Speed and Strategy

Education and training are vital to successful appliance repair, but the truth of the matter is, there’s no better teacher than hands-on experience. You don’t stay in the appliance repair industry for more than 40 years without learning a thing or two on how to swiftly and accurately diagnose a machine.

Over the past four decades, we have seen everything, from minor inconveniences like a broken refrigerator light, to potential safety hazards like a sparking oven. No matter how large or small the problem, we have the knowledge necessary to properly plan and execute a swift and effective solution.

On the Pulse of Innovation

Appliance repair is not a static trade. Refrigerators, ovens, dryers, and other household machines have changed so much over time that many people may even have trouble recognizing an older machine – let alone understand how to use and maintain it!

Being involved in the industry for so long, we are familiar with the inner mechanics of older machines, which many newer companies may not be equipped to handle. We are also constantly staying up-to-date on the newest developments in appliance technology so we can adequately address issues that may arise with newer models. Our long life as a company means we have a long memory for all things related to household appliance composition and operation, and thus, are able to effectively service nearly any machine.

Since we opened our doors in 1971, we have striven to provide our clients with customized work that has the strength to serve them for years to come. When you want reliable results, choose the company that has proven their dedication to both their industry and their community!

Accurate diagnosis is the most important part of the repair process when one is faced with a malfunctioning electric stove. The reason for this is simple: if the true underlying cause of your stove’s malfunction remains a mystery, it is virtually impossible to apply an effective repair solution.

While a layperson may be able to make educated guesses as to the source of the issues, it’s best to leave the official diagnosis to a professional. Think of it this way: you could have the mailman diagnose you with the flu, but isn’t it a better idea to let a doctor do it? Trust your appliance to the people with the tools, techniques, education, and experience to accurately diagnose your troubled unit.

Common Electric Stove Maladies

Here is a list of common electric stove issues and their possible causes:

• Coils are not heating up: This problem could be caused by a faulty internal ignition switch, a loose connection, or a foreign object blocking a vital connection. Connection issues could be the result of something heavy being dropped on the stove top, or something very cold being placed on a hot coil.
• Sparks: There may be loose wires and connections, or coil damage created by excess weight or extreme temperatures. You may also be using a coil that is incompatible with your unit’s make or model.
• Lights not turning in tandem with burners: This issue may be caused by a faulty control switch within the unit.
• Can’t adjust temperature: This problem can often be traced to a faulty internal ignition switch.

The team at All Brands Appliance Repair has all the qualifications to accurately and swiftly diagnose the source of any and all electric stove issues. Don’t hesitate to call in a professional if you’re experiencing an issue listed above, or if you are in any other way unhappy with your stove’s performance.

Stay safe and enjoy full use of your stove with the help of our knowledgeable professionals!

A refrigerator is a big purchase, so it makes sense to take good care of it so it lasts as long as possible. Your fridge also consumes a lot of energy. Therefore, it’s in your best interest to keep it working optimally so you’re not paying more than you need to in energy costs. 

Performing a few basic maintenance tasks on a regular schedule will help you get the most out of your refrigerator in terms of longevity and energy efficiency. These small actions can lead to big savings in the long run! Read on to find out more. 

Give Your Fridge Some Space

If your refrigerator condenser coils are on the back of your fridge, make sure you don’t push it all the way against the wall. Those coils are responsible for the cooling function of your fridge and freezer; it’s important to allow adequate airflow so they can do their job. An inch of space should do the trick! (Note: If your refrigerator model has the condenser coils on the bottom, no extra clearance at the back is needed.)

Clean Those Coils

As stated above, the condenser coils are responsible for the cooling action of your refrigerator and freezer. Over time, dust, pet hair, and other miscellaneous debris settle on the coils. Eventually, this will compromise coil performance, causing your fridge to work harder and use more energy to keep things cool. The fix? Clean the coils every six months with a long-handled bristle brush. 

Gasket TLC

Another refrigerator workhorse is the gasket that goes around the doors of the fridge and freezer. This thin piece of rubber is what seals in the cool air and keeps the warm air out. However, gaskets may only last a few years due to the wear and tear they experience. Additionally, the airtight seal may be compromised if any debris gets stuck in the gasket track. So, keep your gaskets in tip-top shape for as long as possible by gently cleaning them every few months. At minimum, give them a good wipe-down with a universal cleaner at the same time you clean the condenser coils. If your gaskets are starting to loosen or tear, go ahead and replace them. 

On average, your refrigerator should last between 14 and 17 years depending on make, model, and use. Taking care of it along the way will ensure that it works well and remains as energy efficient as possible for as long as possible.

Punctuality Matters

Have you ever scheduled an appointment with a hired contractor, only to end up waiting around and wondering when they’re going to show up? If you’ve dealt with a lack of punctuality before, you know how bothersome—and potentially costly—it is. At All Brands Appliance Repair, we take timeliness extremely seriously. We know how important it is to show up at the agreed-upon time, especially when it comes to major appliance repair.

Timeliness Saves Money

With almost 50 years of experience, our team at All Brands Appliance Repair understands that appliances are pivotal when it comes to keeping your household functioning smoothly. When a major repair is necessary, you can’t risk waiting around while the food in your fridge goes to waste or your dirty laundry piles up. A major appliance repair can require significant cost, both in the repair itself and in any potential damages caused by the broken appliance. For example, a leaking washing machine can cause serious water damage to your house; the longer that leak is able to flow, the more money you’ll have to spend fixing the damages. Every minute we can use to prevent that damage matters.

Cost aside, we don’t think it’s right for our customers to have to wait on us. If you’ve entrusted us with this major repair, we should be providing you with the high-quality service you expect.

According to the National Fire Protection Association, approximately 14,630 household fires occur every year due to clothes dryers. This accounts for 9 deaths, 420 injuries, and $222 million in property damage. What’s more—a quarter of these fires are caused by built-up lint inside the dryers! 

In other words, the clothes dryer in your home is a significant fire hazard. However, your risk of a dryer-related fire goes way down when you take certain precautions on a regular basis. In fact, it’s actually quite easy to prevent a clothes dryer fire in your home, as long as you do the following:

• Keep your lint trap clean. Remove all accumulated lint from the screen after every load of laundry you dry.
• Ditch the accordion-style duct. These are known to sag and trap lint in their folds. Replace it with a metal duct and use the shortest length possible to minimize sagging. 
• Keep your exhaust vent and ducts clear. Periodically check for blockages by making sure air is coming out of the exhaust vent. Occasionally use a vacuum attachment to clean it out. Also, during the winter, make sure snow is never blocking your vent outside.
• Take extra care with fabrics soiled by flammable substances. Whenever you wash items that have been soiled by cooking oil, paint thinner, gasoline, cleaning agents, or similar substances, wash them more than once before putting them in the dryer. Doing this will minimize the amount of flammable substance remaining in the fabric before you put it in the dryer. Then, when you do dry the fabric, use the lowest heat setting possible—or better yet, hang it to dry.

By keeping these dryer safety tips in mind, you can significantly decrease your household fire risk!
