Fix & repair
Start with safe, non-invasive checks. Know exactly when to stop and call a qualified professional.
Dishwasher Not Draining
Separate a normal filter-area puddle from a real drain fault, then check the cycle, filter and visible drain path safely.
Dryer Not Heating
Confirm the selected cycle and visible airflow before treating a slow load as an internal heater failure.
Air Conditioner Not Cooling
Check the thermostat, filter and unobstructed outdoor airflow without touching refrigerant or high-voltage components.
Refrigerator Not Cooling
Check controls, door closure, loading and ventilation while protecting food and leaving sealed refrigeration parts alone.
Washer Not Spinning
Check cycle choice, load balance and lid or door closure without reaching into a moving machine or opening its cabinet.
Washer Not Draining
Distinguish a paused cycle from a drain restriction using controls, load and the visible external hose only.
Garbage Disposal Not Working
Use the switch, cooling period and manufacturer reset—never fingers or improvised tools—to identify a simple overload.
Garage Door Won't Close
Check the doorway, wall control and photo-eye alignment without defeating the opener's safety reversal system.
Ice Maker Not Working
Check the control, freezer temperature, bin position and visible supply line without opening a water valve or refrigerator panel.
Refrigerator Leaking Water
Locate the visible origin, protect the floor and isolate the water supply without pulling panels or working around live parts.
Oven Not Heating
Confirm mode, controls and household power without touching an element, gas component or live terminal.
Toilet Keeps Running
Use dye-free visual checks at the tank to identify a stuck chain, seal or fill level without forcing brittle parts.
Furnace Blowing Cold Air
Check thermostat mode, filter and vent airflow while treating gas, flame and combustion problems as professional work.
Water Heater Has No Hot Water
Confirm scope, controls and visible status while leaving gas, combustion and high-voltage compartments closed.
Sump Pump Not Working
Use dry, above-water observations to check the outlet, float clearance and discharge route without opening the pump or wiring.
Dishwasher Not Starting
Separate a delayed or locked control from a door, supply or service fault using only normal controls and visible checks.
Dishwasher Leaking Water
Identify whether water first appears at the door, sink connection or beneath the cabinet without running a continuing leak.
Oven Not Turning On
Check control modes, door closure, time settings and visible power status while leaving gas and high-voltage areas untouched.
Washing Machine Leaking Water
Stop active water, identify the first wet location and check loading, suds and visible connections without opening the washer.
Dryer Drum Not Spinning
Confirm power, controls, door closure and load condition before treating a stationary drum as an internal drive failure.
Air Conditioner Leaking Water
Protect the building, distinguish condensate from ice melt and check filter and visible drainage without touching refrigerant or live equipment.
Thermostat Screen Is Blank
Check wake behavior, replace user batteries and observe normal system power indicators without pulling wires or bypassing safety switches.
Toilet Not Flushing
Separate a tank-control problem from a bowl or drain blockage using visible water-level and handle checks without chemical drain cleaners.
Low Water Pressure in the House
Use fixture comparisons, visible aerators and utility information to separate a local restriction from a whole-house supply problem.
Garage Door Opener Not Working
Check wall controls, remote power, door locks and photo-eye conditions while leaving springs, cables and opener internals alone.
Water Heater Leaking
Distinguish nearby condensation or plumbing drips from an active tank leak while staying clear of gas, combustion and high voltage.
Safety boundary
Never remove electrical panels, open gas appliances, handle refrigerant or bypass safety devices. If you smell gas, see damaged wiring, find standing water near electricity, or feel unsure, stop immediately.
