Kitchen appliance breakdowns we repair in Chicagoland
Most appliance breakdowns are one worn part, not a dead machine: a defrost heater, a drain pump, an oven igniter, a door switch. In Chicagoland we find that part, explain it in plain words and replace it, and if the repair doesn't make sense for the appliance's age, we say so.
Oven not heating
A cold oven is often a single part: an element, an igniter, a sensor or a fuse. We test each and replace the one that failed.
Oven, Stove & Cooktop Repair →Dishwasher not draining
Standing water after a cycle is the most common dishwasher call. The fix is often clearing a blockage or replacing the drain pump.
Dishwasher Repair →Microwave runs but won't heat
A microwave that hums and spins but leaves food cold usually has a failed diode, magnetron, capacitor or door switch.
Microwave Repair →Gas smell in the kitchen
Safety comes before repair: leave, call the utility or 911, and wait for them. Gas appliance repairs are done by our qualified technicians afterward.
Ice maker not making ice
Before replacing an ice maker, we check what feeds it: the household valve, the filter, the inlet valve and the freezer temperature.
Refrigerator & Ice Maker Repair →Freezer full of frost
Frost that keeps coming back is a parts problem, not a cleaning problem. We replace the failed defrost component.

Not every appliance is worth fixing. We tell you plainly when a repair makes sense and when your money is better spent on a new unit.

Repair or replace? Common questions
What is the 50/50 rule for appliances?
It's a starting point, not a law. We use it alongside what failed, parts availability and how the appliance is built in.
Do you fix refrigerant leaks?
Yes. Sealed-system and refrigerant work is done by EPA-certified technicians, and we talk through whether the repair is worth it first.
Do you also install new appliances?
Yes. If a repair doesn't make sense, our installation crews can connect and test the replacement and haul the old unit away.
How much does appliance repair cost?
The part, labor and access set the price. We put it in writing first.
What should I check before calling?
The breaker, the water valve, the filter, the settings and whether the door closes fully. Many no-start calls end there.
