A Fridge Squeezed Into a Tight Alcove

Many condo and older-house kitchens were built around a smaller refrigerator, so a newer one often goes into the opening with almost no space to spare. A refrigerator has to get rid of the heat it pulls out of the food. When that heat has nowhere to go, the compressor runs longer and longer and the parts around it age faster.

Signs it's boxed in:

• The side panels or the top feel hot, not just a little warm.
• It runs almost nonstop, and the fresh-food side drifts warmer on hot afternoons.
• The grille at the bottom is blocked by a rug, a floor mat or stored items.

What helps:

• Read the installation section of the manual. It lists the clearance your model needs at the top, the sides and the back.
• Keep the toe grille open. Many models pull air in and push it out through that grille.
• Leave room behind it, so the cord, the water line and the coil aren't pressed against the wall.
• Clean the condenser coil under or behind the fridge, unplugged, a couple of times a year.

If the fridge still runs hot with the right clearance, the condenser fan may have stopped or the coil may be packed with lint and dust. A technician can check both in minutes, and either can be put right before the compressor takes damage.

A Coil Burner Stuck on High

Older electric ranges with coil elements have a burner switch behind each knob. It clicks power on and off to hold the heat level you choose. When that switch fails, the burner may glow bright red on every setting, refuse to heat at all, or stay on after you turn the knob to off.

• If a burner won't turn off, switch the range off at the breaker and leave it off until it's repaired.
• To narrow it down, with the power off and the cooktop cool, you can swap two coils of the same size. If the fault moves with the coil, the element is bad; if it stays in place, the switch or the socket is.
• Look at the socket under the coil. A blackened or melted socket has to be replaced, or a new coil will burn out too.
• Don't wrap the drip pans in foil if the manual warns against it; trapped heat can damage the socket and the wiring.

The technician tests the switch, the element, the socket and the wiring behind the cooktop, replaces what failed and runs every burner on low, medium and high before calling the job finished.

A Smell From Under the Fridge

A frost-free refrigerator melts the frost off its cooling coil on a regular cycle. That water runs down a drain tube into a shallow pan near the compressor, and warm air from the condenser fan evaporates it. When the pan collects spilled juice, dust or a slow leak, mold can grow and the smell drifts out from under the fridge.

• Find the pan. On many models it slides out from behind the bottom grille; on others you reach it from the back, with the fridge pulled out and unplugged.
• Wash it in warm, soapy water, rinse and dry it, and set it back in its spot.
• Wipe the floor under the fridge while you have it out.
• Watch the water level. If the pan fills faster than it dries, the water is coming from somewhere else, such as a leaking supply line or a cracked drain tube.

If the smell returns within days, or water reaches the floor, book a visit. The technician checks the drain path, the water line connections and the condenser fan that helps the pan dry out.
