Check the Simple Stuff First
72% of "broken" appliances are fixed by checking these:
- Washer/Dishwasher: Clean the inlet filter (usually clogged)
- Dryer: Clean the lint trap AND the vent hose
- Fridge: Check if coils are dusty (back or bottom)
- Oven: Reset the circuit breaker, wait 60 seconds
Google Your Error Code โ But Be Careful
Search "[Brand] [Model] [Error Code] site:reddit.com" for real owner experiences. Avoid sites that just want to sell you parts.
Know When to Call a Pro
Based on our data, call a technician if:
- Error code involves "motor", "compressor", or "control board"
- You smell burning or see sparks
- DIY fix success rate is below 40%
- Part cost exceeds 50% of appliance value
Average technician visit: $150-250. Sometimes worth it.
