When an appliance breaks down, the first step is deciding whether it’s a “quick fix” you can handle or if you need to call in a professional. Here is a guide on how to handle repairs for your home appliances.
The “First Aid” Checklist (Try these first)
Before spending money on a service call, check these common culprits:
Power & Reset: Is it plugged in? Has the circuit breaker tripped? Many modern appliances (like LED TVs and Washing Machines) can be “reset” by unplugging them for 10 minutes.
Filters & Vents: * Dryer: Is the lint trap or vent pipe clogged? (This is the #1 cause of heating issues).
Dishwasher: Check the filter at the bottom for food debris.
Washing Machine: Clean the coin trap/drain filter (usually a small door at the bottom front).
Leveling: If your washing machine or fridge is vibrating or making loud noises, ensure it is perfectly level on the floor.
Common Issues by Appliance
If the basic checks don’t work, identify the likely problem to give the technician a clear description:
Appliance Common Symptoms Likely Cause
Washing Machine Not spinning / Water not draining Blocked pump, worn belt, or faulty lid switch.
Refrigerator Not cooling / Leaking water Dusty condenser coils or a clogged defrost drain.
Dishwasher Dishes stay dirty / Doesn’t drain Clogged spray arms or a faulty inlet valve.
LED TV No picture (sound only) / Lines on screen Backlight failure or a malfunctioning T-Con board.
Dryer No heat / Long drying times Blown thermal fuse or heating element failure.
How to Find a Reliable Repair Service
Don’t just pick the first result on Google. Use these criteria to vet a shop:
Brand Authorization: If your appliance is under warranty, you must use a manufacturer-authorized service center (e.g., Samsung, LG, or Whirlpool authorized) or you may void the warranty.
Pricing Structure: Ask if they have a flat diagnostic fee (usually RS–500 TO 1000) that gets applied toward the final repair cost if you hire them.
Warranty on Work: A reputable pro should offer at least a 30 to 90-day warranty on both parts and labor.
Parts: Ask if they use OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts rather than “universal” parts, which can fail sooner.
The “Repair vs. Replace” Rule
A good rule of thumb is the 50% Rule: If the repair cost is more than 50% of the price of a new appliance, and the unit is more than half-way through its expected lifespan (usually 8–10 years for most), it’s usually better to replace it.
