate seals can lose in excess of 20% of its heat. Clean the oven 2 to 4 times a year depending on need. A dirty oven is an inefficient one. Clean range hood and vent filters to maintain efficiency. Clean drip bowls to reduce fire hazards. Clean glass top ranges frequently to reduce scratching. Appliance repair experts in San Diego Area often suggest maintenance contracts for their clients. Having your appliances inspected periodically can prolong their lifespan and often locate potential problems before they become emergencies. Call the San Diego Area appliance repair professionals at San Diego Appliance Repair Company to find out how regular maintenance can prolong the life and the efficiency of your appliances.

When Is The Best Time of Year To Buy Household Appliances? It’s a new year and the Christmas buying frenzy has died down. You may be thinking this may be the perfect time to replace your worn out appliance with a new one. And you would be right! There are certain times of the year when buying new appliances is simply more cost-effective than other times of the year, depending on the appliance and the brand. When you consider the constantly changing prices of appliances, it’s ...hard to keep track of where and when the deals are, but there are a few simple rules of thumb when it comes to purchasing new appliances at discounted prices. January Not only are the holidays over and people are busy paying down their credit cards but often stores are looking to move inventory in anticipation of the new models. Older models tend to see a larger discount as the new ones come to market. September and October And speaking of new models, September and October are typically when manufacturers unveil the new year’s models. During the last two months of the year, they are filling their showrooms with new models so September and October they are busy trying to move any existing inventory to have room for the new inventoryand offering pretty good discounts to do so. Spring The exception to the September and October rule, refrigerators tend to unveil their new models in the summer. This means deeper discounts for refrigerators in the springtime. End of the Month Many appliances are subject to quotas or sold on commission. The end of the month may see appliance stores offering discounts to move merchandise. Holiday Weekends Oh, those holiday sales! What would we do without them? But do your homework. Just because something is advertised as a sale doesn’t mean you are necessarily saving much money. Online Great prices can be easily researched and found online. But beware of shipping costs! Rebates If you are partial to a certain manufacturer, chances are that they will offer a rebate at certain times of the year. That being said, there are some manufacturers that simply don’t offer discounts or consistent rebates. These would be Jenn-Air, Thermador, Sub-Zero, and Wolf. Do your homework! Warehouse Clearances Many companies offer warehouse clearances at different times of the year in order to clear out floor models, outlet products, or discontinued models. Perhaps you simply don’t have time to wait for an appliance deal. When you have suffered an appliance breakdown, often you need help NOW. No problem.

How Oven’s Self-Cleaning Function Can Affect Appliance’s Lifespan An appliance is not a living thing. So, how can such a machine have a lifespan? The appliance’s lifespan represents the length of time during which it proves capable of carrying out all the functions that is expected to perform. A modern-day oven stands as a marked improvement over the traditional cooking fire. It heats the food evenly on all sides, plus on the top and bottom. The absence of that feature sugges...ts the oven’s lifespan is nearing its end. Capabilities that vanish in electric ovens that have been cleaned with the self-cleaning feature The tremendous heat (1000 degrees Centigrade) created when someone uses the self-cleaning feature, affects the oven’s convection fan. In the absence of that fan, the heat created by the bake element does not get circulated throughout the oven. As a result, the item that needs to get baked or roasted cooks unevenly. In other words, the appliance fails to carry out its job. The heat that can damage the convection fan can affect two other elements as well. Those are the oven’s bake and broil element. Even if the convection fan works properly, damage to the bake element deprives a baker of a capability on which that same baker depends. That is the ability to put a pan of cake batter in the oven and then later pull out a ready-to-eat cake. Any damage done to the second of paired elements, the one that can broil meat removes the cook’s ability to make a broiled steak. On a summer evening, an outside barbeque might be available, in order to perform the function that should have been carried out by the broiler. On a winter evening, a cook would have to sacrifice the warmth of the kitchen, in order to coop with the damage that has resulted from some oven-cleaning temperatures. Other parts of a range that can get damaged by the oven-cleaning temperatures All ovens have a set of control knobs. Those knobs are connected to relays and resistors, which allow a given knob to control one specific burner. The high temperature produced when the self-cleaning feature gets used can damage those relays and resistors. It can also damage the sensor; that causes the power going to the range to be cut off. If that happens with you, call the appliance repair service in San Diego County. Even the cook top elements do not hold up well, after repeated exposure to the intense heat produced when ovens pass through the self-cleaning process. Those same elements connect to wire harnesses. The harnesses, too, do not function properly for as long as they should, after having been exposed to a tremendous amount of heat. Contact us: (619) 928-5000 [email protected]

Appliance Repairs Belong On List of Money-Saving Practices Typically, the homeowner that must hand over money to the technician that has repaired a broken appliance does not see that same act as a money-saving move. After all, money has been spent, instead of saved. Still, the smart homeowner can save money by knowing when to invest in repairs, rather than spending money on a new appliance. Inexpensive and easy-to-install components... Some homeowners shrink from performing any task that a technician can be paid to perform. Yet it makes no sense to pay for installation of a low-cost component, when the component’s design helps to guarantee the ease with which it can be replaced. The fan motor on a fridge and the water-inlet on a dishwasher are examples of low-cost, easy-to-install components. Sometimes a washing machine begs for a simple repair. That moment arises when the roller in the machine’s drum has to be replaced. A warning that such replacement is imminent often comes in the form of an unpleasant noise. Purchase and installment of a $10 drum can then do away with that unwanted noise. A component’s accessibility helps to determine how accessible that same part can be, if it has to be fixed. Some components are more accessible than others. For example, it is not hard to reach the pressure switch igniters on an HVAC system. Problems easily solved by DIY appliance repairs It has been mentioned that the water inlet valve on a dishwasher does not cost a great deal. Yet a homeowner might not know when an older part has to be replaced with a newer one. If a washing machine fills slowly, then that signals the possible presence of a restricted water valve, one that ought to be replaced. As stated above, the dishwasher also has a water inlet valve. Over time, the valve’s failure to function could keep the dishwasher from filling properly. Fortunately, the water valve on that particular appliance is just a cheap as the one on a clothes washer. Often an electrical problem demands the services of a skilled appliance repair technician in San Diego County. Yet some dryer-related problems force a serious reconsideration of what could be viewed as a safety concern. An overheated dryer can force the blowing of a fuse. In order to solve that problem, the person that wants to use the dryer must clean the dryer’s vent system and then replace the blown fuse. Certain refrigerators, too, can offer examples of an easy-to-solve problem. For instance, some poorly-maintained refrigerators exhibit frost in specific sections of the freezer. That frost serves as evidence that the poorly-maintained appliance could use a new gasket. Contact us: (619) 928-5000 [email protected]

Use Your Dishwasher Properly And Add To The Length of Its Lifetime Since welcoming the dishwasher’s introduction, homeowners have been exposed to all sorts of contradictory information, regarding what should and should not be done by the person that plans to take advantage of a real convenience (the dishwasher). This article hopes to clear up some of those confusing contradictions. Do not try to stuff too many dishes onto the dishwasher’s racks. Yes, that approach does save t...ime and water, but it shortens the appliance’s lifetime. It can also cause leaks. In an overloaded dishwasher, water gets sent to the bottom, where it can leak out more easily. Getting to the heart of one controversy Ever since homeowners started using dishwashers, there has been speculation, regarding how free of food particles the dishes must be, before the loaded appliance can be turned on. If you do not want to have any clogs with packed food in the lines that are inside of the dishwasher, or those coming from the same appliance, then remove all the large bits of food. That simple act should prove adequate. The act of preparing the dishes that will go on the racks should not be viewed as evidence that the dishwashing appliance cannot be counted on to do a good job of cleaning the items that get placed on its racks. Do not feel that you have to rinse off every crumb on every plate. Those crumbs will become the target of the dishwashing soap. In the absence of such a target, that special powder or liquid could stick to the dishwasher’s interior walls. By using too much soap, the person that depends on a dishwasher can add to any film that might have formed on the dishwasher’s interior walls. Fortunately, the results of a soap buildup can be corrected by using a troubleshooting procedure. Take a capful of cooking oil and pour it into the dispenser, the one that normally holds the cleaning powder or liquid. Then turn the appliance on; the soapy film on the dishwasher’s walls attaches to the oil, and the soap bubbles with the oil get rinsed away. Protections that allow the appliance with dish racks to keep running longer Dishwashers should be protected from the effect of any surge in the electrical system. True such a surge would be felt by other appliances. Still, of all the appliances in the home, the dishwasher seems most sensitive to the emergence of a surge in electrical power. Homeowners can buy surge protection for just one appliance. Alternately, a homeowner might care to invest in something larger. For that reason, consumers do have the ability to buy whole-house-surge-protection. And if there are any issues, it is best to call in an appliance repair professional in San Diego County.

Tips For Helping Your Dishwasher Do Its Job One of the greatest kitchen inventions of all time is the automatic dishwasher. But there are times when your dishwasher is not doing the job it was meant to do.

Guide For Cleaning Ice Maker Perhaps you are wondering why it would be necessary to clean an ice maker. The old ice cube makers did not get cleaned each time that all the cubes had been removed. The cube-shaped holders were simply filled with more water. At that time, no one gave much thought to the contents of the clear liquid that came from the kitchen tap. No one guessed that it could contain tiny bits of dirt of minerals, such as lime. Moreover, the old trays could be rin...sed, before being re-used. Today, the channel that carries water into the ice maker does not get the same sort of rinse that could be given to one of the old-type of ice cube trays. For that reason, the particles in the clear liquid can build up on the surface of that same channel. As more water washes over that build up, the material that will be used for making cubes starts to collect some of the buildup. Only a regular cleaning can keep that from happening. How to prepare for the cleaning process Read and study the information in the owner’s manual. Focus on the material that concerns maintenance and operation of the cube-producing machine. Purchase some nickel-free ice machine cleaner. You may have to go to a hardware store, one that makes a point of carrying special cleaners. Make sure that you have access to at least two soft rags. Additionally, if you are busy or need to get it done properly, you can call in the appliance repair service in San Diego County. Steps to follow, as you work to clean your ice maker Turn off your machine. Also make sure that it is unplugged. Turn off the water supply that gets fed to the machine with the buildup. Dispose of the old ice cubes; rinse out the container that has held those same cubes. Remove the parts that need to be cleaned. Those parts should have been named in your owner’s manual. Mix one part of the cleaner with 3 parts of water. Using the diluted cleaner and a rag, wipe down the parts that you have removed from the ice maker. Rinse each of the cleaned pieces with water. Using a clean and dry rag, wipe the rinsed parts. Return each cleaned part to the machine. Allow all of them to dry a bit more, before moving on to the next step. Plug in and re-start the ice maker. If the parts are not dry, this step poses a real danger to the person that tries to complete it. Collect that first bucket of ice and discard it. You want to be sure that no trace of the cleaner remains on any one operating part. Contact us: (619) 928-5000 [email protected]

Benefits And Problems Associated With Bottom Freezer Refrigerators Traditionally, a refrigerator’s freezer got placed above the section used for storing cold foods. Later, some refrigerators had side-by-side sections, with the freezer’s space being the thinner of the two juxtaposed sections. More recently, consumers have been given the chance to try a third arrangement, one that puts the frozen foods in the appliance’s bottom portion. The one frozen item that remains in the t...op section Actually it is a group of items, all of which have the same shape. In refrigerators with the newest arrangement, the ice maker’s position remains the same. It takes up some of the space that lies above the shelves filled with cold food. For that reason, the freezer contains a larger amount of storage space. Other benefits enjoyed by a family with a bottom freezer refrigerator Sometimes the frozen items get stored in pull out drawers. Hence, no one has to pull out some of the packages of frozen food, in order to see what has been placed behind them. Since the foods in the freezer can be accessed with ease, the family that has chosen to use an appliance with the newer arrangement saves all family members from the need to do lots of bending. Moreover, within a bottom freezer refrigerator, not all the appliance’s pull out shelves are in that bottom section. At least one of them fills the space between the freezer and the upper portion, the fridge. That can serve as a great place in which to store snacks and beverages. Granted, there are some refrigerators in which the frozen items do not get placed on a pull out drawer. Yet a number of those appliances do have adjustable shelves for the packages that have been exposed to the freezing temperatures. That feature makes it easier to store any item in a logical and suitable location. Finally, the refrigerators with frozen foods in the bottom section seem to fit into a larger number of spots. In fact, any one of them could fit into a tight space. That particular feature might be viewed as a truly beneficial one, especially in a rather small kitchen. Problems associated with the appliances that place cold foods over those that are freezing cold. Such appliances cost more than the more traditional refrigerator. In addition, any one of them can force the homeowner to deal with higher utility bills, because it uses up so much energy. It takes lots of energy to defrost the freezer’s generous amount of space. Oftentimes, that is one of the reasons for malfunction which is best resolved by calling in the appliance repair technician in San Diego County. Finally, the newer arrangement creates a periodic challenge. It forces those that want to freeze something to put it in that bottom section. If something heavy, like a turkey must go there, it can prove hard to remove. Contact us: (619) 928-5000 [email protected]

Dishwasher Facts That Every Consumer Should Know Smart consumers do not start looking at the dishwashers on the market until they have taken the time to measure the space into which that particular appliance must go, once it gets installed in their home. The time set aside for taking measurements can have a dual use, if someone studies the type of substance in the countertop. Typically, a dishwasher goes under the counter. Two ways for the under-counter mounting of dishwasher...s Mount the appliance to the underside of the countertop Mount it to the sides of the countertop: This is the recommended method, if the kitchen’s countertop contains a solid substance, such as granite. Some consumers might get busy looking at different models, soon after obtaining the width, height and depth of the measured space. Others might care to spend some time learning about some of the optional features. Manufacturers have added several of them to the machine that has been designed for washing dishes. And if there is any issue later on, call in the appliance repair experts in Milton but don’t try DIY. Special features Tall tub: When a dishwasher’s tub gets made taller, its lower kick panel must be removed. Consequently, the appliance’s door almost reaches the ground. That combination of features causes the tub’s interior space to be larger. Quiet model: Today, all models have added insulation. Still, some families feel ready to pay for the absence of any discernable noise. Such families elect to buy a quiet model. Soil sensors: These are also called turbidity sensors. The sensor measures the amount of particulate in the wash water. When it fails to sense any particles in the wash water, it signals for an early cessation of the dishwasher’s cycle. In addition to the special features, manufacturers offer even more to the person that is shopping for a dishwasher. The present-day shopper has the chance to request an enhancement to a standard feature. Enhancements that can be requested Adjustable racks: These can handle large platters or plates that have a strange shape. Ultra quick wash cycle: Couples that enjoy entertaining like this enhancement. It makes it easy to clean lightly soiled dishes. Top rack only wash: This comes in handy if you have to clean lots of glasses, but you do not have to worry about dirty utensils or a pile of plates. Sanitize wash: Mothers with babies love this enhancement. It provides mothers with an easy way to wash and sanitize baby bottles. Heavy duty cycle: This comes with the water pressure and temperature that aids completion of a tough job, namely the one that entails cleaning pots and pans. By paying extra money, a shopper can even get an enhanced version of this enhancement. Some of the water gets turned into steam, and the steam can loosen any baked on stains.

Signs That Your Dryer Vent Needs Cleaning The lint particles from clothing that has been tossed in the dryer seem quite harmless. Most of them travel into a vent, a place where they cannot be seen. For that reason, it becomes easy to overlook the need to schedule a time for the vent’s cleaning. Yet, if you know the following signs, you will soon remember to set aside time for cleaning your dryer’s vent. Your clothes feel damp when a cycle has ended... Normally, a load that has been spun in the washing machine will dry completely after one cycle in the dryer. If it does not, a problem exists somewhere. If the venting system contains lots of lint, it will obstruct the dryer’s all-important air flow. In the absence of that air flow, the moisture in the warmed and tossed items evaporates rather slowly. That slow rate of evaporation explains the dampness of the items that have been warmed and tossed for the full length of a cycle. Much time has passed since the last cleaning If you have failed to record the exact date for the time when you last cleaned your dryer’s venting system, you may still have a rough idea how much time has passed since you completed that particular job. If you are sure that more than one year has passed, you should get ready to attack a lint-filled vent. In the interest of safety, you should prepare now to go after the collected lint within your dryer’s venting system. You can see where lint has collected You cannot see the treads and fibers that go into your dyer’s venting system. Normally, you cannot see threads and fibers that come from the vent’s outlet. Understand, though, that there is one exception. When you are outside and you venture over to the area that is close to the outlet for the dryer’s vent, you find a spot where lint has collected. Lint will not show up in that area until the vent’s walls no longer provides lint particles with a place to rest. When you realize that the vent’s walls have become covered with bits of fiber and thread, then you cannot deny the need for completion of a vent cleaning. A supplementary job for the vent-cleaner A clean vent will not prove especially useful, if it has become damaged in some manner. For that reason, the appliance repair expert in San Diego County responsible for cleaning the venting system should also check on the condition of that same system. Has any vent become torn, crushed or restricted? No amount of cleaning can correct a problem of that nature. The time has come for replacing the damaged part of the channels that carry lint away from an operating dryer. Contact us: (619) 928-5000 [email protected]

Check The Appliances Before You Buy That New House Summer is the time when people typically move. If you are thinking about buying a new house, how can you be sure that the appliances that come with the house are in working order? In most cases, before you purchase you have a home inspection done. But in some cases, the inspector may only inspect those appliances that are considered installed and may not include stand alone appliances. This is when it is important for you, ...as the buyer, to conduct your own inspection when it comes to the appliances that convey with the new home. Dishwasher Dishwashers typically take the longest amount of time to check. Start the dishwasher immediately to give it time to run through a normal cycle. You will want to make sure the dishwasher door opens properly, the gaskets are tight, and there is no visual rust. You will also want to make sure there is no telltale leaking and the heating element is working. If there is water standing inside the unit after the cycle, it may mean the pump isn’t working. Refrigerator A refrigerator is expensive to replace so you want to be assured that the fridge is working properly before you buy the home. You will want to make sure that the refrigerator is cooling properly and that there is no rust inside or outside the unit. You will also want to check that the gaskets are sealing properly and there is no buildup of frost in the freezer. Stove No matter if the stove is gas or electric, you will want to make sure it works prior to closing on the new home. A faulty gas stove can potentially be dangerous. Check each burner to make sure they are properly functioning as well as the heating elements in the oven and broiler. Check that the seals close tightly. Garbage Disposal A disposal is not typically expensive to repair or replace but it is still something you want to make sure is operating properly. Washer and Dryer Checking the washer and dryer are equally important before you buy a home. Run the washer through a short cycle on a hot setting. Make sure hoses don’t look cracked or broken. Check the dryer for a buildup of lint. This can be a fire hazard if the owner has continuously allowed lint to remain in the trap and it has built up inside the ventilation and interior of the dryer. A Home Warranty Although inspecting household appliances is a good idea prior to buying a home, you may be faced with replacing an appliance if it has come to the end of its functional lifespan. You may want to consider purchasing a home warranty policy to protect you in the case one of these appliance needs repair after your purchase.

An Organized Fridge Can Be Your Best Efficiency Fix It’s summer and your fridge is probably getting a workout. With the kids at home, the kitchen may be the busiest place in the home. It’s hard to get kids to be mindful about not standing at the fridge with the door open. But you can help by keeping your refrigerator organized. That way, there won’t be unnecessary searching for an item in the fridge. When everything has a place, it’s easier to locate what you need and get the... door shut. Not only is an organized refrigerator easier to navigate but it can also keep your foods fresher. The more the door remains shut, the more constant the interior of the refrigerator stays in order to keep foods their freshest. Clean and Empty The best way to begin is with an empty and clean fridge. Remove all food, toss expired items, and wipe up any spills. Top Shelves The top shelves of your fridge are great for things you don’t want to forget about. If you keep leftovers here, they have less of a chance of becoming a science experience. Somewhere on the top two shelves you should keep your eggs. Do not keep them on the door. Eggs should be left in their original container for the best freshness. Lower Shelves The lower the shelf in your fridge, the colder it will be. This is where you should keep anything like meat and dairy. In the case of meat, it’s always a good idea to keep it in a separate plastic container to avoid any leaks. The Door The shelves on the interior of your fridge door are the warmest part of your refrigerator. This is perfect for condiments as they are typically full of natural preservatives such as salt and vinegar. This is NOT a good place for milk or eggs. But butter and some cheeses can be kept in the dairy compartment on the door safely. Drawers Crisper drawers are specifically made for humidity control. The drawer for vegetables will typically be higher in moisture than the one for fruit. Most fridges have a specific drawer for meat as well. This is safe for both raw meats and cut sandwich meats. Separate Plastic Compartments It’s always a good idea to have several plastic containers or a turntable to organize and be able to reach items in the back of the fridge. This is great for kids at home during the summer so you can keep their favorites in one easy place. If you find that your refrigerator isn’t keeping your food as cold as it should, don’t run the risk of food spoilage.

Know All About Gas Dryer And Electric Dryer Before You Make A Choice We no longer live in neighborhoods where clothes lines were strung in almost every yard down the block. The warm sun kindly drying off the clothes that were fastened to the cotton line as they freely moved in the air that blew. We now have a quick trip from transferring our clothes from the washer to the dryer without any hesitation; no matter what the weather is outside. A clothes dryer bought convenience i...nto the home with the ability to do so much with the clothes that were dried, rather than hanging them out on the line. Consumers today can purchase either an electric dryer or a gas dryer to place inside the home. And if there is any malfunction, then there are appliance repair experts in San Diego County that can help you handle the issues. Electric Dryers Pros The best part about owning an electric dryer is that they are more affordable when you need to buy a dryer compared to the gas. You can install an electric dryer about anywhere in your home with just a few pieces of equipment. Cons Electric dryers are not as energy efficient as the gas. It also takes longer to heat up the coil to ultimately dry the clothes. More time is required and more power is required to wash clothes. Certain materials take longer to dry than others. Gas Dryers Pros Gas dryers have built up quite a reputation and doesn’t have too much to complain about. These dryers reduce wasted energy, they heat up almost instantly, and the clothes in a gas dryer take about half the time to dry as compared to the electric. There are also less damage done to the garments too. Cons Before you can use a gas dryer, you will need to have a gas line run into the home from the neighborhood. You can’t do this, you will need the gas company to do that instead. In order to have this done, you may run into some additional charges. You will need to purchase a gas dryer, depending on what type of gas you use; propane or natural. Natural gas is normally fed through a line that runs into your home where a propane gas comes from a bottle placed on the outside of the home near the dryer. It is hard to make the decision when purchasing a dryer that will suit your needs. They both ultimately dry your clothes but which process you use to get there is where you need to make a crucial decision. If you are not sure which one is right for you, talk to friends, family, and neighbors to get a better idea of which one may be better for your family. Remember, they both have pros and cons so it basically comes down to which one is right for you personally. Contact us: (619) 928-5000 [email protected]

How To Repair The Samsung Refrigerator That Is Too Warm The truth is that your Samsung fridge is arguably amongst the hardest working kitchen appliances. It is one of those things in the kitchen that we use on a daily basis for one of the most important things at home to keep our food in proper condition. A failing Samsung fridge could actually cause a significant amount of trouble and you most definitely need to avoid situations of the kind. There are quite a few things wh...ich could go wrong with your Samsung fridge you should know that. What is more, if you have a freezer, this is one additional appliance to worry about. In any case, usually when something happens to your fridge it’s most likely to have an impact on the freezer and vice versa. One of the most common issues is when your fridge overheats. Here are a few possible causes for this. Cold control or the temperature control This is a temperature controlled switch which is designated to supply power to your compressor as well as to the fan circuits in the Samsung fridge. If the compressor as well as the fans are running regularly but aren’t running often enough or not long enough in order to maintain the proper temperature in the sections of the freezer and for the fresh food, the cold control might actually be defective. It might also be de-calibrated and it might need a helping hand. Normal temperature should be around 38 degrees (F). Evaporator Fan Motor The evaporator fan motor is an integral component which has its location in the freezer compartment. It’s usually right behind the evaporator cover and it is designated to properly circulate the cold air throughout the entire appliance as long as the compressor is running. As you can figure out on your own, if this device malfunctions, the flow of cold air is going to be interrupted and hence the Samsung fridge could easily get too warm. Electronic control board Some of the more contemporary units have an electronic control board. This board is connected with thermistors or different temperature sensors which are used in order to monitor the temperature in the freezer and the fresh food compartment. This information is then used by the control board in order for it to send the right signals to the compressor as well as the defrost system and the fan motors. If the temperature is too high, you might have issues with your electronic board. Now, even though there are a lot of different DIY tips on the internet, it’s important to understand that these are repair works which shouldn’t be carried out on your own. You need to ensure that everything is handled by a professional appliance repair specialist, if you want splendid results. It is important to work with a company that has been in business for multiple years and understands all aspects of repairs. Contact us: (619) 928-5000 [email protected]

Is The Dacor Oven Door Stuck At The End Of A Self-Cleaning Cycle? There are quite a few issues which might take place with your oven, stove and ranges. Most of the contemporary units are equipped with a very self-sustaining feature which is designed to self-clean the entire machine on the inside. This is a very convenient function which is going to save you quite a lot of time as well as effort but it’s also one which could cause a few complications if you don’t know how to p...roceed properly. With this in mind, one of the most common problems that you might easily come across when it comes to using an oven or a stove is for the door not to open after the self-cleaning cycle has already ended. There are a few things which might be causing this let’s take a look. Oven temperature sensor If your door doesn’t unlock as the cycle of self-cleaning is through, you might be having a significant problem with the temperature sensor.
