Kitchen appliance breakdowns we repair in Skokie
We repair refrigerators, ice makers, dishwashers, ovens, stoves, cooktops and microwaves for Skokie 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.
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 →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 →Dishwasher leaking
We take off the kick plate, run water and watch for the source, then fix the seal, valve or hose that's letting go.
Dishwasher 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 →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 →Freezer full of frost
Snow building up inside the freezer chokes the airflow to the fridge too. Fixing the defrost cycle solves both.

Kitchen Appliance Repair questions from Skokie homeowners
How much does appliance repair cost?
The part, labor and access set the price. We put it in writing first.
Can a handyman do appliance repair?
Simple fixes like a filter or a bulb, maybe. Diagnosis of electronics, refrigerant work, which requires EPA certification, and gas repairs need a trained technician.
Do you repair washers and dryers?
We focus on kitchen appliances. Ask us when you call about anything else.
Do you repair gas appliances?
Yes. If you ever smell gas, leave the house and call the utility or 911 first, then call us.
What should I check before calling?
The breaker, the water valve, the filter, the settings and whether the door closes fully. Many no-start calls end there.
Do I need a permit for appliance repair in Skokie?
It depends on the scope. Skokie's rule in short: Electrical work and plumbing or electrical system changes need a permit. We handle the permit when one is needed with Community Development Department - Building & Inspection Services Division.

Yes. Our crews work across Skokie — ZIP 60076, 60077, 60203 — and nearby Evanston, Park Ridge, Glenview.
