Refrigerator not cooling, washer leaking, dryer not heating or dishwasher not draining? Richmond West homeowners, including Quail Heights addresses, can reach appliance repair help with one call. 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 homes were built to the stronger building codes adopted after Hurricane Andrew. Newer construction usually means standard appliance openings, modern outlets and accessible shut-off valves, so most repairs here are straightforward.
Hurricane season still matters for appliances. Before a storm, keep a thermometer in the refrigerator and freezer and note your appliance model numbers. During an outage, keep the doors closed. Federal food-safety guidance says a closed refrigerator keeps food safe for about 4 hours. When power returns, plug appliances back in one at a time and watch for error codes.
If an appliance won't come back after an outage, check the breaker and the outlet first. If it still won't start, call to 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.
Check your ZIP code, then call.
