Dishwasher:

• If it doesn�t work when you close the door, check the door switch.
• If it doesn�t drain, check the drain hoses, the air gap and the belts. One of these may be clogged or need replacing.
• If it doesn�t run properly or drain properly, check to see if the motor is stuck.

Dryer:

• If your dryer does not operate, check to see if the door switch is broken.
• If there is not heat, check the igniter switch, the gas valve coils and the thermal fuse.
• If your dryer is taking longer to dry or not drying the items properly, check for proper venting. Be sure vents and hoses are not clogged.

Washer:

• If the washer doesn�t work at all, make sure it is getting power and be sure the lid switch is working.
• If it doesn�t drain water out, check to see that there isn�t a clogged drain pipe or water pump.
• If there is no water, be sure the water is turned on to the washer and be sure the water inlet valve is working properly.

Stoves/Ovens:

• If there is no power to the stove, check for tripped circuit breakers.
• If the top elements don�t work or only one is not functioning, the element and/or the receptacle could be broken and need replacing.
• If the bake or boil elements are not heating, they may need replacing.
