Diagnosed problem as being the actual ice maker and not the ice photocell sensor as i had previously thought. We discussed issue previously over the phone; he brought photocell sensor and ice maker just in case. Made the repair on site; 30 minutes and the job was completed.

The repairman showed up on time. Moreover, he had diagnosed the symptoms in advance and showed up with the part in hand, thus removing the need for a second call. (He uses manufacturer's parts, not third-party parts.) The repair was conducted quickly and the problem was solved. In addition, he inspected the belt and removed lint from inside the dryer. This repair was a great example of how repairs should be conducted. The repairman was experienced, pleasant, and highly competent, and he answered my other questions about the appliance. A+ for A&R!

The dishwasher motor was shot. The bearings weren't good anymore. It was going to cost $475 incl parts and labor to replace it and we decided to get a new one. The range was fine. Daniel was awesome. He explained the issues and gave his recommendations. I would highly recommend this company. $75 service charge is VERY Fair. I can't tell you how many other firms want to charge you $125 or even more to just look without fixing anything and without giving you a credit for this charge upon completing the repair.
Description of Work: Our dishwasher wasn't completing its cycle and our range had a short (or so we thought).

Another great job by Russell. He figured out the problem right away and could fix it on the spot because he had the replacement part in his truck. No more gas leak when I use the oven.

HIghly recommend this company. Russell adjusted his schedule so I could get quick service without having to take off of work, and was very quickly able to address both problems (for one of them I will need an electrician). Very sweet and considerate individual. The woman who set up the appointment also gave me some good advice about dealing with the wet clothes and non-draining washer before my appointment.

AWESOME!! He came out when I wasn't at home. My tenants let him in and hung out while he fixed their oven and mine (shotgun house). One oven is a modern one; the other is from the 1940s and hasn't worked since I bought it. My tenants said he was the best, nicest guy, explained everything thoroughly, and was just a pleasure to be around. He kept in good phone contact with me while I was at work, explaining everything, and I was able to pay over the phone. And when all was said & done, it was way more affordable than I thought it would be, and now I can use the oven I bought three years ago! Oh the cookies I have made since he came & worked his magic. (And BTW, other repair people either refused to come look at it because it's 70 years old, or else said there was a minimum $150 charge to even give it a gander. Jerks.) All in all, I would absolutely call him for anything else that breaks. I mean, let's hope nothing breaks, but it won't be unpleasant if & when it does.

Fantastic. I will definitely be calling upon A&R again for appliance repairs. This is the first company in New Orleans that I have been INCREDIBLY happy with for working with our appliances.
Description of Work: Wonderful guy - I had an issue with the ignitor in the oven and he knew what the problem was immediately. Since it was such a small fix he only charged me the consultation fee which was lovely. He also replaced my oven light and cleaned part of the oven which I was not expecting at all.

The technician was very prompt and professional. He found the problem quickly and called around town for the necessary part to repair the washer. When most places told him the part would have to be ordered and overnighted to him, he kept calling until he found a place that had the part in stock. He then traveled approximately 20 miles roundtrip to retrieve the part. After he returned, I mentioned that after I washed items in the cold wash/cold rinse, the items seemed hot when I removed them. He checked and found that the hoses for the hot and cold water were in the wrong places. When he was finished, he called me over to show how the wash and rinse cycles now worked properly. I would definitely use their services again and also recommend them to anyone who needs their major appliances repaired.
Description of Work: Repaired clothes washer. Replaced main control so washer would run without stopping at beginning of wash and rinse cycles. Also fixed problem with washer's water temperature.

When I scheduled the appointment, I would think the receptionist might mention the $75 service fee and also explain that my particular brand was not one they were certified to repair. The outcome is me having to spend another $90 to have a certified GE repairman come out to take a look at the washer. I feel these things should have been discussed before the appointment was made.
Description of Work: Not much, told me he couldn't fix it and next time I should buy a different brand.

Response from A & R Appliance Repair Inc
We are sorry you were not pleased with our service. We make every effort to please our customers. Although our receptionist mentions the service charge as often as possible and we have not had this issue before, we will work on that. After discussing this call with our technician we realized that the frame to machine was bent from repeatedly overloading the washer, which was discussed, & was recommended to either lighten the loads or purchase a new machine. The technician demonstrated maximum load size. Again we are sorry you are not pleased with our service and if you wish to call us in the future we will be happy to help you.

The lady that I spoke on the phone with advised me that the type of repair that I needed wasn't cost effective and was one that all of their technicians would recommend not investing in due to the old age of my appliance. She saved me the cost of an unnecessary service call.

He was clean, polite and helpful. Great experience for someone with no knowledge of appliances because of his willingness to explain and show how things worked.
Description of Work: Daniel quickly assessed the situation and explained my washing machine's cold water function was not working due to my high water pressure, which shut off the hose's safety valve. He offered me options to replace the hose or flip it. We flipped it. He patiently adjusted the water flow to a sustainable setting. While here, he showed me how to remove and clean the burners on my gas stove.

A & R did an excellent job with the dryer repair, and I will be using them from now on for all appliance repairs. The dryer was making horrible screeching noises, and is now running more quietly than I have ever heard it. I had asked my mother to meet the technician at my house, and she said that he was very courteous and pleasant, arrived precisely when he said he would (with a call when he was on his way), and explained clearly the work he was doing and what the options were for repair. He replaced the front and rear drum bearing glides (installed new drum bearings), disabled the crazy-loud end-of-cycle buzzer (at my request, of course), and securely reconnected a dryer vent that had come undone when the last repairperson (who was not from A & R) did not properly clamp it. The repair comes with a 90-day warranty.
