Freezer full of frost
Frost that keeps coming back is a parts problem, not a cleaning problem. We replace the failed defrost component.
Refrigerator & Ice Maker 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.
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 →Repair or replace?
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.
Stove burner won't light
A burner that won't catch after a spill is common. We clean and test it, then replace the igniter or switch if needed.

We do. Gas valve and igniter work is done by qualified technicians.
