Toshiba Appliance Repair

Toshiba Corporation is a Japanese multinational conglomerate headquartered in Minato, Tokyo. Its diversified products and services include power, industrial and social infrastructure systems, elevators and escalators, electronic components, semiconductors, hard disk drives, printers, batteries, lighting, as well as IT solutions such as quantum cryptography. It was one of the biggest manufacturers of personal computers, consumer electronics, home appliances, and medical equipment. As a semiconductor company and the inventor of flash memory, Toshiba had been one of the top 10 in the chip industry until its flash memory unit was spun off as Toshiba Memory, later Kioxia, in the late 2010s.


Air Conditioner Repair

For the home, kitchen and beyond, Toshiba manufactures appliances that homeowners have come to trust. Even a trustworthy appliance requires occasional maintenance or repair, however. If you’re in need of Toshiba  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. 

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. 

Main Control Board 
The main control board regulates the voltage to the compressor and the fan motor. If the main control board fails, some components will not function properly or will not work at all. Main control boards are often misdiagnosed; make sure to check more commonly defective parts first before replacing the main control board.


Microwave Repair

For the home, kitchen and beyond, Toshiba manufactures appliances that homeowners have come to trust. Even a trustworthy appliance requires occasional maintenance or repair, however. If you’re in need of Toshiba appliance repair from experienced professionals, your local Appliance Helper can help.

Line Fuse 
If too much current passes through the microwave circuitry, the line fuse will blow. If the line fuse blows, the microwave won’t start. To determine if the line fuse is at fault, use a multimeter to test it for continuity. If the fuse does not have continuity, replace it. In addition, you should investigate and resolve the problem that caused the fuse to blow. If you don’t resolve the underlying issue, the new fuse will blow too. (Caution: The microwave oven can store thousands of volts of electricity in its high voltage capacitor, even after the microwave oven has been unplugged. Due to the potential for electric shock, it is extremely dangerous to replace the electronic components in a microwave. Only a licensed technician should replace the line fuse.) 

Main Control Board 
The main control board might be defective. However, this is rarely the case. Control boards are often misdiagnosed—check all of the more commonly defective parts. If you have determined that all of the other components are working properly, replace the main control board. (Caution: The microwave oven can store thousands of volts of electricity in its high voltage capacitor, even after the microwave oven has been unplugged. Due to the potential for electric shock, it is extremely dangerous to replace the electronic components in a microwave. Only a licensed technician should replace the main control board.) 

Thermal Fuse 
The thermal fuse cuts off power to the microwave if the microwave overheats. To determine if the thermal fuse has blown, use a multimeter to test it for continuity. If the fuse does not have continuity, replace it. The thermal fuse cannot be reset—if the fuse is blown, it must be replaced. (Caution: The microwave oven can store thousands of volts of electricity in its high voltage capacitor, even after the microwave oven has been unplugged. Due to the potential for electric shock, it is extremely dangerous to replace the electronic components in a microwave. Only a licensed technician should replace the thermal fuse.) 

Thermoprotector 
If the microwave overheats, the thermoprotector trips to cut off voltage to the microwave. To determine if the thermoprotector is at fault, use a multimeter to test it for continuity. If the thermoprotector does not have continuity, and it cannot be reset, replace it.


Television Repair

TV Turns on But No Picture
There are a number of possible causes for your TV turning on but not producing a picture.
The most common reason is that your TV is on the wrong input. You can typically change the input by pushing a button on your TV remote labeled “input”, “source”, or “TV/Video.” Keep pushing the button to cycle through the inputs until you have your picture back.
If you’re on the correct input and still don’t have a picture, make sure that your cable or satellite receiver is turned on and that all connections are secure. If you’ve done that, you may need to reset your cable box by unplugging it and plugging it back in. If that still doesn’t resolve the issue, try switching to another device. If you have a picture on another device, then there is likely an issue with your signal or the box itself and you will need to contact your provider for service.

Video not matching Audio
There’s nothing more annoying than when you see someone’s mouth moving, but what you are hearing is not in sync. You see someone’s mouth say “hello,” but then you hear “hello” after the mouth stops moving. It’s like watching a foreign film with a voice-over. You will want to go into the audio settings of your TV or cable box and adjust the “audio delay.” This should get you back in sync.

Hearing an Echo
If you’re hearing an echo, you probably have a separate sound system, like a soundbar or surround sound system and you have the volume playing both through your external sound system AND your TV speakers. If you have a separate sound system, you DO NOT want to also have the sound playing through your TV speakers, as it will always result in an echo, plus you paid for that separate sound system because it sounds so much better than your TV speakers. You will want to disable, mute, or turn the volume all the way down for your TV speakers and only use your external sound system. This should eliminate the echo.

The picture is pixelating or breaking up
If your TV picture is breaking up, cutting in and out, or pixelating (looks like everything is a bunch of squares), then you probably are experiencing a weak signal. Check all of the connections from the wall to your cable box and from the cable box to your TV to ensure that all connections are tight. If you’re still experiencing issues, you’ll need to contact your cable or satellite provider.

My Flat Screen Plasma, LED, OLED, or QLED has lines or is cracked
If your screen has lines, bring up the TV menu. If the lines run through the menu, or if the screen is cracked, your panel needs to be replaced. This is not a cost-effective repair. If you have an extended warranty and there are lines in the panel, the warranty company will likely replace your TV. If the screen is physically cracked, this would not be covered by a warranty and you will, unfortunately, need to replace your television.

Product Reviews:

This is a great AC unit if you're looking for portable and your place
This is a great AC unit if you're looking for portable and your place isnt too big/directly facing the sun. This unit easily keeps my 750 sq ft apartment cool during the hot days. Easy to use, remote is great, and the on/off cycle when ambient temp is correct, is great! Yes it's a bit loud, but not horrible.

I bought this TV for just under $500 in 2017 or 2018. There were a few times that it blacked out on me and I thought it was busted. However, I found that unplugging it for five minutes and plugging it back in forced it to do a hard reset, which solved the issue every time. There are a lot of bad reviews for this issue, but honestly, I've had my Samsung and LG TVs do the same thing before. Electronics will occasionally have a mind of their own. The only reason I'm selling it now is because the person buying my home from me wants to buy it from me since it is already hanging pleasantly on the wall. They are willing to pay $500 for it, so I figured, why not? If Toshiba made a TV that was 80" plus, I would consider buying another if the price was fair.

I have two of these unit and both of them work very well! We have one running in a large den and it cools it down very well! The other unit we run in each of our kids rooms prior to bed time and it cools their room down fast. There is a built in thermometer in our daughters baby cam and it goes from high 70s low 80s to 70 in around 45 minutes. After bed time we roll one into our room for use overnight. It works really well and honestly we don't even notice it during the night. I really appreciate the on/off button for the LCD on the unit. This prevents having a bright green light in your bedroom at night. I can't speak to its ability to dehumidify as I have used the feature.

Great machine. Nice white and clean. Great dehumifying. The tube was really hot so I got a Cool-Aide and that took care of the issue (see the photo of the tube insulator attached). The tube went from 120 degrees down to 80 degrees! Didn't want to heat the very room I was cooling. It is a good product and keeps the room cool.

So far I have really enjoyed this appliance. I had to modify the window piece as I had a narrow window, but with a roto-zip, I cut it down about 1". I have it set on 74 degrees and the fan and AC kick on alternately to keep the room cool.

For more than 22 years I have purchased Toshiba Computers and TV's. I've always have been satisfied with their products. My computer lasted more than 15 years and I've just purchased their 43" TV. The TV has so many features including Alexa voice response. I love their products and am a very satisfied customer.

We bought this to cool off our bedrooms while we were waiting for parts for our AC system. Easy to install easy to move around and it works wonderfully. I would recommend this to anyone who needs a portable AC unit when they're in a pinch. Especially if you live in Florida.

Note: Durability rated 5/5 on projected use over time. I'll update the review as necessary should this projection change appreciably. Good unit for the money. Powerful, useful presets, color makes it well-suited for most any placement in any kitchen. Even the clock was easy to set! ;-) Only two gripes, albeit minor. First, delivery kept the unit on the first day because they weren't comfortable leaving it outside. That's understandable, but providing an option to leave it would have been nice, since not everyone can be at home during normal delivery hours. To be clear, the gripe here is not that the delivery company kept the item overnight, it's that there was no option for the delivery company to leave it at the house. Gripe #2: the buttons are loud. Not distractingly so, but I would have preferred a more subdued, muted level of noise. Overall, satisfied with the purchase. At this point, would order this unit again... many years down the road. ;-)

We moved into a new house with no range microwave so I was on the hunt for a countertop. This one fit the bill and after a month of use, we are pretty happy with it. I was looking for: - Quick 30 button that didn’t need an addition button press to start - Quick minute button, bonus for 2-6 quick minute buttons - Handle to open the door - >=1000w power - Bonus points for small footprint due to limited counter space The only thing that really missed the mark was the footprint, but I did a lot of comparisons, and this one’s footprint is pretty much average for a microwave of this capacity. We didn’t need a fancy machine with all the bells and whistles. We really just needed something that would reheat leftovers so we don’t use the presets or other functions on this microwave. I did try the butter melt/soften function once and the butter boiled over, so I don’t think they really work all that well anyway. Overall, we are very happy with this microwave! A countertop microwave with a handle instead of a button for door operation really narrows down the choices, and I’m really happy we chose this one!

The size is great. Noise is a lot less than my last one. The controls are really convenient for quick cooking. A button for melting or softening button to 1 lbs. button for defrosting. The front is anti smudge. It came quick. I did buy on sale, but it was worth the money. It is quiet, convenient buttons, hardly any cleaning, and looks great. I would buy again.

We purchased our Toshiba TV about a year ago. Amazon Fire was included with it. The picture is incredible, as is the sound. We have had zero issues with it since buying it. It was well priced and is a value for the price. I only wish we had bought the smaller model for our bedroom, instead, we went with a different brand.

My Toshiba Amazon Fire TV is one of the best TVs I've ever owned, seriously! The color is exuberant, the imagery is crisp, and it keeps up with the motion of sports games and other active showings. I've had it 2 years now and it's never had any issues and because of its clarity, everyone who visits, asks me about the TV. I'd buy Toshiba TVs every time if they're going to be this good!

So far so good! The kitchen is going to be renovated late this summer, and our old GE microwave which came with the house needed to be replaced to match. (The GE was working well and adequate, but was a bit of a fashion faux pas in any environment.) After reading lots of reviews for mid-sized microwaves, I decided to try this Toshiba. The kitchen will feature a black sink and black commercial faucet, with light gray countertop with dark veins/patterns, the floor will be dark grey tile. So the colour and exterior styling of this Toshiba fits right in. More important are a couple of things I’ve noticed in the short period I’ve had this unit. First, it is quiet! At least it is much quieter than the old GE. Second, the various settings seem to work well. I used the sensor reheat yesterday evening for the first time and it worked very well. I have yet to try any of the other auto settings; I’ve never used many such settings in the past. But this little guy has me intrigued for some strange reason. One or more reviews stated they could not get the beeper turned off even when following the instructions. It DOES work; just press the #8 on the keypad long enough. The trick is to hold the key press long enough. The manual states 3 seconds, but I think it is more like 4 seconds. This setting will change back to default if the power goes out and the unit resets, but that’s to be expected. All-in-all I’m very happy so far. As I get more practice with it I will try to remember to update this review. I’ve always been happy with most Toshiba products, including a 39” LED television that I purchased from Amazon a few years ago.

My reason it’s not the most popular TV on the list, it’s low cost, great features has given me great service and comfort. I have purchased before some of the top brands and was disappointed in the quality of service from them. I know my selection is not a top contender TV, so what it’s serving me well. Earnestly, P. **
