Dishwasher Not Drying Dishes Properly? The Heating Element May Be Failing πŸ‘‡

We recently serviced a KitchenAid dishwasher for a homeowner who noticed poor drying performance and wanted a full diagnostic inspection since the dishwasher sees heavy daily use.

During the inspection, our technician confirmed the heating element had failed. The homeowner already had the replacement part on hand, so we installed the new element and also checked the overall condition of the dishwasher to help catch any additional wear before it turned into a larger problem.

We also addressed a dishwasher hose concern to help improve long-term reliability.

Some common signs of a failing dishwasher heating element include:

βœ” Dishes coming out wet after cycles
βœ” Water not heating properly
βœ” Longer wash cycles
βœ” Poor cleaning performance
βœ” Plastic dishes staying cold or damp
βœ” Dishwasher struggling during heated dry settings

Heating elements play a major role in both cleaning and drying performance. When they begin failing, homeowners often notice drying problems first, even though wash quality may also start declining over time.Routine inspections can help identify worn components early β€” especially on dishwashers that run frequently in busy households.

Gas Oven Not Heating Properly? A Weak Igniter Could Be the Problem πŸ”₯πŸ‘‡

We recently diagnosed an Electrolux gas range for a homeowner whose oven was struggling to maintain temperature and taking much longer than normal to heat up.

After testing the unit, our technician found a faulty oven igniter. Even when an igniter still glows, it may not be pulling enough electrical current to properly open the gas valve and maintain consistent burner operation.

That can lead to uneven cooking temperatures, slow preheating, or an oven that never fully reaches the set temperature.

Some common signs of a failing oven igniter include:

βœ” Long preheat times
βœ” Oven not reaching correct temperature
βœ” Food cooking unevenly
βœ” Gas oven clicking repeatedly
βœ” Oven heating inconsistently
βœ” Burner failing to ignite reliably

Igniter issues are one of the most common gas oven repairs we see. Catching the problem early helps prevent excessive strain on other ignition and gas valve components.

Seeing an H20 Error Code on Your Dishwasher? Here’s What It Can Mean πŸ‘‡

We recently serviced a GE dishwasher for a homeowner dealing with an H20 error code that was preventing the dishwasher from operating properly.

After diagnosing the unit, our technician found a failing pressure sensor along with an improperly configured drain setup that needed a proper high drain loop installed.

The pressure sensor helps the dishwasher monitor water levels during operation. When it begins failing, the dishwasher may incorrectly detect fill or drain problems and trigger error codes. Improper drain hose routing can also create drainage issues that lead to recurring performance problems.

We corrected the drain configuration and recommended replacing the faulty pressure sensor to restore reliable operation.

Some common signs homeowners may notice include:

βœ” H20 or fill-related error codes
βœ” Dishwasher stopping mid-cycle
βœ” Water not draining properly
βœ” Dirty dishes after a cycle
βœ” Standing water in the bottom of the tub
βœ” Repeated reset attempts not fixing the issue

Dishwasher drain and sensor issues are often connected. Proper diagnosis is important because replacing parts alone may not solve the underlying problem if installation or drainage issues are also present.

Dryer Making a Loud Squeaking Noise? Don’t Ignore It πŸ‘‡

We recently serviced an LG dryer for a homeowner who noticed a loud squeaky noise every time the dryer was running.

After inspecting the unit, our technician found worn drum rollers and a failing idler pulley. These components help support and guide the dryer drum while it spins. As they wear down over time, they can create squeaking, scraping, or thumping sounds during operation.

We also found wear beginning in the blower wheel assembly, which can contribute to additional noise and airflow issues if left unresolved.

Some warning signs homeowners may notice include:

βœ” Squeaking or squealing noises
βœ” Thumping sounds while drying
βœ” Dryer drum not spinning smoothly
βœ” Longer drying times
βœ” Burning smells from excess friction
βœ” Loud vibration during cycles

Dryers often give early warning signs before a larger breakdown happens. Replacing worn moving parts early can help prevent additional damage to the motor or drum support system.

Freezer Temperature All Over the Place? That’s Often an Airflow Problem β„οΈπŸ‘‡

We recently serviced an LG refrigerator for a homeowner whose freezer temperatures were inconsistent, while the ice maker and water dispenser had stopped working completely.

After diagnosing the refrigerator, our technician found a failed evaporator fan motor. This fan is responsible for circulating cold air throughout the freezer and fresh food sections. When it stops working properly, temperatures become uneven and components like the ice maker can stop functioning as designed.

Once the failed fan was identified, we recommended replacement to restore proper airflow and cooling performance.

Some common symptoms of a failing evaporator fan include:

βœ” Freezer temperatures fluctuating
βœ” Ice maker not producing ice
βœ” Water dispenser issues
βœ” Warm spots inside the refrigerator
βœ” Unusual buzzing or fan noises
βœ” Food thawing unexpectedly in the freezer

Airflow issues inside a refrigerator are easy to overlook at first, but they can quickly lead to food spoilage and added strain on the cooling system. Proper diagnosis helps pinpoint the actual cause instead of replacing unnecessary parts.

Washer Leaking During the Fill Cycle? Here’s One Common Cause πŸ‘‡

We recently completed a Maytag washer repair for a homeowner dealing with water leaking around the laundry area during use.

After diagnosing the issue, our technician found the washer’s inlet valve had failed and the inlet hoses were beginning to wear as well. When these valves stop sealing properly, water can slowly leak into or around the machine β€” especially during the fill cycle.

We replaced the faulty inlet valve and installed new hoses to help restore safe, reliable operation.

Some common warning signs homeowners may notice include:

βœ” Water pooling near the washer
βœ” Drips during the fill cycle
βœ” Damp laundry room floors
βœ” Rust or mineral buildup near hose connections
βœ” Reduced water control inside the washer

Inlet valve problems are common on high-use washers over time, especially in homes with hard water or aging hoses. Catching a leak early can help prevent flooring damage and larger repair issues later on.

Microwave Running but Not Heating? That Clicking Sound Could Be a Bigger Problem 🚨

A homeowner recently called us after their Whirlpool built-in microwave started acting strangely. Every time the door opened, the unit would click, the interior light stopped working, and although the timer still counted down, the microwave wouldn’t heat anything. They also noticed a burnt plastic smell while it was running.

After diagnosing the unit, our technician found failed door interlock switches along with a faulty inverter control system. These components work together to safely power the microwave, and when they fail, the appliance may appear to run normally without actually heating.

Common warning signs homeowners may notice:

βœ” Microwave runs but food stays cold
βœ” Clicking noises when opening or closing the door
βœ” Interior light not working properly
βœ” Burning or electrical odors during operation
βœ” Microwave starts but shuts down inconsistently

Problems like this should be addressed quickly, especially when electrical smells are involved. Failed door switches and inverter components can create safety concerns and may eventually cause additional damage to the microwave if ignored.

We provide appliance repair throughout Greenwood, Franklin, Avon, and across Central Indiana. If your microwave is acting up, Duncan Home Services is here to help.

Ice Maker Stopped Working but Refrigerator Temps Still Normal? Here’s One Common Cause πŸ‘‡β„οΈ

We recently helped a homeowner with a KitchenAid refrigerator that was cooling properly, but the ice maker had stopped producing ice.

After diagnosing the unit, our technician found multiple failed components in the ice-making system, including the ice maker assembly, heater, and water valve. Once the faulty parts were identified, we were able to recommend the proper repair to restore normal ice production.

The customer was also dealing with dishwasher door spring issues at the same visit β€” a common problem that can cause the dishwasher door to drop open too quickly or feel unusually heavy.

Some signs homeowners may notice before these repairs include:

βœ” Ice maker stops making ice completely
βœ” Small or hollow ice cubes
βœ” Water not filling the ice tray properly
βœ” Dishwasher door dropping open suddenly
βœ” Door feeling uneven or difficult to open smoothly

Ice maker problems are often tied to water flow or failed internal components, not just temperature issues. Proper diagnosis helps pinpoint the exact cause instead of replacing unnecessary parts.

Dishwasher Not Filling With Water? Here’s One Problem We See Often πŸ‘‡

A homeowner recently contacted us after their Maytag dishwasher stopped filling properly and wouldn’t complete the wash cycle. They also noticed ongoing drainage problems during operation.

After diagnosing the unit, our technician found the wash motor assembly had failed. Since the motor is responsible for circulating water through the dishwasher during the cycle, the appliance could no longer wash or drain correctly. We replaced the failed pump and motor assembly to restore normal operation.

Common warning signs of a failing dishwasher motor include:

βœ” Dishwasher not filling or washing properly
βœ” Water left sitting in the bottom
βœ” Humming sounds during the cycle
βœ” Dishes coming out dirty
βœ” Dishwasher stopping mid-cycle

Motor failures can sometimes start gradually before the dishwasher completely stops working. Catching the issue early can help prevent added strain on other components inside the appliance.

Microwave Stops After a Few Seconds? Don’t Ignore That Warning Sign ⚠️

We recently diagnosed a KitchenAid built-in microwave that would start briefly, then shut down within seconds while displaying an error code. The homeowner noticed the unit was no longer heating consistently and couldn’t complete a normal cooking cycle.

After testing the system, we found multiple high-voltage components had failed, including the inverter and magnetron assembly. These parts work together to generate and regulate microwave heat, and when they begin failing, the microwave may stop mid-cycle or lose heating altogether.

Some common symptoms homeowners may notice include:

βœ” Microwave starts then shuts off quickly
βœ” Food not heating evenly or at all
βœ” Error codes appearing during operation
βœ” Unusual buzzing or electrical noises
βœ” Unit stopping before cooking is complete

Microwave high-voltage failures can worsen over time and often involve more than one component. Proper diagnosis is important because replacing the wrong part can lead to repeat issues and unnecessary costs. Catching the problem early can also help prevent further electrical damage inside the appliance.

We provide microwave and appliance repair throughout Westfield, Indianapolis, Greenwood, and across Central Indiana.
