I have a kitchenaide supra microwave / oven. I was cooking and the control panel went black. The microwave light turns on and the oven heats but I can not do anything since the control panel is off. I have to have the breaker off so that the oven stay cold.

Dryer will not turn on. Tried electrical plug, fuse, etc. Also, my freezer, icemaker is not working, if there is an appliance repair person who could fix both, that would be ideal.

Refrigerator Repairs
Most refrigerator repairs tend to involve a leaky appliance, a refrigerator that doesn't cool properly, or doesn't cool at all, or a refrigerator that has stopped completely. There are a few basic steps you can take to get your appliance functioning properly again, but if these don't work, there is no other choice but to call in a professional refrigerator repair specialist. Any refrigerator repair manual is only meant to be used by persons who already have a working knowledge of the refrigerator, its components and functioning. Before attempting any troubleshooting or refrigerator repairs, make sure that the appliance is unplugged from the power source. A refrigerator that has stopped running could be the result of something as simple as a defective power source. Check if the appliance is getting enough power by plugging some other electrical device into the refrigerator's power outlet. If there is no problem with the power, confirm that the appliance is not running by checking if the light turns on or if there is any humming sound coming from the refrigerator. A refrigerator that has suddenly gone dead could be the result of a fault in the wiring, defrost timer, thermostat or compressor.
If your refrigerator doesn't seem to cool properly, check if the thermostat is turned to a proper setting. If there is no problem with the thermostat, check if the compressor motor is functioning properly. A compressor motor that is running will make a continuous humming sound. If there is nothing wrong with the compressor motor, you may have a more serious problem on your hands, and need to call in a professional refrigerator repair specialist. If the refrigerator makes a lot of noise, it could be because the fan has become worn out overtime. Other causes of a noisy refrigerator can be the condenser fan motor in case of a self defrosting refrigerator, the defrost timer or the compressor. In case the compressor is making noise, then refrigerator repairs will involve replacing the motor altogether. There are no compressor repairs that can be done to reduce the noise. In case of a noisy condenser fan, clean the fan using a soft brush after unplugging the refrigerator. A noisy defrost timer will have to be replaced.
Other common refrigerator repair problems include freezing of the food in the refrigerator. Check the internal temperature of the appliance, and set it to a reading between 35 and 42 degrees. If the temperature is set to too cold, and you can't change it by turning the thermostat, then you may have a defective thermostat that must be replaced. Reduce the need for refrigerator repairs by undertaking periodic maintenance of your refrigerator. Make sure that the condenser coils are cleaned regularly, and clean out the drain pan often.
