Want to check if you can solve the issue without calling us in? Here are some tips and answers to common problems.

Refrigerators
Why did my refrigerator stop running?
If your refrigerator quit working totally, the main thing to check is the thermostat — odds are that you need a new one.
Why is my refrigerator making strange noises?
If your unit is making peculiar or loud commotions, this could be an indication that the compressor engine is coming up short or the fan is broken.
Why is my refrigerator leaking water?
If the fridge is leaking, a stuffed drain hose or defrost drain opening could be at fault. Otherwise, the gasket around the door could be broken.
Why is my refrigerator not cooling properly?
If your fridge is experiencing difficulty keeping up its temperature, the thermostat, door gasket, or a blocked drain could all be at fault.
Why is there fluid in the fresh food compartments?
In the event that liquid has collected in the fresh food compartments of your fridge, it could be the consequence of broken door seals.
Washing Machines
Why won’t my washing machine turn on?
Usually, this is caused by a tripped, off-balance switch from an imbalanced load that can be easily fixed by redistributing clothes. Otherwise, you might have an issue with your outlet or the timer circuitry.
Why is my washing machine not draining water properly?
If you have a damaged pump, worn out drive belt, or a clogged drain hose, then water will remain in the drum. If it doesn’t drain properly, then it could lead to serious problems.
Why is my washing machine not spinning properly or at all?
When clothes are soaked at the end of a cycle, it may indicate that the washer is not spinning. This could be due to a broken lid switch or lid plunger, broken or worn-out drive belt, burned-out spin solenoid, damaged wires, or a bad timer contact.
Why is my washing machine vibrating so much?
If you notice the vibration, your washer may not be leveled or could be located on weakened wood floors. Snubber pads or worn damper pads might also be the reason.
Why is my washing machine leaking?
Stuffed drain pipes, excess soap, loose hoses, and leaking tubs, pumps, or tub water injection hoses may be the reasons for leaks and other damages.
Why doesn’t my washing machine have any agitation?
There are many reasons for no agitation, including a drive spindle, worn drive belt, wigwag plunger/lifter, transmission mode lever, or an agitator assembly. It may also be caused by a bad internal timer contact, defective lid switch, or a broken pressure switch.
Why doesn’t my washing machine have any cold water?
There may be sediment buildup in the valve or the cold water valve may be turned off.
Why does the wash cycle leave soap on all my clothes?
A broken timer contact or a sediment-clogged cold water valve may be the reason for soap left in your clothes.
Why are their still spots on my clothes after the wash?
Spots that aren’t removed with soap and water may be caused by the oil from an unfunctional transmission.
Ice Machines
Why does my ice machine have no water supply?
Low water pressure (below 20 psi), can hold back the water supply to your ice machine. Additionally, when the water inlet valve is out of order, the water supply is cut off.
Why isn’t there enough ice coming out of my ice machine?
Clogged filters easily prevent the flow of water to your ice maker, thereby preventing ice production.
Why is water leaking in my ice machine?
If cubes look oversized, a leaky water inlet valve may be the reason.
Why does my ice machine have poor ice cube production?
If your machine is too warm, then production will decrease, because the ice maker takes much longer to produce a batch of ice.
Why is my ice machine not producing ice cubes?
The water may be shut down if the temperature is too high due to other appliances, such as a dishwasher pumping hot water into the cold water line.
Why is my ice machine making deformed ice cubes?
If there’s a clogged water filter or supply line, issues may cause the evaporator to freeze because of a low water flow, thereby creating undersized cubes or ending production.
How can I tell if my ice machine is cold enough?
It must be between zero and five degrees Fahrenheit for it to properly work.
Why is my freezer switch having issues?
This switch may be either damaged or possibly turned off in some cases.
Cooking Equipment
Ovens, Stove Tops, and Ranges

This usually happens because of a bad switch.
Why won’t my burner ignite?
Exchange it for another burner to see if it is the burner, the receptacle, or the actual switch.
Why is my oven door jammed?
Why is my oven door jammed?
Why isn’t my oven self-cleaning properly?
This may be because of a damaged self-clean latch switch or function selector.
Why isn’t my oven baking or broiling properly?
A defective bake igniter or valve may be the issue, which may need new parts.
Why does the indicator light always stay lit?
In most cases, this is because of a bad or damaged switch.
Why is my oven not heating at all or heating poorly?
You might have to replace your bake or broil heating elements. Depending on the type of oven you may have, this could happen for other reasons. Call Panther to discuss with experts.
Why does my oven have inconsistent temperatures?
A defective bake oven igniter, temperature sensor, or selector switch may be the problem.
dryers
Why is my dryer not running?
When the dryer doesn’t work, check to see if a circuit break has been tripped or if it is unplugged. You might also have a broken thermostat, defective terminal block, or damaged start switch.
Why does my dryer get too hot?
Clogged vents, a bad thermostat, or defective heating coils might lead to overheating. If your dryer gets too hot, it creates a potentially dangerous situation and should be taken care of right away.
Why does my dryer not get hot enough?
If the dryer drum is spinning but not giving off any heat, it may be due to a defective fuse, thermostat, temperature switch, or heating coils.
Why isn’t my dryer drum spinning?
If the motor in your dryer is running effectively, but the drum doesn’t spin, it’s most likely due to a broken belt. A bad roller, motor, or idler pulley could also be the cause.
Dishwashers
Why are my wash cycles running longer than normal?
Dishwashers that runs too long may experience issues when finishing the cycle. If that happens, then it could be the thermostat keeping the cycle from progressing or your timer may be broken.
Why won’t my dishwasher fill with water?
Reasons why your dishwasher may not load with water can be a damaged water inlet solenoid, a broken valve, a damaged overflow switch, or even a defective timer.
Why is my dishwasher leaking out?
Too much or incompatible soap is a common cause of leaks. The issue could also be worn-out door gaskets, tub-to-motor gaskets, spray arm assemblies, or a leaking pump/motor assembly.
Why does the water not pump out?
A stuffed drain line, worn down drain solenoid, or a drain impeller could all be reasons preventing water from being properly removed from your dishwasher.
Why is my glassware coming out looking cloudy?
Cloudiness possibly indicates a poor rinsing prior to loading or extremely hard water throughout the house that may require a softener. Contact Panther for more advice.
Why does my dishwasher hum and then turn off?
In the event that you see that your dishwasher makes humming noises and then shuts off, it likely means the machine needs a new motor. We can help you clearly determine if this is the case.
Why are my dishes not cleaned well at the end of a cycle?
When dishes are not properly cleaned, it may be due to clogged spray armholes, a worn-out pump assembly or wash impeller, or a burned-out heating element.
Microwave Ovens
Why is my microwave not working?
If you’re certain the microwave is connected to the outlet and the door is shut closed, the problem is likely to be the circuit. If the electrical current gets very strong or you shut the microwave door very hard, it could bring the breaker to blow. If reinstalling the circuit works, you may have a defective door switch.
Why are there sparks inside my microwave?
This may be the result of foil or utensils in the microwave, food splatters that ignite, a shorted high voltage diode, or a broken stirrer resulting from a damaged fan motor or stirrer belt causing heat to focus on one area.
Why is the turntable in my microwave not rotating?
If your turntable isn’t spinning, the carousel may need to be re-adjusted on the turning instrument. It will likewise be brought on by a worn out or split turntable drive bushing. Another issue that can precipitate this is a damaged tray motor.
Why isn’t my microwave heating food?
If your microwave isn’t warming your food and you hear a loud strange noise, you could have a damaged magnetron, capacitor, or diode. This should be reinstalled or repaired by experts. Call Panther for help.
Why does the touch pad on my microwave not work sometimes?
Your microwave’s touch pad may break down from water or insect infestation, stopping you from normally selecting settings for your food. This means you will need to either replace or fix the touch pad for proper function.
Wine Coolers
Why is my wine cooler not turning on?
This could be for a variety of reasons. Make sure that you check for defective fuses, tripped breakers, and loosened power cords.
Why is my wine cooler not cooling?
Depending on which model it is, this could be due to condenser or compressor issues, thermostat problems, or evaporator fan motor damage.
Why is my wine cooler leaking water?
Compressor models may leak water if the door is still open, door seals are damaged or dirty, or a drain hose is stuffed.
Why is my wine cooler making strange noises?
Popping and cracking is normal due to temperature changes, if it’s moderate. If there are vibrating noises, make sure the cooler is leveled. If you hear grinding or squealing, call Panther for service.
Why is my wine cooler’s door not closing properly?
Ensure that the surface is leveled. If it is and the problem continues, check for dirty door gaskets or improperly set shelves.
Freezers
Why won’t my freezer turn on?
If the freezer is plugged in, turn it on, and see if the breakers are working properly. If the freezer still won’t turn on, then you need professional assistance.
Why does my freezer make strange noises while functioning?
Startup noises and thumps could be an indication of compressor or motor issues.
Why is my freezer overcooling?
If your freezer overcools, it can create unwanted frosting. If you notice frost in or on pipes, be sure to get help right away.
Why is my freezer not cooling?
This could be the result of a number of things, including the possibility that the door was left open or the temperature was accidentally balanced.
Why is my freezer not a consistent temperature?
Going from warm to ice in your freezer can cause your food to spoil. It’s possible that dust or dirt are causing problems, and for these and the more difficult issues, we can offer assistance.
Why is there a lot of frost in my freezer?
If you see there’s too much ice in your freezer, the defrost system might be broken or the evaporator fan may need to be replaced.
How can I tell if my door isn’t sealing properly?
