Easy fix. I just put in a maintenance request with our apartment and they come to either repair or replace the appliance.

I don't hesitate calling for factory service. While I'm pretty handy, today's appliances are more computer than mechanical. Factory service ensures it will be fixed correctly with approved parts. I love using handymen, but not for appliance repair.

Having a mechanically talented husband helps in the long run.

We live in an apartment; and just call maintenance if something breaks.
