A Freezer Alarm That Won't Stop Beeping

Many refrigerators sound an alarm when a door stays open for a minute or two. Some also beep when the freezer warms past a set point, for instance after the power has been out. Knowing which alarm you're hearing tells you what to do next.

A door alarm:

• Look for something blocking the door, such as an ice bin pushed out of place, a tall bottle or a bag of frozen vegetables.
• Run a finger along the gasket to find folds or tears.
• Check the level. If the fridge leans forward, the doors may not swing fully closed.

A temperature alarm:

• The display may flash or show a high-temperature warning. Press the alarm button, as the manual describes, to quiet it.
• Watch the numbers for a few hours with the door shut. They should drop back to normal.
• Sort the food if the freezer warmed for a long time; anything still holding ice crystals can stay frozen, per USDA.

If the alarm keeps returning with the door closed and the temperatures look fine, the door switch, a sensor or the control may be at fault. Unplugging the fridge to silence it only resets the problem for a while.

Ice Frozen in the Door Chute

Through-the-door ice dispensers have a chute and a small flap that closes after each use. If the flap doesn't seal, warm, humid air slips into the chute and freezes, and before long the ice can't get through.

• Clear the chute with a cloth soaked in warm water. Don't chip at it with a knife, a screwdriver or an ice pick; they can crack the chute or puncture a part.
• Empty the ice bin, break up clumps and let it dry before you put it back.
• Check that the flap closes all the way. Crumbs or a sliver of ice can hold it open.
• Use the dispenser now and then. Ice that sits unused for weeks tends to fuse together.

On some models a small heater keeps the flap from freezing, and if that heater fails, ice keeps coming back no matter how often you clear it. Book a visit if the chute refreezes within a day or two, the dispenser motor hums without moving ice, or water drips from the chute. The technician tests the flap, the heater, the motor and the door switch.

An Oven That Takes Ages to Preheat

Preheating should take roughly the same time every time. When it starts dragging, the oven is telling you something.

On a gas oven, most models use a glow-bar igniter that has to get hot enough before the gas valve opens. As the igniter weakens, it takes longer and longer to light, and you may hear a loud whoosh when the gas finally catches. If the oven doesn't light within a minute or two, or you smell gas, turn it off, open a window and don't try again until it has been checked.

On an electric oven, many models use both the bake and the broil element during preheat. If one has burned out, the oven still warms up, only much more slowly, and food may brown on top but stay pale underneath. With the oven off and cool, look for an element with a break, a blister or a dull spot.

Other causes include a temperature sensor that reads wrong and a door gasket that lets heat escape. The technician measures the igniter's current draw or the element's resistance, checks the sensor, and replaces only what failed.
