Clothes dryers can last a looooooong time!! Unlike some appliances, clothes dryers tend to stick around due to lower repair costs vs other appliances including modern washers. This dryer needed “the works” but was still cost effective to repair and should provide the owner many more years of safe and reliable service.

It’s been awhile since I posted a pro tip for home appliances for my customer so here’s two to make up for it👍🏻
Tip #1- for cloths dryers. If your dryer starts taking longer than normal to dry cloths, you’ll want to schedule dryer vent cleaning service asap. Dryers have sensors that determine vent restriction and reduce the time a dryer will heat each heat cycle. A good test is to dry a normal size load on timed dry for 60 minutes(medium or high heat). If the cloths aren’t fully dry at that point there is a restriction in the vent system causing the dryer to heat below it’s capacity. Leaving a dryer running on a restricted vent will eventually cause a failure of one of its built in safety stats or thermal fuses resulting in a dryer that won’t start or will start but produce no heat. I’m happy to refer a service for this if you think your system requires cleaning.
Tip #2- for gas ovens. If your oven is taking a long time to preheat and not baking properly (losing temperature while baking) the issue is likely a weak bake igniter. A gas oven should be able to preheat to 350 degrees in 10 minutes or less when working properly. You may also smell gas when a bake igniter is failing while the oven is in use. Long preheat times and unburned gas smell almost always indicate a weak igniter on a gas oven. If not replaced a weak igniter will eventually no longer allow for the oven burner to light and heat the oven. An amp draw test is required to determine the condition of an ovens igniter and they need to be replaced when amp draw is down to 3 amps. If your ovens function fits the description(s) above, call me to schedule service.

Pro tip: keep an eye on your clothes washers supply hoses. If they are worn like the ones shown in the pic or have developed any bubbles or bulges replace them immediately. If they are the braided stainless type (recommended but not used enough by installers) replace them every 10 years as maintenance. Also, turning the homes supply valves going to your appliances off while away from home for extended periods is wise as a burst hose can cause major water damage if it’s left running for days even with a floor drain nearby. Follow me for pro appliance tips and your appliances will be good to go (G2G)👍🏻

Pro tip: Emergency calls the day before a holiday for oven repairs are every appliance repair companies worst nightmare. We are all typically booked at least a day or two out and can’t possibly get to all the customers requesting emergency same day service. If there are any appliance “pros” waiting around for their phones to ring the day before a holiday for same day service I can guarantee either:
A.) they are a fly by night service, with no ability or intention to fix anything but rather deem your appliance unrepairable and collect a service charge or:
B.) an extremely overpriced service that literally charges such high rates they only need one service call a day to stay in business.
So on to the pro tip: testing oven function is simple. For gas ovens, set oven to preheat and start. You can watch or listen for burner ignition. If burner ignition takes more than 30 seconds from starting bake function the ovens igniter is getting weak. If it takes over a minute it’s very weak and nothing you try to bake will come out as planned since the oven won’t keep temperature.
For electrics, inspect both the bake and broil elements. Newer units often have hidden bake elements so this isn’t possible but you can still verify function. Elements that are bubbling, corroded or misshapen are likely to fail soon. A function test is simply turning the oven on to preheat and making sure both elements heat. DO NOT touch them with your bare hands to verify heating. They will glow when heating and there will be enough radiant heat to feel it from a distance. With a hidden bake element the cavity bottom will get warm after starting the oven to preheat.
Follow my Appliance pro tips and make sure all your appliances function as they should. Especially when you need them most. Wishing you all a Happy Thanksgiving Day!!

The concern on this LG double oven was that they had a gas smell and the ovens (double oven unit) were taking too long to preheat. An LG “authorized” servicer had been out previously and replaced the bake igniter on the upper oven with a GE style igniter that was totally incompatible with their unit. It was too low an amp draw and too far away from the burner to light the burner efficiently. This caused unburned gas to enter and create a dangerous situation. The lower oven bake igniter (not pictured) was installed without its bracket causing it too be too far from the burner as well. This was definitely one of the most bungled repair attempts I’ve seen (and I’ve seen MANY) by an unqualified repair person.

If there’s one appliance you own (non HVAC related) that you should have maintained regularly it’s your clothes dryer. They WILL back up internally with lint creating a fire / safety hazard. I’ve cleaned out 1000’s of dryers that either already had an internal fire or were ones where it was a matter of time. I offer very reasonable prices for dryer clean and check service. After this service I’ll always recommend an interval going forward as every set up requires a different frequency to being maintained (mostly dryer vent set up and length). Keeping up with this will ensure you and your family have safe and efficient appliances in your home at all times👍🏻

This Samsung dryer had been making noise for “awhile” according to its owner. Noisy dryers shouldn’t be ignored as when left alone can turn into bigger issues. The drum ended up eating thru the rear bulkhead on this unit and that combined with all the other issues made it uneconomical to repair. If repaired sooner wouldn’t been saved and kept working for years to come.

Here’s a before and after video of a Whirlpool Cabrio washer in high speed spin where the tub bearings have failed. These are solid machines IMO (we have them in our home) but the tub bearings are a common failure on these units. If your washer is a similar model and gets loud in spin cycle there’s a 99.9% chance yours needs the same repair. Feel free to call and schedule service for this or any of your appliance repairs👍🏻

This dryer was making some very loud noise during the cycle. Found the drum was badly cracked at the seam weld. Time for a new drum and this Samsung dryer will be good to go👍🏻

Just a little before and after on this 15 year old electric dryer that stopped heating from a shorted element. As with every repair the unit was completely cleaned for maximum efficiency and safety now that it’s heating again. Hopefully good to go for another 15 years👍🏻

A little before and after dryer cleaning. I was at this home to repair the washer but thought to ask “when’s the last time you had this dryer cleaned or serviced?” Glad I asked. This 20 year old dryer had never been serviced and was heavily impacted with lint throughout creating a fire hazard and resulting in poor dryer performance. A full cleaning and back to safe and full function👍🏻

No one ever wants to find out they had a fire in their homes cloths dryer. That’s what happened here due to the homes dryer vent system being blocked up. We provide preventative maintenance service on all appliances. I strongly recommend regular maintenance be done, especially on a dryer.
