Signs your oven needs to be repaired

Schedule An Appointment

1. Food isn’t cooked like normal

Ovens really have only one job: to prepare food. Because this is their primary task, it may end up being how you notice there is something wrong with your appliance. If meals you’ve cooked before are coming out colder than usual, or even hotter or burnt, it very well could be a sign something is up with your oven. A change in pattern is a great way to notice an issue, so keep that in mind if your begin seeing something different as your prepare your dishes.

2. Pilot light won’t turn on

If you have a gas oven and your pilot light won’t turn on, call us. Without being lit, your oven is essentially useless. The bigger issue is that, although the light may not be taking shape, your oven could still be emitting dangerous, invisible gasses into your home. This is why you should immediately call a professional if your pilot light does not work.

3. Strange noises

If you begin to hear uncommon sounds coming from your oven, take note. It could be evidence that a task that was once easy to do has become difficult. For example, if you have an electric oven and, when you turn it on, it clicks for a little bit before beginning to work normally, don’t let the slight delay sneak past you. An issue that’s small now could become big tomorrow.

If your oven is causing you problems, trust the technicians at Able Appliance & HVAC Service to provide you with honest answers and personal care.

If you have it, we can probably fix it. Based in Bristow, VA, we service many areas, including Virginia, Maryland, the District of Columbia, and North Virginia.

Freezers

Whether you own a separate freezer or only the one on your refrigerator, you count on it to keep perishable items frozen for later use. If the freezer fails, you may lose hundreds of dollars worth of food. Some warning signs of freezer malfunction include:

  • Water leaks
  • Frost or ice buildup
  • Strange sounds
  • Temperature variations
  • Constantly running compressor

The freezer also might just stop working.

Ice Makers

Many people enjoy the convenience of built-in ice makers. Signs that yours isn’t working correctly:

  • The outside ejector doesn’t produce ice.

Common issues include clogged water lines, incorrectly set thermostats, unlevel mounting, and clogged water filters.

Gone are the days when someone had to wash dishes by hand in the sink daily. Most people use their dishwashers every day to avoid that manual task. You may notice:

  • Your dishes aren’t clean after a wash cycle.
  • The dishwasher won’t run.
  • The machine won’t fill or drain properly.
  • Your dishwasher has a foul odor.
  • Operation makes more noise than usual.

  • The temperature is too hot or too cold, not adjusting with the thermostat.
  • Water leaks onto the floor.
  • The water dispenser won’t release water.
  • The appliance makes loud noises.

Most of these issues are easily repaired.
