## [How Much Does it Cost for Washing Machine Repair?](https://blog.puls.com/how-much-does-it-cost-for-washing-machine-repair)

With washing machine prices rising this year – USA Today says prices likely went up by 10% in 2018, bumping the average washing machine price from $900 to almost $1,000 – it would almost seem like a no-brainer to fix a broken washing machine, rather than replace it altogether.

## [How to Repair a Dryer that Isn’t Heating](https://blog.puls.com/how-to-repair-a-dryer-that-isnt-heating)

If you opened your dryer after the heat cycle and discovered that your clothes were still wet, your first reaction was probably panic. Why is your dryer not heating? Can I fix it myself or will it be a major repair expense? Am I going to have to buy a new one?

## [Top 5 Reasons Why Your Washing Machine Isn’t Cleaning Properly](https://blog.puls.com/washing-machine-isnt-cleaning-properly)

The washing machine is one of those modern luxuries that makes our lives so much easier—until, of course, it stops working properly. If you’ve noticed that your clothes are coming out smelling worse than they did before you put them in or that there are still stains on the fabric after going through a regular cycle, it may be time to examine what’s going on with the machine.

## [What to Do if Your Dishwasher Won’t Start](https://blog.puls.com/what-to-do-if-your-dishwasher-wont-start)

Doing the dishes isn’t exactly America’s favorite pastime, but a hard-working dishwasher makes the task much more tolerable—and quicker—so we can get back to things we actually enjoy (like anything but the dishes). So, when your dishwasher suddenly won’t start, it’s easy to panic and think you’ll be shelling out a hefty amount to replace it, but there are actually a few things you can do to troubleshoot what’s wrong and fix it on your own.

We all take for granted that our appliances will be working when we need them. We may even be tempted to ignore a small problem, hoping it will go away. Unfortunately, that little problem can easily turn into something bigger and turn your life upside down.

## [How to Fix a Garage Door that Won’t Open](https://blog.puls.com/how-to-fix-a-garage-door-that-wont-open)

It can be pretty frustrating if your garage door won’t open and you’re trying to get your car in off the street, or out onto the open road. After all, your garage door basically has one job – to open and close (okay, that’s two jobs if you want to split hairs).

## [What Type of Garage Door Springs Do You Have?](https://blog.puls.com/what-type-of-garage-door-springs-do-you-have)

Garage door springs, like anything else, eventually get worn out after a number of opening and closing cycles, and need to be replaced periodically. If you see signs of wear – loose, sagging springs, gaps between coils, or even a complete break between sections of a spring – it’s time to swap them out for a new set.

## [How to Diagnose a Garage Door Issue on Your Own](https://blog.puls.com/how-to-diagnose-a-garage-door-issue-on-your-own)

Because a garage door opener is a complicated creature, there’s a lot that can possibly go wrong. Not only are there many different types of garage doors and garage door openers, but these are actually very complicated devices. Despite its name, your garage door opener is actually a series of different systems connected together. Fortunately, much of the time these fixes can be performed yourself, if you’ve got the right tools and are comfortable getting up on a ladder. But there are some cases where it's much safer and wiser to call a professional.

Nothing is quite as frustrating as when a garage door won’t close – from driving up your heating bill in the winter, to leaving your property vulnerable to theft and damage, a garage door that won’t shut is simply bad news.
