Common appliance faults in St. Albert

What breaks most in St. Albert kitchens and laundry rooms, and when to call a technician.

The problems we see most

  • Fridge is warm: dust on the coils or a dead evaporator fan stops it moving heat outside
  • Compressor runs without stopping: a worn seal or a faulty thermostat makes it work too hard
  • Water collecting at the bottom: a blocked defrost drain has iced up and overflowed
  • Ice maker sits empty: a blocked supply line or a failed inlet valve

Safe to try, or call us

  • Vacuum the coils behind or under the fridge, the first thing to rule out for weak cooling.
  • Check the seals grip all the way round and keep food off the vents.
  • Give it 24 hours to recover after you change the setting.

Refrigerant and compressor faults are ours to handle. Unplug the unit or switch off the breaker, move food to a cooler, and call.

The problems we see most

  • Drum full of water: the pump filter or drain hose is blocked with hair, lint, or coins
  • Drum will not spin: a worn belt, a failed lid or door switch, or an uneven load
  • Water escaping: a cracked hose, a worn gasket, or a loose fitting
  • Machine wanders: uneven feet or worn shock absorbers

Safe to try, or call us

  • Clear the pump filter and check every hose for kinks and clogs.
  • Balance the load and adjust the feet so it sits level.

If the motor or board has gone, or a leak has you stumped, close the taps, unplug it, and call. A leaking washer and power do not mix.

The problems we see most

  • Runs cold: a burnt element, a failed gas igniter, or a thermal fuse tripped by blocked airflow
  • Spins but stays damp: a clogged lint filter or a blocked vent
  • Nothing on start: a broken belt or a faulty door switch
  • Runs very hot: a blocked vent, which is a fire hazard

Safe to try, or call us

  • Clean the lint filter after every load and clear the vent, which cures most poor drying and is the main fire risk.
  • Make sure the vent hood outside opens while it runs.

Gas and element work is for a technician. If you smell gas, shut off the supply, leave, and call. Otherwise unplug and call, and stop using a dryer that runs hot.

The problems we see most

  • Water left in the bottom: food and grease have blocked the filter or drain hose
  • Dishes still dirty: blocked spray jets or a worn wash pump
  • Leaks onto the floor: a worn door seal or a loose hose under the sink
  • Will not fill: a failed water inlet valve

Safe to try, or call us

  • Take out the filter and rinse it, clear the spray-arm holes, and run a cleaning cycle.
  • Straighten any kinked hose under the sink.

For pump, electrical, or repeat leaks, shut the water off under the sink, switch off the breaker, and call. Do not leave standing water with the power on.

The problems we see most

  • Gas ring will not light: blocked ports or a worn igniter
  • Electric plate stays cold: a burnt element or a poor connection
  • Constant clicking or uneven cooking: a worn switch or igniter
  • Induction will not detect pans: a control or coil fault

Safe to try, or call us

  • Clear the burner ports and igniter and dry them before you relight.
  • On a coil top, reseat the element in its socket.

Gas lines and 240-volt wiring are not DIY. If you smell gas, shut it off, open a window, leave, and call. For electrical faults, switch off the breaker and call.

The problems we see most

  • Will not heat or the temperature is off: a failed element or a faulty sensor
  • Dead on start: a control board fault or a blown thermal fuse
  • Heat leaking out: a worn door gasket
  • Gas oven will not ignite: a failed igniter

Safe to try, or call us

  • Check the true temperature with an oven thermometer and replace a worn gasket.
  • On an electric oven, look for a visible break in the element.

Gas and board repairs need a technician. If you smell gas, shut it off, leave, and call. Otherwise switch off the breaker and call.

What St. Albert customers say

Real reviews from homes around St. Albert.

Found a small lake in the laundry room one morning thanks to the washer. Henday came out quickly, traced the leak, and had it dry and working the same day.

What I valued was the honesty about timing. They did not overpromise, they showed up when they said, and they finished the job.

Two other companies could not fit me in for a week. Henday had someone at the door the next day and the fridge was cold again by afternoon.

Strange one, the oven ran hot on one setting and cold on another, so baking was a gamble. He pinned it down fast and now it is accurate again.

Booked in the morning, sorted by mid-afternoon. The dishwasher was pooling water at the bottom and now it drains clean. Glad to have them in St. Albert.

Assumed a dryer that would not heat meant buying a new one. It did not. Small repair, sensible price, and quick.

I had been living with two working burners for weeks before I finally rang. Should not have waited, it was a fast fix and the stove is fully back.

Genuine relief. Came down to warm milk and a fridge that had given up overnight, right before a busy week. They were out fast, honest about the cost, and had it running properly before they left.

Dinner plans nearly derailed when the cooktop would not light. A quick call and they had it going again the same evening. Lifesaver.

Straight with me from the start. Told me what was worth fixing and what was not, no pressure either way.
