The customer's Wolf gas range needed to be converted from natural gas to propane operation. We completed the conversion and tested the unit to ensure proper function on the new fuel type. Job complete. Technician inspected the range burner configuration and converted the unit from natural gas to propane operation, including adjustment of orifices and regulators as needed for the fuel type change.

The customer's refrigerator was not making ice. We inspected the ice maker and found it was not producing ice or water, and the freezer compartment wasn't cold enough. We ran diagnostics on the ice maker and confirmed all components were functioning properly, then power cycled the unit to reset the system. Diagnostics revealed the ice maker was reading 14°F during the diagnostic cycle. All system components tested within normal parameters. The unit was power cycled per manufacturer protocol to restore normal ice production.

The customer's refrigerator was leaking refrigerant, which prevented proper cooling. We located and repaired the refrigerant leak, restoring the unit to full operating condition. Job complete. Technician inspected the refrigerant system, identified the leak location, and performed repair work using a drier-step valve component. The unit was tested and confirmed to be holding refrigerant charge properly.

The refrigerator wasn't cooling and the compressor wouldn't run normally—it kept tripping the overload protection. We tested the compressor with diagnostic equipment and found the start device was faulty. The compressor ran successfully when we bypassed the defective start device, confirming that was the problem. Job complete. Technician tested the compressor operation using a test start device on a cheater cord to isolate the issue from the overload protector. The compressor started and ran under test conditions, indicating the start device required replacement.

The freezer wasn't cooling properly and the unit had tripped the circuit breaker. We diagnosed a refrigerant leak in the sealed cooling system and replaced the evaporator, filter drier, and door gasket to restore proper cooling function. Job complete. The technician inspected the evaporator coil and found minimal frost buildup with temperatures of 30–50°F, indicating a sealed system refrigerant leak. After removing the machine compartment cover, evaporator temperatures dropped to 14°F, confirming the leak was causing inadequate cooling due to reduced refrigerant circulation.
