We hadn't bought the extended warranty, they weren't willing to do anything for us. It was quite expensive, it didn't go well. The warranty was for a year but it expired. They fix what they could fix but they didn't want to do everything, I think it didn't took long to get an appointment with them, they were all pretty quickly.
Description of Work: I think we did use them to come out to work on a refrigerator, on our refrigerator and let them go as well.

Sorry to say [member name removed], but our records show we worked on your washer awhile back. You had someone else come to work on your refrigerator and provided a review to the Angie's List Telemarketer incorrectly. In any case, we're happy to help in the future.

This company was super responsive. My oven broke Thursday night. I called at 8:30am on Friday morning and he fit me into their schedule. A service man was there to fix the problem at 10:30am. He was kind and professional. He also covered his shoes with floor booties before I even asked him. He changed the sensor in the oven and left no mess behind. Happy with the job.
Description of Work: Changed the oven temperature sensor on my Frigidaire oven. When I went to turn on my oven, there was an error code and the oven would not even start.

Stop! Look no further! Excellent experience from start to finish. I called because my refrigerator was leaking water and whilewe were standing at the counter paying and completing the receipt, the technician stopped suddenly and said that he could hear that my refrigerator didn't sound right, the relay was clicking, but the compressor wasn't starting. Turned out the relay was burned out so we got that fixed too. Saved me from a new compressor and a refrigerator full of spoiled food. I had noticed that clicking prior to his arrival and just ignored it. Highly recommend!
Description of Work: Replaced the o-ring that connected the water line to the refrigerator and the relay for the compressor.

These guys were great. I called with the concern that our freezer wasn't as cold as it should be. The technician was actually able to squeeze us in and was at our house within the hour. He immediately knew what the problem was; the coils were frozen. He had them defrosted and working again in just over an hour. I couldn't be happier with how well this turned out.

Easy to get a hold of, came on time, removed shoes and wore slippers (much appreciated), friendly, and honored Angies list coupon.
Description of Work: Called provider to come check on clicking noise in dryer. He knew immediately upon listening it was not the bearing but something stuck outside the drum. (It was a zipper pull.) While he was there he did pull out the whole drum which allowed me to do a good cleaning. Spent some time teaching me how to open up the machine myself; changed lightbulb for me. Also replaced something on the comment "it will make your machine last another 10 years."

Great. They were able to get out the same day I called. I thought something was wrong with the washing machine, but it was the drain line to the washing machine. Aaron, the service provider, asked me if I wanted him to show me how to fix it myself in the future. I did and he showed me how to do it so i could save money in the future. It didn't take long at all to fix.
Description of Work: Unclogged the cold water drain line to the washing machine.

Went great. Aaron was very helpful and taught me how to take care of the problem next time.
Description of Work: Our dishwasher wouldn't drain. We tried cleaning the filters in the dishwasher, but it still wouldn't drain. Aaron showed me 2 other spots to check if this problem happens again, so we wouldn't't have to call them again for service. The fix was simple, and we will be able to do this on our own next time.

I called the provider to come check out why my dryer was no longer drying the clothes. I urgently pleaded with him to come the day I called due to my needing my dryer to work. My daughters had a soccer tournament & I was suppose to wash the team's uniforms. He came that day but determined more work was needed than time would allowed and he set a time for early the next week. He came the next week and put in the vent and now everything is working perfectly.
Description of Work: Put in a new dryer vent plumbing to the outside and sealed the previous venting.

I noticed that the fridge had a strange, electrical burning smell coming from it. I called Champion about 11AM, talked to Jeff, and scheduled an appointment window that day for 2-5PM. I called my wife to make sure that she could get off work early to be here, as I had a previously scheduled appointment. She took off the rest of the day, and I called Champion back and talked to someone else, and re-confirmed that we would be home the rest of the day, and she re-confirmed the 2-5PM appt. Long story short, 5PM came and went and no one showed up, no one called, and no voicemails that I left were ever returned. I called another repair man the next morning, he knew exactly what it was, came by with the correct parts and had it repaired in about 30". These guys have good reviews, but to be completely stood up like this is ridiculous, and to not even have the courtesy to call and cancel or explain why no one showed up is beyond me.
Description of Work: He was supposed to come and look at/fix a malfunctioning freezer.

Amazed and very pleased! A chipmunk fell down the dryer vent and died. Called to get it removed and cleaned out.. Got a call back from Jeff in 10minutes. He was at the house within a half hour. We chose to replace the vent as it was not in good shape. Repair took about an hour. We now have a "proper" safe dryer vent and no smelly rodent. It doesn't get much better than this. Would definitely recommend!
Description of Work: Removed smelly rodent and replaced entire dryer vent and outdoor vent housing cover.

He was timely and knew what he was doing. He was very careful not to damage our wood flooring when moving the refrigerator. The same plastic line the broke the first time broke again about three weeks later and they came back and fixed it again free of charge. Very good service.

The technician examined the microwave and determined that it needed to have a new heating element installed. He removed the microwave since the heating unit needed to be removed and replaced at the shop. We were told this repair would take two weeks. Technician was curteous ,efficient and seemed knowledgeable. The unit was returned and installed back in my kitchen a lost 2 weeks to the day. Overall experience was very good. Would use them again.

I called Appliance Care on a Monday. After explaining my problem with my clothes dryer clunking, the person determined that I was not in a great big hurry, and we scheduled an appointment for that Thursday at 8 A.M., which was my preference. She asked me for the brand and model number of my dryer, and told me where to find it on the machine, so that the repairman would be sure to have the most common parts for that brand at the time of his visit. On Thursday the phone rang at 7:55 - the repairman said he was in my driveway, and apologized for being early. He went down to look at the dryer, and knew the drum roller was shot as soon as he turned the dryer on. He took it apart and fixed it within an hour, as well as checking the dryer vent for clogs and making sure the clothes washer was level, at my request. He gave me the bill and requested payment right away to cut down on paperwork. He gave me the Angie's list coupon discount upon request. I paid him and he was on his way. He was pleasant and professional in demeanor. I would use them again.

Repairman came when he said he would. Was very clean and courteous. Dryer repair was very efficient. Refrigerator repair not as much so. Kept trying different solutions which were unsuccessful. Final conclusion was a leaking compressor which needed to be replaced. $1,000+ estimate so instead purchased a new refrigerator.
Description of Work: Repaired dryer. Replaced gasket. Connected exhaust vent. Tried very hard to repair refrigerator. Gave up because replacement part prohibitively expensive.

Overall it went great, with a couple of hiccups that are expected when dealing with a 100 year old building. The project took almost twice as long thanks to our quirky building. The employees handled it all well and did a great job with the installation/problem solving. We are waiting for a vent cover to be attached because the vent was installed when it was still snowy and icy out (too dangerous to be on a ladder up three and a half stories). I assume they are coming soon to attach the cover. Their services are great and fairly priced.
Description of Work: They installed venting for an electric dryer in a third floor condo by sending it from the laundry closet, through the top of the guest room closet and out the side of the building. Also, they installed a lint detector in the vent and a water leak detector under the washing machine.

All work done very well. Happy with that. The next day I went I line and found that the timer cost about $50 and it took less than an hour to fix, so thought $250 was a little high for that. The extra work we had done was worth the price. Talked to another repairman the other day and he said $250 was about normal so I felt better about the charge. Still seems high but guess that's what we have to pay.
Description of Work: Replaced timer on Kenmore dryer. Suggested we replace plastic venting with aluminum and make some changes with outside vent. We agreed to have this done.

Response from Champion Appliance Care
Hi [member name removed], Thanks so much for your kind words about the quality of our work. I see we rated an A in all categories except price. You mentioned being able to find cheaper parts prices online. The reason we don't buy those same parts any longer is that we have found many to have a much higher failure rate. We prefer factory authorized parts which are backed with a 90 day part guaranty. They do cost more, but are worth it. I also wanted to clarify that the two additional parts you reference in your review are $39.00 & 59.00 respectively. So yes, we charged 300.00 plus tax for: 1) diagnosis, 3) the 3 parts- including the timer, and 3) the labor for the replacement of all. I hope this provides a better picture of the breakdown of the products and services we provided. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to call. Thanks again for your kind review. Jeff

Refrigerator repair was done easily and finished quickly. Dryer - The part the technician tried to install was defective. Returned in a couple of days with a working part. Left the dryer open during this time, which was unsightly and unsafe for kids. He later explained that he did so that I could vacuum and clean the inside, but I didn't get that message. They get a B for that reason.

Hi (deleted member name), Thank you for your A rating on our professionalism. We were able to get fully compensated for the brand new motor that was defective! Defective factory parts that is rare, but do occur. It happens much more with online parts suppliers which is why we avoid them. After speaking with our licensed technician who performed the work in your home, I was able to confirm that since you had left for work he left word with your housekeeper/nanny regarding further instructions for you. I apologize that those instructions were not relayed to you personally. I brought your situation up at our next staff meeting and can confirm that all communications will now be done with the homeowners only. Thank you again for your review and bringing these things to my attention. It has made us a better company. Jeff

Fantastic experience with this company!! They were able to fit my in the same day I called, and were prompt. I called to have my dryer vent cleaned, but they are also an appliance repair company (C.AR.E.) and were able to determine that I needed to replace a small part, as well; they had the needed piece with them and quickly made the repair. The bill was actually a bit lower than expected (they had given an estimated price range over the phone). GREAT service, and fast! I'm so glad to know they work on large appliances, as mine are all in the "going soon" age range!
Description of Work: This company is also called Appliance C.A.R.E. They not only cleaned our long dryer vent, but also the inside of the dryer. They also replaced a part, and had me back in working order in less than an hour.
