Arkansas Homeowner and RepairClinic.com Team Up to Help Keep Appliance Repair Costs Down

Mike G., Lowell, Arkansas For the past eight years, Mike has worked in a manufacturing plant in nearby Rogers, Arkansas. Before that, he owned and operated a restaurant and bakery in Texas for 10 years. "Throughout my career, I've always played a role in keeping necessary business equipment in working condition," said Mike. "As a result, I've saved thousands of dollars. It's great that the internet has brought consumers a resource like RepairClinic.com so that I can apply my DIY skills at home."

Problem: Icemaker stopped working What led him to RepairClinic.com: An online search query for "icemaker repair." How he diagnosed the problem: Used the Repair Guru, RepairClinic.com online diagnostic tool How he fixed it: unplugged the refrigerator removed the icemaker disconnected the old assembly connected the new assembly screwed the icemaker back in Part needed: Icemaker assembly, water inlet valve kit, and ice and water filter Tools used: Screwdriver

When the family's Kitchenaid® refrigerator decided to quit making ice, Mike's first thought was that the icemaker needed to be replaced. "He ordered a new icemaker and installed it, but it didn't solve the problem," said Reta, Mike's wife. "I remember him telling me that he should have done some research before deciding it was the icemaker. In fact, he said he wished that he'd contacted the RepairGuru for help before replacing the icemaker."

"The RepairGuru let me know right away that it sounded like the source of the problem was a bad wire connection between the circuit boards and the icemaker," continued Mike, "As instructed, I did some electrical testing with a volt/ohm meter using the wiring diagram located within the appliance and found the problem. It was that easy - and our icemaker continues to make ice today."

Most recently, the family dishwasher needed repair due to a crack in the front plastic area. He emailed a description of his problem to RepairGuru. Within minutes, he received an email back advising that he replace the control panel assembly

"Nobody's happy when their appliance isn't working like it should," said Reta. "And I know that Mike and I are both thankful to have RepairClinic.com on our team.

Two Tips to Try This Month

Say goodbye to a smelly garbage disposers
If your kitchen doesn't smell its best, check your garbage disposer. Food particles easily collect inside the disposer blades. The fact that you frequently run water through your disposer isn't enough to prevent this collection of food debris. Freshen up a disposer by grinding half a lemon or lime. Better yet, make Disposer Care, part of your regular maintenance routine. This product safely and completely eliminates disposer odors.

Boost refrigerator and freezer efficiency
Have you checked the temperature of your fridge or freezer lately? This simple task can help significantly reduce electricity bills. Your refrigerator should be kept between 36 and 38 degrees, while the freezer should be kept between 0 and 5 degrees. Temperatures just 10 degrees lower than the recommended levels could increase your energy usage by as much as 25 percent.
