appliance repair
+ -1 moreTwo servicemen from Rick's Appliance arrived on time. They examined the dryer, replaced the drying element, cleaned inside the dryer and pulled the dryer out and cleaned behind for me. They suggested I have the dryer cleaned inside at least every year to reduce the possibility of fire. Total cost was about $90. Friends thought I would have to get a new dryer....it was fixed for under $100! I was very happy with the service and will have them back whenever I have a problem with any of my appliances...and of course will have them back at least once a year to examine and clean my dryer.
Description of Work: Fixed the drying element in my dryer. Cleaned the inside. Pulled the dryer out and cleaned behind it. Very efficient, friendly.

+ -1 moreRick and his partner arrived on time and were very professional. The team seemed very knowledgable of the model however, after seeing a code error he hadn't seen before on our refrigerator, he used resources like the Internet and other repairmen to quickly understand the issue. He was able to troubleshoot the issue and fix it in a very short time. Great job.

+ -1 moreIt was delivered within the 2 hour window promised, very professionally, new in and old out. So far, a good experience.
Description of Work: Rick came out to my mother's house to check on her refrigerator, as there was food in her refrigerator that was not freezing completely. He determined that there was a freon leak, and told her that it would be over $500 to repair, and it would be cheaper to replace with a more current model. He called to let us know he had a used one available at his shop. We checked out other used refrigerators (my mum is 92, and didn't see the point in buying a new one), and found Rick's offer to be best. She bought it for $200, and he delivered and set it up for $85.

+ -1 moreHe could replace the motor on the old dishwasher or I could buy a new one. I decided to buy a new one. He said if I would like it he would pick up the new one for me, install it, take away the old one, all for significantly less than if I had to pay Sears for installation and delivery. That's the plan.
Description of Work: My dishwasher died. Rick checked it out very thoroughly and gave me options: repair or buy a new one. His assessment was balanced and professional without pushing me in any particular direction.

+ -1 moreVery professional! Very promplt! The guys arrived as scheduled. Upon inspection of the area where the dishwasher was to be attached, the guys realized they didn't have the correct hoses with which to completely install and hook up the dishwasher. (I live in an old house, so the pipes/fittings were a bit and quot;differentand quot;.) A couple of days later, they returned, and the job was completed without further delay. Moreover, even though I live 25 miles from their shop, Rick's Appliances did not charge a second fee for their second trip. Sadly, I cannot remember the crew members' names. I also cannot recall the office manager's name; she was so VERY helpful. I was extremely pleased with the entire transaction.
Description of Work: I ordered and purchased a special-sized dishwasher from Rick's Appliances. The crew delivered and installed the dishwasher. AWESOME job!

He immediately diagnosed extreme build up of scum in and around my washer barrel as the cause of the smelly machine. He took it all apart and cleaned it thoroughly and efficiently. I've learned something about maintaining washing machines, and my laundry smells better now.

+ -1 moreBoth Dave and Richard were very friendly and professional. One was in training and he actually performed the job with the guidance of the other. Once the problem was diagnosed, a quick reasonable estimate was given to me, which I accepted. They completed the repair in a matter of minutes. When they left my house, I decided to do a load of laundry. I discovered only hot water was going in and when I switched to cold water, the machine stopped. I immediately called the company to see if Dave and Richard could return to my house, which they did shortly afterwards. Again, they were quick to figure out the problem: my husband forgot to tell me he had turned off the cold water. Once it was turned back on, the problem was solved. I would definitely recommend this company to others.
Description of Work: Our washing machine had a leak. My son recommended I call Rick's Appliance Service as he heard it was a good company.Two service employees: Dave and Richard came to the house and immediately discovered the problem: a broken water pump. They replaced it with a new water pump in a short matter of time.

dryer vent cleaning
+ -1 morePlease refer to paragraph above. One thing I did notice after tech had left was that wall had become chipped and smudged during his effort to recover his cleaning apparatus. Overall, visit went well.
Description of Work: Service began with a visit to check on non-functioning washer. Problem was diagnosed as a failed pump. Instead of fixing 9 y/o appliance, we opted to shop for new washer/dryer set since this and other negative features of this model had caused serious concerns. Meanwhile, opted to have Rick's come out and perform dryer vent inspection and cleaning in preparation for upcoming appliance delivery. Service representative was punctual and appropriately attired, he conducted himself professionally at all times, and seemed happy to answer all washer/dryer-related questions. While retrieving cleaning apparatus from vent, tubing got hung up on an elbow, and shaft snapped. Technician never panicked; instead, we improvised a "recovery plan" and, after 45 minutes or so, he was able to reclaim last two segments of flex tubing that had become lodged in dryer ductwork. I especially appreciated his patience and demeanor throughout. Would definitely consider them for appliance repair needs in future.

+ -1 moreThe intial trip to our home was to diagnose the problem with my dishwasher and then to order the part. As soon as the part arrived, an appointmet was made for the following day. The technicians were very professional and did not push me to repair, gave me the cost of a new unit vs. repairing the unit. They were on time for both scheduled appointments. The repair time was estimated at 1/2 hour and it took about an hour and a half but the cost did not increase. I was will use them again and give their cards to my friends.
Description of Work: Had to have an entire motor assembly put into my dishwasher.

+ -1 moreRick came out, analyzed the situation, and explained our options. One option (not always available) was to use a loaner freezer so we could save the freezer contents. Our freezer had to be emptied and defrosted before an accurate problem analysis could be made. We took him up on the loaner and did the transfer, defrosting, and restarting of freezing. It turner out to be the timer that was defective; it had to be ordered - 35 year old freezer. They ordered the timer, installed it and the freezer checkout perfectly. The process with checking out the freezer and delivery and pickup of the loaner involved making 6 appointments, 5 of which were completed within the scheduled window and the remaining one was rescheduled early in the window. Office staff and technicians were all great to work with. I highly recommend Rick's Appliance Service.

+ -1 moreTwo days before our daughter's 1st birthday (and the onslaught of 6 out-of-town guests and her party), our refrigerator decided to stop working. I frantically searched Angie's List for a repairman and saw that Rick's had great reviews. I was not disappointed. The receptionist, Danielle, was extremely friendly and got back to me immediately once I had left a message. Rick was able to come out within a couple of hours, determined what was wrong, ordered the parts and fixed it the next afternoon. We were very pleased with their professionalism and speed at getting the job done. We will definitely use them again if we are in need.

+ -1 moreIt started with an impressive job done by Rick's dispatcher, Danielle. She helped gather the information that would help Rick to be prepared when he arrived on site. We agreed on a date / time and Rich arrived on schedule. He diagnosed the problem and left saying he'd get back to me in a day or two after he had a chance to double-check his strategy with Kitchenaid. Danielle called a couple of days later and explained my options and we agreed to order a new control panel. She called again about a week later to let me know the part had arrived and scheduled Rick to install it. Again Rick arrived on schedule, installed the new control panel without a glitch and reminded me that it came with a 90-day warranty. I couldn't be happier since I thought I'd have to buy a new range where instead, for $260, this range should provide many more years of reliable service.
Description of Work: Repaired control panel (many of the keys wouldn't work) on a 10-year-old Kitchenaid Electric range.

+ -1 moreRick came out and checked it and ordered a new pump. When he returned to install the pump he discovered the old pump was clogged. After removing debris from the old pump it worked fine. He saved us over $100 by not installing the new pump he special ordered. We never would have known if he hadn't been so honest. He also showed us how to access the pump in the future if the problem recurs.
