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.
Olympia Heights is mostly owner-occupied single-family houses. That makes most appliance repairs a homeowner's decision, from deciding whether a repair is worth it to choosing a contractor.
Many homes here have laundry in a garage, carport or utility room. Appliances in these spaces face more heat and humidity than indoor ones. Fill hoses, dryer vent ducts and refrigerator door seals tend to wear faster. A quick look at those parts once or twice a year can catch problems early.
If you're comparing repair and replacement, keep the whole setup in mind. A replacement may need a different outlet, a longer hose or a new vent connection. A repair keeps the setup you already have. A contractor can talk you through both options when you call.
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.
