Save Time with Safe Fixes
Coffee and ice makers are known for their convenience, but when they stop working, frustration follows fast. In Farmingdale, many homes and businesses rely on these appliances every day and the good news is, some common issues can be solved with a few quick steps.
Let’s go over some expert-backed tips from Mr. Appliance of Central NJ to help you troubleshoot safely.
DIY Coffee Maker Troubleshooting
If your coffee machine is acting up, try these steps:
- Clean the machine thoroughly. A vinegar-water rinse can clear up mineral deposits.
- Check the plug and outlet. Gently test other appliances in the same outlet to rule out electrical issues.
- Inspect for clogged valves or filters. Look inside the water reservoir for debris or buildup.
- Reset the machine if it has an electronic control panel—unplug for 30 seconds, then restart.
If the machine still struggles, our coffee maker professionals are just a call away.
DIY Ice Maker Fixes You Can Try
Before calling for service, give these tips a try:
- Inspect the water line behind or beneath the unit—ensure it isn’t kinked or frozen.
- Check for stuck ice inside the mold tray, which can stop the next batch from forming.
- Replace the water filter—a clogged filter is a common culprit for slow or dirty ice.
- Adjust the thermostat if cubes are too small or melting quickly.
If you have a built-in commercial machine, a minor issue can quickly become a big one. Explore our ice maker repair services when in doubt.
Caution: What Not to DIY
While basic cleaning and inspection are safe, avoid disassembling internal parts or tampering with wiring. Commercial appliances especially require tools and diagnostics only certified professionals should use.
If you notice:
- Strange smells or sounds
- Leaking from under the appliance
- Repeated shut-offs or blown fuses
