Fridge warm but running — lights on, food spoiling. Freezer cold but fresh-food side warm. Frost buildup on the back wall of the freezer.
Freezer running warm, food thawing. Heavy frost on walls and packages. Motor runs constantly or cycles loudly.
Ice maker stopped producing entirely. Cubes small, hollow, or clumped together. Ice tastes or smells off.
Washer won't drain — water standing in the tub. Won't spin, or clothes come out soaking. Fills slowly, overfills, or won't fill at all.
Dryer runs but produces no heat. Tumbles but clothes stay damp after a full cycle. Drum won't turn — humming or dead silent.
Dishes still dirty, cloudy, or gritty after a cycle. Water standing in the tub bottom. Leaking from the door or underneath.
Oven won't heat at all, or preheats forever. Temperature far off — burning or undercooking. Bake works but broil doesn't (or the reverse).
Gas burner clicks but won't light, or lights weakly. Electric element cold, or stuck on high. Oven and stovetop faults on the same unit.
One burner zone not heating (glass or coil). Induction zone flashing errors or not detecting pans. Touch controls unresponsive or beeping on their own.
Runs but doesn't heat food. Turntable not spinning. Door latch or switch faults — won't start.
Disposal hums but won't spin — jammed flywheel. Completely dead, no sound at all. Leaking from the bottom, side, or sink flange.
Cooler running warm — won't hold set temperature. Frost or ice building up inside. Compressor short-cycling or running constantly.
Dishwasher install — leveling, water, drain, and leak test. Range and cooktop hookup with anti-tip and level checks. Wall oven and built-in fitting.
Refrigerator coil cleaning and temperature verification. Dryer vent clearing — the full run, not just the trap. Dishwasher descale: sump, arms, and filter system.
Refrigerator or freezer warming up with food at risk. Washer, dishwasher, or water line actively leaking. Burning smell from any appliance.
Reach-in refrigerators and freezers running warm. Commercial ice machines — no ice, slow ice, scale buildup. Break room and office kitchen appliances.
Lights on but warm is the classic Mt. Juliet call. The usual causes are an evaporator fan, a defrost system fault, or dirty condenser coils, most of them one-part repairs. Keep the doors shut to hold the cold and call us, because perishables have a short clock.
Run the 50 percent rule: if the repair is less than about half the installed cost of a comparable new appliance and the unit has life left, repair usually wins. Our repair vs replace guide walks through the math, and your technician will run your real numbers.
Treat active water as urgent. Close the washer supply valves if you can reach them, mop up what you can, and call. Water under flooring does its damage quietly and quickly, especially in laundry rooms on upper floors.
Usually Wilson County hard water: mineral scale on spray arms, the sump, and glassware itself. Sometimes it is a worn inlet valve or a pump losing pressure. Descaling helps, and a diagnosis separates the cosmetic from the mechanical.
We would not for long. Slow drying often means a vent restriction, and a vent choked with lint makes the dryer work harder and run hotter. A vent and element check is a small visit compared to the wear it prevents.
One call gets a real technician on the way. Mon-Fri: 7AM - 7PM · Sat: 8AM - 4PM · 24/7 Emergency.
