Description of Work: I called this company to schedule an assessment and repair for my electric oven. I received a return call within 10 minutes. They were able to assess my problem over the phone and that saved a visit. The replacement part was ordered right away and we scheduled an appointment for repair in 2 days. The service was professional and accurate. I also really appreciated the prompt response.

Description of Work: They replaced a part to our washing machine. He had visited with me on the phone to make sure it was something that could be dealt with before he came out. He was prompt, very curteous and got the job done in an hour.

Description of Work: Chris from P.A. Came out to fix my dishwasher then as he took it apart he noticed that the dream was broke and also the main pump for the machine was broken it was leaking on the floor in probably three months the machine he is a kitchen and I have had it for only two years he said that it should be under warranty and then I should call the manufacturer regarding the dishwasher. Oh so the fan at the top of the dishwasher that dispenses water was broken off and that was attached to the tubes it goes down to get the water so the whole assembly had to be replaced I called the factory for help with this dishwasher. They said it was only guaranteed for one year and I should have bought their extended warranty which I did not because I had paid $1500 for this dishwasher and expected it to last for quite a while. finally I was able to speak with a manager who after some discussion said that as a good faith gesture they would pay for the parts but I would have to use one of their qualified repair co. I called Chris to explain this to him. He had already ordered the large pump but told me not to worry about it as he could use it at another time. Chris had me have the other repairman remove his drain pump for him to come and get. Chris did come back for his pump and charged me only $50.00 for his time. He was definitely the most fair and kind person that I have had as a plumber in a very long time. Would I have him come for other plumbing needs? Absolutely!

Description of Work: I have a GE Range that had a problem that the electrical oven was not working. Chris called me back in a timely manner and asked me a few questions about the problem. He determined over the phone that one side of the electrical supply was not working. I checked the electrical braker and found that one side was tripped. I thanked him profusely and was able to restore power.

Description of Work: There were problems recently with the temperature staying as programmed both in the refrigerator and the freezer drawer. Christ promptly returned my call and stopped by the same afternoon as promised. The refrigerator had started to work normally again by the time he arrived. He checked everything out, seals, etc., explained the workings of my digital refrigerator and replaced the bulb in the freezer drawer. Based on Chris' suggestion I turned off the electricity at the circuit breaker to reset the digital computer. The refrigerator has worked normally since. Chris wanted to only charge $20 but I paid $40 as I had requested a service call.

Description of Work: My refrigerator and freezer had quit cooling. Owner did the work and came up with a diagnosis very quickly. He had the part needed to make the repair without having to order the part. Once the fan was replaced, the predicted additional work was not needed, which was a pleasant surprise. I have already recommended his company.

Description of Work: The load sensor on our Whirlpool (Kenmore) washer had stopped working (which effectively stopped the machine from doing anything). I contacted Chris Martz at PB Appliance, as I had referred him to my Mom previously, with excellent results. He gave me a convenient and prompt appointment, arrived early (after phoning ahead) and diagnosed the problem promptly. He installed the new sensor and made sure the washer would work without any further difficulty. |I'm very pleased with this gentleman's work and felt the price was fair.

My tenant's refrigerator suddenly stopped keeping her food cold and she was afraid she would lose the contents. She contacted me in the evening. I called several companies recommended by Angie's List. No one else answered but Chris answered his cell phone. He asked about the age of the refrigerator (ten years) and the symptoms, said probably the motor had gone out and it would be worth replacing. He talked to my tenant about scheduling. He wasn't available until early afternoon and my tenant had to get to a doctor's appointment by mid-afternoon. Chris said he would call early afternoon. This morning I reached a company that could guarantee they could be there so my tenant could get to her appointment. I cancelled Chris's work. I really appreciate Chris's honesty in saying he probably could be there in time but he couldn't guarantee it. I'll call him next time and will hope the schedules work.
Description of Work: Consulted Chris about refrigerator not cold.

I've definitely found my go-to-guy for appliance repair. Our Bosch dishwasher stopped draining, and I called Chris last night at 6pm. He scheduled an appt. with me at 11am this morning to come and fix it. He arrived right at 11am, and quickly determined that our dishwasher cleanout was clogged. It took him 2 minutes to fix it. He took a good look at the dishwaher, saw I was having a lot of lime buildup, scrubbed out some of the filters, and ran through a de-scale solution. He advised me how to avoid both of my problems in the future. Then, he reattached my dishwasher to the frame (it had come unattached). In putting everything back together, he noticed that I was missing a wheel on my lower basket, which he promptly replaced. On his way out, he told me how to fix the knobs on my stove that had come loose so I wouldn't have to pay $50 to replace them.
Description of Work: Fixed Bosch dishwasher that had stopped draining properly and had come loose from its frame.

We called Chris sat. morning at 8 am. He called back within a half an hour and was at our house within two hours. He fixed the problem quickly and answered all of our questions. See above for details of repair. We will call Chris again.
Description of Work: Chris fixed our dryer. It was making a banging noise. While he was here, he also showed us how to effectively clean the vent that was clogged with lint. We had also called for a repair on our washing machine which was super loud on spin mode. He knew exactly what the problem was without even looking at it, and explained that it would cost more to fix it then to just use it until it breaks and replace it.

After checking Angie's List, selected this business. Chris came out within the hour, fixed the problem ASAP, was professional, quick and personable - AND reasonably priced.
Description of Work: Had a small lint fire in my dryer. He popped off the front panel, found the lint build-up, cleaned out the innards of the dryer, cleaned out the vent passage and was on his way. Way easy.

First I checked Angie's List for positive reports on large appliance repair. I wanted a small, local company, so called Pacific Beach Appliance Repair. Chris was able to fit me in the very next day, came at the appointed time, accurately and clearly diagnosed the problem, and had the parts and the knowledge to fix the problem immediately, and at a very reasonable cost. What can be a frustrating experience turned out to be a breeze, and I'm very grateful.
Description of Work: Our aging but generally reliable washing machine was not spinning properly and leaked a small amount of water with every load. Chris Martz from Pacific Beach Appliance diagnosed the problem rather easily and fixed it the very same day.

Chris pulled the stove away from the wall and discovered it had become unplugged. How a 3 prong pig tail became unplugged is a mystery, but he took care of it.
Description of Work: A tenant called to say the stove wasn't working. Chris has worked on this stove before, I feared a high end electric appliance near the beach was becoming a bad idea, as we'd already had to replace the entire control unit after just a couple of years, about two years ago.
