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

A Burner Came On With Something Sitting on It

A cat jumps onto the counter, a hip bumps a front knob, a damp cloth slides across a touch control, or a child presses every button in reach. A burner comes on under a cutting board, a pizza box, the mail, a plastic bowl or an empty pot. Within minutes there's smoke, melting plastic or flames.

What to do:

• Turn the burner off and move anything you safely can away from it.
• If a pan is burning, slide a lid or a baking sheet over it and leave it covered. Never pour water on a grease fire.
• If the fire spreads or won't go out, leave the house and call 911.
• If plastic melted onto a glass top, many manuals say to scrape it off while it's still warm, wearing an oven mitt and using a cooktop razor scraper. Check your manual first.

How to keep it from happening again:

• Use the cooktop lock if your range has one. Many touch-control cooktops lock with a key you press and hold.
• Keep the cooktop clear. It's tempting counter space, but anything stored there can end up on a hot burner.
• Wipe spills off touch controls right away. Liquid on the panel can register as a press.

Call us when a touch control turns on with nobody near it, an element heats with the knob off, or the controls beep and respond on their own after a spill. Until then, switch off the range at the breaker.

A commercial ice machine knows when to stop by its bin control. Depending on the model, that's a thermostat bulb, an electronic sensor or a small curtain that ice pushes against. When the bin is full, the control pauses production; as ice is used, it starts again. When the control fails or gets fooled, the machine goes wrong in one of two directions.

It stops too early. The bin is half empty and the machine sits idle. Look for:

• Ice heaped in one corner against the sensor, while the rest of the bin is low.
• A scoop or a bag leaning on the sensor. Keep the scoop in its holder instead.
• Scale or slime on the sensor, which can make it read "full" all the time.

It never stops. Ice piles past the bin, the bin door won't close, and cubes spill onto the floor, where they're a slip hazard and have to be thrown away. A failed or disconnected bin control is the usual reason.

Level the ice in the bin now and then, and clean the sensor during the regular cleaning your manual lays out. If the machine still stops early or overfills, choose Business in the form and send the make and model.

Water Dripping From the Fridge's Filter Housing

Water drips from the ceiling of the fresh-food section, collects in the crisper drawers or runs out from the grille at the bottom of the fridge. If your refrigerator has a water filter, its housing is one of the first places to check. Depending on the model, the filter sits inside the fresh-food section, in a back corner, behind the bottom grille or in the door.

Here's what to do:

• Close the water supply valve to the fridge so the leak stops.
• Take the filter out and reinstall it, turning it all the way until it locks. A filter that's crooked or only partly turned leaks.
• Check the seals. If the filter has rubber O-rings, make sure they're in place and not nicked.
• Use a filter made for your model. One that doesn't fit the housing exactly may not seal.
• Look closely at the housing. A crack, sometimes from a dropped filter or a frozen line, means the housing needs replacing.
• Dry the shelves and drawers, and throw out any open food that water dripped into.

Call us if the leak continues with the filter properly seated, you spot a crack, water is running inside the door, or ice is forming under the crisper drawers. We'll replace the housing or the line and test for leaks before we leave.
