Kitchen appliance breakdowns we repair in Palatine
When a kitchen appliance quits, you need to know two things fast: what broke and whether it's worth fixing. Our technicians come to Palatine homes, diagnose the refrigerator, dishwasher, range or microwave, and give you a written quote for parts and labor before any repair starts.
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 →Refrigerator not cooling
A warm fridge with a cold freezer usually means an iced-up evaporator, a stopped fan or a defrost fault. Those are common, fixable repairs.
Refrigerator & Ice Maker Repair →Stove burner won't light
On electric stoves, a dead burner usually means a failed element or switch. On gas, the igniter or spark module.
Oven, Stove & Cooktop 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 →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.
Refrigerator & Ice Maker 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 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 Palatine homeowners

Power, water supply and controls. If those are fine, schedule a diagnosis.
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 you repair washers and dryers?
We focus on kitchen appliances. Ask us when you call about anything else.
Do you also install new appliances?
We do. Appliance installation has its own service page.
How much does appliance repair cost?
The part, labor and access set the price. We put it in writing first.
Can you do appliance repair in a Palatine condo?
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 Palatine?
