The client periodically suffered from water leak and once it bothered him and he called us to solve leaks. The reason was obvious. Dishwasher was not installed correctly, it was heavily littered with forward. After adjusting the right level, it started working fine without leaks.
As it often happens, the heating element burned down. Many thanks to the manufacturer for providing quick access to the heating element through the removable panel on the front for this model! This made it easier to repair. Heating element was successfully replaced and the dryer began to work as before
The customer called us to report that their Whirlpool Range oven is not working and requested that we identify the cause and fix the issue. We came across a rather amusing case. The customer explained that they were cooking food for a holiday, and after a long cooking, they were using a pot with oil on the stovetop similar to deep frying. After several hours of cooking, the customer heard a loud pop and noticed that the oven control panel went dark.
Our technician inspected the timer and found melted plastic. Upon opening the timer (oven control board), the technician discovered exploded capacitors on the board and concluded that the board had overheated. The extremely hot oil, which reaches temperatures close to 450 degrees, heated the front panel significantly, causing the plastic housing of the board to melt. Additionally, the capacitors overheated and exploded, leading to the malfunction of the board and the oven.
We ordered and installed a new control board and strongly advised the customer not to cook under such extreme conditions for future holidays! No matter the issue, we will always figure out what’s wrong and repair it with a warranty.

A customer contacted us with a complaint that their Frigidaire refrigerator is warm and the freezer is also malfunctioning. Sometimes we have to fix the poor work of other companies, and this is one of those cases. The client was dissatisfied with the inadequate cooling in their refrigerator and freezer. Upon inspection, our technician discovered a lack of air circulation as the root cause of the issue. The motor and its evaporator fan were working, but the blades were not spinning. However, the technician noticed that non-original blades were installed, and the blades themselves appeared to have been roughly cut.
The technician concluded that the original blades were likely broken, and the technician from the previous company simply didn’t have the correct replacement in stock, so they installed blades from another refrigerator. Perhaps, due to the mismatch, they had to trim the blades, but this caused an imbalance. Over time, the hole in the blade expanded, and the impeller simply stopped holding onto the motor shaft, causing it to stop spinning, which led to a lack of air circulation and frost accumulation on the evaporator coil. All they needed to do was to install the original part. The client was unaware of this, and when we showed him everything, he was quite surprised. Our technician installed the original blade and defrosted the evaporator coil, and the refrigerator started working correctly again.
If you’re also dealing with other refrigerator problems, like strange noises coming from the freezer of the Frigidaire, we’re here to help fix that as well and get your appliance running smoothly again. We always use the correct and original parts and provide a warranty for both the parts and our work, so you can always be confident that you are not being deceived. Contact us for assistance!

The customer complained of a loud knocking noise during drying. It turned out that the pulley idler at some point jammed from the lint caught in it and the belt began to worn it. After some time, the roller began to spin again and due to the fact that the belt all the time fell into this groove at high speed was a loud knock during working. We replaced the pulley idler in time because it could lead to its failure and a belt break.

The customer complained that the freezer door of the Kenmore refrigerator doesn’t close, although the refrigerator door closes tightly. The door has a self-closing mechanism, which is quite simple and consists of a plastic bearing. This bearing was completely damaged, and the technician ordered and installed a new one. After this, the door began to close normally. Perhaps this breakage occurred due to the refrigerator and the fact that this part is plastic rather than metal, for example, and this repair was very inexpensive, and we completed it quickly.

The main dryer’s problem is lint accumulating inside. Samsung dryers often suffer from this problem. Small particles of lint get inside the rollers and disable them. In this case, the pulley idler began to block, there was a lot of friction inside it, it started to warm up and the plastic roller melted and jumped off the base. The belt remained on the metal base and after a short friction on the base broke. Also, during the check other rollers, an almost jammed drum roller was found and we also replaced it.
We received a request to find out why the GE refrigerator has ice on the back wall in the freezer, and it is not cold enough. Our technician quickly identified the cause. Upon examination of the evaporator, he discovered problems with the defrost cycle. The entirety of the coil was uniformly coated in ice, indicating a malfunctioning defrost system. The technician found that the defrost thermostat was stuck in the open position, even though the temperature was low. This prevented the heating element from receiving power, causing the defrost cycle to malfunction. Consequently, the refrigerator was unable to defrost properly.
This type of malfunction is easily fixable because our technicians always have dozens of different thermostats on hand. After replacing the faulty thermostat and defrosting the evaporator coil, the refrigerator started working correctly again. Often, customers ask us whether they should repair their appliance or buy a new one. In most cases, repairs are so minor that it’s definitely worth fixing, as in this case. To find out how serious the problem is, give us a call, and we’ll send a professional technician who can quickly diagnose and resolve the issue.

A customer contacted us regarding unusual noises coming from their LG washer machine during each wash cycles. She described the sounds as if something foreign was inside the drum, making the washing machine unbearable to use. Our technician inspected the machine, confirming the possibility of an object lodged inside.
Initially, the technician checked the drain pump, suspecting a foreign object might be causing the noise. However, the inspection revealed a clean drain pump with no obstructions. To explore further, the technician suggested removing the boot gasket to peer into the narrow gap between the drum and the outer shell. Unfortunately, this step didn’t provide any visual insights into the issue. After discussing with the customer, the technician proposed a complete disassembly of the washing machine, including detaching the suspension, removing the front shell, control board, front panel, and door. The customer agreed to proceed with the thorough disassembly.
The entire process took approximately an hour, and the technician successfully identified the object causing the disturbance. Surprisingly, it was a bra underwire. While the laundry items were beyond saving, the washing machine was rescued from potential damage. The underwire, if left undiscovered, could have punctured the boot gasket or, worse, penetrated the outer tub.
The technician’s diligent search for the foreign object concluded successfully, leaving the customer satisfied. To prevent similar incidents in the future, we advised the customer to use a special laundry bag for delicate items like bras. This precautionary measure helps protect both the laundry and the washing machine during the washing process.
We encountered an uncommon instance where a customer observed water leaking from a GE refrigerator onto the floor. They turned off the water supply line, thinking it was a problem with a malfunctioning ice maker. However, even with the water turned off, water continued to leak from under the refrigerator.
Upon locating the source of the water, the technician found that the drain tube going into the drain pan had been chewed through by rats, and twice a day when defrost cycle works, water was flowing past the drain pan directly onto the floor. The technician fixed this by installing new tubes and recommended that the owner get rid of the rats to prevent this from happening again.
Rats are constantly seeking water sources. When they detect the sound of running water, they frequently chew through drain tubes in appliances like refrigerators. Additionally, they have a penchant for chewing through dishwasher drain hoses. This ceases to be a problem if you hire Pest Control and get rid of the rats. Sometimes our technicians are not just technicians but also detectives, and they have to solve such non-standard cases, but we always handle any problems. So, you can invite us to repair your appliances!
