What Hank's Crew Repairs in Jonesboro

Clock Works, Nothing Heats: An Electric Range on Half Power

This one confuses plenty of people. The clock is lit, the oven light comes on, the display takes your settings. But the elements stay cold, or barely warm up.

An electric range runs on 240 volts, fed through a double breaker in your electrical panel. The clock, the lights and the control board can run on just one side of that supply. The elements and the bake and broil circuits need both sides. So when one side drops out, the range looks alive and still can't cook.

What can cause it:

• One half of the double breaker has tripped or worn out, while the other half still feeds the clock.
• A loose or burned wire where the power cord connects to the range, behind a small cover on the back.
• A tired range outlet that no longer grips the plug firmly.

What you can safely try: find the range breaker in the panel (the wide, double one), switch it fully off, then back on. If the elements heat again, keep an eye on the range for a few days. If the breaker trips again, you smell something burning behind the range, or the plug looks scorched, leave the breaker off and call. Don't pull the range out and open that cord cover while it has power. The trouble might be inside the range or in the wiring that feeds it; an electrician takes care of the house wiring and the outlet, and my crew takes care of the range.

And If Your Range Runs on Gas?

A gas range plugs into an ordinary 120-volt outlet, and it still needs that power: the burner igniters spark with it, and the oven in most gas ranges uses an electric igniter to open its gas valve. If nothing clicks when you turn a knob, check that outlet and any GFCI outlet nearby before anything else. If the clicking works but a burner won't catch, food or water in the burner ports is a frequent reason. If the oven stays cold while the cooktop works, the oven igniter is a likely suspect.

Steam Clean or Self-Clean? Pick the Right Cycle

Many newer ovens offer two cleaning cycles, and they do very different jobs.

• Steam clean is for light, fresh spills. You pour the amount of water the manual calls for onto the floor of a cool oven, run the short, low-heat cycle, then wipe the loosened mess away.
• Self-clean is the heavy option. The oven heats far past baking temperatures for a few hours, turns baked-on grease to ash, and keeps its door locked until it cools.

A few habits keep either cycle from turning into a repair:

• Take the racks out before self-clean unless your manual says they can stay.
• Skip spray oven cleaners inside an oven that has a self-clean cycle; most manuals warn against them.
• Open a window and run the vent hood while self-clean is on.
• Once the oven is cool, wipe up the ash with a damp cloth.

When should you call? The door stays locked long after the oven has cooled, the oven won't heat once the cycle ends, or the display throws an error and stops the cycle. Self-clean heat is hard on parts that were already weak, such as a thermal fuse, a door lock motor or a control board. That's why it pays to run it a few days before a big cooking weekend, not the night before.

A Buzz Behind the Fridge, and an Ice Maker With No Water

You hear a loud buzz or hum from the back of the refrigerator. It lasts a few seconds, stops, and a while later it's back. If the ice maker is switched on, the likely source is its water inlet valve.

Each time the ice maker wants to refill its tray, it opens that valve. With no water behind it, the valve buzzes. That happens when:

• The fridge was never hooked up to a water line, but the ice maker is turned on.
• The shut-off valve that feeds the fridge is closed, maybe since a plumbing job.
• The water line behind the fridge got kinked when it was pushed back.
• The water filter is missing or not locked in, on models that won't pass water without one.

If your fridge has no water hookup, turn the ice maker off; the manual shows where. Otherwise open the supply valve, straighten the line and seat the filter. If the buzzing goes on with water connected, or the tray still won't fill, the valve or the ice maker itself needs a look.
