What should I ask a appliance repair pro?

Is the diagnostic fee credited toward the repair? What is the part, and what is the repair-versus-replace price? Do you carry the part or is this a second trip? Is the appliance in a tight closet, and do you pull it out? If you smell gas, the visit waits until the utility clears the line.

Should I repair or replace a fridge?

A fan or a thermostat is often worth repairing. A sealed-system leak on an older fridge can cost more than a new one. Ask for both numbers before you approve parts.

Appliance repair in New York City

A dead fridge, a washer that will not drain, or a dishwasher leak is usually a diagnostic plus one part. Ask for a repair-versus-replace number before you approve a sealed system.

Typical issues

A fridge that is warm with the lights on may be the condenser fan, the start device, or a sealed-system leak.
A washer that fills and will not drain is often the pump, the coin trap, or a kinked hose.
A dishwasher puddle is commonly the door gasket, the circulation pump, or a loose supply line.
A gas range that clicks and does not light may be the igniter. If you smell gas, leave and call the gas utility before a repair visit.
Write down the model number from the tag inside the door. Bids without a model are guesses.
