Washing machines not spinning or draining

If your washer won’t spin or drain, it could be caused by a clogged drain hose, a blocked pump, or a worn belt.

Start by checking that the load is balanced and the hose isn’t kinked. If the problem continues, it’s best to call a professional to inspect the pump and motor safely.

Refrigerators not cooling effectively

Poor cooling is often due to dirty condenser coils, a failing thermostat, or a blocked air vent inside the fridge.

Try cleaning the coils and ensuring proper airflow around the fridge.

If it still isn’t cooling, a technician can check the compressor or refrigerant levels safely.

Check how to recharge your refrigerator for more tips.

Ovens or stoves not heating accurately

Inaccurate heating can be caused by a faulty heating element, a broken thermostat, or miscalibrated temperature sensors.

Make sure the oven is empty and preheats to the correct temperature.

If your meals are still unevenly cooked, calling a repair professional is safer than trying to adjust electrical components yourself. More info is available in oven fuse is blown.

Excessive vibration or strange noises

Loud noises or shaking can come from an unbalanced load, worn drum bearings, or loose internal components.

Ensure your appliance is level and loads are evenly distributed.

Persistent noise should be checked by a professional to prevent further damage.

Appliance doors that won’t latch or stay shut

Doors that won’t close properly may have worn hinges, a damaged gasket, or misaligned catches.

Inspect the seal and hinges and try adjusting them carefully.

If the door still won’t stay closed, a technician can safely repair or replace the parts to ensure the appliance works efficiently.
