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

A Draft Blew Out the Burner? Turn the Knob Off First

A ceiling fan on high, an open window, an air-conditioning vent or a box fan pointed at the cook can blow out a gas burner, especially on a low simmer. On many ranges, gas keeps flowing through a burner after its flame goes out. Some newer ranges try to relight the burner on their own, but you can't count on that unless your manual says so.

What to do the moment you notice:

• Turn that knob to off right away, before anything else.
• Open a window or a door and give the smell a few minutes to clear before you relight.
• Leave the house if the smell is strong. Don't flip light switches or light a match on the way out, and phone the gas utility or 911 once you're outside.
• Stop the draft before you cook again. Switch off the ceiling fan or close the window.
• Cook a little higher or with a lid when you can't avoid the draft, since a bigger flame resists it better.

When the burner is the problem rather than the breeze, call us. That includes a flame that keeps going out with no draft at all, a flame that lifts off the burner and floats, or a burner that lights only after many clicks. If you smell gas with every knob turned off, the gas utility comes first; we'll handle the range once the gas side is safe.

Markets, Restaurants and Warehouses Off Forest Parkway

Produce and food deliveries arrive in stacks, and the quickest way to unload them is to prop the cooler door open. Every minute that door stands open, warm, humid air pours into the box. That moisture freezes on the evaporator coil. Once the coil ices over, the fans push air through ice instead of past cold metal, and the box warms even after the door is shut. The unit may need a full defrost cycle before it can catch up.

Signs a delivery has iced the coil:

• Frost on the coil cover or on product near the fan.
• The box temperature climbs in the hour after the delivery.
• Water on the floor in front of the unit after the next defrost.
• The fans sound different, louder or scraping, as ice builds around them.

Habits that help: stage the delivery right by the door and load in short trips, let the door swing shut between trips instead of wedging it, keep cases away from the fan and the coil cover, and check the box with a probe thermometer about half an hour after the delivery. Cold-held food has to stay at 41°F or below under the FDA Food Code. If the box stays warm after the doors are closed and a defrost cycle has run, choose Business in the form and give us the brand and model.

The Water Dispenser Won't Stop Pouring

You let go of the paddle, and the water keeps running. The glass overflows, the drip tray fills and water starts across the floor. It's one of the messier fridge problems, and the fix starts with shutting off the water.

Right now:

• Set a pot under the dispenser and lay towels on the floor.
• Close the water supply valve for the fridge. It's usually behind the refrigerator, under the kitchen sink or in the basement or crawl space where the line starts.
• Unplug the refrigerator as well, which removes power from the dispenser controls on most models.
• Dry the floor and under the fridge so the water doesn't soak into it.

What causes it: a paddle stuck in the pressed position by dried juice or a bent bracket, a dispenser switch that stays closed, a control board holding the water valve open, or debris inside the valve that keeps it from closing. The same faults can make the ice dispenser run without stopping. Keep the water off until the cause is found. We test the paddle, the switch, the board and the valve, then replace only the part that failed.
