Common fridge and freezer problems
There are several areas where your fridge or freezer might fail, especially as it gets older. The symptoms are usually easy to spot, but the cause might be harder to find. Luckily in many cases, professional freezer and fridge repair can give you more years from your appliance.
Common fridge problems include...
Fridge being too warm
This is often a problem with the thermostat, the evaporator fan or the condenser fan. It may just be that the coils or connections are dirty and need cleaning, or a part may need to be replaced.
Fridge being too cold
If things are icing up in your fridge then this can also indicate a problem with the temperature control thermostat or the thermistor. The temperature control board which supplies the compressor motor may also have malfunctioned.
Ice maker not working
If your ice dispenser is functioning then the water inlet valve may be clogged up or twisted or the filter might be blocked. The ice motor may also have broken.
Common freezer problems include...
Frost build-up
There might be a problem with the door seals or the defrost heater may need replacing. If the frost is near the back, there may be an issue with the coils or defrost cycle.
Freezer is making strange noises
Some noises are to be expected but if your freezer is making a strange whirring noise or sounds a lot louder than usual there could be a problem. The evaporator fan motor might need replacing or the condenser fan may have an issue.
Freezer is too warm
The most likely problem is with the defrost thermostat.

Common oven and rangehood problems
Cooking equipment that doesn't work properly makes meal preparation difficult, so if your rangehood isn't co-operating or your oven is not working at all or is cooking inconsistently, prompt rangehood and oven repair is the answer.
Common oven and stove top problems include...
Oven does not heat or cooks inconsistently
Inconsistent heating or not heating at all could suggest a faulty thermostat or a broken element in the oven.
Door not sealing properly
If the door seal is worn or damaged, then your oven door may not seal properly which could lead to food not cooking properly.
Elements are not heating up
There could be a problem with one element that needs replacing or the electrical system might need looking at. If you have a gas cooktop it may be a problem with the ignitor.
Common rangehood problems include...
Fan not working
If the fan is not working but the light is, there might be a specific problem with the fan switch or with the motor.
Neither the fan nor the light works
If nothing works on your rangehood there may be a problem with the connections or the control panel might be broken.
Fan is very noisy
A noisy fan could be a sign of damaged fan blades or a damaged fan motor. The rangehood may also be coming loose from the wall or parts may be damaged which is causing a banging or knocking.

The seals may be worn or there may be an issue with the water inlet valve or the float assembly.
