Whether you're in Tampa, Clearwater, or Palm Harbor, appliance issues can throw off your entire day. But before you call a technician, there are a few things you can try yourself. This guide walks you through the most common appliance problems and how to safely troubleshoot them.

🧺 Washing Machine Not Draining or Spinning?

🔍 Check this first:

  • Clogged drain hose or pump

  • Overloaded drum

  • Lid switch malfunction (for top-load washers)

🛠 DIY Tip: Unplug the machine and remove the drain hose. Flush it out with water or compressed air. If it’s clear, you may need a pro to check the pump.

Brands commonly affected: Whirlpool, LG, GE, Maytag

❄️ Refrigerator Not Cooling Properly?

🔍 Signs to watch:

  • Warm fridge, cold freezer

  • Constant motor running

  • Frost buildup

🛠 Quick Fix: Clean the condenser coils (usually behind or underneath). Dirty coils can reduce cooling efficiency and hike your power bill.

Best for: Samsung, Frigidaire, Amana, Kenmore

🔥 Oven Not Heating Up?

🔍 Common causes:

  • Faulty bake element

  • Malfunctioning thermostat

  • Igniter not sparking (gas ovens)

🛠 DIY Tip: Look for visible damage to the bake element. A continuity test with a multimeter will confirm if it needs replacing.

Applies to: GE, Bosch, KitchenAid, Whirlpool

💡 Pro Tip: When to Call a Pro if you have Appliance Issues

If the fix requires internal part replacement, electrical knowledge, or specialized tools, don’t risk it. Call a licensed technician.
