When DIY Stops and Professional Help Begins
While cleaning filters and checking hoses are excellent appliance maintenance tips you can handle yourself, it is important to know your limits. Modern appliances are no longer just mechanical gears and belts; they are complex “smart” machines that combine high-voltage electrical systems with sensitive computer boards. A simple DIY attempt to force a part into place can often fry a main control board, turning a $150 repair into a $800 replacement.
Safety Warning: Be especially careful with signs of electrical stress. If you ever notice a “hot” smell, hear a buzzing sound that wasn’t there before, or see your lights flicker when an appliance turns on, these are not maintenance issues—they are safety hazards.
If you spot a deeper problem while performing these routine checks, don’t risk your safety or your warranty.
Give us a call today for a professional diagnostic inspection. We have the specialized tools to identify voltage irregularities and sensor failures that the naked eye can’t see.
