DIY Appliance Repair Jobs You Should Avoid

June 1, 2023 by

Whether you’re a DIY enthusiast or simply trying to curb costs, tackling your own appliance repairs can be a viable option in some cases. However, there are other situations that should always be left to the pros.

Avoid Dangerous Refrigerator Repair Tasks

Some fridge fixes you can do on your own if you feel up to it. Replacing the door gasket or leveling your fridge to reduce noise are relatively easy jobs once you have the proper instructions.

If there’s a problem with your fridge’s sealed refrigerant system, though, it’s time to call in the experts. Refrigerants can emit toxic gases, so it’s vital that you contact an appliance repair professional to get it fixed as soon as possible.

Stay Away From Microwave Electronics

Most of us rely on our microwave as a kitchen essential. No matter how much you want it to be working, though, you should stay away from trying to fix this appliance’s electronics on your own.

Even when unplugged, a microwave’s capacitor can still hold a significant charge. If you start tinkering with it before ensuring that the capacitor is fully discharged, you risk shock or even electrocution. Stay safe and call an appliance pro instead!

Preserve Your Warranty

No matter how easy an appliance fix might seem, it’s best to leave the job to the experts if your appliance is under warranty. Any unauthorized repairs will likely void the warranty, leaving you vulnerable if there’s a later issue that would otherwise be covered.

Different warranties cover different aspects of the repair process, so it’s important to keep track of all your appliance paperwork along the way. That way, you can easily consult your records to see how to proceed if there’s an issue. 

If you are unsure whether or not you should attempt appliance repairs on your own, contact your local appliance repair specialist. They’ll be able to advise you on the best course of action so that you can get any ailing appliances up and running as soon as possible.
