small appliance repair
+ -1 moreI had the technician, Mario, check the dishwasher to determine why the door would not stay partially opened. He found that the door links were broken. My microwave grill was broken and needed to be replaced. He was able to get all the parts in that same week and installed them at my convenience. He was on time, very professional, and explained what the problems were. He did a great job. I have used them before and will do so again. I've been very happy with all the work they've performed.

appliance repair
+ -1 morePlease see above details. An analogy would be: a mechanic pulling out and replacing the old radiator in your vehicle but not replacing the existing radiator hoses with new ones. Then they would tell you if you wanted new hoses installed you would have to have that done by a specialized radiator technician. Had I been advised in the beginning, I would have called a plumber and not used this provider.
Description of Work: Problem: non-functioning garbage disposal. Need: Replace/install new garbage disposal. Called provider. Explained needed new garbage disposal installed. Discussed with dispatcher which garbage disposal unit we wanted. They advised they would bring the disposal with them. When the technician arrived, he brought a different brand than was discussed (a Whirlpool instead of a Badger). The technician was here approximately 20-30 minutes and installed the garbage disposal. It was discovered later that not all new parts were installed. The new disposal was attached to the old existing flange connector to the sink. The technician also took the box that the disposal came in; including instructions, manual, warranty and new parts not installed. The invoice did not reflect a separate cost for parts and labor. The company was called regarding our concerns. The manager advised that it was not their policy to install the flange as different technicians had different skill levels and we would have to have a plumber do it. He also stated that they did not do a lot of garbage disposal installations. None of this was advised when we called to schedule the service. He also acknowledged the invoice concerns and stated they just showed the overall price because people got upset with the labor costs. The manager spoke with the owner(s) and called and said they would come and install the complete disposal unit. A date was set. However we were not called with a scheduled time and no one called or showed up on the installation date set. After this, we elected to pick-up the parts and instructions/manual/warranty at the business site. We no longer had confidence that this provider could meet their commitments. We had recently used this provider and were happy with their service. We were extremely disappointed with our repeat service experience.

Description of Work: I purchased a Big Deal to have them do repairs on my refrigerator. They looked at the ice maker and checked the lines. We were also having an evaporator issue with the fridge that they took care of.

Description of Work: The technician was prpmt and very polite. AFter I descerobed the problem that the dryer was not fully drying the clothes after a full cylce, he suggested a few things that might have cuased the porblem. After chekcing the lint exhaust, he removed the control board and determined that it was not the issue. He removed the front of the dryers, checked the electrical coonections and found that one of the leads to the moisture sensors was disconnected. He did some other checks, reattached the front panel, and cleaned up the area.

appliance repair
+ -1 moreChris explained the diagnostic and repair procedures as he worked through the problem and suggested early signs for me to be aware of a repeat problem. I was so pleased with Appliance Repair Specialists that I recommended them to a neighbor with a long standing ice maker problem.
Description of Work: When we returned from vacation at 1:00 AM, we found that both the freezer and food sections of the refrigerator were not cooling. I phoned Appliance Repair Specialists in the late morning and the repair technician, Chris, arrived at 3:00 PM that afternoon as promised. He very promptly completed his troubleshooting and diagnostics and presented the repair cost which allowed me to decide if I wanted to proceed with the repair. The problem was that the defrost water drain from the freezer section was blocked causing water to back up and freeze which created an ice block which in turn prevented the cold air circulating fan from operating. After the drain was cleared, Chris did additional testing and determined that the drain froze because a drain heater failed. He switched to a backup drain heater and the refrigerator has been operating satisfactorily.

+ -1 moreWe found Appliance Repair Specialists through Angie's List when our washing machine suddenly would not drain while doing a load of laundry. I called on a Monday and received a Wednesday appointment. The tech arrived on time and had the parts on hand to fix the problem without having to come back later. To me that was a big plus! The fix took about 15 minutes total. I was glad to have it fixed, but the bill seemed high to replace a washing machine lid lock.

+ -1 moreThis was not an easy job; after 2 attempts to get the heating element fixed, the repairman discovered that the element was in contact with the box, the box was dented and needed to replaced. He tried to work with electrolux to get them to cover the replacement of the box, but since it was 6 months past the warranty period (figures), they wouldn't do it. Still, paying for a new element and box was cheaper than a new oven. The repairman was always on time, extremely professional and very easy to work with. I would hire this company again.

appliance repair
+ -1 moreI discovered melted sherbet and thawed meat in the freezer today. After 3 other calls, i finally heard what I needed to hear - ARS could send a person over within 30 minutes to check out my frig. Unfortunately, the frig was dead on arrival. The frig was fairly cold, but the freezer now had melted sherbet and thawed food. Mario did his best to use a transplant and get the compressor going again, but all efforts failed. It was going to be next to impossible to find parts to repair it and it would be very costly! So I say, "Good-bye and RIP to a faithful frig that served my family well over the past 2 decades!" GE makes good products.Thank you to ARS and Mario for trying to serve my needs and repair my frig. I won't hesitate in calling you again when I need something repaired, and I'm on a short call time schedule! You got my VOTE!!!
Description of Work: After 3 other calls to businesses on Angie's List, this company was able to send Mario out on the call. He was within the time frame promised (30 minutes from the call time), and he was courteous and tried his best to repair my 1986 GE side-by-side frig. I ended up paying for the service call only - with the 10% Senior discount. Every dollar helps!

+ -1 moreWe had just moved into our home and the refrigerator icemaker wasn't working properly. We kept getting water on the floor. We tightened the couplings at the water line but that didn't solve the problem. We couldn't find a leak but kept getting water on the floor.We called and they sent someone out. The tech was extremely nice and professional. He found that the problem was the water was spurting out of the back of the machine when it was trying to fill the icetrays. He said it was because the line was frozen. He took the tube down, used a steamer to melt buildup, put it back together, tested it and was done. Great service, good response time and very professional service tech. Thanks!

+ -1 moreNot well!!! Repair specialist? looked at unit and said just as I thought, the line to dispense water is frozen. He told me the door would have to be ordered and replaced. The other option was to shut the refrigerator down for 2-3 days and see if that would work. l#1-- I told the repair specialist that I wondered if that is what I would be told as I reviewed Angies List prior to the call and another customer was told that same thing. ( When it really did not have to be replaced) He told me that he was aware of that situation and that the person was no longer with them. #2-- I sent GE an e-mail and guess what... They said they have never heard of replacing a door just because the water line was frozen. # 3 --They wanted the name of the company that recommended this repair. My recommendation is that you do not use this company. Find one that is customer friendly and wants to have a great reputation of doing great business. I am apologizing to Mr. Kimball and his company for the misunderstanding that the GE company.created. After GE told me it could be fixed without replacing the door..guess what? You were right an they were wrong. I am sorry and apologize for this confusion. In fairness to Mr. Kimball, he sent an explanation of the repairwhich should have been done and a refund check for the amount of the repair, which we are now sending back to him. Again my sincere apology.

+ -1 moreWhat a refreshing experience. We had just purchased a Dryer from a department store that had turned out to be a nightmare. The unit was only one day old and had only been used twice before we experienced problems. The location from where we purchased the unit would not repair it(even though it was their warranty). We contacted Appliance Repair Specialist and were able to get the same day service for their opinion. When Mario arrived he knew exactly what the problem was. He was able to get the unit working so I could at least get some laundry done before the store came back to pick up both units. Not only did it get the dryer working but he answered many of the questions we had regarding various brands of washers & dryers. It was so nice for a change to find an honest repair person and company. If we experience any problems with any other appliance again, they are the only company we will call. Great Job!

It started not getting cold yesterday so we found Appliance specialists on Angie’s list with a $20 service coupon. My wife thought it was dead and already picked out a $2300 new one at Lowes. The tech arrived right on time and only took him 30 minutes to analysis the issue and install the new part. Had it cooling again in no time. Cannot thank them enough! Regards, Mike Taylor

appliance repair
+ -1 moreThey first came out in the beginning of July and arrived on time to give me an estimate. After some time at my house, he determined that the only way to fix the refrigerator was to order a whole new door to replace the one that dispenses water/ice. They said it would take 2 to 3 weeks for it to arrive and that's how they kept stringing me along until the end of November when I decided I didn't want to wait any longer. And the worst part is no one EVER called me - not once. I had to stay on top of them and call them to find out the status of my order, despite them always telling me that they would call me and let me know when the refrigerator door would arrive. Very poor communication = very unprofessional. Not to mention that as it turns out, I didn't even need a new door, because last week I called another Angie's List company and they fixed my refrigerator the same day, without having to replace the door. Update: I spoke with the owner, he called and was very kind and apologetic. He offered to refund my estimate and has acknowledged that they "dropped the ball", but he will in the future personally stay on top of contacting customers directly and updating them on their back-order. He also mentioned that there is only one distributor for LG parts and they are out of Korea, so they are still learning to deal with the company.
Description of Work: A representative came out to give me an estimate on fixing my refrigerator so that it would dispense water and ice, he determined I needed a new refrigerator door, so I decided to go ahead and order it.

+ -1 moreThe overall experience was excellent and I would definately call on this company for any future applicance work. I thought the cost was a little pricey but the overall experience and the fact that he was able to fix the problem and was able to do service calls on a Saturday, where I didnt have to take off from work, made it worthwhiile. I would definately recommend this company to others.
Description of Work: I initally bought the "Big Deal" from Angies LIst for Large Appliance Repair Specialist for $79.00. I have a Whirlpool side by side refridgerator and the ice maker had completely stopped working. The repairman Tyson came in and immediately identified the problem of why it was not making ice. I had to later call him back to let him know that they fridge was not dispensing the ice. He came out assesed the problem and had to order the part. He then came back out a third time and installed the part. I was charged a service call only once since it was dealing with the same problem and could not be identified because there was no ice to see if the ice maker was working. Each time Tyson came he was in and out in less than 30 minutes. He was very professional and make sure he cleaned up after each job. Very impressed with this technician.

He also told me that it would cost as much or more to fix it than a new washer would cost. I would much rather go the new route than repair what I had at the same cost.
