Fridges leaking or making unusual noises

Leaks from a fridge may be caused by a blocked or frozen defrost drain, damaged door seals, or a leaking water line if the fridge has a water dispenser.

Unusual noises like buzzing, rattling, or humming can indicate a failing compressor, worn fan motor, or loose internal components.

While minor cleaning or adjusting the fridge can sometimes help, persistent leaks or noises usually require professional inspection. A qualified technician can safely diagnose and repair the underlying problem to prevent further damage.

Washing machines not filling or draining

If a washing machine isn’t filling, it may be due to a blocked water inlet valve or kinked hose. When the machine fails to drain, clogged pumps, hoses, or filters are often the cause.

Overloading the drum or improper installation can also lead to these issues. While simple maintenance like cleaning hoses and filters may provide temporary relief, persistent problems should be addressed by a professional to avoid further damage.

Dishwashers failing to start or leaving dishes dirty

A dishwasher that won’t start may have a faulty door latch, blown fuse, or defective control board. If dishes aren’t cleaned properly, it could be due to clogged spray arms, blocked filters, or using the wrong detergent.

Regular maintenance, like cleaning the filters and checking spray arms, can improve performance.

Ongoing issues, however, require a technician to safely diagnose and repair internal faults.

Stoves or cooktops not igniting

Stove or cooktop ignition problems are commonly caused by clogged gas ports, faulty spark modules, or issues with the ignition switch. Gas burners may also fail if the burner cap is misaligned or dirty.

While cleaning and adjusting the burners can fix minor issues, persistent faults should be inspected by a qualified technician. They can safely repair or replace the necessary components to restore reliable cooking performance.

Dryers taking too long to dry clothes

Dryers that take longer than usual may have blocked vents, a dirty lint filter, or a failing heating element. Poor airflow or electrical issues can also reduce drying efficiency.

While cleaning the vent and filter can solve minor problems, ongoing delays usually indicate a mechanical or electrical fault.

A professional can inspect, clean, and repair your dryer to ensure it dries clothes efficiently and safely.
