We had a small fire on our dual fuel range. We had done a kitchen remodel and had put the stove on our porch during the remodel - seems a mouse had chewed on the wires during this time so when I spilled water on the range it caused a short that had flames shoot out of the handle that regulates the flame. I called Landers afer I had shopped newer rangers and couldn't find one with all the features ours had - They had a repairman there the next morning to access the damage - he provided us a cost and time to repair estimate and said the parts would be in within a week. 3 days later I got a call that the parts had arrived and they could do the repair that day. In addition to the repair caused by the fire I had them clean our 2 oven doors making our old range work and look like new completeing our remodeled kitchen!
Description of Work: Replaced the top burners on the gas range as well as the handles to regulate the flamecleaned the two oven doors removing 10 years of drips that existed between the glass doors

I have used them multiple times and am very happy with them. They are very responsive, very fast to get here, they called before they came and cleaned up after the job. It was just spotless. Very polite and very professional. He told me just what they were going to do and what it was going to cost. I couldn't of asked for anything more.
Description of Work: I use Landers Appliance for repair services. I last used them a year ago. The washing machine needed a lot of work done to it.

Our gas oven stopped heating, and through internet research we thought the ignitor had gone bad. My husband dismantled the bottom of the oven, but once he found the plug we realized it might be time to call a professional! We decided to try Lander's because they had good reviews and were available for service calls Saturday, albeit for a slightly higher service charge - worth it to us to not have to take off work. Technician was prompt, friendly, and professional. Repair only took about 30 minutes, and now the oven works fine. Price was a little higher than I was expecting, but cheaper than buying a new oven, and I have no complaints about the service.
Description of Work: Glow plug/ignitor in gas oven needed to be replaced - plug would glow, but amperage was not high enough to open the gas valve.

Technician prompt, knowledgeable, professional, honest with estimates and options. Checked with me before proceeding - got the OK to proceed with dryer fix and was fine with not proceeding with refrigerator fix.
Description of Work: Diagnosed and fixed electric dryer (Whirlpool, about 1994). Dryer running but not drying clothes. Problem was broken heating element, replaced and now functioning. Technician said that if it still takes long to dry (which it does), we would need to have the dryer vent snaked out. Havent done that yet.Diagnosed and provided estimate and repair options for refrigerator (Kitchenaid, 2008). Ice maker was working but not delivering ice through the door. Problem is the ice delivery motor is broken (I know when I broke it, my fault). I decided not to fix it now since its not worth close to $300 (parts & labor) just to not have to open the door to get the ice, though I'm missing the crushed ice. The water delivery is still fine.

Response from Landers Appliance Inc
Thanks for your thoughtful comments in assessing our company. I will share your sentiments with the staff at our next meeting! If your dryer still has an extended drying time please address the clogged vent issue as clogged vents are common causes of fires. Professional vent cleaning companies have the proper equipment to thoroughly clean the vent run and return the dryer to peak performance. Call me if you have any questions 410 682-3232 ext 101 surrounding this matter. I smiled when I read that you had put off making the repair to your ice maker dispenser. My wife and I have the same issue with our refrigerator and I have postponed fixing it because it is not a bother to us to open the door for ice. I have been subjected to teasing comments from family and friends who can't believe a man that owns an appliance repair company would not repair his own appliances. :>) Dean Landers, President Landers Appliance, Inc.

I called Landers about a leaking freezer after noon on a Friday. Less than two hours later, my freezer was fixed. I was really pleased that a) they were able to get there the same afternoon, which I certainly did not expect and b) that the technician not only fixed what turned out to be a simple problem but also showed me how to fix it myself in the future. While I shouldn't have to call again about a clogged freezer drain, I most certainly will call Landers again about any other appliance issues. Joe, the technician, was great.
Description of Work: I called Landers because my freezer was leaking water onto the floor. It turned out to be a simple problem - a clogged drain in the freezer. The tech cleared the drain, cleaned up the freezer and showed me how to fix the problem myself in the future. The technician was extremely polite and professional.

This was actually a success story in what did not happen. Our dishwasher was not draining, and we thought that the motor was burned out. The repairman actually showed us something we had never noticed before-- that there is a "drain" feature on our panel-- once he drained it, he determined that the motor was working properly and did not need repair or replacement. Whatever the issue may have been that led to the lack of drainage, it has not reappeared (we had tried it before calling him), and we were not charged for an unnecessary repair. It cost us only the charge for the service call. Thanks for your assistance, Landers!

This company charges a flat fee for a service call which is NOT applied to the repair. The fee is $80-something dollars, which I was willing to consider, except that even with this kind of fee they were quoting me a 5 hour window for the appointment. You have got to be kidding. There are plenty of other people out there who actually want and need the work. I will call one of them. P.S. this appliance was purchased through Landers, in 2005 so definitely not under warranty, but I had the model number, the Fault code, etc. So $84.95 to come out with a 5 hour arrival window to give me an estimate???
Description of Work: Called for repair on wall oven purchased through the service provider.

Dear Member, I called and left a voice mail for you on your home phone yesterday after reading your comments. I spoke to my staff and specifically Joann the customer service rep (CSR) that you spoke to. Our normal scheduling offer is either 9 am to 1 pm or 12 pm to 5 pm. Whenever a customer requests other options my CSR's are trained to work with a customer in order to provide a window of time that works including a phone call to meet 30 minutes in advance. We are happy to reduce the time frame and come up with another solution. I'm sorry you were unable to reach a workable solution with Joann in scheduling a service tech to come to your home to service your broken wall oven. If you ever find yourself frustrated for any reason with any of my staff please ask for either me, my service manager Jim or my office manager Mary. We will surely work it out. You also mentioned that the service charge is not applied to the repair. We always quote the service charge up front, which includes the trip to your house, the diagnosis of the broken appliance and quoting you the repair price, which would include any parts needed and the labor to install those parts before completing the repair. We do it this way because we think it is fair, honest and forthright. Any company that would suggest you will not pay a service charge if you make the repair is only shifting their service charge costs into the repair labor or the parts charge or both. They can't afford to do it any other way. Service companies have legitimate expenses they have to cover in order to remain in business that are included in the service charge. If they aren't collecting it in the service charge then they have to collect it someplace else. We do not operate that way. We choose to be as transparent as possible. We are here to serve our customers in every possible way. We talk about it regularly and try to model it daily. It is the fabric of our mission statement! I'm sorry we were not able to serve you with excellence and hope you will call me to discuss this matter more fully. Dean Landers, President 410 682-3232 ext 101 or DLanders@LandersAppliance.com

From my first contact, I was given expert and professional advice and guidance. Sales people were friendly and helpful. Chris and Shawn, who delivered and installed the appliances, had the very difficult job of getting the old appliances out and new appliances in on the second floor of a rowhouse. They were very good natured, friendly, professional and did a fantastic job with no damage to walls or woodwork. Also, my previous dryer was unvented and they found a way to vent this one to the outside. In addition to carrying top quality merchandise, Landers Appliance provides top notch service.
Description of Work: I purchased a washer and dryer. The appliances had to be of a particular size and type in order to fit into a built-in area.

Called Landers because of its high Angie's List ratings. They came out quickly and took care of the problem within an hour. The cost seemed about on par with what others charge, including the up-front fee for the service call. Very professional - would certainly use them again.
Description of Work: Needed someone to check out our Whirlpool dryer - it wasn't generating any heat. Turned out to be a burned-out heating element, which the Landers technician spotted and replaced in little time.

Andy is a treasure! He used to work for a large handyman service but started working for himself a couple of years ago. As someone who has a bit of woodworking experience, I can say that his work is excellent and his level of integrity and work ethic are consistently above reproach. He is honest and works quickly and is thorough and precise. He has very good taste as well, so I trust him to design things that I will like without having to oversee his work too much. He has a very wide skill set and can repair or build almost anything. My next projects for him are to repair some windows and help renovate my master bath.
Description of Work: Installed baseboards, grouted tile and performed various other small jobs around my home. I have also hired him in the past to do crown moulding and build and tile a fireplace surround.

They arrived when they said they would. Joe the repairman, was pleasant, knew the problem right away, ordered the parts, and if it hadn't been the weekend, I would have been doing laundry within 3 days. I actually thought it couldn't be repaired. We definitely saved some money on this one.

o pay for diagnosis before Scott the Howard County MD area repair person is outstanding. Good and quick analysis, and repair, after parts arrived. The Kitchen Aide dishwasher now performs better than new. Competent expert installation. Very quick and efficient. Complete clean up and thorough testing. I was amazed at Scott's skill level and knowledge.
Description of Work: Dish washer diagnosis and replacement of pump and motor. Do pay for diagnoses before any repair decisions. The outcome was better for me in my case. Do allow recommended parts to be bought and installed. I studied this problem on the internet for my dishwasher, and knew that the repair was beyond my capabilities. Landers parts were better than I could find on the internet.

Our washer died at a very inopportune time: during a load of heavy towels on the weekend! After having trouble finding home service companies in the past (we were new to Baltimore), we joined Angie's List and searched for appliance repair company. The top recommendation came in as Landers, I called them. They asked if they could come the next day, I said ABSOLUTELY!. The part was a common one that they had on the truck. They fixed it and we were back in business, we didn't even have to empty the blasted thing. Overall, we couldn't have been happier.

They are very, very good. It was an extremely good encounter. I called them on a Sunday and left a message. They called back first thing Monday morning and they had somebody out the following day. The gentleman was very neat, clean, pleasant and professional. He knew what he was doing. They were prompt. I liked everything. I would not hesitate to call them again for any job. They were excellent and the charge was reasonable. They were in and out rapidly. I would recommend them.

Very good experience from dispatcher, to technician to service manager. I got next day service, punctual arrival, thorough explanation of what he was doing (and what A&E should have done), advice on returning the part A&E had me buy and the satisfaction of finding the best appliance repair company.
Description of Work: We called Landers- after a disastrous experience with A&E Factory Service- because our built-in side by side Kitchen Aid refrigerator was not working- the freezer was but the refrigerator side was 60 degrees. Scott called ahead as promised, arrived within the time window promised- on the day after I called for service, removed a panel in the freezer, tested the heating loop, fan and thermostat. He found nothing wrong.
