Kitchen Appliance Repair Services in Portland

Refrigerator Repair

It is the most essential appliance in any kitchen, and a breakdown can be a major inconvenience. If your fridge is not cooling, you need to diagnose the problem. Check the thermostat and set it to the correct temperature. Also, check the condenser coils and clean them with a vacuum. If the problem persists, check the door seal, as sometimes, loose or damaged seals cause cooling loss. You can replace the seal easily with a DIY kit.

Freezer Repair

A common issue with freezers is that they stop freezing food. The culprit is usually a clogged drain line. You can defrost your freezer and check the drain line to see if it’s blocked. Unclog it with hot water or a soft cloth if necessary. If the freezer is still not freezing, it may be a problem with the evaporator coils or thermostat. In this case, it's better to call for a professional repair.

Dishwasher Repair

Dishwashers are a convenient appliance to have when in working condition. If your dishwasher is noisy or not washing dishes properly, check if the spray arm is clogged or damaged. Clear the arm of any debris and replace it if it’s broken. Another common issue is a dishwasher not draining. This can be solved by checking the drain hose and cleaning it of any blockage. If the drain pump or motor is faulty, you may need a professional to fix it.

Oven, Stove, & Range Repair

When an oven, stove, or range is not heating up, the first thing to check is the power supply. Ensure that the gas or electric supply is working properly. If the supply is fine, check that the heating element or igniter is working. Replace the element or igniter if it's not working. In the case of an oven, clean the oven vent or door gasket as a lack of ventilation can also cause poor heating.

Ice Maker Repair

If the ice maker is not producing ice, you may have to check the water supply line. Sometimes, the line can get kinked or clogged, preventing water flow. Clear the blockage or replace the line if necessary. Another issue could be the water inlet valve, which should be replaced if it’s faulty. If the ice maker is still not producing ice, it’s better to call a repair professional.

Garbage Disposal Repair

If your garbage disposal suddenly stops working, you may have to check the reset button under the disposal. Push the reset button and try switching on the disposal again. If the disposal is still not working, use an Allen wrench to free the stuck flywheel. If the disposal is jammed, loosen the jam with a hex key by rotating it clockwise and anti-clockwise.

Microwave Oven Repair

If your microwave oven is not heating, check if the door switch is working properly. Corrosion, burns or even a bent lever can cause the door switch to fail. Replace the switch if necessary. Another issue could be with the magnetron, which is responsible for heating up food inside the microwave. If the magnetron is faulty, you should call a professional for repair.

Kitchen Exhaust Fan Repair

If your exhaust fan is not working properly, you should check the fan blades for any blockage or debris. Clean the blades and ensure that they spin easily. Also check for any burnt-out motor or circuit breakers. Replace the motor or reset the circuit breaker if necessary.

Wine Cooler / Refrigerator Repair

Wine coolers come in different sizes and models. However, they operate in a similar way to fridges when it comes to repairs. A common issue with wine coolers is when they don't keep the right temperature. Check the thermostat and the condenser coils for any debris. If the problem persists, then it may be a fault in the compressor or other parts that require a professional repair.

Trash Compactor Repair

Common issues with trash compactors include it not working, not compacting trash or producing a bad odor. If it’s not working at all, check the electrical cord and outlet for power flow. If the trash compactor is not compacting trash, the ram may be faulty, and a professional repair is required. For bad odor, clean the bin and the filter section regularly.
