Ice Maker Repair

Ice makers in your freezer provide the convenience of having a supply of ice on hand without the inconvenience of having to fill ice trays at you kitchen sink.

Freezer Ice Makers

These ice makers are found in your freezer compartment and provide a small amount of on demand ice for your family. The ice is either dispensed from your refrigerator's door or from the ice storage receptacle inside your freezer.

Ice Maker Problems

  • No ice
    Make sure your freezer temperature is set correctly, it must be between 0 - 5° F for the ice maker to perform correctly. Additionally, check to see the ice maker is in the operation setting. If the arm is moved beyond the indent, this turns the ice maker off as a safety feature.
  • Water is not flowing into the Ice Maker
    The inlet valve is usually to blame. When this valve malfunctions, there is no water supplied to the Ice Maker.
  • Ice cubes are malformed or small
    There is probably inadequate water pressure supplying your Ice Maker. This low pressure condition may be caused by a clogged water filter which is preventing proper water flow.
  • Ice cubes are too large
    If your cubes are oversized, a leaky or malfunctioning water inlet valve may be to blame.
  • Poor ice cube production
    If your refrigerator is in an excessively warm environment, ice production will decrease as it will take longer for your unit to produce a batch of ice.
  • No ice
    The inlet water temperature may be too high or your unit may have failed. If there is ice in the tray and your unit is not producing ice, the tray heater assembly, which slightly warms the cubes to enable them to be extracted, may be malfunctioning or have failed.

Ranges, Ovens and Stove Tops

Difficulties with Ranges, Ovens and Stove Tops can wreak havoc on a household, as these are the central components used everyday to create meals for your family. Call the professionals at Dillon Appliance Repair when issues arise and they will be promptly.

Common Issues

  • Burner won't come on
    The easiest check is to swap it with a known working burner to determine if it is the coil, the receptacle or the switch
  • The burner stay on High
    This is usually a bad switch.
  • The indicator light stays on
    This is usually a bad switch.
  • The oven door is latched closed
    The self-clean latch may be misaligned or the touch pad or oven control is defective.
  • The oven won't self-clean
    A defective self-clean latch, or components related to the safety side of the self-cleaning function will prevent the oven from entering into self-clean mode.
  • The oven won't bake or broil
    On a gas oven, this can indicate a bad igniter or valve/solenoid, a non-functioning thermocouple, or the flame front not enveloping the thermocouple correctly. On an electric oven, the heating element has failed and is no longer functional.
  • The oven doesn't heat
    On a gas oven, if the door gasket is damaged, it will allow heat to escape and your oven will take much longer to come up to temperature. On an electric oven, the controller or a bad relay may be at fault.
  • Temperature fluctuations
    Bad or failing thermostats, temperature sensors, selector switches and calibration issues may be to blame.

Dishwasher Repair

Dishwashers have become an integral part of today's home landscape. They provide convenience, efficiency and help give valuable time back. As the technology has developed, dishwashers have become more and more complex, with the addition of food grinders, water heaters, and digital controls. 

Dishwasher Issues

  • Cloudy Glassware
    This condition may be related to the way the dishwasher was loaded, the dishwasher liquid used, or very hard water.
  • Dishes not properly cleaned
    Dishes that have not been properly cleaned at the end of the cycle may indicate blocked sprayer arms, a worn or failing pump or washer impeller, or a non-functioning heating element.
  • Dishwasher hums and shuts down
    This condition is usually indicitive of a seized motor which will need replacement.
  • Wash cycles extremely long
    This condition may indicate a defective thermostat or a malfunctioning timer.
  • Dishwasher will not fill with water
    This condition may indicate a fill solenoid has failed, a bad valve, or a defective overflow float switch, all of which will prevent the water from filling into the dishwasher.
  • Water not pumping out
    This can be as simple as a clogged drain line, or a malfuctioning drain solenoid or drain impeller.
  • Leaking
    This can be caused by an incompatible soap, or using too much soap. It may also be caused by failing seals or gaskets or the pump assembly may be leaking.

  • Gaskets

Freezer Repair

Freezers, like their refrigerator counterparts, offer economy and convenience, allowing the frozen storage of food items for later use.

Residential Freezers

A freezer is a food storage appliance which allows storage at a temperature range of 0° F or lower. They are available in a multitude of sizes to satisfy any consumer. They received their name for the ability to maintain a constant temperature below the freezing point of water. The FDA states freezing food at these temperatures ensures safe storage and prevents the growth of bacteria.

Freezer Types

  • Upright
    The most convenient style with shelving and easy access to items. While not able to handle large odd-shaped items, they are a good choice for the organized user who requires quick and easy access to their items. They tend to take up less floor space than other types.
  • Chest
    These are the most economical to operate, but take up far more floor space. On the positive side, they allow every cubic inch of storage space to be utilized and can easily accommodate odd-shaped or large items. On a negative note, they do require the user to do a fair amount of bending, reaching and re-arranging of items within in order to get to the desired item.
  • Combos
    The home's refrigerator typically comes with a freezer compartment.

Common Issues

  • Freezer doesn't operate
    Verify the power switch is on, the unit is plugged in and there is power at the outlet. If it all checks out, contact Dillon Appliance Repair for a diagnosis.
  • Freezer overcooling
    This is an indication of evaporator issues, dirty evaporator coils or a clogged drain. If not repaired, this may cause excessive frosting and a reduction in storage capacity.
  • Freezer not maintaining a constant temperature
    There are many reasons a freezer will act in this manner. Door seals may be going bad, a door may have been left open, the unit is in a hot or humid area, temperature controls were reset, dirty or blocked coils, a bad or failing compressor, or a blocked interior vent to name a few. Once the obvious items have been checked and corrected, the freezer should stabilize within an hour or two.
  • Freezer not cooling
    Similar to a freezer not maintaining temperature, a freezer that is not cooling should be checked for the same items. If they all check out, contact the professionals at Anytime Anywhere Appliance for a quick and accurate diagnosis.
  • Door seals damaged or defective
    A poorly sealed freezer is costing you a large amount of money in energy costs. Test the seals with a dollar bill. If you are able to remove the bill with the door shut, the seals aren't functioning correctly.
  • Freezer makes noise
    Startup clunks and abnormal noises can indicate compressor issues.
