When an appliance stops working, is it better to repair it or replace it?

The right decision can depend on several factors:

šŸ”§ The applianceā€™s age
šŸ”§ The nature and cost of the repair
šŸ”§ Its overall condition
šŸ”§ Its energy efficiency
šŸ”§ Whether replacement parts are available

A professional diagnosis can help you make an informed decision before spending money on a replacement.

Sutton & Son also offers a free initial analysis by phone to help determine whether you may need a service call or a replacement part.

How you organize your refrigerator can affect how well it coolsā€”especially during hot summer weather.

Avoid packing food tightly against the interior air vents. Cold air needs room to circulate throughout the refrigerator to maintain an even temperature.

For better performance:

āœ… Keep vents clear
āœ… Allow space between items
āœ… Avoid leaving the door open unnecessarily
āœ… Let hot leftovers cool safely before refrigerating them
āœ… Check that the door closes completely

If your refrigerator is still not staying cold, making strange noises or running constantly, give Sutton & Son a call.

Trying to finish laundry faster by squeezing in one more towel? An overloaded washer may actually create more problems.

Overloading can:

šŸ‘• Prevent clothes from cleaning properly
šŸ’§ Affect rinsing and drainage
āš™ļø Put extra strain on the motor and drum
šŸ”Š Cause excessive shaking or unusual noises

Follow your manufacturerā€™s recommended load size and make sure clothing can move freely inside the drum.

If your washer is leaking, shaking, refusing to spin or making new noises, Sutton & Son services front-load, top-load, stackable and compact machines.

Is your dishwasher leaving behind dirty dishes, making strange noises or holding standing water? These problems may be signs that your dishwasher needs attention.

Some issues can begin with something as simple as a dirty filter or improperly loaded dishes. Persistent drainage problems, leaks or unusual sounds, however, should be inspected before they become more serious.

Hereā€™s an appliance tip every pet owner should know!

Pet hair and dust can collect around your refrigeratorā€™s condenser coils. When airflow becomes restricted, the refrigerator may have to work harder to keep your food cold.

Check your appliance manual to locate the coils and follow the manufacturerā€™s cleaning directions. Always unplug the appliance before performing approved maintenance.

A little cleaning can helpā€”but unusual noises, constant running or poor cooling may mean itā€™s time for professional service.

Is your refrigerator struggling to stay cold during the summer? Your door seal could be letting cold air escape.

Try this simple test:

Close the refrigerator door over a piece of paper.
Gently pull on the paper.
If it slides out with very little resistance, the seal may be worn or damaged.

A loose seal can make your refrigerator work harder, use more energy and have trouble maintaining a safe temperature. If the problem continues, Sutton & Son can help diagnose it.

Are your clothes still damp after a complete dryer cycle? Donā€™t automatically add more drying time.

A dryer that takes too long may have restricted airflow. Start by checking and cleaning the lint screen after every load. If the problem continues, the vent system may require further attention.

Warning signs can include:

šŸ”„ Longer drying times
šŸ”„ A dryer or laundry room that feels unusually hot
šŸ”„ A burning smell
šŸ”„ Excess lint behind the appliance
šŸ”„ The dryer shutting off during a cycle

Stop using the dryer if you notice a burning smell or signs of overheating, and arrange for professional inspection.
