Frequently asked questions about appliance repair services

What do I need to know about appliance maintenance and repair?

Today’s home appliances make everything easy and convenient, so it is easy to take them for granted to always assume they will function optimally. Regular maintenance can help ensure that all of your home appliances last longer, saving you time and money in the long run.

It can be quite inconvenient when a major home appliance stops working, so regular maintenance is key. Appliance repair services near you can correct any issues before the appliance breaks down completely.

Some modern home appliances do more than just break down - they can also damage your home. A broken washing machine, refrigerator, or dishwasher could lead to flooding, which may result in costly damage to your floors and belongings. If your appliance seems to be overheating, making strange noises, or not working to its full potential contact a home appliance repair company.

The sooner you can correct the problem, the better the odds that you’ll be able to save your appliance without having to buy a brand-new one.

How often should you service your washer and dryer?

There is no real rule when it comes to scheduling service for your washer and dryer, but it’s always a good idea to do a few maintenance tasks to keep these important appliances in tip-top shape. If your washer is leaking or not draining or making unusual sounds contact a home appliance repair professional as soon as possible. If your dryer is no longer spinning, failing to heat up, or emitting a burning smell, it’s time to call in the professionals.

Here are some helpful maintenance tips to keep your washer and dryer running as they should, so you can avoid having to contact a pro to make repairs.

  • Clean the dryer lint screen and lint trap thoroughly after every load of laundry.
  • Wash the lint screen thoroughly every two to three months and remove excess lint from the trap with a brush or vacuum attachment weekly.
  • Make sure you get your dryer ducts cleaned out at least once a year to prevent a fire hazard.
  • Dry the washer door and gasket after every load if you have a front-loading machine.
  • Make sure your washer and dryer are leveled on the floor.
  • Remove wet clothing as soon as you’re done washing a load to prevent mold and mildew. Leave the washer lid open when it’s not in use to dry the inside of the machine out in between loads.
  • Inspect the hoses and gaskets monthly to look for leaks or damaged parts.
  • Use liquid fabric softener instead of dryer sheets to prevent the dryer vents from getting clogged.

Keep these tips in mind to extend the life of these important appliances and avoid expensive repairs later.

How much does an appliance repair call cost?

The cost of a local appliance repair service will vary depending on where you live, current demand, and what type of repairs you need to have completed. If your appliance is currently under warranty or has a home warranty plan, the repairs will likely cost less.

Newer home appliances often have complex parts, including microchips and computer systems that could also cause repair times to take longer and cost more. Depending on where you live, it might be difficult to find an available repair person, which means the price will be higher in those cases, too.

Some appliance repair professionals charge a flat rate, while others may charge by the hour. Contact a few qualified appliance repair contractors near you to get estimates, so you can compare the costs side-by-side. Issues that require new parts may cost you more since the contractor will need to purchase and order the part and pay to have it shipped before it can be installed. Emergency repair calls will usually cost more, too. Most appliance repair professionals have an emergency rate, especially if you need help after hours.

Why should I hire an appliance repair contractor?

It can be frustrating when your reliable home appliances break down, and you might be tempted to try and make the repairs yourself. However, choosing a company that does large or small appliance repairs that will understand the inner workings of appliances is always recommended. These professionals can identify the root cause of the issue and have access to the specialized tools required to make the repairs.

It’s best to get to the root of the problem rather than doing a temporary fix that will likely cause more issues later. Appliances like gas ovens and dryers are definitely best left to the pros to avoid potential accidents and injuries, as is anything that requires the experience of a skilled electrician.

If you insist on trying to fix the issue DIY, you can start by referring to the owner’s manual to look at troubleshooting tips before you contact a professional. However, if the recommended steps in the owner’s manual don’t solve the problem, it’s time to get in touch with a pro. Hiring an experienced repair professional will save you time, money, and major headaches in the long run.

What does an appliance repairman do?

An experienced, qualified appliance repairman knows how to troubleshoot various problems and take specific steps to correct them once they’re identified. Appliance repair service contractors have extensive knowledge about the inner workings of everything from dishwashers and refrigerators to ovens, washers and dryers, and more.

It’s important to take a few simple steps to prepare for the appliance repairman, so the process is easier for everyone.

  • Notify the appliance repair specialist of your appliance’s make and model in advance and describe the issues you’re dealing with.
  • Clear a path to provide the repairman with easy access, including the space in front of, next to, and behind the appliance.
  • Empty your dishwasher, dryer, washing machine, or refrigerator before the repairman arrives so they can access the inside without any obstructions.
  • Make sure you get a written estimate before agreeing to any repairs. You should also confirm the terms of payment and whether or not it’s required at the time of the repair or if you’ll be billed later.
  • Confirm whether or not the issue is covered under your appliance’s manufacturer’s warranty or your whole-home warranty.

How do I hire a good appliance repairman?

Research appliance repair near you and before hiring an appliance repairman, keep these tips in mind.

  • Confirm that the repairman or repair company is certified and properly licensed to work in your city and state, if applicable.
  • Take some time to read customer reviews in advance to get a better idea of the level of customer service you can expect to receive.
  • Ask your friends or family members if they recommend a good appliance repairman near you.
  • Read the repair contract thoroughly and ensure that the “fine print” is clear and concise. You should always receive a written estimate before signing anything.
  • Look to the Better Business Bureau for companies near you that are accredited and that have a good BBB rating.
  • Compare appliance repair costs based on your make, model, and issue to see which company has the best rates. Remember that emergency and/or after-hours calls typically cost more.
  • If you need help from a plumber or electrician, you may need to hire them separately and pay more than you would for a standard appliance repair.
  • Choose an appliance repairman who responds quickly when you have a problem. If they’re hard to get in touch with, then it might be best to look for someone else.
  • A good appliance repairman will answer your questions, explain the problem in detail, and offer maintenance tips to prevent problems in the future.
