Is Your KitchenAid Acting Up? Don’t Ignore These Signs!

KitchenAid appliances are known for lasting a long time. But even strong machines break down now and then. When your fridge stops cooling, your oven won’t heat, or your dishwasher floods the floor, it’s not just annoying—it’s stressful.
You rely on these appliances every day. So when one acts up, you need a fix that’s quick, clear, and built to last.

When Something Feels “Off,” It Probably Is?
Most appliance issues don’t start with a bang—they start small. Maybe your fridge feels a little warmer than usual. Or your oven takes longer to heat. The dishwasher sounds louder than normal. These may not seem serious, but they’re often the first signs of a bigger issue.
It’s best not to ignore them. The earlier you catch a problem, the easier (and cheaper) it is to fix.
Common KitchenAid Problems We See Every Day
You’re not alone. These issues are some of the most common reasons people call us for KitchenAid repairs:
Refrigerator:
- Runs but doesn’t cool well
- Ice maker stops making ice
- Water leaks under the fridge
- Door won’t seal properly
Oven or Range:
- Not heating at all
- Uneven cooking
- Burner won’t light (especially on gas ranges)
- Strange smells or sounds while in use
Dishwasher:
- Water won’t drain
- Leaves dishes dirty or cloudy
- Makes loud grinding sounds
- Door won’t latch
Dryer:
- Drum spins but no heat
- Takes too long to dry
- Shuts off mid-cycle
- Lint trap is clean, but still not working
These aren’t rare. We fix them daily—and we bring parts with us, so you’re not stuck waiting for a delivery.
Try This Before You Call
We’re always happy to help, but a few quick checks might solve your issue fast:
- Unplug the appliance, wait 30 seconds, plug it back in
- Check the circuit breaker—has it tripped?
- Clean dirty coils or filters
- Clear out any blockages from vents or drain hoses
- Double-check temperature and cycle settings
Still no luck? Then it’s time for a pro to step in.
Why Can a Delay Cost You More?
Waiting on a repair usually makes the problem worse. A small part issue could turn into a full system failure. A clogged dryer vent could spark a fire. And running a broken appliance can hike your energy bill without doing the job right.
It’s safer and smarter to fix it early.
