Living in El Paso, our homes are hit with dust, heat, and heavy appliance use. That combo wears out even the best machines. Here are 5 common appliance issues we fix every week—and how to know when it’s time to call El Paso Appliance Repair.
1. Refrigerator Not Cooling Right
Dust-clogged coils, bad thermostats, or a dying compressor can cause this. If the fridge is warm but the freezer works, it’s usually fixable.
🛠️ Pro Tip: Clean your coils every 6 months if you’ve got pets or dusty floors.
2. Washer Making Loud Banging Noises
That’s usually a bad shock absorber or worn bearings—especially common in front-loaders.
🛠️ Pro Tip: Don’t overload the drum, and check for coins or junk before each wash.
3. Dryer Takes Forever to Dry Clothes
This one’s common in El Paso’s lint-heavy climate. Could be a clogged vent or a failing heating element.
🛠️ Pro Tip: If it takes more than 1 cycle, it’s time for a vent check or heating test.
4. Oven Won’t Heat Evenly
We see this a lot in older units—usually a worn-out bake element or failing temp sensor.
🛠️ Pro Tip: Always preheat and test with an oven thermometer if you think something’s off.
5. Dishwasher Not Draining or Cleaning Well
Could be clogged filters, bad pumps, or even low water pressure from sediment buildup in older homes.
🛠️ Pro Tip: Clean the filter every 2 weeks and use a dishwasher cleaner monthly.
