- If you are having difficulty with your home appliance, please look at the following helpful tips -

Mark's Refrigerator Tips If your refrigerator is not running or is not cold enough: Check the Airflow: Clean & remove anything blocking the air flow around the outside of the refrigerator -on top, underneath, behind, beside, in front of, etc. Allow 2 or 3 inches of clearance all the way around. If there are condenser coils on the rear of the box, make sure the box is several inches from the wall and that nothing is on top at the rear, blocking the heat from coming off the coils. If the condenser coils are underneath the refrigerator, clean the coils with a vacuum cleaner thoroughly at least twice a year. Check the Door Seal: If the door is sticking or not closing properly. Wipe off the face of the gasket with a wet rag and make sure the interior shelves, drawers and food are not preventing the door from closing from the inside. Check the Thermostat: Turn the thermostat up a setting or two. If it comes on, let it run for 24 hours or so, then check the temperature again to see if your thermostat is working correctly. If you do not notice any change in temperature, you may need to replace the thermostat.

Mark's Freezer Tips

If the unit is not self-defrosting and the temperatures begin to rise: Check the frost buildup on the inside of the freezer. If it is heavily frosted, manually defrost the freezer by turning it off at the thermostat. Unplug from the wall and allow 12 hours for the unit to defrost, with both doors open.

If the unit is not an automatic self-defrosting model: Defrost the unit once a year or as often as needed. Follow the proper defrosting methods. DO NOT USE a knife, pick, hammer, chisel, screwdriver, etc. or any sharp object)

Tech Tip - Follow all procedures outlined under the refrigerator heading.

Tech Tip - Do not over-pack the freezer.

Mark's Stove/Oven Repair Tips

Electric Stove/Oven

If your burners are not heating:

-Make the heat coils are sitting correctly in their cavities and that the connection's are free of corrosion.

-Make sure the clock is set on the automatic time bake mode.

Gas Stove/Oven

If the top burners are not lighting: Wipe off the burner with a hot, damp rag and then dry completely.

If your oven is not heating: Make sure the clock is set on the manual and not the automatic cycle.

-Raise up the top and keep the area clean and free of grease build-up.

Mark's Dishwasher Repair Tips If the dishes are not getting clean: -Make sure the water is hot enough. It should be at least 140 degrees, which is hot enough to burn you - VERY HOT! If it is not hot enough, turn the hot water heater thermostat up to a higher setting. -Make sure the lower spray arm is unobstructed and turning freely. -Make sure the bottom inside the dishwasher is clean and free of debris. -Make sure you are following the proper loading procedures. Use the proper amount of detergent and make sure the detergent is fresh (check expiration or "best if used by" date.

If the door isn't closing: Make sure the latch assembly is unrestricted and latching properly. Make sure nothing is blocking the door from opening and closing properly.

Leaking: Make sure you are following the proper loading procedures, including proper type and amounts of detergents. Run the unit through cycle while empty - if it doesn't leak, it's probably a loading problem.

-Make sure the racks are positioned properly.

-Make sure the door is unrestricted around the opening

WASHER REPAIR TIPS

-Make sure the lid is closed properly.

-Make sure the timer and all of the controls are set properly

-Make sure both water faucets are turned on.

DRYER REPAIR TIPS

DISPOSAL REPAIR TIPS

If the unit jams or buzz': Turn the unit off. After turning the unit off, remove anything that has fallen into the grinding chamber.

-Turn the unit off. After turning the unit off, insert an "un jamming" tool into the bottom and turn clockwise. Once the tool turns freely, remove whatever was causing the jam.

-If the unit is dead, press the red reset button located on the bottom of the disposal - if the unit begins to hum and the reset trips again, it is still jammed. Repeat step #2 and #3.

Tech Tip - Always run water in the sink when you operate the unit.
