This cat has taken over!

Cat has taken over my work-space!!  Ha Ha.   I turned while working at my appliance repair business and I saw that this cat was making itself comfortable.  How cute!  I hope he doesn't do this in a car engine compartment.  Western Appliance 208-863-3702 

Whirlpool dishwasher not cleaning good

This is what happens when kids load the dishwasher. :-). When your not looking, sometimes kids will get away with what they can and not rinse dishes like they are suppose to.  In this instance we see a straw, toothpick, and other assorted articles.  These items stick out like a sore thumb so we know there was no rinsing involved.  Ha.

Fire in owyhees

Here is a view of the "soda" fire here in Idaho.  It is still burning and it is almost contained.  I am sorry for all the ranchers who lost so many of their cattle.  These cattle were burned alive -terrible.  Thousands of acres were burned.  The land will recover.

Glass Top Replacement for your Whirlpool or Jenn-Air Cooktop

I had time today to make a nice video on how to replace your own glass cook-top.  Many times it's not easy to prevent accidents such as a dropped pot or pan.  Such an event could render your cooktop useless due to cracked or broken glass.
I'll show you how you, the average homeowner, can replace this glass easily, with no special tools or training.  If the procedure appears to exceed your ability, you can always call us.  We are in the Boise area and help if needed.  208-863-3702

GE refrigerator defrost operation

This is a good video on how the defrost heater works on a GE Refrigerator.  You can see by the pic how intense the heat is.  This heat is what defrosts the ice buildup on the evaporator coils.  Regular defrost operation lasts approximately 20 minutes and occurs every 8-10 hours.  If you hear a "sizzling" sound coming from the inside of your freezer, this is what you are hearing.  Our phone number is 208-863-3702 for all appliance repair issues.

Dishwasher "clean" light blinking

When your ken more or whirlpool dishwasher light starts blinking, check for a broken heater.  A blinking clean light, which strobes seven times, is indicative if a heater circuit interruption.  In this instance trouble was found by opening the door and doing a visual inspection.  208-863-3702

Dryer lint buildup is not good

This is lint I pulled out of one dryer.  Most of it has evidence of burning.  Folks, if your clothes are taking too long to dry, get the vent cleaned. 208-863-3702
