Appliance repair guides by appliance
Seven repair categories, each built around the faults that actually happen: no heat, no drain, no spin, frost, uneven baking and ignition failures. Every guide lists the test order before the parts list.
Dryer Repair
Diagnose a dryer that won't heat, takes multiple cycles, squeals or won't start. Test the vent, thermal fuse, element, igniter and belt before buying parts.
Diagnose it →Freezer Repair
Fix a freezer that won't freeze, ices up, leaks water or runs constantly. Check the gasket, defrost system, evaporator fan and condenser coils first.
Diagnose it →Oven Repair
Diagnose an oven that won't heat, bakes unevenly, runs hot or cold, or has a door that won't close. Test the elements, temperature sensor and control board.
Diagnose it →Stove & Cooktop Repair
Fix a gas burner that won't light, an electric element that stays cold, or an induction cooktop that won't detect a pan. Test the igniter, switch and element.
Diagnose it →Stove, Cooktop & Oven Repair
Repair a freestanding or slide-in range when the cooktop and oven fail together or separately. Diagnose shared control boards, ignition and power problems.
Diagnose it →Washer Repair
Fix a washer that won't drain or spin, leaks, won't fill, or walks across the floor. Check the drain pump, lid switch, inlet valve and suspension.
Diagnose it →Washer-Dryer Combo Repair
Diagnose a washer-dryer combo or laundry center that won't dry, drains slowly, smells musty or locks the door. Check the ventless condenser and drain system.
Diagnose it →How to use these guides
Start with the symptom that matches your appliance, run the checks in order, and only then order a part. If the appliance is gas-fueled, unplugged refrigerant or a 240 V circuit, read the safety notes first — some of these jobs are licensed work.
