Appliance Safety & DIY Guidelines
Protect your household and avoid dangerous hazards. Learn which simple checks are safe to perform and when emergency professional repair is required.
If you smell gas (rotten egg odor), hear hissing near your oven, range, or dryer, immediately evacuate the home, avoid flipping electrical switches, and call your local gas provider or emergency services.
Modern 240V appliances like dryers, electric ranges, and high-voltage microwave capacitors hold lethal charges even when unplugged. Never test open internal wiring without certified equipment.
Any visible electrical sparking, charred outlet prongs, or burning plastic odors indicate severe wiring or component failure.
Never attempt DIY leak detection with open flames. Turn off the main appliance shutoff valve immediately.
EPA regulations prohibit unlicensed handling of R-134a and R-600a refrigerants in refrigerators and freezers.
Standing water around high-voltage motor assemblies in washers or dishwashers presents severe shock hazards.
