My refrigerator/Freezer had gone out and the fan was no longer circulating. I called that morning and the tech arrived on-site within 2 hours to repair and restore cooling to my fridge.
Description of Work: The tech removed the food from the freezer, identified the cause of the problem, a failed thermostat, and replaced the part in less than 1 hr total.

Great service will use again. Very professional, could not have been more timely all companies should take notice. The only thing in this day and age between companies is the service and this service was the best.
Description of Work: Called 6pm the night before and they said they would call between 7am - 7:30 am to make a appointment and at 7:15 am called said would be here in 30 mins. My refergirater had stopped working I had taken all the food out and was ready for when they got here. He had to replace the relay compresser. He said that I had a great unit that if he were to have to buy it is what he would buy which made me feel better. The relay compressers are a common issue. He had the part on the truck and was done and out of here by 7:53 am What a great way to start a Friday hope the rest of the weekend is as great as there service was.

Repaired the refrigerator in a very professional and timely fashion. I was very pleased with their service, courteousness and professionalisim. I would recommend them to anyone needing services they provide.

Dishwasher (Whirlpool) failed to drain so we called Carolina Appliance Service based on proximity and Angie's List ratings. Service Tech stated he was close by and arrived within 45 minutes. Tech's inspection revealed blown fuse within dishwasher. Tech replaced fuse (available on service truck) and returned dishwasher to service. Time on-site = 10 minutes. Service charge was a little high for time on-site but they were very quick to arrive, diagnose and repair. We would use them again.

I called on Monday and was told that a technician would call between 7:30 am and 8:30 am on Wednesday. At 7:35 am on Wednesday, I got a call from Billy, the tech, and he said he would be by the house between 8:15 am and 10:15 am. He arrived promptly at 8:15 am. He was very friendly, clean cut, and forthcoming on what was wrong with my refrigerator. He said it was an easy fix and within 10 minutes he had fixed it. The light bulbs were a bit harder to install but he did that also, taking care to put a towel on our glass topped stove so as to not scratch it. He filled out the invoice applying my Angie's List discount and was on his way. A pleasurable experience, except for the $114..... but even that was the lowest end of the estimate so that was a pleasant experience too.
Description of Work: My refrigerator was leaking water and I had a burned out high intensity bulb burned out on my over the range microwave. I had attempted to change the bulb myself but was unable to do so due to its location on the appliance. I wanted the leak fixed and the light bulbs replaced.

We have a bottom-freezer Kenmore Elite (LG). The refrigerator section stopped cooling. We called out Carolina Appliance to take a look. It took a couple of days (within a week) but they were pretty prompt. We have an outside fridge so it wasn't an emergency to fix this, just inconvenient. They got the fridge repaired. Very professional, very friendly. Coincidentally (??), after the fridge repair, water started leaking out of the bottom of the fridge. We went out of town for a week and didn't notice this before we left. Unfortunately, the water did some minor damage to the wood floor in our kitchen. But not a huge deal. We called them out when we got back and they were able to come take a look the same day. I asked if it could be related to the other repair but they said it wasn't. The drain line that drains water that is created during the defrost cycle somehow got clogged. the water froze in the drain pan and began leaking out onto the floor when the cycle would run. They cleared the ice and blew out the line. I had to pay another service charge. I would think they might waive that given the fact that they could have caused the clog, but they said it wasn't related. Also, the technician that came out didn't know how to remove the inside back panel of the freezer and had to call out another technician in the area. The other technician arrived fairly quickly. The technician was nice, but I noticed after he cleared that line and was about to leave, the Freezer Fan error message was on the fridge again. It stopped working. He reset it and it was fine, but, I think he should have checked everything before leaving. Also, I didn't notice until after he left that the ice maker wasn't working. So, I had to re-schedule to get him back to reconnect it. He was extremely prompt and accommodating in returning. In the end, everyone was nice, responsive, and professional. But I think the quality was a bit below par. I probably will call a different company next time.
Description of Work: Replaced the Freezer Fan that blows cold air from the freezer to cool the refrigerator. Cleaned out the drain line that drains water collected during the normal defrost cycle.

The service tech came to the house and was very rude and unprofessional because I questioned his quote. I had spoken with the owner of the company and told him exactly what the problem was and he gave me an idea of how much it might cost to fix. However, the tech came out with a much higher quote. When I asked him to call his owner, he refused. He then storned out of my house and refused to leave his estimate with me and said "You know how much it's gonna cost, BABE". I was shocked and called the owner, and he was begrudgingly apolegetic. He was actually pretty sympathetic towards his tech's behavior. I would never recommend this company to anyone.

Response from Carolina Appliance Service
We tried to help this customer but she want us to do a job that cost 450.00 for 300.00. The technician explained to her that we thought it was a different style of microwave and it was going to cost more to repair it. She wanted us to do it for 300 dollars. The technician explained to her that we would lose money. We could not do it. We gave her a free estimate we did not charge her. The customer is not telling the truth about our technician he has worked for us for 10 years and have never had a complaint. I apologized to her for giving her a rough estimate over the phone without seeing it. Our estimate was still 50.00 cheaper than the other estimate

I called to get an estimate for work and to schedule an appointment. Individual was not overly nice or helpful on the phone but the price was competitive and I scheduled an appointment to get the work done. Upon calling back to cancel the appointment (later the same day) individual was extremely rude and indicated that they "had already cancelled the appointment." Buyer beware.

Response from Carolina Appliance Service
The customer called to get help over the phone to put a gasket on a front load washer. This is very hard to do. It takes a qualified technician about 45 mins to put it on. You also have to make sure it does not leak. I told him it is not a job you want to do. When he called back I told him I would cancel it. How would I have known to cancel it before he called me? I figured he did not have the money to do the job and would call me back. I help 10 people a day over the phone and advertise this point. Why would I not try to help him. I am the only company in the area helping people over the phone! THIS IS A FREE SERVICE

The guy came within 30 minutes of my call. He did what needed to be done and told me I could call them back if I had any more problems because the service call was good for 30 days and I won?t have to pay anything else. The next morning, he called me to see if my ice maker was working; I?ve never had that good of service anywhere else before. He was prompt and he followed up; you just couldn?t ask for better service.
Description of Work: Carolina Appliance Service fixed the ice maker on my refrigerator.

It was going to cost more to fix my dryer than it was worth. He was upfront with me, we talked about it and he made some recommendations as far as brands go. I would have them come out again if I needed any large appliance repaired. It was a short visit but he was punctual and professional.

It took 3 trips ~ one to diagnose the problem, one to have the part ordered, bring it out and install it, and a recall to thaw the line since it wasn't thawing on its own. The three visits were fine as they were very agreeable to work with, and worked with MY time schedule. I was only charged for the initial visit. They charge a flat fee ($89) for the trip charge plus the parts they need. There are no other labor charges. We used them previously when our icemaker quit working.
Description of Work: The water dispenser was not working on our GE Profile refrigerator. They replaced the thermostat and thawed the water line.

Called on a Saturday as they are advertised as 24hr service. They returned my call sunday night and left a message saying to be available Monday morning to set time for repair. I was working so called at noon on Monday, set time for the next day and was available for them to come for a 7hr period. They called 1.5hrs later to say they were really booked and had to cancel my appt the following day. They said it would be several days till they were able to come and they'd call me when they could come over but i should expect it to be several days later.

The first time the guy was there within an hour of my call, did the work. The second time he was there later in the day. Both times went well and they saved me a service call when they were able to tell me how to fix another problem myself.
Description of Work: First call they changed out the electric cord on my dryer; it was 4 prong and the outlet in the house I moved to was 3. I had to call again in a couple of days when my icemaker was not working. They replaced the water valve on it.
