Not every broken appliance needs immediate attention. But these situations absolutely do:
Refrigerator / Freezer Failure
A refrigerator that stops cooling can spoil hundreds of dollars worth of food within hours — especially in Denver's warm summer months. If your fridge or freezer is above 40°F, call immediately.
- Food safety: Perishable items begin spoiling at temperatures above 40°F
- Freezer items: Frozen food starts thawing within 4–6 hours without power
- Medical items: Insulin, medications, and breast milk require consistent cold storage
Washer Leaking or Flooding
A leaking washing machine can cause water damage to floors, walls, and ceilings — especially in multi-level homes common in Denver neighborhoods like Cherry Creek and Highlands.
- Shut off water supply valves immediately
- Unplug the washer to prevent electrical hazard
- Call for same-day service to prevent mold and structural damage
Gas Oven or Stove Issues
Any gas appliance problem requires immediate professional attention. Gas leaks, burner malfunctions, or ignition failures can create serious safety hazards.
Gas Emergency Protocol
If you smell gas: Turn off the appliance, open windows, do not use electrical switches or phones near the area, evacuate if the smell is strong, and call your gas company or 911. Do not attempt to diagnose gas issues yourself.
Dryer Overheating or Burning Smell
A dryer that smells like burning or feels excessively hot is a fire hazard. Clogged vents, failing thermostats, or electrical issues can all cause overheating.
Dishwasher Overflowing
Standing water in the kitchen can damage cabinets, flooring, and create slip hazards. If your dishwasher won't drain and water is overflowing, shut off the water and call for emergency service.

What to Do While Waiting for the Technician
For Refrigerator Emergencies:
- Keep doors closed as much as possible — each opening lets warm air in
- Move perishables to a cooler with ice if available
- Check if the unit is in Demo Mode or if a circuit breaker tripped
- Remove ice from the freezer to prevent water damage when it melts
For Washer Leaks:
- Turn off water supply valves (usually behind the washer)
- Unplug the washer to prevent electrical shock
- Use towels or a wet/dry vacuum to remove standing water
- Take photos of the leak source if visible — helps the technician
For Dryer Overheating:
- Unplug the dryer immediately
- Do not use until repaired — this is a fire hazard
- Check the lint filter and vent hose for visible blockages
