Air Conditioner Repair
For the home, kitchen and beyond, Sunpentown manufactures appliances that homeowners have come to trust. Even a trustworthy appliance requires occasional maintenance or repair, however. If you’re in need of Sunpentown appliance repair from experienced professionals, your local Appliance Helper can help.
Air Filter
If the air filter is clogged, air cannot flow properly through the air conditioner. This greatly reduces the cooling capacity of the air conditioner. In addition, if the air filter is clogged, the evaporator coils will frost over. To remove debris from the air filter, try cleaning the filter. If it is not possible to clean the air filter, replace it.
Condenser Coils are Dirty
The condenser coils dissipate the heat as the refrigerant passes through the coils. If the condenser coils are dirty, they won’t be able to dissipate the heat as effectively. As debris builds up on the coils, the air conditioner will become less efficient, causing the air conditioner to work harder to cool down. If the coils are significantly dirty, the air conditioner will not be able to maintain the proper temperature, and the compressor will run continuously in an attempt to cool the room. Check the condenser coils to determine if they are dirty. If the condenser coils are dirty, clean them.
Compressor
The compressor might be defective. However, this is not usually the case. Before replacing the compressor, be sure to check more commonly defective components—particularly the overload protector and the compressor capacitor. If the compressor is defective, it should only be replaced by a licensed technician.
Thermostat
The thermostat monitors the temperature of the air. When the air temperature rises above a set point, the thermostat activates a switch to provide power to the fan and compressor. If the thermostat is defective, the thermostat may not cool properly. To determine if the thermostat is defective, set the air conditioner to cooling and then use a multimeter to test the thermostat for continuity. If the thermostat does not have continuity while the air conditioner is set to cooling, replace the thermostat.
Control Board
The control board regulates the voltage to the compressor and the fan motor. If the control board fails, some components will not function properly or will not work at all. Control boards are often misdiagnosed; make sure to check more commonly defective parts first before replacing the control board.
Dishwasher Repair
For the home, kitchen and beyond, Sunpentown manufactures appliances that homeowners have come to trust. Even a trustworthy appliance requires occasional maintenance or repair, however. If you’re in need of Sunpentown appliance repair from experienced professionals, your local Appliance Helper can help.
Dishwasher not cleaning
The water inlet valve opens to allow water to enter the dishwasher. If the valve is clogged or defective, the dishwasher won’t get enough water to clean dishes properly. If the water inlet valve is clogged, replace it. Do not attempt to clean the water inlet valve—cleaning the valve could make it more likely to fail.
Dishwasher not draining
The drain impeller pushes water through the drain hose and into the garbage disposer or drain line. If the impeller is broken, replace it. The drain pump uses an impeller to force water through the drain hose. If the drain pump motor is not working, the dishwasher won’t drain. To determine if the drain pump is defective, check the pump motor for continuity using a multimeter. If the motor does not have continuity, or if is getting power but won’t run, replace the drain pump. Drain pumps are not repairable—if the drain pump is defective, you must replace it.
Dishwasher buttons not working
First, confirm that the dishwasher display is working. If the display is still working, try pressing some of the touchpad buttons. If some of the buttons respond correctly but others don’t, it is likely that the touchpad is at fault. (Some manufacturers sell the touchpad separately from the control panel. Other manufacturers require that you purchase the touchpad and control panel together. If you cannot replace the touchpad individually, replace the touchpad and control panel.)
Dishwasher leaking
The water inlet valve opens to allow water to enter the dishwasher. If the water inlet valve is stuck open, the dishwasher will continue to fill with water until the dishwasher leaks or overflows. If the water inlet valve is at fault, replace it. Water inlet valves are not repairable—if the valve is defective, you must replace it.
Range Repair
Why is my food not cooked or heated properly?
Check if your heat setting is perfect for cooking. If it is too low, adjust it to meet the requirement. If it is not the problem, then check if the vessel is placed suitably on the cooking zone to ensure the heat passing. And please do ensure that your cooking vessel has a ferromagnetic bottom. Another thing to remember is that the bottom of your cooking vessel covers the whole area of the cooking zone. If you are using a cookware that has a low bottom circumference than the cooking zone, the vessel will not get all the heat your cooktop is generating.
Why is my food burned?
Read and follow the required temperature setting guideline for your unit. but still, your food gets burned. Why is that? Probably because you are using a lightweight cookware that heats up sooner than expected and burns the food in that process. To avoid such problems, choose best cookware that is lightweight and suit with the induction cooktop.
What’s with the noise and vibration?
If there is a soft 'hum' that you are hearing in an induction cooktop, it’s from the cooling fan inside. You can't help but listen because you don’t want it removed. If you do so, your induction will stop working after merely 6 months of buying. But if the noise is too much than a soft buzzing, it may occur for something else that is entirely not related to your cooktop. The same goes for the vibration. An unevenly bottomed vessel, or a lightweight lid or even a loosely fit handle of your cookware can induce the vibration.
Why my induction cooker cannot detect the pan?
The size of your pan is essential to its functioning on an induction cooker. Make sure the diameter of the cookware always matches that of the induction cooktop. When the diameters don't match, some portions of the pan are left out and results in improper heating. Likewise, when the base is too small, the induction cooker remains unactivated. Lastly, ensure you use an induction-compatible cookware.
Why is my induction stove not working?
It can be due to a disconnection between the cooker and the power supply. Check the power source for a triggered circuit breaker or a fuse that has blown. Induction cookers come with 'lock modes' to prevent accidents and save energy. When in lock mode, it will not work so check to make sure that isn’t the case. The display may show error codes and if that is the case always refer to the your USER MANUAL.
Refrigerator Repair
For the home, kitchen and beyond, Sunpentown manufactures appliances that homeowners have come to trust. Even a trustworthy appliance requires occasional maintenance or repair, however. If you’re in need of Sunpentown appliance repair from experienced professionals, your local Appliance Helper can help.
Diagnosing a Dead Refrigerator
Pull out the refrigerator if needed and press the plug firmly into the outlet. Check your appliance's electrical cord for damage. Any exposed wire, kinks or cuts in the cord might make the appliance malfunction. If this is the case, do not use the cord and contact a repairman. The extension cord may be damaged or faulty. Plug the refrigerator directly into the outlet. If this solves the problem, replace the faulty extension cord. Try plugging the refrigerator into a different outlet. If this solves the problem, then the problem is with the outlet. Check the current and voltage of the outlet with a multimeter and voltage tester. If you do not know how to work these tools, contact a professional repair technician or electrician.
Diagnosing if Only the Light Works
Check your temperature gauge inside the appliance. If the dial was bumped, it could have made it too warm for the refrigerator to turn on. It's important to check both the refrigerator and the freezer temperature settings, because the refrigerator gets its cold from the freezer. A problem with the freezer setting will affect the refrigerator as well. Make sure there's proper airflow around the appliance. Check the space between the walls and the appliance. There should be a 3-inch (76.2 mm) gap around the sides of the appliance and at least a 1-inch (25.4 mm) gap at the top. This provides airflow needed for the machine to function. Clean the condenser coils with a vacuum or brush. This part helps dissipate heat that could make the appliance act funny. This cleaning should be done with the appliance turned off. You should clean rear-mounted coils once a year, and floor coils twice a year.
Investigating a Refrigerator That Isn't Cold Enough
Check your temperature gauge inside the appliance. The dial could have been bumped, raising the refrigerator's temperature. It's important to check both the refrigerator and the freezer temperature settings, because the refrigerator gets its cold from the freezer. A problem with the freezer setting will affect the refrigerator as well. Inspect the vents. Check the vents between the freezer and refrigerator and the drain tube for debris and ice. Remove debris if needed. This obstruction could be your problem. Test the refrigerator components. Use a multimeter to test the continuity of the appliances various components. These include the door switches, the defrost heater and timer, and the evaporator fan. If any of these parts fail, they could be your problem.
Diagnosing a Refrigerator That Keeps Running
Wait a day to see if the problem solves itself. Several factors could cause your refrigerator to temporarily run continuously. If you live in a humid environment, just loaded the refrigerator, or recently adjusted its temperature, it might take a while for the refrigerator to cool completely. It could take 24 hours or possibly more for it to cool. Defrost the freezer in case there's too much ice built up and clean your condenser coils. If there is a build of debris on your condenser coils, they won't be able to efficiently dissipate heat, and the refrigerator will have to constantly cool. If the defroster is faulty, then the evaporator coils will frost over, and the refrigerator will work harder to keep cool. Clean the condenser coils with a vacuum or brush. This part helps dissipate heat, and if it's too dirty, the refrigerator will have to work harder to stay cool. This cleaning should be done with the appliance turned off. You should clean rear-mounted coils once a year, and floor coils twice a year.

It works great! Easy set-up, even came with a little window kit so you don't have to cut up ply-wood and board up all the windows. Just screws in and you done. The unit setup is easy. Keeps the master bed room cool on hot nights i still use a fan but i would say if its 95° outside this little unit keeps this room at least 73°-75°F. For the price i paid when it was on special is totally worth it.
Burners just the right size and flames size are just a little different for the different items I'm cooking. Glad I bought it. It is very easy to clean and the heating is easy to control. I would recommend it to anyone.
We were looking for a nice basic range top and this met our expectations at a good price. I was glad to have it delivered to me without any extra cost and arrived with nothing wrong with it.
My family rented a small house a year ago that did not have a built-in dishwasher. After a year of doing dishes by hand, we decided that a portable dishwasher might be a good investment, and are we glad we did. This thing making cooking so much easier without the daunting feeling of having to hand wash every thing you are getting dirty. It holds quite a few dishes and even a few small pots. Silverware caddy is a huge bonus. We were worried on how portable it really was going to be, but it does not take much effort to wheel this around with a full load, pull out the hoses, attach it, turn it on and forget about it. The only negative thing I could say about this is drying is a minor issue. I normally just crack the door open after it is done and leave it open over night. Do not let the ability to dry turn you away from this great product, it does a great job cleaning and the instructions are quite clear and helpful. I strongly recommend this to anyone that lives in small house/apartment and is tired of doing the dishes.
We use these at work for when the client's chiller fails. It's easy to use, easy to move around and works wonderfully.
Excellent air conditioning unit. I'm very pleased with it. However, It was a little tricky to set up the exhaust hose.
Amazing purchase for my family, Right size, right model and especially right place to purchase it from !. Keep up the great work Appliances connection.
It's easy to install....performs flawlessly. ..not noisy as some say..
Cooks wonderful! You won't be disappointed. We also appreciate the layout of the control knobs - easy to get to and out of the way of the heat. The Sunpentown stovetops price was very competitive to other higher end tops.
The number one reviewed portable dishwasher performed perfectly. There are no cleaning issues at all. Everything is spotless. The only things needing a quick drying are made of plastic but the SPT has turned a 45 minute job into a 5 minute job. My back starts to hurt when I stand in one place for very long but the SPT has cleaned that issue as well. I highly recommend and compliment SPT on a job well done.
This duo air conditioner / heater is so nice. most of the time I put it on the dehumidifier, and it makes it so much nicer and cooler in the office.
First new house, first new refrigerator. Did a lot of research before buying and I'm pretty sure I picked the right one. Can't call a landlord with problems anymore.
Installed this stove 2 month ago and I am very glad about its performance so far. It works well. Never had a problem with it. Very strong and has nice features.
Love this dishwasher. Has more stackable room than my old dishwasher. Also very quiet.
The moment I saw this refrigerator, I knew I wanted it. Had to slow myself down to ensure I wasn't making a rash decision. I read through all the consumer reviews even the really bad ones so I wouldn't suffer from confirmation bias. Two years on, I'm glad I made sure this was an intrinsically quality product, but I also maintain that the fridge looks damned sharp in my kitchen.
Highly recommend this refrigerator to everyone who wants the best in the market. I have been using it for few months now and I can totally say that it is worth the every penny.
I'm a low maintenance guy which is why this Sunpentown refrigerator is perfect for me. Plug it in and it's ready to go with no extra doodads that can break down.
I highly recommend this SPT dishwasher, I own it and bought it with my own money, so my opinion is unbiased and truthful. This dishwasher is extremely quiet and has cleaned all my dishes perfectly and spotless. All my dishes fit easily and I was nicely surprised to find how much you can fit inside. I use Corelle dishes and I can wash a full service for 8 (plus more) easily in one load. I love the timer countdown feature and the chime that plays when the dishwasher is finished. It's also the only washer I could find that matches all my other Stainless Steel and black trimmed appliances, but I highly recommend it for much more than it's appearance. The manual is easy to read, you get a dish loading chart with pictures (nice for newbies) and detailed pre-wash, wash, rinse and dry times and temperatures as well as the time it will take to complete each of the six cycles offered. My previous 18" portable dishwasher was 8 years old (was white exterior so replaced with the new stainless steel appliances I bought here at Best Buy) and even back then cost more than this SPT, but it didn't have as many features, nor did it wash as well as this dishwasher. The quality of the build is very good and the stainless steel interior is better than a lot of the higher priced standard sized washers I've seen. I also love the Adjustable top rack with flip down holders for stemware or to use as a small shelf. The racks are a high quality, very sturdy and the taupe color rack coating feels soft and thick to protect fine dishes. I really love the bottom shelf has two flip down dish guides (See pics) for when you want to wash a larger bowl or pots and pans, very useful. All together I highly recommend this great dishwasher and can I say again how Quiet it is! I've included pics of the interior as they were almost none existent online, so I hope that helps. Any questions I'd be glad to answer them. Thanks
I am a 65 yo grandmother raising her 9 yo grandson. This is perfect for us - I really checked around and Best Buy's price beats anyone else's by a minimum of $100 PLUS free shipping. Unbelieveably well packaged. took longer to unpack than to set up and use. Instructions are not very good - 2 things to point out - the white hookup part SLIDES down, insert silver adapt (you have already put on your faucet) and let it slide back up over adapter. No leaks so far. also, to lower top shelf, pry off end caps on arms with a flat blade screwdriver in a little slit on the side and they pop right off, roll onto lower set of wheels and there you go. washes everything clean, clean, clean - just rinse and don't leave on gobs of food since it is not going through a garbage disposal. have washed 8 x 8 pyrex pans, pots and pans in addition to regular glasses and plates and no problems. It is true it does not dry but everything is dry when they come out except for plastic for some reason - but a pass or two with a dish towel takes care of that. LOVE this machine, moves so easily with almost one finger touch, hooks up in 3 seconds, and you are ready to wash. hope I am as pleased in 2 years as I am now!
Great product for my restaurant. I use this product a lot to prepare various dishes for my customers. Customer's love the way food is prepared. thanks for the fast shipping.
