How do I book a repair?
Fill in the booking form with your appliance, the problem and a good time for a visit. We will reach out to confirm the appointment.
Will I know the price before the repair?
Yes. The technician diagnoses the problem first and gives you the repair price before any work begins. You decide whether to go ahead.
Which brands do you repair?
Most major brands, including Whirlpool, GE, Samsung, LG, Frigidaire, Maytag, KitchenAid, Bosch, Kenmore and Electrolux.
Do you offer same-day appointments?
When the schedule allows, yes. Book early in the day for the best chance at a same-day or next-day visit.
Why is my fridge warm but the freezer is cold?
This usually points to a defrost problem or a failed evaporator fan. Cold air is made in the freezer and blown into the fridge, so when frost blocks the coil or the fan stops, the fridge side warms up first.
Is it worth repairing an older refrigerator?
It depends on the age and the part. Fans, relays, gaskets and defrost parts are usually worth replacing on any fridge. A sealed system repair on an older unit sometimes costs more than it makes sense to spend, and we will tell you plainly if that is the case.
Why is my washer not draining?
The most common causes are a clogged drain pump filter, a kinked drain hose or a failed pump. Many front load washers have a small filter door near the bottom front that can trap socks, coins and lint.
Why does my front load washer smell?
Moisture trapped in the door boot seal grows mildew, especially in a humid climate. Leaving the door open between loads and running a cleaning cycle helps. A torn seal needs to be replaced.
Why is my dryer running but not heating?
On electric dryers a burned out heating element or a blown thermal fuse is the usual cause. On gas dryers it is often the igniter or the gas valve coils. A blown fuse often means the vent is restricted, so that needs checking too.
How often should a dryer vent be cleaned?
At least once a year for most homes, and more often for large families. A clogged vent makes drying slow and is a real fire risk.
Why is there water in the bottom of my dishwasher?
Usually the filter is clogged, the drain hose is kinked or blocked, or the drain pump has failed. If it is connected to a garbage disposal, a new disposal with the knockout plug still in place is another common cause.
Why are my dishes coming out dirty?
Clogged spray arms, a dirty filter, low water temperature or a weak wash motor are the usual causes. Mineral buildup from hard water often plays a part.
Why is my gas oven not heating?
The most common cause is a weak igniter. It may glow but not get hot enough to open the gas valve. It is a routine part to replace.
Why does my burner keep clicking?
Moisture or food debris around the burner, a cracked electrode or a faulty spark switch can all cause constant clicking.
Is it worth repairing a microwave?
For a basic countertop model, usually not. For over the range and built-in units, repair is often the better value because replacement involves installation and matching the space.
Why is my microwave running but not heating?
A failed door switch, diode, capacitor or magnetron is the usual cause. These need a technician because of the high voltage involved.
