When my 27-year-old electric dryer ran and tumbled the clothes but did not dry them, I found it was still cold after about 15 minutes. I was concerned that because of its age, it might not be repairable. Checking Angie's List, I chose three companies to call and decided on Broad Ripple because of its reviews, its proximity to where I live, and the coupon. Since this was not an emergency, I waited a day to call and later yesterday afternoon, they offered to try to come out yet that day, but I opted for a window of 8:00 - 11:00 this morning instead. Brad called shortly before 8:00 to say he was on his way. About 8:15 he arrived, pleasant and polite. He had notes on what I had described as the problem. As he started working, I asked if he was "Brad" and explained he was mentioned repeatedly in Angie's List reviews of the company. He acknowledge he was and asked if I had the coupon with which members could get a discount. Proceeding, he efficiently removed the dryer front panel, tested the electrical something, and explained what he found, showed me the burned-out coil, and said he didn't have that part on the truck. He would have to go to Castleton for it. He gave me a quote for the repair which I readily agreed to. He was back more quickly than I expected, part in hand. It wasn't too long before he had replaced the coil, replaced the panel, and written the paperwork. He processed my credit card, thanked me, and was out the door. Broad Ripple Appliance's customer service, the offer of options without making assumptions (appointment time and estimated cost of repair), a pleasant and knowledgeable technician, and timely service made this a very positive experience. I was also overwhelmingly relieved to learn that I had a good solid 1986 dryer which was "one of the best made" and that I did not have to go through the hassle and expense of buying a replacement. The reviews on this company were very helpful.
Description of Work: My electric Maytag dryer was running and tumbling the clothes but not heating. Brad came out this morning, quickly checked inside the dryer and identified a burned-out heating coil. He showed me where the coil was separated. He found the part number, had to leave to purchase it, and was back very shortly. He replaced the coil, put the front panel back on, and he was done. This took about 75 minutes. Brad was cheerful, professional, adept at diagnosis and repair, and reassuring that I had a really good dryer ready to work again.

Brad was courteous and professional. He got right down to work and completed the repair in a short time.
Description of Work: My dryer was making a new noise, so I called Broad Ripple Appliance on Wednesday afternoon. I got an appointment for Thursday morning, and Brad arrived as promised. He quickly identified the part that needed to be replaced, and he had one on his truck. The whole thing took no more than 15 minutes.

We had an excellent Service Technician (Brad). Explained the job and went beyond the simple repair to make sure we understood why the heating element on our dryer had burned out early (showed me the part and explained its failure). Checked our outside dryer vent and made a reccommenation on getting them clean to improve airflow. Courteous and professional.

Brad arrived on time and immediately diagnosed that we needed a new icemaker in our 25-year old refrigerator. He had to run out to get it and replaced it upon returning. He was probably in our house no more than 45 minutes total, which included some maintanance suggestions and answering some questions. I was very impressed with scheduling the appointment and the speed and professional manner of our experience and would recommend them without hesitation. The total cost was a bit more than I would like but was very satisfied with the result.

The service call and repair was completed to my satisfaction and I would recommend,anduse them them again, for appliance service.
Description of Work: My refrigerator was leaking. I called Broad Ripple Appliance to schedule a repair and was able to get same day service. I had used them in the past on 2-3 occasions for washer/dryer and ice maker problems.I was very satisfied with the previous service calls and decided to use the again. The service tech, Brad, was on time, professional and friendly. He found that an ice block and drain clog had caused the leakage. He removed the blockage and cleaned the drain. He also instructed me on how to avoid this problem in the future. The refrigerator was repired to my satisfaction and I thought the repair cost was reasonable.

Our dishwasher was leaking water, so we asked Broad Ripple Appliance to come and have a look. The technician determined that there was a leak in the motor. It was repairable, but the cost of the repair would be more than the cost for a new dishwasher. He recommended that we purchase a new dishwasher, rather than replace the motor. He then outlined exactly what kind of dishwasher he would recommend, and at what price we should pay. It was very helpful and useful advice, which we followed in purchasing our new appliance.

IWe called Broad Ripple appliance because the door latch was not releasing when the clothes were done. We had made a temporary fix in that we could pull a release underneath the soap dispenser to unlatch the door. When the repair man came he knew right away it was not worth fixing ($470 estimate). After his diagnosis, I asked him to put it back the way he found it so that we could continue washing clothes until we could get a new one (it was the holidays). He said he did. After he left, I washed another load of clothes and the spin cycle did not work at all. The clothes were soaking wet. We tried several things to no avail. I called Broad Ripple appliance to ask that they come back and put it the way the found it but they said they had not done anything to it. They were absolutely no help at all and made the machiine unusable by doing their diagnistics.

I tried to fix my dryer by myself and replaced some simple parts to no avail. I called Broad Ripple Appliance and from the moment I spoke with Beth Ann, I felt confident in their customer service and she accommodated my very busy schedule and set up a Saturday appt. Brad called on his way, and he arrived in the time frame they promised. He was very professional, courteous and solved the problem with my dryer. The issue was the timer, which of course is one of the most expensive parts to repair. He counseled me on my options and I decided it was better to purchase a new dryer. He gave me unsolicited and excellent advice on purchasing a new dryer with the current economy. He also gave me his phone number if I were to have any questions or concerns. I did not chose to use their services to repair my dryer, but the advice and peace of mind was worth every penny of the service call. I would use them again, and recommend them highly.
Description of Work: Problem solved why my dryer would not start, gave estimate and excellent advice.

Broad Ripple Appliance was highly recommended by a friend of mine and did not disappoint. I appreciated their professionalism, knowledge, sincerity and speed in getting my washer repaired. The price was also very reasonable. I would use them again.
Description of Work: My washer had tried to fill up with water but then stopped and would not agitate. Broad Ripple Appliance came out the same day I called. The technician called ahead to let me know when he was on his way and was right on time. He had my washer repaired in no time. He found the lid switch was not working properly and repaired it. He also ran the washer through diagostic tests. It's working great now.--and I didn't have to buy a new washer!

My freezer on my refrigerator was leaking water and I didn't know what was wrong with it. So I called Broad Ripple Appliance and they sent out a technician the same day. His name was Brad and was very professional and polite! He had diagnosed the problem and fixed it very quickly. He had removed ice build up from the bottom of my freezer and drain. He then went through and checked the rest of my refrigerator to see if there was anything else wrong with it. The refrigerator and freezer are now in perfect working condition! No more leaks!!!
Description of Work: My freezer in my refrigerator has been leaking water for awhile now and I could never find out why until I had Broad Ripple Appliance send out one of there technicians. The technician did a thorough inspection of my refrigerator and freezer and had determined that it was due to the build up of ice in the freezer. Therefore, the technician removed all the ice build up from the freezer and the drain. He then inspected the entire refrigerator to make sure there was nothing else wrong with it.

I've used Broad Ripple Appliances several times for repairs and purchases. I've been impressed with their knowledge and honesty. They let me know if it would be better to buy something new than to pay for the repairs of my existing appliance. When I wanted to buy a new microwave, I went to them first and found a great deal on a scratch model.
Description of Work: Called to see availability of a "scratch or dent" gas dryer. The receptionist was so helpful going onto the floor to check.

I have been preparing this house to sell since Oct. 1, 2012. It was to go on the market on Dec. 7th. The burner had gone out of the stove, and was never fixed. The ice-maker was faulty and ice built up around the mechanism and periodically would stop working.Broad Ripple Appliance was very efficient, cordial, helpful, and knowledgeable. I was very satisfied with their work.
Description of Work: fixed burner to a stove (flat-top electric) that was not working. Replaced ice-maker in freezer in kitchen.

Grinding noise coming from the refrigerator awakened the household during the night. After doing my Angie's List research I contacted Broad Ripple Appliance. They were able to come out same day. Brad recognized the problem immediately. He located the replacement part at a local supplier and was able to make the repair by end of day. He communicated exactly what was going on and resolved the problem in a timely fashion.

The agitator went out on an 18 year old washer on a rental unit. I was afraid I would be told that I would need to purchase a new one based on the age. However, Brad for Broad Ripple Appliance came out the same day that I called and had the agitator and coupling replaced in 30 minutes and now the washer works great! I have used them before for minor repairs and will definately use them again. The price I paid, was certainly MUCH less than I would have had to pay for a new Washer. Outstanding service!!!
Description of Work: The agitator (part the moves and spins on a washer) was not working. This was an older washer (approximately 18 years old) on a rental unit that I own. I was afraid I would have to purchase a new washer due to the age of the machine. Brad from Broad Ripple Appliance came out and quickly diagnosed the problem and replace the agitator and coupling. I called in the morning and were able to fit me in the SAME day! Plus, they called 10 minutes before arrival and arrived when they said they would. It took Brad less than 30 minutes to fix the problem. The washer works as good as new.

This is such a great company. From booking the appointment to the professionalism of the tech who came out, I would highly recommend this company to fix your appliances. I also was able to save $10 by using their Angie's list coupon. The tech, Brad, was so professional and made me so relieved that I didn't have to buy a new dryer and the cost of the repair was very reasonable.
Description of Work: My dryer stopped turning and had a burning smell. I feared it may be time to get a new dryer. Broad Ripple Appliance came out the same day I called for an appointment and with the simple replacement of a part, my dryer was working like new again.
