If water sits in the bottom of the tub after a full cycle, the drain path is blocked somewhere between the filter and the sink drain. In the homes we visit across Los Angeles and Orange County it is almost always one of six things: a clogged filter, a blocked air gap, a kinked or clogged drain hose, a knockout plug left in a new garbage disposal, a jammed drain pump, or a stuck check valve. The first two you can clear yourself in about fifteen minutes. The rest need the machine pulled out.

A dryer that tumbles but does not heat is usually starved of airflow, not broken. A blocked lint filter or vent duct traps heat inside the cabinet, the safety thermal fuse cuts the heat to protect the machine, and the drum keeps spinning cold. That is the first thing to check on both electric and gas models. After airflow, the causes split by fuel: an electric dryer loses its heating element, thermal fuse or one leg of the 240 volt supply, while a gas dryer loses the igniter, the flame sensor or the gas valve coils.

A refrigerator makes cold in one place only: the evaporator coil behind the freezer wall. A fan then pushes that cold air into the fresh food compartment. So the first question is not what is broken, it is which part is still cold. If the freezer is frozen solid and the fridge is warm, the air is not getting through, and the cause is the evaporator fan, a frost-blocked coil or a stuck damper. If both compartments are warm, the machine is not making cold at all, and that points to dirty condenser coils, a dead condenser fan, a failed start relay or the sealed system.

An ice maker fails at one of three points: water never arrives, water arrives but does not freeze, or ice forms but never drops. Sort your case first. No water at all points at a closed shutoff, a kinked line, a clogged filter or a dead fill valve. Water that arrives but stays liquid means the freezer is not cold enough or the ice maker module is dead. Ice that forms but stays put means the ejector, the motor or a frozen fill tube. Half of the calls we take on this end with a filter that was last changed years ago.

A washer refuses to spin for one of two reasons: it cannot, or it will not. It cannot when the drum is held back mechanically, by a broken belt, a worn coupler or a seized bearing. It will not when the machine decides spinning is unsafe: water still in the tub, a door that will not lock, or a load piled on one side. That second group is the bigger one, and the most common single cause is a blocked drain, because no washer will spin a tub that still holds water.

A freezer that will not hold temperature is telling you one of three things. If the fridge side is still cold and only the freezer suffers, look at airflow and the door seal before anything else. If both compartments are warm, the machine is not making cold at all, and the usual causes are dirty condenser coils, a dead condenser fan or a failed start relay. If the freezer is packed with frost and food is thawing at the same time, the defrost system has quit and the coil is buried in ice.

Water on the floor in front of a refrigerator almost never comes from the sealed cooling system. It comes from one of three water paths: the defrost drain that carries meltwater to a pan under the compressor, the supply line that feeds the ice maker and the dispenser, and plain condensation from a door that no longer seals. Where the water shows up tells you which one. Under the crisper drawers means the defrost drain, at the front grille means the pan, behind the unit means the water line, and wet walls inside mean the door.

A squeal from a dryer comes from what holds the drum up, not from the drum itself. The drum rides on rubber rollers at the back and on felt or plastic glides at the front, and the belt around it is kept tight by a spring loaded idler pulley. When any of those wears flat or dries out, the drum drags and squeals. The sound tells you a lot before anything is opened: a steady squeal that builds as the machine warms up is the rollers, a squeal from the first second is the idler or the motor, a scrape is the front glides, and a rattle that rises and falls with the airflow is something loose in the blower.
