Have you unplugged it for a minutes and tried running another load of wash afterwards?


Is there a local appliance repair tech in your area? In 2024 our 7 year old GE oven stopped heating up. I called a local repair tech and they discovered it was the ignitor and quoted me a price before actually replacing it. It was under $200 which is much better than replacing the entire range itself.

They do not make appliances to last these days unfortunately.

We have a 14 cubic foot Kelvinator refrigerator that we keep for extra fridge storage. I deep cleaned it recently and I found the serial and model number inside the fridge. It was manufactured in June of 1992, so it's 34 years old. It still runs and has never needed replacement parts.


*Knock on wood* I hope that I just didn't jinx this appliance because I have no idea what to replace it with if it conked out.
