Just excellent. Was a little concerned because the repairman seemed so young, but he was prompt and knew exactly what part was needed. Ordered it, picked it up, and was back in 15 minutes. Whole repair took less time than I expected.

A technician (Anthony) was dispatched to my rental unit on the same day my call was made. He called me from the premises to advise that the transformer in the washing machine needed to be replaced. Anthony said he could repair the unit but it would be labor intensive and expensive. The repair would cost almost as much as a new unit. I appreciated the promptness in responding to my call and the honesty of the estimate. This is a very professional, well run company and I will not hesitate to use DiChristopher Appliance again.
Description of Work: Inspected a stacked washing/dryer unit; diagnosed a bad transformer in the washer.

The cleaning issue was a simple fix, the parts were reasonably priced and now I have a dishwasher that is as good as new. DiChristopher saved me hundreds of dollars.
Description of Work: I was prepared to have to buy a new dishwasher. It was not cleaning my dishes at all and there were two parts broken. I was afraid there was a much larger plumbing problem.

My call brought Mr. D. to my door within the hour. Comforting to me, since I imagined that I'd be shopping for a new fridge that Friday afternoon. He explained the procedure and cost, then quickly replaced the sensor. Then he offered suggestions about what to expect, what sounds to listen for, how to monitor the thermometer and set cooling regulator. He also assured me that the temperature was still within normal limits and food was still safe. And, how to clean under fridge safely. He checked over electrical functioning of the unit, as well.(These things just happen on weekends. An example of how helpful the staff wants to be - Mr. D. kept the new kitten from escaping as they entered. They care.) Fine service from fine people!
Description of Work: Mr. DiChristopher diagnosed the problem with our side/by/side fridge and replaced temperature sensor. It has worked great since the 6/13/08 service call.

The service was very good. He came that afternoon and did the work. When I called the company, the woman I spoke to was able to get someone out to my house right away. They basically were able to schedule me in right away.
Description of Work: They did a minor repair by removing a clothing pin out of the drum that turns the dryer.

Extremely pleased with the entire experience. When I called after 5 pm, Monday I expected to get no answer or an answering machine instead got a real live person who was more than willing to take my call. I was told to expect a call between 7:30 and 8am the next day advising me when to expect the serviceman. At 7:40am I received the call and was told someone would be at the house between 9:30 and noon. Serviceman showed up before 11am and was courteous, professional and efficient. Entire job was completed in short order Definitely will call in the future and recommend this company to any who need appliance service.
Description of Work: Repaired leaking water control valve, a switch assembly and belts on washing machine.

This was a model service call. I spoke on the phone with Don DiChristopher, who had fixed a previous washing machine and kitchen range for me about ten years ago. We set up an appointment for his son Anthony, who now works in this family business, to look at my washer and address my concerns about the difficulty of cleaning the dryer vent. Don and Anthony confirmed the appointment by phone, and Anthony even arrived a little early. He knew right away why the washer wouldn't spin, explained that the switch probably got broken because the washer lid closed or fell too hard too often, and replaced the switch. He recommended the metal hose as safer (and I was happy to make that change), and while cleaning the vent, he showed me how I could do it more easily. I am delighted with the service provided. (The boxes on the report form don't have room for me to explain that though I chose the company based on my good past experience, I checked Angie's List website before calling to get current information since my experience was ten years or so old).
Description of Work: Washing machine would not spin. Replaced broken switch in the lid that controls the spin cycle. Replaced plastic dryer hose with safer (i.e. more fire resistant) metal and cleaned lint out of dryer vent.

Had front loading washer for 9 years. Never had a problem with washer until now. The door to the washer would not lock so I could not run the washer since it was a front loader. I was concerned that I would have to send several hundred dollars but was very pleased that the problem was minor and so was the cost. Very pleased.
Description of Work: Washer door would not lock which would not allow washer to work. Resealed rubber seal around front loading washer door. This is all that was needed to repair the door.

He was early for the appointment, immediately diagnosed the problem, fixed it in record time. While he was there, he gave me advice on cleaning my dryer vents and cleaning my dishwasher to remove spots off china and glasses. He was professional and polite, did the job quickly but thoroughly, did not chatter and stop for conversation. I was thoroughly impressed.
Description of Work: Diagnosed and repaired a clogged internal drain in my GE refrigerator and installed mini-heater to insure the problem didn't return. He had to remove all items from the freezer area, take off the floor and back wall coverings, scrap up the ices from both areas, install the mini-heater, and replace all parts. Although I had generally described the problem on the phone when I set up the appointment, he had not offered an estimate - which would have been a pure guess in any case. When he walked into the house, opened the refrigerator door, he gave me his diagnosis in 15 seconds and announced the cost in the same breath.

Excellent. Arrived on time. Diagnosed problem quickly. Located the repair part and had the job done in less than an hour. Which is remarkable because 10 days earlier, I had called a company I had previously used for 10-15 years. Their repairman was late, estimated the cost would be twice as much, then they lost the part order, the followup repairman was also late, and I ended up canceling them and calling Di Christopher who repaired the dryer in less than a day from start to finish (which the other company hadn't done it in 11 days). Anthony, the technician, was clean, courteous, and knew what he was doing.

The refrigerator was at the right temperature when Don arrived, but he noticed that a fan was not rotating as fast as it should. After a little troubleshooting he determined that a computer board had gone bad in the refrigerator. Luckily, he had the part with him and he was able to change the board on this visit. He did an excellent job at assessing the problem and determining what was wrong, not to mention fixing the problem as well. Don was excellent and was extremely pleasant. He called ahead of time, told me when he would arrive, and was very nice. He explained the problem with the refrigerator and why it wasn't working. I appreciated how he took the time to go through the details of what wasn't working right and why. This company has all that we consumers look for in a service company: professionalism, excellent quality, punctuality, and a price in line with other companies.
Description of Work: Don fixed a problem with the refrigerator's inability to cool properly. A computer board had gone bad and the board was replaced.

Don came out at our scheduled appointment time. I told him what was happening and he went right to work. He explained what he was looking for and what he was doing. He told me that I needed a new ...I don't remember what the part name was....fan???. He had them in the truck. He told me exactly what it would cost to replace and did it. The whole problem was solved in half an hour. He also told me the coils were clean and he checked out other things as well. Don is incredibly nice and doesn't try to sell you something you don't need. I was really ill that day and it was so nice to have everything explained to you instead of having to know what questions to ask. Also checked my dryer on the way out. Nice guy.
Description of Work: I called Dichristopher Appliance because the inside of our refrigerator was hot to the touch and I thought I smelled a chemical odor.

Called first thing on a Monday. They were here by noon. Refrigerator was not working properly. Technician told me what he thought the problem was (needed new motherboard and flap-door inside refrigerator). Showed me what was not happening that I should expect to see happening after he completed the work. After completing the work, showed me that the non-functioning elements were now working. Work was done inside of an hour. Even made a suggestion for me to eventually change the water line to the unit from plastic to copper and taped up the water line to lessen the chance of it cracking by being rolled over by the unit. Seemed very honest and straightforward.
Description of Work: Refrigerator/freezer stopped cooling. Replaced motherboard and flap-door between fridge and freezer.

Not well. As soon as I provided an address, I was declined business. There was no explanation given other than, "we have had problems in that area." Well, sometimes I have problems on the road or with my computer but it does not mean I stop driving or using the computer. This company is discriminating and unfair to the working public that live in our historic district. Do not waste your time if you live anywhere other than West Chase or some all-white neighborhood, I am sure of it.
Description of Work: Needed to have front end loader work done. It was perhaps a speed controller or thermostat problem.

Response from A DiChristopher Appliance Service
AS A SMALL COMPANY (JUST 2 TECHS, FATHER AND SON) WE CANNOT SERVICE THE ENTIRE TAMPA AREA. WE DO NOT SERVICE BRANDON, VALRICO OR RIVERVIEW AREA EITHER. WE JUST SERVICE THE NORTHERN PART OF THE COUNTY. THIS CUSTOMER TOOK IT PERSONAL. YOU JUST CAN'T PLEASE EVERYONE. I APOLOGIZED TO THIS CUSTOMER AND EVEN GAVE HIM OTHER PHONE NUMBERS OF OTHER COMPANIES THAT MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP HIM.

The part that had to be ordered came back in 3 days. Dirty clothes didn't pile up in laundry room. I expected a 2 week wait. The worker was mindful of the 3 cats roaming around and closed and opened doors so cats couldn't slip out. Prompt, good manners, fair price, didn't "dally" around. Keep doing a good job.

Alison called in the morning of the appointment to let me know to expect Anthony at 10:00. He called ahead to let me know he was coming and arrived a few minutes early. He was courteous and professional. After examining the dryer, he gave a detailed explanation of the problem, the solution, and the cost. He also gave some additional advice to prevent future problems and recommended a service to clean the exhaust vent. I join the other List members in highly recommending this company. I will definitely call them again if I need additional work.
