Kitchen Appliances
The kitchen is one of the most central, and certainly one of the busiest rooms in the house. There is almost always someone there, from the early morning to the small hours of the night. It's a place where the family gathers, where food is prepared, and where some of our most useful electrical appliances are located. Consequently, it is also where electrical problems tend to come up rather frequently...
We count on our electrical kitchen appliances to work when needed and help us store, cook or clean our favorite meals, so when an appliance stops working, it can mean some head-scratching and changes in dinner plans. To avoid potentially expensive repair visits, you can try to resolve common problems by following some simple, universal troubleshooting steps. Many common kitchen appliance issues can be solved quite easily, allowing you to get back to your daily routine. Naturally, there are some cases which require the expert work of professional electricians.

Some Typical Problems With Kitchen Electrical Appliances:
Power supply problems: from loose power cables to malfunctioning outlets.
Blown fuses: in the appliances themselves or in your home fuse box.
Circuit breaker trips: characteristic of large appliances.
Location: fridges and freezers should not be placed next to ovens because of excessive heat, while water from nearby sinks and faucets can also be harmful to electrical appliances.
Set temperatures: Fridge and freezer temperature should not be too high or too low.
Troubleshooting electrical problems in the kitchen can be simple or complex. At times, a malfunction which appears daunting at first turns out to be pretty straightforward, while seemingly easy predicaments are, in fact, quite intricate. There's a lot you can do on your own, but if you're unsure about the structure and function of your kitchen electrical appliance, it would be more responsible to call an expert electrician to help you out.
