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

Check for a Recall Before You Book a Repair

A refrigerator that smokes, a range burner that switches itself on, an oven door whose glass shatters: before you do anything else, take two minutes to check whether your model is under a safety recall.

How to check:

• Find the model and serial numbers. On a refrigerator, the label is usually inside the fresh-food section, on a side wall or the ceiling. On a range, look behind the storage drawer or on the frame when the oven door is open.
• Search the recall list at cpsc.gov, the site of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, by brand and product type, and compare the model numbers. Many manufacturers also have a recall lookup on their own sites.
• If your model is listed, follow the notice. Many recall notices say to stop using the product right away. The manufacturer arranges the remedy, which may be a repair, a replacement or a refund. That work goes through the manufacturer, not through an independent repair company like ours.
• Register new appliances with the maker, so future recall notices reach you directly.

While you check, keep the appliance off if it smoked, sparked, smelled of burning or gas, gave anyone a shock, or turned on by itself. Unplug it, or switch off its breaker if the plug is hard to reach or looks scorched.

If your model isn't on any list, book a visit. Our technicians track down the cause and replace the failed part with a genuine or OEM-approved one.

South Fulton Breakdown Signals

• Smoke, sparks or a burning smell from any appliance. Switch it off at the breaker, then check for a recall.
• A gas smell after the range was moved. A kinked or loosened connector; leave and call the gas utility from outside.
• A reach-in on an extension cord that trips the breaker. The cord can't carry what the compressor needs.
• A cooktop burner that lights by itself. A faulty switch or valve; stop using it.
• A warm fridge with a compressor that only clicks. A start relay or a compressor that won't start.
• A crack in the oven door glass. Leave the oven off until the glass is replaced.
• Frost building along the freezer door. A torn gasket or a sagging door.

Kitchens and Shops on Old National Highway

In a busy kitchen or a corner store, it's tempting to plug a new drink cooler or a second reach-in into a power strip or an extension cord. Commercial refrigeration pulls a big surge of current every time the compressor starts. A thin cord or a strip can't deliver it, the voltage sags, and the compressor struggles to get going.

Signs the power supply is the problem:

• The cord or the power strip feels warm.
• The breaker trips, often right as the compressor kicks on.
• The compressor clicks on and off without settling into a run.
• The unit runs warm, and the lights may dim when it starts.

What to do:

• Plug each unit straight into a grounded outlet that matches its plug and the voltage on its data plate.
• Check the manual for a dedicated circuit; many commercial units call for one.
• Retire the extension cord. OSHA rules say flexible cords may not be used as a substitute for permanent wiring.
• Have an electrician add circuits if the kitchen has run out of outlets.

A compressor that has been starved of power for weeks can damage its start parts or the compressor itself. Product held cold has to stay at 41°F or below under the FDA Food Code, so if a unit still runs warm or clicks after it's on its own outlet, choose Business in the form and send us the make and model.

Moved the Gas Range? Check the Connector

Pulling a gas range out to mop, clean or fetch a dropped spoon puts strain on the flexible gas connector, the corrugated metal tube between the wall valve and the back of the range. A tight bend, a twist or a range pushed back onto the connector can damage it or loosen its fittings.

Older connectors deserve extra care. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has warned that some old uncoated brass connectors can crack or break at their fittings, and that they should be replaced rather than moved. Many range manuals also call for a new connector whenever a range is installed.

Before you move the range:

• Turn off the gas at the shutoff valve behind it, if you can reach it safely.
• Pull it straight out, slowly, without twisting.

After you push it back:

• Look at the connector. It should curve gently, with no kinks, no flat spots and nothing pressing on it.
• Turn the gas back on and light each burner. The flames should be steady and blue.

If you smell gas at any point, don't light anything or flip switches. Turn off the valve only if it's within easy reach, get everyone out, and call the gas utility from outside. Never hunt for a leak with a flame.

A damaged connector should be replaced by a qualified gas installer or plumber. For the range itself, our technicians repair burners, valves, igniters and regulators, and check the burner flames once the work is done.
