Fridges forming excess frost

Excess frost usually points to a problem with the door seal, temperature setting, or defrost system. Make sure the door closes properly and that the temperature isn’t set too low.

Cleaning the coils and checking the defrost timer can sometimes help. If frost keeps building up, it’s wise to call a professional to prevent long-term damage.

Washing machines not draining correctly

A washer that won’t drain may have a clogged drain hose, blocked pump, or even a small object stuck in the drum. Checking for kinks or debris in the hose often resolves the issue.

If the problem persists, it could indicate a failing pump that needs professional attention. Avoid running the machine until it’s fixed to prevent leaks or further damage.

Read our guide “What Are the Common Washing Machine Problems?”. This article uncovers typical washer troubles—like leaks, drainage issues, and loud cycles—and offers simple tips to help you troubleshoot. Perfect if you’re hoping to spot the cause of your washing machine’s behaviour.

Dishwashers failing to start

If your dishwasher won’t start, it could be as simple as a door not closing properly, a control lock being activated, or a power issue.

Resetting the machine and checking the plug can sometimes do the trick.

If it still refuses to start, a technician can safely diagnose electrical or mechanical faults.

Cooktops not igniting

Cooktops may fail to ignite due to clogged burners, faulty ignition switches, or gas supply issues.

Cleaning the burners and ensuring the knobs are properly turned can sometimes solve the problem.

If sparks still don’t light the flame, calling a professional is the safest approach to avoid accidents.

Dryers producing burning smells

A burning smell often comes from lint buildup, overheated motors, or items stuck in the drum.

Cleaning the lint trap and vent is a good first step. If the smell persists, stop using the dryer and have a technician inspect it to prevent potential fire hazards.
