Went very well from start to finish. Had a problem with the phone, in terms of letting him in the gate and the elevator access but it was on our end, not his. Worked out fine as neighbor let him in. Very quickly diagnosed and repaired.
Description of Work: Very easy to schedule quickly. Came very promptly to repair a washing machine problem Was flooding laundry room and condos underneath us. Turned out that it was just a bleach hose that had come detached so it only took 5 minutes to diagnose and repair. However, needed someone fast who was able to resolve the issue and they certainly did so.

Description of Work: I woke up one morning with my washer not working, i google so info and figured out what I though was wrong. Contacted this company and the gentleman that answered the phone was very helpful. He informed me it would be 100 for them to come out and look at and fix it. I asked if they sold the part he informed me that they did and I told him I would like to attempt to fix it myself and he offered to show me how when I came to pick up the part. When I arrived the part was 40.00 and they instructed me on how to repair the part on my washer and how to take the washer apart and what to expect. Their instructions were perfect and it took me about an hour to fix and save me 60.00. I would highly recommend them. Cindy

Excellent.
Description of Work: Great company. Needed repairs on a dryer and the repairman was completely up front about everything. Informed me that repairs could be done, but it'd be much cheaper to look into a new dryer. Went to their store a couple days later and found a good selection of refurbed dryers at a great cost. Came with a warranty too.

We contacted Appliance Center to come out and fix our Kenmore microwave. We kept getting an F7 error which I diagnosed as needing a new inverter, as it was not heating. I contacted AC about coming out and installing the new part. They were quick to come out and look at the microwave after receiving the part. The Tech installed the part and the microwave did not work. He said he would have to take the microwave in and it would take approximately a week for the microwave to get fixed. I told him we had small children and use the microwave many times daily, but they still gave us an estimated fix-time of 1 week, even though they had no clue what was wrong with the microwave. I decided to have Sears come out and fix it as they are more expensive but have always been able to get the appliances working. We had paid $260 for a part and labor that did not fix our microwave. At payment, I presented a coupon for Angie's List customers for $39 once work was completed. They told us they would not honor the coupon because that was only for trip charge, which no one ever mentioned a trip charge to begin. They had only told us that it would be $100 for labor. After discussions with the Manager there, they still would not honor the coupon. I felt this was very misleading and after explaining our entire case to the Manager, he was not very understanding. I'm a huge fan of great customer service and did not feel that we were treated in a fair and honest way. Next time I will ALWAYS call Sears as they always do what they say they will do.

I think I wrote the complete 2011 story in previous paragraph, the call I made today was a mistake the operator's (self) fault, I did not have my water filter installed properly and the ice maker shut down, it had operated for nine months with it installed improperly. Chris showed me what I had done wrong.
Description of Work: Had a problem with my ice maker on my refrigerator. Had used this company in Sept. of 2011 and Chris did an excellent job, he is the main reason I called them again. Did not write a report in 2011 because I was confused with their invoice not matching their listing on Angie's List. It was explained to me and now I'm not confused. They had used a parts department invoice on my job and I had called the service department. Never thought of calling both numbers. The company as a whole is excellent..My job in 2011 consisted of a motor for the ice maker going bad. Chris said it was very unusual for this to happen, but he had the part in his Service vehicle and it was installed and up in running, his complete visit was just about a half hour.. I wish all service personnel was as efficient and courteous as Chris.

They came to the house and adjusted the belts on my dryer. The only complaint is that it wasn't same day repair like they said it was. Friendly and answered all of my questions.

I called Applicance Center this afternoon. A live person answered the phone immediately. Within about an hour or so Don called to let me know he was on the way. I had called another company who was not able to come out today. Even though this was not an emergency situation, when I was told someone could be here today and that it would be just a short matter of time, I went ahead with Appliance Center. Don was courteous, answered my questions, and took care of the problem very quickly. He checked out the other things I had asked questions about. I was given a discount. The cost was so reasonable to have the appliances fixed and working. I would not hesitate to contact Appliance Center again in the future. Great job, Don. Thank you.
Description of Work: The cold water line for the 14 year old Kenmore washing machine was not functioning well; the cold water would just trickle in. It would take forever to fill and warm was more hot than warm. The baffle on the drum in the 14 year old Kenmore dryer also was coming loose and grease/dirt (?) under it was coming off on clothing. I also thought would be a good time to check the lint and dryer vent. Don knew immediately what needed to be done; he replaced the cold water valve. Then he made sure the washer was functioning properly, explained about the agitator and answered questions I had about it. Then he was able to fix the baffle in the inside of the dryer. This did not require any new parts. He also checked out the lint filter to make sure it was working OK.

They answered the phone when I called, and I did not even have to leave a message and wait for them to call back. I told them what the problem was, and they told me that the drain hose was probably pushed too far down the tube. They asked me to raise it up a little bit because it was creating a vacuum and would not let it drain. They asked me to call them back if this did not work. I was able to fix the problem by pulling the hose out a little bit and tying it down so it would not drop in again. It was very nice and professional of them to offer help for free when they could have come out and charged me $35 for the service call. I would use them again in the future if necessary.
Description of Work: I asked Appliance Center Inc for help with the cylinder of a washing machine that was not draining.

I thought I would have to replace it but the repair was well worth delaying the replacement. Technician, Dan, arrived when he said he would and quickly and efficiently fixed the fridge. In a down economy where there is a place for every penny, prolonging the life of an expensive and necessary item is a win, win.
Description of Work: Repaired a 15 year old Amana, freezer on the bottom, refrigerator. It was no longer keeping anything at the right temperature. Defrost thermostat was replaced.

I have used this Co many times through the years. I call and describe what problems I am having with my appliance and they take the time and help me pinpoint exactly what part I need to buy. They give me a quick lesson on how to replace the part and off I go. They have been dead on each time. One time in particular I indicated to them that I was fed up with my appliance and was open to buying one of theirs and to my surprise they talked me out of buying a new one and reassured me that If I replace this certain part I would once again be happy with my old one and sure enough they were right! Now that's selfless customer service. They also come out and repair your appliances If you don't want to do it yourself.
Description of Work: This company has helped me repair my washer, dryer, and refrigerator. They have sold me parts to solve my appliance problems.

He was on time. He was very professional. He was kind and courteous. I would not use him in the future. The charge for the visit, quoted on the phone, was larger than what he said it would be.

My experience is an A+! They had to make 2 trips because of parts that were needed. The repair was more difficult than we expected. They only charged me 1/2 of the price of the service charge and installation for the second visit. They were very prompt, professional, and I would use them again in a heartbeat!
Description of Work: They repaired the burners and a switch in an electric stove.

The first time he came out he didn't have the right switch because I did not have the model number. He came out a 2nd time with the right switch and fixed it for no extra charge. We also had something wrong with our refrigerator which he repaired as well for not extra charge. We thought the service was outstanding.
