Kitchen appliance breakdowns we repair in Evanston
We repair refrigerators, ice makers, dishwashers, ovens, stoves, cooktops and microwaves for Evanston households, on most major brands. Every job starts with a diagnosis visit; refrigerant work is done by EPA-certified technicians and gas work by qualified technicians.
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.
Oven, Stove & Cooktop Repair →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 →Dishwasher leaking
Water on the floor usually comes from a worn door gasket, a loose hose, a failing pump seal or a cracked spray arm.
Dishwasher Repair →Oven temperature off
An oven running hot or cold often has a temperature sensor that has drifted or a weakening heat source.
Oven, Stove & Cooktop Repair →Dishwasher not draining
If the dishwasher leaves dirty water behind, we start with the filter and drain path and then test the pump.
Dishwasher Repair →Dishwasher not cleaning
Dishes that come out dirty tell us water isn't reaching them with enough force or heat. We find out which part is responsible.
Dishwasher Repair →Microwave runs but won't heat
We test the heating circuit safely and tell you whether the repair is worth it for your type of microwave.

Kitchen Appliance Repair questions from Evanston homeowners
What should I check before calling?
Check the simple things first: breaker, valve, filter and door. Then call us.
How much does appliance repair cost?
A gasket and a control board are priced very differently. You get the number in writing once we know the cause.
Do you also install new appliances?
We do. Appliance installation has its own service page.
Is it worth repairing an appliance?
Often, yes. Many failures are a single part. It makes less sense when the appliance is old and the repair is a major one, and we'll tell you when that's the case.
Can a handyman do appliance repair?
For anything beyond basic maintenance, an appliance technician is the safer choice, especially for gas, sealed systems and microwaves.
Do Evanston condo associations need to approve appliance repair?
Associations usually set rules for work hours, elevators, deliveries and insurance, and many require approval for plumbing, electrical or structural changes. We provide the certificate of insurance and follow the building's rules.
Do I need a permit for appliance repair in Evanston?
It depends on the scope. Evanston's rule in short: Residential permit applications go through the Citizen Portal; City worksheets signed by the contractors are required for any electrical, plumbing or HVAC work. We handle the permit when one is needed with Community Development Department, Building & Development Services (Building & Inspection Services).
Do you work in my part of Evanston?
Yes. Our crews work across Evanston — ZIP 60201, 60202, 60208 — and nearby Skokie, Glenview, Park Ridge.
