Some appliance fixes are simple enough to try yourself. Others carry real safety risks and should always go to a licensed technician.
With so many repair videos online, it's tempting to fix every appliance problem yourself. Some tasks really are simple and safe. Others involve real risk, and knowing the difference protects both you and your home.
Cleaning a dishwasher filter, refrigerator condenser coils, or a dryer lint trap requires no special tools and carries little risk.
Freeing a jammed garbage disposal flywheel with the power off, or clearing a blocked ice maker tray, are reasonable DIY tasks.
Confirming an appliance is plugged in, a breaker hasn't tripped, or a setting wasn't accidentally changed are all safe first steps.
Gas ovens, gas dryers, and gas water heaters should only be serviced by a licensed technician. A gas leak is a serious safety hazard.
Refrigerant lines in refrigerators, freezers, and air conditioners require specialized tools and certification to service safely and legally.
Control boards, compressors, and wiring repairs carry a risk of shock and can cause further damage if handled incorrectly.
