Welcome to the June 2025 roundup of our most helpful appliance repair posts. Whether you’re a DIY enthusiast or just looking for a quick answer, this archive brings together guides on dishwashers, boilers, water heaters, washers, dryers and more. Below you’ll find a snapshot of each article and why it matters for keeping your home running smoothly.
Got a noisy dishwasher that won’t start? Our "Are Dishwashers Easy to Fix?" guide walks you through the most common problems – from clogged spray arms to faulty pumps – and shows how a few minutes of work can save a pricey service call.
Thinking about the age of your water heater? Two posts break it down: "Is fixing a 20‑year‑old water heater worth it?" looks at cost, safety and efficiency, while "Do you have to turn off the breaker to reset a water heater?" gives a step‑by‑step safety checklist before you hit that reset button.
If you’ve been eyeing a new washing machine, our "Best Washer Brands: Which One Has the Least Problems?" compares reliability stats so you can pick a model that won’t break down every other year. And for those who love a challenge, "Can You Repair a Washing Machine Yourself?" lists the fixes you can safely do at home, from lid switch swaps to drain hose unclogs.
Got a dryer that’s been chugging along for a decade? The "Is a 10‑year‑old dryer worth fixing?" article weighs repair costs against replacement and points out the red flags that mean it’s time for a new unit.
Some jobs are better left to the pros. Our piece on "Do plumbers install and replace boilers?" clarifies the difference between a plumber and a heating engineer, so you know who to call for a safe, code‑compliant boiler installation.
Electric ovens can be stubborn. In "Electric Oven Repair: Is it worth fixing a 20‑year‑old oven?" we outline the typical failures you might face and the price range for a professional fix, helping you decide if a new oven makes more sense.
Extractor fans often seem simple, but a hidden wiring issue can turn a quick fix into a hazardous job. The "Extractor Fan Repair: How long does it really take?" guide explains typical timelines and warns when it’s time to summon an electrician.
Lastly, if you’re unsure about a water heater reset, our "How long to push reset button on water heater?" article tells you the exact time to hold the button and why lingering too long can damage the unit.
All these posts share one goal: give you clear, practical advice without the fluff. Scan the titles that interest you, follow the step‑by‑step instructions, and you’ll either save money yourself or know exactly when to pick up the phone for a qualified technician.
