Har-V's Appliance Service

Appliances are supposed to make your life easier, but a dishwasher that doesn't clean the dishes or a dryer that doesn't dry the clothes can create far more hassle than they're worth. Instead of suffering with appliances that don't work, call a pro to get them repaired.

You might be tempted to just replace your appliance when you run into problems rather than worry about repairs. But you might be surprised how affordable it can be to have an appliance expert fix it, and how much money it could save you.

Dryers are one of the easiest and least-expensive appliances to work on and repair. If the drum has stopped turning, it needs a new belt. If it has stopped generating heat, it may be the thermostat or the heating element, and replacement is needed.

Even if it’s a relatively simple fix, it can still cause a lot of stress and hassle if you don’t know what you’re doing. Hiring an appliance repair professional means that your problems can be fixed quickly and easily without you having to worry.

While your microwave is perfectly safe to use, the truth is that this small appliance can be one of the most dangerous to try to repair. Even when it's unplugged, thousands of volts of electricity are stored in a microwave's capacitor. The job of replacing a microwave's electronic parts should always be left to a professional.

It can be hard to realize how much you use the stove every day, until it breaks and you're not able to use it. Appliance repair experts know this, and will get there quickly to get your stove back up and running as soon as possible.

Have you ever opened the owner's manual or other documentation that came with your appliance and felt like your head was spinning? You're not alone. The modern convenience of appliances often comes with complexity that's best left to the pros if there's a problem.

An oven with a thermostat that's slightly off can start off as an annoyance, but quickly become a big problem, especially as the margin of error gets larger and larger. Fortunately, a repair expert can get your stove working again with precision temperature control, so you don't have to worry.

If your gas oven won’t heat properly, it may be the glow bar igniter. The general rule is that, if you can see a red glow from the igniter glowing for more than three minutes, but your gas doesn’t turn on, then you need a new igniter. A professional should always replace the igniter, since it has to do with gas.

There are dozens of different brand names out there for appliances, each with their own different arrangements and design methods. Appliance repair experts make sure to know a wide variety of manufacturers so they can be ready for any appliance problem.

There are several signs that your washing machine hoses will need to be replaced. They should be regularly checked for cracks, which are a sign of aging and a breakdown of the rubber. Blisters indicate a rupture in the inner lining of the hose.

Most frost-free freezers have heating coils. A timer turns the coils on to quickly melt frost from freezer surfaces, and a sensor shuts them off before food starts to thaw. If your freezer is losing its cool, the heating coils might need repair.

Is your oven cooking unevenly? Over-heating? Under-heating? All three issues are common indicators the oven thermostat is malfunctioning. It can’t sustain a consistent internal temperature at the established setting, is allowing heat to build too high, or is shutting heat off too soon.

If your front-loading washer has an off-odor, the problem is with the gasket, as it traps old wash water, which can create a moldy smell. There are many cleaners available on the market that will combat this odor. However, if there are leaks at the door, the seal is broken and needs to be replaced.
