What Near North Side does
to a home appliance.

High-rise apartment and condominium towers line Michigan Avenue and the lakefront here, one of the densest residential skylines in the city, alongside Victorian-era mansions preserved in Old Town and the Gold Coast Historic District.

The Cabrini-Green public housing towers, once home to about 15,000 subsidized tenants, were demolished between 2000 and 2011 and replaced with new residential development.

Goose Island's southern end shifted from industrial buildings to condominiums, townhouses and apartments as the surrounding Near North Side redeveloped.

Tower living

A leak in a tower runs downhill through the neighbors' ceilings, so upkeep there puts supply hoses, the ice maker's water line and the dish-care drain connection first, with the shutoff valve for each one located and turned while nothing is wrong.

Apartments and small homes

Apartments with a stacked laundry pair in a closet trap heat and damp around both machines, so the closet door's louvers, the lint screen housing and the washer's door seal all get attention when upkeep is booked there.

Built-in and paneled suites

Heavy custom door panels load the hinges of built-in refrigerators and dishwashers over the years, so an upkeep visit checks hinge tension and door alignment, since a door that sags no longer presses its gasket evenly.

When a home appliance
cannot wait in Near North Side.

In Near North Side as anywhere, these five signs mean upkeep has waited too long and a hazard has started in the home, so the appliance stays off until it is looked at: a hot or burning-lint smell from the laundry, a gas smell at a cooking appliance, a supply hose leaking or bulging, a burning electrical smell, and a breaker that trips when the appliance runs.

All 17 problems
A quiet home laundry room with a front-loading vented machine standing still, its door closed and its display dark, a faint thin haze of pale smoke hanging near the round metal exhaust collar on the wall behind it, a crushed silver foil duct visible at the back, the power cord unplugged and lying on the floor, seen from the doorway. Fire, gas, water or wiring risk

Hot or Burning Lint Smell in the Laundry Room: Stop the Cycle

6 causes, cheapest first

 An empty home kitchen at dusk with a stainless gas cooktop and a wall oven, every burner dark and every knob at off, the kitchen window and the back door both standing open to the evening, a yellow-handled gas shutoff valve visible low in an open cabinet beside the cooktop, seen from the hallway. Fire, gas, water or wiring risk

Gas Smell Near the Oven or Burners: Get Out, Then Call

6 causes, cheapest first

 Low view behind a front-loading washer pulled slightly away from the wall in a home laundry room, a black rubber fill hose with a visible swollen bulge near its fitting and a thin stream of water spraying from it onto a tile floor, a spreading puddle, the hot and cold wall valves above. Fire, gas, water or wiring risk

Supply Hose Leaking or Bulging Behind an Appliance: Shut the Water Off

6 causes, cheapest first

 Close view of a white wall outlet low behind a stainless kitchen appliance, a plug half-seated in it with a faint brown scorch mark on the outlet face and a thin wisp of gray smoke rising, the dim kitchen beyond out of focus. Fire, gas, water or wiring risk

Burning Electrical Smell From an Appliance: Breaker Off First

6 causes, cheapest first

 An open gray electrical panel door on a garage wall, one breaker in the row sitting in the tripped middle position, a white upright freezer standing dark and silent on the concrete floor nearby, soft daylight from a side window. Fire, gas, water or wiring risk
