What Counts as an Appliance Emergency?
Not every appliance problem is an emergency, but some situations need immediate attention to prevent damage, safety hazards, or food loss:
- Refrigerator or freezer not cooling: Food spoilage begins within 4 hours at room temperature. If your fridge stops cooling, call immediately to save your food.
- Washer or dishwasher leaking: Active water leaks can cause floor damage, mold growth, and structural issues. Shut off the water supply and call for repair.
- Gas oven or stove with gas smell: If you smell gas, turn off the gas supply, ventilate the area, and call for immediate repair. Do not use the appliance until it is inspected.
- Oven or stove won’t heat: If you rely on your oven for daily meals, a non-heating oven disrupts your household. We can often repair it the same day.
- Dryer not heating or making loud noises: A dryer that isn’t heating or is making grinding or squealing noises can indicate a failing component that could become a fire hazard if ignored.
- Garbage disposal jammed or leaking: A jammed disposal can block your sink and create plumbing backups. A leaking disposal can cause cabinet damage.

What to Do While You Wait for Emergency Repair
Refrigerator or Freezer Not Cooling
Keep the doors closed to trap cold air inside. Food in a closed refrigerator stays cold for about 4 hours. A full freezer holds its temperature for about 48 hours, a half-full freezer for 24 hours. Move perishable items to a cooler with ice if the repair will take longer than 4 hours.
Washer or Dishwasher Leaking
Shut off the water supply valve behind the appliance. Place towels around the base to absorb water and prevent floor damage. Do not attempt to run the appliance until it is repaired.
Gas Oven or Stove with Gas Smell
Turn off the gas supply valve immediately. Open windows and doors to ventilate the area. Do not use the appliance or any open flame near it. Call us for immediate repair and, if the gas smell is strong or persistent, call your gas utility company.
Dryer Not Heating or Making Noises
Stop using the dryer immediately. A dryer that isn’t heating or is making grinding, squealing, or thumping noises may have a failing component that could overheat. Lint buildup combined with a failing heating element is a fire risk. Do not run the dryer until it is inspected.
