A worn outlet, a loose dryer cord connection, or an old shutoff valve that will not close fully all show up during visits here. Part of our job is sorting out whether the appliance or the connection behind it is the real culprit.

Houses, Apartments & Condos Across the Charlotte Area
This ZIP is the older University City and Hidden Valley side of northeast Charlotte. Housing includes modest single-family homes from earlier decades, duplexes, and a good number of apartment complexes. Many houses have had appliances replaced over the years, so it is common to see a newer refrigerator in a kitchen with older wiring, outlets and plumbing.

Electric Dryers and Older Wiring
Older homes sometimes have three-prong dryer outlets rather than the four-prong type used in newer construction. Both can work when the cord is wired correctly, but a mismatched or scorched cord connection is a real hazard. If you see discoloration on the plug, smell burning, or the dryer heats only some of the time, turn off the breaker and leave it off.
A technician can check the terminal block, the cord, and the heating circuit inside the dryer. Problems with the wall outlet or house wiring itself belong to an electrician, and we will tell you plainly if that is what we find.
What to Have Ready
Find the brand and model, note the symptom, and check whether the appliance's breaker has tripped. Make sure the water shutoff valves behind a washer or under the sink are reachable. If you rent, confirm with your landlord that the repair is approved before the visit.
