Home Maintenance: Appliance Repair

One part of your home that most homeowners never consider -- until something goes wrong -- are the appliances. Unless you're doing a major kitchen renovation, you'll likely never have to think about replacing your appliances either.

But when they break... then you know it's time to find some help. I wanted to provide some information for you for the next time something goes wrong with your refrigerator, freezer, oven, microwave, washer, dryer -- well, you name it. Any appliance in your home, whenever it breaks, can be huge inconvenience for anyone.

The question is - Do You Fix It or Buy a New One?

And it can be a massive expense to simply replace the item. New appliances can cost a lot -- and in most cases, it can be cheaper to have the appliance repaired than to buy a completely new unit. You could take a chance on buying a used appliance but you could end up inheriting someone else's problems, too.

Are You a Do-It-Yourselfer?

If you're good with your hands, tools, and you're not afraid to tackle appliance repair on your own then I've got the perfect tool for you. I've found an online forum that can help you fix your busted appliance. The site is a forum where you can get free advice on appliance repair - Free Appliance Repair Advice. They have individual categories for each major appliance listed in the forum. You can post a question on your particular appliance and get a response from a professional service technician.

Whenever you have a problem with your home appliance, you can describe the situation and hopefully get help to fix it on your own. This can save a ton of money in repair fees. Make sure you check through your paperwork so that you don't void any warranties -- but usually the appliance doesn't break down until the warranty is up. Right?

Make sure you give your specific brand and model number whenever you post any questions. That way the service tech answering you can provide more precise and accurate information. Make sure to check before you make a post on whether the appliance is electric, gas, or oil-powered as well. The more details others have, the easier is will be to help.

If it turns out you can fix the appliance on your own, you can also order parts from the company that hosts the forum.
