Kitchen appliance breakdowns we repair in Glen Ellyn
Most appliance breakdowns are one worn part, not a dead machine: a defrost heater, a drain pump, an oven igniter, a door switch. In Glen Ellyn 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.
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
If the dishwasher leaves dirty water behind, we start with the filter and drain path and then test the pump.
Dishwasher Repair →Repair or replace?
We give you the diagnosis and the written quote, then an honest opinion. A common rule of thumb: if the repair costs more than half of a new unit and the appliance is well into its life, replacing usually wins.
Microwave sparking or dead display
Sparking, a dark display or a broken door handle are all repairs we handle on over-the-range and built-in units.
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.
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 →Oven not heating
If the oven won't heat but the cooktop works, the oven's own heating part or its controls are the likely cause.
