They came to fix a Kitchenaid refrigerator that had ice accumulating in the refrigerator section(not the freezer). There was a section that was a solid frosty line of ice across the entire back wall inside it. After taking parts off I was told it needed a defroster fan. Waited for them to get the part in and set up a return visit to replace it and assured all was fine and I paid my bill. Within a week a similar issue happened. Instead of the ice going completely across it this time it only went half way across. I called and left a message(usually no one answers so that's how it's done). When he came back and looked he pointed out that since the ice only went half way across there is a leak in the refrigerant line on the section that is not frosting/icing up. He said I need a new fridge. This is a $4,000 5 year old fridge. I said it seems like the leak is exactly on the coils you worked on to remove ice, plus I paid you for a part and repair and it still has the same issue. He packed up his stuff and said he'd have the boss call me. No one ever called me. So, I paid hundreds of dollars for a repair that only made thing worse. When that happens and they don't even give you a call it's like take the money a run.

Came as scheduled on Thursday, May 14, needed to order parts, said it would be faster if I ordered the parts, suggested a place tonget them said they were the best and what he really liked was if need be they took back parts for up to year, and if you put in their replacement parts and decided to get a new dishwasher within a year of purchase they’d still take them back. Overnighted parts he requested for Friday, he came back Saturday, the parts did not solve the issue. Said he needed to call Bosch on Monday am and vet to the bottom of this. Never heard from him again. After almost a month with no dishwasher it took a Certified Bosch repairman to fix. Turns out we had the wrong parts. Bosch covered parts but still had to pay another fee for the first visit from the second repair company and then labor for the second visit with correct parts. Oh and those wrong parts affordable had me order, the company won’t take them back because affordable “installed” them. After almost 3 weeks of not hearing back from affordable I left a message saying thanks for leaving me hanging for almost 3 weeks. Not even a call back on that. Thankfully I now have a new repair company should I need a repair.

When the serviceman came and checked the dishwasher it worked fine; beacuse the weather had IMPROVED and the frozen discharge pipe of the dishwasher thawed by the time he came after 2 days. So no repair was needed, and we paid the bill for his visit to the house.

Each installation had its own complications, but these gentlemen solved each and every problem. The work looks great and everything works well. We would call them again. They are prompt, neat, and pleasant to have around. They are busy, and they deserve to be. They will make and keep their appointment with you.
Description of Work: We have had a double oven, a dishwasher, an over the counter microwave, an exhaust fan, and a dryer vent installed over the past 15 months. These are upgrade and replacement appliances in an existing kitchen.

Excellent. The problem with the fridge was unusual, but the tech quickly isolated to a failed component in the ice maker. He set it manually to provide better cooling until the replacement part arrived. He always responded to our calls and let us know when he would be on hand..

I used this company twice before and was extremely happy with their same day service and professionalism, but things have changed drastically. This time my phone call was not returned for four hours on a regular work day, and then only to be told that they are too busy to service my area (Saugerties, NY) and I should better go somewhere else. I will do that indeed. This is a perfect example of how a company drops its customers and level of service once they become too successful.

When I contacted the company I had a great contact with the woman who was taking the calls. The owner was quick to respond to my message and we talked about our problem. We set up a day and time and they arrived within the time slot. The technician was helpful, willing to explain the problem and suggested a couple of option that we could take. After we decided on what to do, they came back and fixed the issue and all is well.

John Horton is a consummate professional, and not only knows his repairs cold, but will give you an honest sense of when it's time to move on. In fact, honest is the best way to characterize this man and his associates. Go to Sears: you'll get a bit of a better price for your range, but you'll find someone who has NO CLUE how a range works and probably knows less than you do. Ditto for Home Depot, or Best Buy, or any of the other big box stores. You get what you pay for: and here you'll get good advice, solid advice based on years of repairing real machines. We've been customers for years and I'd recommend them in a heartbeat.
Description of Work: He sold us a new fridge and range after determining that those we had were something like 35 years old and failing...it was time.

Called Affordable Appliance on Monday because the dishwasher was leaking badly. John called back Monday night and promised to come check it out on Tuesday. He was punctual on Tuesday and determined that the tub itself had developed a small hole where there were burn marks from a long-ago stirring spoon meltdown. He offered to order a new dishwasher for us, recommending a specific model number which we could look up online. On Thursday he was back with the new dishwasher and installed it. He took the old dishwasher along when he left. The kitchen was left just as clean as when John and Chuck had arrived. The only stress in this whole experience was dealing with the water when the leak was first discovered--once John showed up, it was a cakewalk. His service was fantastic and saved us a lot of time and worry.

Was available within 24 hours (important with a freezer and hundreds of dollars of frozen food at stake). Came out on time, tested electrical connections, found the part that wasn't working. Took out the circuit board, cleaned it, reseated it and the freezer started working again. Made me understand that this may only work until it warms up again, but since it is a freezer and the part will have to be ordered, having it run for just a few hours while I make the decision of whether to replace the circuit board is helpful. Both times I've used this service, I was given a range of options on how to proceed, from less expensive to more expensive.....

We left a message with answering service and he returned call within two hours. He was available to do the repair a week later. He called the night before to give us a two hour arrival-time window and arrived within that time. He diagnosed the motherboard problem quickly; this problem has been well documented on online discussion boards. He carries the motherboard part for the GE fridge with him in his truck, which meant that he could do the job all in one visit. He indicated though that if he had to return because he didn't have the part, he would not charge a second visit fee. He had a long list of customers on a sheet of paper and crossed the names off as he completed the work. He was efficient and personable and knowledeable about issues with high-end appliances. He charged 155 for the motherboard, 75 for labor and 60 for a service call for a total of $290 + tax.
Description of Work: Replaced motherboard in a 7-year old GE Profile side-side side refrigerator. The motherboard is at the outside back of the fridge.

We were extremely pleased with this company. We got their name as a referral from folks who also were very happy with the service and would use them again.
Description of Work: Due to energy surge, the Kenmore refrigerator blew out the computer board. They came, looked and ordered the part overnight. When the part arrived, the technician came at 6:30 PM on a Saturday to repair the fridge. They were prompt, clean, returned phone calls. They followed up to check on the service. What more could you ask? A week later the dishwasher went kaput. We called, they came the same day and fixed that as well. Couldn't be happier.
