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

Left Home With a Burner On?

You're halfway to the lake and a thought hits you: did I turn off the stove? Most cooktop burners have no timer and no automatic shutoff, so a burner left on keeps going until someone turns it off. A pan that boils dry can scorch, smoke and, with oil or food in it, catch fire.

What to do:

• Call someone with a key who can get there quickly, such as a neighbor, a relative or a friend nearby.
• If smoke or flames are reported, or a smoke alarm can be heard from outside, call 911 and tell them no one is home.
• Check your range's app if it has one; some newer ranges can show their status or turn the oven off remotely. Many can't turn off a cooktop burner from afar.
• Head back yourself if no one else can go.

When you get home:

• Turn the burner off and air out the kitchen.
• Leave the pan to cool in place before you move it.
• Look over the cooktop: a glass top with a crack or a white haze, a gas burner with a scorched cap, or a knob that turns more loosely than before.

Book a visit if the cooktop was damaged, a burner won't light or won't shut off cleanly, or a knob seems loose on its valve. Get in the habit of checking every knob before you walk out the door; it takes a second.

The Fridge Quit Right After You Cleaned the Coils

Cleaning the condenser coils is good upkeep. So it's alarming when the fridge goes quiet the same afternoon. Often something got bumped during the job, and you can spot it in a minute or two.

Check these, in order:

• The plug. Pulling the fridge out can tug the plug partway out of the outlet.
• The breaker or GFCI outlet, in case the outlet tripped while you worked.
• The power cord, which may be pinched under a wheel or against the wall after pushing the fridge back.
• The condenser fan, near the compressor at the bottom back. A brush can knock the blade out of line or push a wire against it. With the fridge unplugged, look for a blade that's bent or blocked.
• The water line, which can kink as the fridge rolls back, stopping the ice maker.
• The toe grille, if you took it off; some models need it in place to steer air across the coil.

Plug the fridge back in and listen. You should hear the compressor and the fan within a few minutes, though some models wait a while before they start.

Call us if the fridge stays silent, clicks without starting, the fan blade won't spin freely, or you smell something hot near the compressor. Unplug it in that last case. A damaged fan, a loose wire or a start part can be the cause.

Wine Cooler Door Left Open All Night

Someone grabbed a bottle and didn't push the door shut, and by morning the cooler is warm, the compressor is running hard and there's water on the floor of the cabinet. Wine handles a short swing better than you might think. One warm night rarely ruins a bottle, as long as it isn't repeated.

What to do:

• Close the door firmly and make sure it seals all the way around.
• Leave the bottles in place and let the cooler pull back down; opening it to check slows things.
• Wipe up the water on the cabinet floor. It's melted frost from the cold plate, and too much of it can overflow the drain.
• Check what kept the door open: a bottle sticking out, a shelf left out on its rollers, or a door that doesn't swing shut on its own.
• Give it a day to settle before you judge the temperature.

Book a visit if the cooler still can't reach its setting after a day, ice keeps building on the back wall, water keeps pooling, or the door won't close by itself. A seal, a hinge, the drain or a fan may need work, and only EPA 608 certified technicians touch the refrigerant.
