Home Appliance Troubleshooting

 Tips Provided by Mr. Appliance.

 

Basic Troubleshooting Discipline

  • Note the exact symptoms caused by the problem with the appliance. Use all of your senses to assess the appliance: does something smell funny, look bent, sound different, vibrate too much, too hot, etc.
  • Check for external factors. Is the appliance properly installed, does the appliance have the correct voltage supplied to it, etc.
  • Check for internal and external physical damage such as broken parts, burnt elements or wires, oil leaks, etc.
  • Make sure the controls are on the proper setting.
  • Operate the appliance and let it run through it’s cycle. Check the cycle operation against the operational sequence described in the owner’s manual.
  • Using the information from the preceding steps, isolate the suspect circuit or mechanical system and identify the faulty component.

Correction Procedure:

  • Unplug the appliance.
  • Gain Access to the faulty part.
  • Isolate and/or remove the defective part.
  • Install the new component.
  • Re-attach all panels and screws.
  • Test the appliance for proper operation.
