Appliance Repair in Carnegie (15106)

Chartiers Creek flooded much of Carnegie in September 2004. If your basement has taken water before, keep the washer, dryer and any freezer up on a platform, and after any water, leave them off until they've been checked.

Parts of Carnegie and its neighbors have flooded before, and appliances in a basement are the first things the water reaches. Anything with a motor that sat in water should stay unplugged until it's dry and has been inspected.

Water damage in a motor, pump or control board doesn't always show on day one; the failure can come weeks later. Mention the water in your booking.

Many basements in Carnegie and its neighbors drain the washer into a laundry tub or straight to a floor drain. Both work, until lint, sand or an old strainer slows the flow and the tub overflows mid-cycle.

When water shows up around a washer, we sort out whether it came from the machine, the hoses or the drain before replacing anything. Often the answer is a clog you can clear yourself next time.

Basement dryers in Carnegie and its neighbors often vent through a foundation wall or up to a rim joist, sometimes with a long run of flexible duct in between. Crushed or sagging duct and a lint-packed outside hood are the usual reasons clothes come out warm but damp.

We check the airflow before blaming the heating element. A new part in a dryer that can't exhale fails the same way.
