Clean Your Appliances With an Earth-Friendly Attitude

June 17th, 2016

As you walk down the aisle in nearly any grocery store, you’re greeted by high-priced cleaners that have every chemical mixture possible. Although these chemical combinations are effective, they’re not necessarily good for the Earth. Take a close look at some of the ways that you can clean those appliances without relying on chemicals. The Earth and your health will thank you in the end.

Open the Refrigerator’s Door

You may place a baking-soda container in your refrigerator so that odors are neutralized, but it doesn’t scrub the interior walls for you.

April 28th, 2016

In the past, reheating food used to require the use of the stovetop or oven, which took considerable time. By the 1980s, the microwave was slowly becoming the solution to leftover night. Place the food inside the appliance, add a time to the control panel and your meal is ready in a matter of minutes. However, your appliance may require a visit from a Milwaukee microwave repair professional at some point. Examine your kitchen for any of these symptoms that indicate some repairs are necessary right away.

An internal part, such as a diode, might be bad. This electronic component acts as a heating element within the appliance. Alternatively, you could have a bad door switch. If the appliance senses that your door isn’t properly sealed, it won’t activate any heat or radiation. (more…)

The holidays are fun and busy, but they’re also fraught with potential problems.

It’s Not Getting Warm: When The Microwave Might Need Repair

March 5th, 2014

Microwave Repair

Before the advent of the microwave, you reheated your food on the stove or in the oven. This time-consuming process was cut in half with microwave technology.

Dave’s Appliance Service, in fact, performs microwave repair to keep your kitchen running smoothly.

No Response On Control Panel

Your control panel takes a lot of abuse, including wet fingers and excessive cleaning products. If it does not respond to your finger pressure, carefully remove the panel to clean the backside. Debris and cleaning fluid may hinder its operation. Check that the microwave door is closed as well. Interlock switches, locking the door in place, must work correctly to activate the appliance. Professionals may need to be called in to replace any malfunctioning switches, however.
