Kitchen Issues You Need to Address ASAP

Your kitchen appliances can experience different kinds of issues that can cause inconvenience. If you’re not experienced with tackling these problems, it’s best to leave them to professionals.

Here’s a list of kitchen problems that need your immediate attention.

Foul Odor from the Fridge or Freezer

Food that’s gone bad or neglect can be the cause of bad odor in your fridge. To remove this smell, remove and wash the bins and shelves with dish soap. Let the unit air out and clean the evaporator. To prevent mold growth, frost buildup, or odors, set the interior temperature to the optimum settings of 0 and 40 degrees Fahrenheit.

The Freezer or Fridge Doesn’t Stay Cool

Check the doors of your refrigerator if it’s not staying cool. They may not be closed properly or the seal may not be snug. Take note of unusual heat, drips, or noises. While an operating refrigerator condenser creates heat, it shouldn’t be too much.

Under of Overcooking Oven

Is your food burning or cooking too slow? You can buy an oven thermometer to check the temperature settings. In some cases, the oven only needs recalibration instead of a replacement.

Dripping Sink or Faucet

Clean the faucet screen if the faucet sprays or spurts water. Look for leaks around the drain line and pea trap if there’s mold under the sink.

Malfunctioning Garbage Disposal

Try to reset the button first if your disposer isn’t working. Attempt grinding an ice cube to see if it works again. Unplug the appliance if you think that it’s blocked with food or silverware. Make sure to replace damaged rubber sink gaskets and cover the drain hole completely.
