How do self cleaning ovens work?
Self cleaning ovens use heat to burn away any spills or splatters inside the oven. The oven will heat at around 480 degrees Celsius incinerating all spills turning them to ash which can be wiped out of the oven once it is cool. The oven will also be fitted with a self locking door mechanism to prevent access to the oven during the cleaning process.

Why is the clothes dryer taking a long time to dry clothes?
The issue could be as simple as cleaning the lint filter. Even a small layer of lint over the filter will effect the time it takes to dry your clothes.
Clean the filter EVERY time you put clothes in the dryer. Clogged lint filters contribute to many house fires every year.
Overloading your dryer will also effect the time it takes to dry your clothes. Allow room for the clothes to move about.
If you are still having clothes dryer problems see our appliance repair technicians .
Why is the electric coil on the cook top not heating?
The coil may be loose due to age and frequent use and no longer have a firm connection to the terminal. Call our service centre to have a master electrician come out and repair or replace your electric coil.

Why is the oven burning everything?
The thermostat may need replacing or recalibrating. The thermostat determines the temperature that the oven cooks at. If the temperature on your oven display is not the temperature that is inside the oven food will either not cook or be over cooked.

Why is the water not draining out of the washing machine?
The issue could be a blocked, kinked or clogged drain hose. Remove the hose from the pump and check that water can run through it freely. If the hose is clear you may need a new pump installed. If you are unsure call our service centre and we will dispatch the next available technician to diagnose the issue and repair if needed.
