Fridges not maintaining the correct temperature

If your fridge isn’t keeping a consistent temperature, it could be due to a faulty thermostat, blocked vents, or dirty condenser coils.

Sometimes simply reorganising the contents or cleaning the coils can help. Check that the door seals are tight, too.

If the problem persists, calling a professional is the safest way to ensure your food stays fresh.

Washing machines not draining properly

A washer that doesn’t drain can be caused by a clogged hose, a blocked pump, or debris caught in the drum.

Checking the hose for kinks and removing any small items can sometimes solve it. Persistent drainage problems may point to a faulty pump, which requires a technician. Avoid using the machine until it’s fixed to prevent leaks or damage.

Dishwashers failing to start

If your dishwasher won’t start, it could be a simple issue like the door not fully closing, a tripped control lock, or a power supply problem. Resetting the machine and checking the plug may fix it.

If it still won’t start, it’s best to have a professional inspect it to avoid further damage or electrical issues.

Explore our blog “How to Disconnect a Dishwasher”. It shows you what to do when you need to uninstall your dishwasher, from shutting off power and water to disconnecting hoses properly.

Cooktops not igniting

Cooktops may fail to ignite if burners are clogged, the ignition switch is faulty, or there’s an issue with the gas supply.

Cleaning the burners and making sure knobs are correctly positioned can sometimes help. If it still won’t light, a professional should check it to avoid safety hazards.

Dryers producing unusual smells

A strange smell from your dryer could be caused by lint buildup, overheated parts, or small items trapped in the drum. Cleaning the lint trap and vent is a good first step.

If the smell persists, stop using the dryer and call a professional to inspect it before it becomes a fire risk.
