Range Issues during Thanksgiving Cooking

November 25, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Thanksgiving is a time for all to be thankful by enjoying one another. The enjoyment may be halted if issues arise during the preparation of your Thanksgiving feast. If you have range issues at this inopportune time APWagner’s Repair Section may help you find a resolution. Here are some common range issues during the holidays.

If you smell gas

If the gas is coming from your range at any other time besides when you’re lighting it, there’s a problem. Call your local gas company and ask them to investigate the situation. If the problem is with the range, have a professional appliance repair person fix the problem.

The oven is not baking

The ignitor may no longer be working. You may have to replace either the ignitor or the gas safety valve. Many times it’s the ignitor that is to blame, and cheaper to replace. The ignitor is a small round or rectangular device located near the burner. The ignitor is wired in series with the gas safety valve. Additional reasons for why the oven is not baking can be found here:

Oven light stopped working

The bulb may be loose remove the cover when oven is cool to see if bulb has
become loose or has blown. If not problem may be with the door switch on the oven’s frame, or a separate switch by the main controls. If the switch
doesn’t work, or only works sometimes, you need to replace it. If your
oven has a self-cleaning feature, the oven light may not operate during this
time.

Why is my dryer making noise?

November 12, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Question: I have a dryer that began making loud noise during cycle. Why is my dryer making noise?

Answer: Most of the time the problem is the drum rollers that then will need to replaced. Some dryers use rollers to support the clothes drum. If these rollers or wheels are worn out, they can be extremely noisy. You ought to replace the whole set at the same time. A belt that has been damaged or frayed may make a thumping or slapping sound as the drum turns.

However, There are several other things that can cause a dryer to be noisy. Make sure nothing is loose inside the drum. Remove the lint trap and look below the lint trap holder for any loose items that may have slipped through the cracks.

The blower wheel is always moving and lint is constantly going by it. If it’s noisy, it may have gotten clogged with lint, or it may be worn and need to be replaced. Clean out the area around the blower. If it’s still noisy, replace it. Many dryers use a center spindle to support the clothes drum. This spindle may be a ball-and-socket support, or it may be a shaft inside a sleeve. When these component bearings get worn out, they may make a squealing or rubbing sound. Replace this bearing when it gets worn out. Many dryers also use plastic glides in the front end of the clothes drum. When these glides are worn out, you may hear a lot of noise. If the glides are worn, replace them as a set.

Vent Alarm Offers Fire Safety

Vent Alarm Offers Dryer Safety

DrySafer

DrySafer - Sale price: $99.00 -- You Save: $21.29

It’s estimated that clothes dryers are the cause of over 15,000 fires every year. As lint builds up inside a dryer’s exhaust vent, a blockage can result in insufficient airflow, causing the dryer to overheat. This can ignite the lint and cause a fire.

A blockage or clog can also happen when lint get’s into your dryer venting system. This can cause your dryer to run longer, work harder and possibly overheat.

DrySafer is a Dryer Vent Alarm that helps detect insufficient airflow inside of your dryer’s exhaust ducts.  It fits easily onto the back of your dryer and monitors your dryer’s airflow.

If the airflow in your dryer drops below a safe level, the dryer vent alarm will sound, alerting you to danger.

DrySafer is an added piece of mind to protect your home, pets and belongings.

For more information or to purchase about DrySafer, visit AP Wagner.com.

Appliance Rebates Slated For Spring 2010

October 13, 2009 · Leave a Comment

The appliance rebate still does not have a slogan that has stuck like the popular “Cash for Clunkers” slogan used during the automobile rebate this year. However, there is similar early buzz on the benefits of such a program for consumers as well as retailers. Maybe a slogan like “Cash for Appliances” will be the standard once the state plans for distributing rebates are approved by the U.S. Department of Energy.

October 15th is the deadline for the states to have their plans completed and given to the U.S. Department of Energy. The release of the rebates was originally set for the end of this year, but states needed more time to construct a plan. The plans will likely correlate with energy conservation plans of states as encourage by the Dept. of Energy.

Appliance manufacturer sales like all industries during the recession have been down due to more consumer savvy buyers who are purchasing for emergencies only. The rebate plan for appliances is expected to spark sales in a similar fashion as the rebates did for automobiles, in addition to promoting the reduction of energy consumption by replacing old appliances with energy saving appliances. The rebate can be expected to range from $50 to $200 for individual appliances.

While you wait for the appliance rebate program:
