Dishwashers

Cloudy glasses in very soft water: etching, film or a dishwasher fault

Etching or film? How very soft Everett water around Lynnwood clouds dishwasher glasses, a vinegar test to tell them apart, and when the machine is at fault.

Dryers

Dryer thermal fuse keeps blowing: find what is overheating it

A dryer thermal fuse that blows again and again is a symptom. Crawl-space vents in older houses, stuck thermostats, grounded elements and slipping blowers.

Ice makers

Small or hollow ice cubes: following the water back to the wall

Small, thin or hollow ice cubes usually trace back to the water supply: saddle valves in older houses, wall valve boxes in new townhomes, filters and sensors.

Ovens & ranges

Oven temperature off? Test it before the holiday baking starts

Pies browning on the bottom or roasts running late? Test oven temperature with a thermometer, use the offset setting, and know when a part is really to blame.

Refrigerators

Frost building up in the freezer: read the pattern, then check the seal

Frost on the packages by the door, ice in one corner, a garage freezer that frosts over in weeks: how to read the pattern and test the gasket before you call.

Washers

Stacked washer full of water: sorting it out in an apartment closet

Water left in a stacked washer in a Lynnwood, Mountlake Terrace or Everett apartment: suds in soft water, pump filters, folded hoses and the building drain.
