Description of Work: The strip where the refrigerator door closes was warm. Which I never noticed before. After the repairman checked the refrigerator I was told it was working fine. It was supposed to be warm to keep condensation away. I felt silly but happy nothing was wrong with the refrigerator.

Very well - the technician arrived as scheduled, explained what he was doing and what he thought the problem was. He gave an estimate for the cost and when we agreed to it ordered the required parts. He returned three days later, installed the new controller and the ovens worked.

Excellent polite and professional service from "William".
Description of Work: "William" came the next day after I called. The earliest I could get with a local Roseville repairman was three days later. Anyway, we had the experience of having a ten year old Whirlpool refrigerator which was at room temperature. The refrigerator was worth $1200.00 so I opted to repair it. The repairman showed up on time. In 10 minutes, he diagnosed a probable need for a "relay replacement to the compressor". He explained the cost with a $20.00 discount for an "Angie's list member". He said if this didn't work, we would need a new compressor for $800.00. He replaced the relay and suddenly everything worked again. He told me to keep repairing this older model as the newer ones break down in 5 or 6 years and need full replacement. Total time for repair was 30 minutes. He also told me to use a vacuum on the coils every six months and it would stay in better operation. I am so happy I chose "Folsom Lake Appliance". I can see why it has so many A ratings. W.K.T.

FLA employee arrrived within time frame I was given on a Saturday. He spent about 5 minutes diagnosing the problem, 5 minutes getting the part from his van, and 5 minutes replacing the part. After spending 15 minutes doing the job I was given a bill for $203! I was charged about $70 for the drive to my home in El Dorado Hills from Orangevale, less than 12 miles, about $60 for the part, and about $60 for labor, this was including the $20 Angie's List labor discount. I paid the amount since my washing machine was now in good working order. Later I checked on-line for the part from Sears and found that I was charged $20 more than Sear's retail price. I called the office and said that I thought I'd been overcharged. It appeared that he individual had no interest in my complaint. I gave them a poor rating due to their unresponsiveness and and their unprofessionalism regarding my complaint. I felt like I was talking to a wall. I would not recommend this company.

Response from Lake Appliance Repair Inc
I am astonished by this Angies List reviewer. I am the owner of the company and just got off the phone with this customer as I believe she made a VERY unfair report against our company. In explaining to this customer that I'd be happy for her to call other competitors she flat out refused to see the quality of service she actually received. We visited her home within 24 hours of her calling. We have trained technicans who know what they are doing. Our company is licensed, insured, and dedicated to providing excellent service. This is why the technician knew her problem, knew where the part was on his truck, and knew how to fix the machine within 15 minutes. We spend hours of training our guys - not just technicial but customer service as well. We spend hours doing inventory counts to ensure we have accurate parts on each vehicle. This customer did not get handed a bill after the work was completed. She approved the estimate and was back in running condition within 24 hours of her phone call to us. That's the service we WANT to provide. We do not charge exorbitant rates - we are an appliance repair company looking to make a living while providing a good service. We have an overhead that must be paid for. Marketing, inventory, payroll expenses, not to mention the taxes, insurance, fuel, and vehicle costs in running a legitiamate business. Could you find a servicer less expensive? Yes... but not for the quality we can provide. As far as the Sears part being cheaper - of course, but this customer failed to include the shipping charges Sears would charge, or the fact that they are a nationwide company with a much better buying power than us, or the fact that they wouldn't be able to supply her with the part for 5-10 days of purchase had she even known what she needed.

Very good. Very professional. Checked motor first before informing me of the problem and the cost. That way I could weigh my options between just buying a new washer versus repairing it. I ended up repairing it as the motor was in excellent condition.
Description of Work: Washing machine repair. It had stopped working and would not go through the spin cycle, it just made a buzzing sound.

This service story is unlikely to be repeated; therefore, do not expect this level of response. Benefit 1. After finding two appliance repair services within 10 miles of my home, I could not decide which of the two would be best. So, I joined Angie's list to use member reviews to select the one with the highest ratings (reviews). Surprisingly, Angie's list showed a third company with the name Folsom Lake was within 10 miles and, more important, had the highest rating of any appliance service within 30 miles! Benefit 2. I called Folsom lake Appliance minutes after receiving this information, and was asked if it was okay to allow the technician to check the refrigerator within 15 minutes. He was finishing up at a home in my neighborhood and could stop by to do the preliminary diagnosis before going to his next scheduled visit. He quickly diagnosed the problem, checked with the shop part availability (last one), and added my home to the end of his schedule the following day to install the part. Benefit 3. The technician was not informed of a staff meeting the following morning that was blocked out in his schedule; so, he had two hours freed up for service. The scheduler called and asked if he could come early (within 30 minutes) to install the compressor; I agreed; he arrived and completed repairs that morning. While the most important factor to consider is quality of service, and I did receive a quick and accurate diagnosis and the least disruptive repair, it is very important to note that the time to receive this service, including joining Angies List to ensure quality, was less than 26 hours. While it is unlikely to repeat, do not be surprised if Folsom Lake Appliance provides equal service to you, because of its use of dispersed field technicians who may be working at a home nearby when you request service.
Description of Work: Determined the cause of refrigerator/freezer failure and replaced the compressor the following day.

Great experience! Our refrigerator died over the weekend. Because it was a Kenmore we called Sears, but they said they wouldn't be able to service it until Wednesday.. We called Folsom Lake first thing Monday a.m. They were here early afternoon and fixed the fridge quickly. They carry a large inventory of parts on their trucks, so there was no waiting for parts. The tech was professional and friendly and answered all of our questions. There was a minor issue with the invoice, but I called the office and they straightened that out as well.

Our Dacor range fan (pop-up vent) stopped working. I called FLA on a Thursday and was told they were able to work on it but the first appt I could get was the following Monday afternoon. Two hours before my appt FLA called and said that their repair people lacked the expertise to work on the range fan and canceled the appt. One the one hand, it's nice that they confessed this failing before the tech showed up (but confessing this when I called on Thursday would have been nicer); on the other hand they advertise and I was told that they do work on Dacor when apparently they don't, or at least not on range fans. Why didn't the clerk I spoke to know this? In the end, my husband ordered a new circuit board,installed it himself, and the fan now works fine. I'm giving him the 'A' on this work!

I really appreciated the professionalism and honesty. The repairman really knew the product and explained my options very effectively. I would definitely call Folsom Lake Appliance again.
Description of Work: We recently bought a house and inherited a refrigerator that promptly broke down. We had called another appliance place that couldn't figure it out, so I called Folsom Lake Appliance. Juan came out and was very professional. He gave an estimate for the repair of $400, but advised that the model of refrigerator we had would just keep breaking down, because it's a lemon. I appreciated the advice, since he could have encouraged me to pay the big repair bill. That evening I went out and bought a new refrigerator.

Our oven was malfunctioning. Contacted Home Warranty provider. They referred the issue to Folsom Lake Appliance. Folsom Lake Appliance provided a appointment date/time that worked for us. On the morning of the appointment, the repair tech called to inform me that he was on the way. When he arrived I described the problem to him and he started working on the oven right away. He found the problem relatively quickly (faulty bake igniter), contacted the Home Warrany company for approval, installed the new part, and tested functionality. The cost to us was $55 since the repair was covered under our home warranty. We were advised that without the warranty the repair would have cost around $150. All in all it was a good experience.

It costed us about $200. The experience was fine. I thought that the price was expensive. I have nothing to compare the price with. The quality of work was so-so. They had to come back 3 times. I had a feeling that they could not find orders. They were very nice. I hate to say a thing about them. However, I probably would not use them again.

He came when scheduled-nice when you need to take an afternoon off work for this sort of thing. He did the job I hired him for, then examined the dishwasher closely. He was concerned that it was subject to a recall by Maytag. We are the 3rd owners of this house, so we wouldn't have been notified. He told me not to use the dishwasher until I had checked on the recall, because of fire danger. It wasn't part of the recall, but I certainly appreciated the extra effort.

It went great. They arrived when expected, checked everything and isolated the problem. The part was not a common one, so it had to be ordered, but it arrived quickly and they called and scheduled the final appointment within a few days. Paul was very agreeable and cleaned up after the work.
Description of Work: Dryer stopped working....Paul determined that it was a fuse inside the unit. He ordered the part and installed it then hooked it back up to my vent for me.
