Fridge or Oven Down in Conley, GA? Same- or Next-Day Repair

The CO Alarm Sounded While the Oven Was On

The carbon monoxide alarm starts sounding while the gas oven bakes or the burners are lit. Don't stop to work out why. Carbon monoxide has no color and no smell, and the alarm is the only warning you get.

Right now:

• Turn off the oven and the burners if you can do it on your way out.
• Get everyone outside, pets included, into fresh air.
• Call 911 from outside. If you also smell gas, call the gas utility once you're out.
• Stay out until firefighters or the utility say the house is safe.
• Watch for symptoms. The CDC lists headache, dizziness, weakness, an upset stomach, vomiting, chest pain and confusion. Tell the 911 dispatcher if anyone has them.

Why a range can give off carbon monoxide:

• Burner flames burning poorly, yellow, lazy or smoky instead of crisp and blue, from clogged ports or a burner that's out of place.
• The wrong gas setup, such as a range set for natural gas running on propane, or the other way around.
• Foil on the oven floor or a blocked oven vent, which chokes off the air the flame needs.
• Using the oven to heat the house, which runs it for hours with the door open.

After the house is cleared, leave the range off until a technician has checked it. Our technicians look at the burner flames, the oven burner, the vent, the air shutters and the gas settings, and replace what's causing the bad burn.

Keep CO alarms near sleeping areas and test them monthly. The CDC suggests changing their batteries every spring and fall.

Conley Problems That Shouldn't Wait

• The CO alarm sounds with the oven or burners on. Get outside and call 911.
• A musty smell or a soft spot in the floor by the fridge. A slow leak from the water line or the drain pan.
• Yellow, smoky burner flames. Clogged ports or an air setting that's off.
• Soot on the oven door or walls. The oven isn't burning its gas cleanly.
• A reach-in leaving a puddle on the floor. A clogged drain or a failed pan heater.
• A freezer running nonstop with frost on the back panel. A defrost fault.
• An ice maker producing less and less ice. A leaking line or a weak water valve.

A reach-in pulls water out of the air every time its door opens. That moisture freezes onto the evaporator coil, melts during defrost and runs down a drain into a pan, where a heater or a hot refrigerant line evaporates it. When water starts turning up on the floor in front of the unit or under it, part of that path has quit.

What usually goes wrong:

• A clogged drain line, blocked by slime, food bits or ice.
• A pan that can't keep up because its heater or hot line has failed.
• A cracked pan, or a drain tube that slipped out of place.
• A unit that isn't level, so the water runs away from the drain.
• A torn door gasket that lets in extra humid air, which makes more water than the system can handle.

What to do now: wipe the floor and set out a wet-floor sign, because a puddle on kitchen tile is a fall waiting to happen. Check that the unit sits level and that the gaskets are whole. Clear the drain only the way the manufacturer's manual describes, and keep sharp tools away from the coil. Product inside still has to stay at 41°F or below under the FDA Food Code, so watch the thermometer too. If water keeps coming back, choose Business in the form and tell us the brand and model.

A Hidden Leak Behind the Fridge

A refrigerator with an ice maker or a water dispenser has a supply line running into the back, and a drain pan underneath. A slow drip from either one can go on for weeks without a puddle you'd notice, soaking into the floor instead.

Signs of a hidden leak:

• A musty smell near the fridge that cleaning doesn't fix.
• Wood or laminate flooring that cups, lifts or feels soft in front of the fridge.
• Dark stains on the baseboard or the wall behind it.
• Swollen cabinet sides next to the refrigerator.
• Spots of mold on the wall or floor once you pull the fridge out.

What to do:

• Shut off the water to the fridge. The valve is often behind the fridge, under the kitchen sink or in the crawl space or basement.
• Check for wet outlets. If water has reached the outlet or the cord, switch off the breaker before you unplug anything.
• Pull the fridge out slowly, watching the water line.
• Dry everything fast. The EPA says water-damaged areas should be dried within 24 to 48 hours to keep mold from growing. Use towels and fans.
• Size up any mold. The EPA says a patch smaller than about 10 square feet can usually be cleaned by the homeowner, with gloves, eye protection and an N95 mask. Larger areas, or mold inside the walls, call for a mold professional.

We fix the source: the water inlet valve, the supply line connection, the fill tube, the dispenser parts, the drain pan or the defrost drain, using genuine or OEM-approved parts.
