When certain heavy power use appliances are on in my home, such as the electrical double oven, the clothes washer, or even a hair dryer, the lights dim materially. This has been going on for years, and an electrician has confirmed that I am getting 2 120 volt feeds for 240 volts. The oven is a Thermador, about 10 years old. What could be causing this issue, and how can I evidence to the power company that the transformer in my neighbor's yard, which was partially buried when they installed a pool, needs to be attended to?

The bake and broil controls on my electric oven, which is about 10 years old, stopped working suddenly. The top burners are functioning normally. What could be the issue and what steps should I take to diagnose and potentially fix the problem?

We have a black slime substance all over the floor of our GE dishwasher. It seems to slowly build up and become noticeable. We've tried running vinegar through it, but it hasn't resolved the issue. What could be causing this and what can we do to fix it?

I purchased a KitchenAid dishwasher, stove, and microwave on October 6, 2020. The dishwasher is missing a kick plate and has a chipped control panel, and the stove's fan seems to be running continuously and takes a long time to heat up. How do I get the dishwasher's kick plate and chip fixed, and is the stove's fan behavior normal?

Bubbles are appearing over buttons on the control panel of my new GE microwave oven (model JVM7195dk5bb, purchased in August 2020). Several buttons are involved, and the issue is getting worse. What could be causing this and how can it be resolved?

My Whirlpool dishwasher (model WDF760SADM2) suddenly stopped working. When I press any button, a red light blinks a few times, stays solid for a minute, then goes off. I've tried turning off the breaker for a few minutes and checking that the arms rotate freely, but the issue persists. What could be the problem and what should I do next?
