need repair on Maytag electric dryer not running.
Charlotte S
I have two Kenmore Refrigerators that need help. The one in the garage is not cooling, or freezing...but is is blowing out air. The one in the house, the water dispenser slowly has stopped. I replaced the filter and the water is dispensing again, but VERY slowly. Any suggestions? Is there a Fee for just coming out to look at both refrigerators?

Oven And Stove Repair
Most oven repair and stove repair problems involve appliances that have stopped running completely, bake improperly, have malfunctioning burners, or burners that work intermittently, and problems with cleaning. Before you try any of the at-home oven repair troubleshooting tips given below, make sure that the power supply to the unit is cut off. If it is a gas stove repair, remember to shut off the gas supply valve or the main gas connection in the house. In case of an oven that has stopped completely, first determine if the appliance is receiving power. Look for a light that turns on. If not, there may be a fuse or circuit breaker that's blown. There may also be an interruption with the wiring from the house or burnt wiring at the back of the oven or range. If your oven won't bake properly, there could be a burnt out baking element that has to be replaced. Similarly, problems with broiling in your oven could be the result of a burnt broiler element. Frequent stove repairs involve burnt out heating elements. Heating elements can't be replaced, once they have been burnt, and have to be replaced.
Ovens can often be prone to burnt out baking and broiling elements. Although any heating element has an expected life of many years, the element can get burnt out, sooner rather than later. There are very little oven repairs you can do to fix the burnt element, and you may have to replace it. Burners can also burn out, and these have to be replaced too. Remember that when any heating element is burnt out, you not only have to replace the element, but also the switch that controls it. Stove repairs can frequently involve shorts in the switch contacts. This is why your burner stays on a high setting, no matter how much you turn the knob. Call a stove repair professional, and get the switch replaced.
To avoid the need for expensive oven repairs and stove repairs, clean your appliances regularly. Clean the buttons and knobs as well as the surface of the control panel with a non abrasive cleaner. Clean carefully around burners and elements, and look for any signs of blisters on burner coils. Clean the burner drip pans, and replace them every 2 years.
