Before you pay a $100+ diagnostic fee, check for these 2 fatal fridge flaws!

If your refrigerator has either of these issues, it is physically impossible to permanently repair:

1. Internal Leaks Buried in the Foam
The copper lines carrying the cooling gas run directly inside the walls, completely surrounded by hardened insulation foam. A tech cannot see or reach the leak. To find it, they’d have to cut open the plastic liner and dig out the factory foam, destroying the fridge’s ability to hold cold air forever.

2. Cracked Inner Plastic Liners
The inner walls are vacuum-molded as one continuous piece. If the plastic gets a deep crack, moisture and food juices leak into the foam behind it, causing hidden mold and rotting metal.

Note on DIY fixes: You’ve probably seen videos online using tape or epoxy to fix this. While you can do it yourself for a quick, temporary patch, the constant expanding and shrinking from temperature changes means the fix will fail. It’s just a band-aid on a terminal problem.

Why Is Your Thermador Range Clicking While Turned Off?
It is a common scenario for Thermador range owners: the kitchen is quiet, the burner k***s are completely turned to the OFF position, yet the unit randomly begins to click as if attempting to ignite.
If your range is experiencing this issue, it is usually tied to a specific component unique to Thermador’s design.

How the Simmer System Works
Thermador ranges feature an ExtraLow@simmer setting. To maintain a temperature low enough for delicate cooking without the flame going out, the system automatically cycles the burner on and off.
The timing of this cycle is regulated by an electronic switch located behind the control k**b, known as a potentiometer.

Over time, grease, heat, and standard mechanical wear can cause the potentiometer to degrade. When it begins to fail, the component can experience internal short circuits. This sends a false signal to the spark module, causing the igniters to fire even when the control k**b is completely off.
While moisture from a recent boil-over can occasionally cause temporary clicking, a persistent, random click when the stove is dry and off generally indicates a failing potentiometer.

We recently resolved this issue on the unit shown in the video by removing the control panel and replacing the faulty simmer burner potentiometer. Replacing this part stops the rogue electrical signals, restoring normal operation and stopping the noise completely.

Temporary Troubleshooting Tip
If your range begins clicking continuously and will not stop, you can safely cut power to the igniters by unplugging the unit from the wall outlet or tripping the corresponding circuit breaker in your electrical panel until a technician can replace the component.

What makes us different from most appliance repair companies?

Let’s be honest - finding an appliance repair team you can actually trust can feel like guesswork. Too often, you're hit with hidden fees, confusing explanations, or pressured into buying parts you don’t even need.

At Elemental Appliance Repair, we’re changing the game for our local community. We believe in complete transparency, which is why we always explain the "WHAT" and the "WHY" on every single visit.

We Always Explain the "WHAT":
We show you the exact broken component, explain what it does, and walk you through the fix before we touch anything.

We Always Explain the "WHY":
We find the root cause (like hidden blockages or power surges) and teach you how to prevent it in the future to save you money down the road.

Most importantly? Our Promise to You: You will never be sold or installed a part you don't actually need. If it makes more sense to replace your unit instead of repairing it, we will tell you upfront.

Water leak? Dryer not spinning? Oven throwing an error code? Don't stress. We offer Same-Day & Next-Day Service!

Water dispenser quit working right after you changed the filter?

It feels like a cruel joke. You twist a fresh filter into your KitchenAid refrigerator, expect a crisp glass of water, and get total silence instead. Don’t panic your fridge isn’t ruined! We see this all the time.

At the base of your KitchenAid fridge is a plastic piece called the filter head assembly. Over time, the freezing environment makes this plastic brittle. Twisting in a tight, brand-new filter can crack the internal tracks. When it cracks, the internal valves fail to open, completely cutting off your water supply.

The Fix:
1. Unplug the fridge & turn off the water.
2. Remove the bottom base grille.
3. Disconnect the water lines and wire harness.
4. Swap the old assembly for a new factory-original part.
5. Turn everything back on and bleed the air out!

💡 Before installing a new filter in the future, gently warm the plastic housing with a hairdryer on low heat for 60 seconds so it won’t snap! Always stick to genuine factory filters to avoid cracking the housing.

If you open that bottom panel and prefer to leave the water lines and wiring to the pros, that is exactly what we are here for! Send us a DM or click the link in our bio to get your KitchenAid flowing again.

You’ve probably seen people online saying they’ve never cleaned their dryer vent and they're totally fine. Well... don't bet your house on it.
Look at video... This is a Speed Queen. These machines are legendary for being practically indestructible. But look at that internal lint clog it completely bypassed the filter area, hit the heating element, and caught fire.
Here is something most people don't know: If you use dryer sheets, they coat your lint screen in an invisible layer of chemical wax. Air can't escape, the dryer overheats, and boom tinderbox.
Want to test it? Take your lint screen out and pour water on it. If the water puddles instead of flowing right through, your dryer is suffocating.

⚠️ Watch out for these 3 Warning Signs:
- The 2-Cycle Rule: Clothes take multiple cycles to dry instead of one.
- Burning Hot: The machine or clothes feel scorching hot to the touch at the end of a cycle.
- No Outdoor Airflow: The exterior vent flap outside your house doesn't open or blow air when the dryer is running.

Get your vents professionally cleaned once a year. Don't risk it! Message us today to book your professional dryer vent cleaning and keep your home safe!

Bosch dishwasher door slamming down when you open it?

Customer called us because the door wouldn’t stay in position. Crack it open slightly, and it dropped straight down.

After pulling the dishwasher out, we found the issue. The door spring mount had broken off the base. That spring supports the weight of the door and keeps it balanced while opening and closing.

On many Bosch dishwashers, the mount is built into the base pan itself. Once it breaks, the repair requires removing the dishwasher components, replacing the entire base, and reassembling the unit properly. This is something we see fairly often on Bosch units after years of regular use.

If your dishwasher door suddenly feels heavy, loose, or drops open fast, it’s usually a sign the spring system needs attention before additional parts get damaged.

GE washer leaking from the bottom? Check where the water is coming from.

Not all washing machine leaks are the same. The location of the water can tell you how serious the issue might be.

If the leak is coming from the back, it’s often related to hoses or the drain line. If it’s from the front, it may be a door seal or detergent overflow.

But when water is pooling directly under the center of the washer, it usually points to something internal - most commonly the gearcase (transmission).

The gearcase is a sealed component that drives the drum during wash and spin cycles. Over time, internal seals can wear out. Once they fail, water can enter and begin damaging bearings and gears inside the unit.

Common signs:
• Water under the center of the machine
• Leak during the wash cycle
• Dark or slightly oily residue
• New noise or vibration

This type of issue typically gets worse over time, so early diagnosis is important. In many cases, it helps determine whether repair or replacement makes more sense before additional damage occurs.
