An Oven Running Hot or Cold Before a Holiday Meal

A big meal is the worst time to discover the oven is off by 30 or 40 degrees. Cakes dome and crack, roasts finish early on the outside and raw in the middle, or nothing browns. Before the holiday, it's worth a quick test.

How to check your oven:

• Put an oven thermometer on the middle rack, in the center.
• Preheat to 350°F and wait about 20 minutes after the preheat signal.
• Read the thermometer several times over 20 minutes. Ovens cycle above and below the setting, so take the average.
• Compare. A few degrees off is normal; a steady difference of 25°F or more means something needs attention.

What you can do:

• Look for a temperature offset in your oven's settings. Many electronic controls let you nudge the temperature up or down a little, and the owner's manual shows how.
• Check the door gasket for tears or gaps that let heat escape.
• Don't line the oven floor with foil unless the manual allows it; it can trap heat and damage the finish.

When to book: the difference is too large to offset, the temperature swings widely, the oven won't reach its setting at all, or it keeps heating after you turn it off. That last one is serious: switch off the breaker and call. The technician will test the temperature sensor, the elements or the gas igniter, and the control board.

Lettuce Freezing in the Fresh-Food Section

A refrigerator that's too cold is almost as frustrating as one that's too warm. Produce turns to mush, eggs crack and milk gets slushy. The fresh-food section should stay at 40°F or below, per the USDA, but not near freezing; many people aim for about 37°F.

Common causes:

• The setting. A dial or a touch control bumped to the coldest position.
• Food in front of the cold-air vent, usually at the back or top of the fresh-food side, which gets the blast of freezer air.
• A damper stuck open, letting too much cold air in.
• A temperature sensor reading wrong, so the control keeps cooling.
• A door left ajar that made the system run hard, then overshoot.

What to try: put a thermometer on the middle shelf, move delicate items away from the vent, set the control to the middle and wait a day. If items still freeze, or the temperature swings, book a visit. The technician will test the damper, the sensor and the control.

Water Under the Crisper Drawers

A small pool under the crisper drawers, or ice on the floor of the freezer, usually traces back to the defrost drain. To keep its cooling coil clear, a frost-free refrigerator switches on a small heater for a few minutes at regular intervals. That water runs down a drain at the back of the freezer and into a pan under the fridge, where it evaporates. If crumbs, ice or a stray piece of packaging block the drain, the water backs up and ends up inside the cabinet.

What you can do:

• Mop up the water and check the food in the crisper.
• Look at the back wall of the freezer for a sheet of ice; the blockage is often right there.
• Keep the drain area clear of bags and boxes.

Clearing a frozen drain properly means getting to it behind a panel, and the defrost heater may need testing too. Book a visit if the water comes back.
