Refrigerator not cooling, washer leaking, dryer not heating or dishwasher not draining? Coral Terrace homes have been through generations of appliances, and we can help you reach someone for yours. Call to reach an independent local repair professional who serves your ZIP code.
Choose your appliance to see common causes, what's safe to check first and when to call.
Not cooling, leaking, ice maker problems or new noises. Garage refrigerators and freezers work harder in Miami heat; mention it if yours is in the garage.
Won't drain or spin, leaking, shaking or not starting. Garage and utility-room washers face heat and humidity; check the fill hoses for bulges or cracks.
No heat, long drying times, loud noises or not starting. Long vent runs to an outside wall collect lint; clean the lint filter before or after every load.
Not draining, not cleaning, leaking or showing an error code. If water stays in the tub, check that the drain hose isn't kinked behind the unit.
Many Coral Terrace houses were built when appliances were smaller and used less power. Over the decades, kitchens and laundry areas have usually been updated, but not always all at once. When a new appliance goes into an older home, the weak point is often the connection: an outlet, a water valve, a drain or a vent.
A few things are worth checking before you call. Older homes may have a 3-prong dryer outlet, while newer electric dryers usually come set up for 4-prong. Water shut-off valves behind washers and under sinks may not have been turned in years, so turn them gently. Washer drains in older laundry areas can struggle with the faster pump-out of modern machines.
None of this means an older home can't run modern appliances. It means the contractor can do a better job if they know what they're walking into. Describe the age of the home, the appliance and what's happening, and you'll be connected with an independent contractor who serves your ZIP code.
Washers, dryers and second refrigerators in garages deal with Miami heat and humidity. Mention where the appliance is when you call.
In single-family homes the dryer vent often runs through a wall or attic to the outside. Long or crushed ducts slow drying and collect lint.
Older homes may have a 3-prong dryer outlet, while newer electric dryers are usually set up for 4-prong. Note your outlet type when you call.
