2. DEEP FREEZER SERVICES
• Many times the user is so frustrated and upset over the
sudden and unexpected change in plans; the common sense
items that should be checked are forgotten.
• Four common sense appliance repair tips are to look at the
appliance, check the power, check the water and make sure
that the door is properly closed.
• This is not the time to be paying a service repair person a high
fee to close the door on a dryer or plug-in a dishwasher.
3. APPLICATION
• A washing machine making horrible noises may have worked
its way out of place and become out of balance.
• A dishwasher that is dripping water on the floor may simply
have a lid covering the outlet. A dryer that is not drying
clothes properly may have a full lint trap.
• By taking a deep breath and contemplating the appliance, the
owner may solve the problem and save a lot of work.
• The next step is to make sure the appliance is plugged in to an
electrical plug properly. Occasionally these become loose and
the right connection is not made.
5. WORKING
• Re-level or repair any exterior steps or decks which moved or
were damaged due to winter frost or settling.
• Check for damaged or improperly sloped gutters. Clean out all
gutters and downspouts.
• Make sure they are free from leaks and rust and ensure all
spikes, straps and clips are tightly fastened. Seal any loose
joints and seams.
• Make sure downspouts are not damaged and carry all roof
water at least five feet away from the foundation. Downspout
extensions will improve any basement seepage conditions.
• Clear all drainage ditches and culverts of debris.
6. • SUMMER
• Inspect window putty on the outside of glass (single panes) and replace if
cracking or falling off.
• Lubricate all door hinges and tighten screws as needed. Lubricate squeaky
door hinges with lightweight machine oil. Free sticky doors by trimming
edges or shimming hinges with thin pieces of cardboard.
• Deep clean all carpets and rugs.
• Check caulking around all sinks, bathtubs, and showers. Some types of
caulking become brittle with age, and therefore useless as a water seal.
Replace with a long-lasting resilient caulking material, such as silicone or
latex.
• Vacuum bathroom fan grille.
• Monitor basement humidity and avoid relative humidity levels above 60
per cent. Use a dehumidifier to maintain safe relative humidity. Clean or
replace air conditioning filter, and wash or replace ventilation system
filters if necessary
8. APPLICATION
• The next step is to make sure the appliance of deep
freezer is plugged in to an electrical plug properly.
Occasionally these become loose and the right
connection is not made.
• The second step is to make sure the plug-in has
electricity; if the breaker is thrown or a fuse burnt out,
there will be no power.
• Plugging in an electric lamp or a small electrical
appliance will verify the presence of power. If there is no
electricity, the electrical panel or breaker box needs to be
checked.
9. BENIFITS
• If a door is not properly closed, an appliance may not
operate correctly. A dryer will not turn on if that door is
ajar.

properly if the door is out of alignment or the gasket
needs to be replaced.
• These four common sense appliance repair tips may save
homeowners time, frustration and wasted effort.
• There is no need to disassemble an electric motor if the
plug-in used has no power. Starting with the basics often
solves the problem.
