Exercise Caution When Hiring Appliance Installation Services

At CanFix Appliance Repair, our technicians often encounter dangerous situations due to improper appliance installations. One recent service call revealed a significant electrical and fire hazard during a routine dishwasher repair.

In this particular case, the cable that supplies power to the dishwasher should have been connected to the appliance's power supply within a metal junction box. This box is designed to contain any open-air splices in the event of an electrical short. Unfortunately, the installer had spliced the cables together inside the base of the dishwasher, completely bypassing the junction box. This not only failed to contain potential electrical shorts but also exposed the connections to possible leaks, dramatically increasing the risk of fire or electrocution.

This situation underscores the importance of always hiring a trained professional for appliance installations, particularly those requiring electrical connections like dishwashers. Improper installations can lead to serious hazards, endangering your home and your family's safety.
