Kitchen appliance breakdowns we repair in Aurora
When a kitchen appliance quits, you need to know two things fast: what broke and whether it's worth fixing. Our technicians come to Aurora homes, diagnose the refrigerator, dishwasher, range or microwave, and give you a written quote for parts and labor before any repair starts.
Refrigerator not cooling
When the fresh-food side warms up, dusty condenser coils, a failed fan or the defrost system are the usual causes. We test them on the first visit.
Refrigerator & Ice Maker Repair →Stove burner won't light
Gas burners that click but don't light usually have a wet or dirty igniter or a cap out of place. If cleaning doesn't help, the spark module or switch needs replacing.
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 →Dishwasher leaking
A dishwasher leak can damage the floor and subfloor quickly. We trace the drip to the part and replace it.
Dishwasher Repair →Gas smell in the kitchen
If you smell gas, leave the house, don't touch switches and call the gas utility or 911 from outside. Call us for the appliance repair once it's safe.
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 →Freezer full of frost
Thick frost on the back wall of a frost-free freezer means the defrost system has failed. We find the heater, sensor or control at fault.

Kitchen Appliance Repair questions from Aurora homeowners
Do you repair washers and dryers?
This page covers kitchen appliances: refrigerators, dishwashers, ranges, ovens, cooktops and microwaves.
How much does appliance repair cost?
It depends on the appliance, the part and the time it takes. We charge for the diagnosis and give a written quote for parts and labor before repairing.
How quickly can you come out?
Timing depends on the day's schedule. We move leaks and warm refrigerators to the front.
What should I check before calling?
Check the simple things first: breaker, valve, filter and door. Then call us.
What is the 50/50 rule for appliances?
It's a rule of thumb: if the appliance is past half its expected life and the repair costs more than half the price of a new one, replacement usually makes more sense.
Do I need a permit for appliance repair in Aurora?
It depends on the scope. Aurora's rule in short: Interior remodels, structural changes and interior plumbing always need a permit; electrical/mechanical may. We handle the permit when one is needed with Division of Building and Permits, City of Aurora.
