Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about booking appliance service? Here are our most frequently asked questions.
If you can’t find the answer to your question, you can contact us here.
A. Before we start any repair our technicians must obtain approval from the responsible party. Additionally, in today’s world, our technicians are not permitted to enter a home with only minor children in attendance.
A. Absolutely not!
A. We like to give all the time you deserve to diagnose the problem with your appliance properly. In order to do this, we must give you a “window” because we don’t know how long the appointment before yours will take. We hate to give you a specific time and then not be able to honor our commitment.
A. During the initial phone contact with the customer, we will try to gather all the information we can in order to obtain the parts necessary for the repairs. It’s impossible to stock every item on the vehicle and if we need to order a part, another trip charge is not applied for a return visit to install the part(s).
A. We do require the trip/diagnosis fee be paid for parts to be ordered. If the part is a special factory order, typically those parts cannot be returned, so the customer will need to pre-pay for the parts & trip charge.
A. It is very possible that you are using more detergent than is necessary for the load size you are washing. Double check the detergent instructions to ensure you are using the correct amount. Also if you have soft water even the recommended amount is too much.
A. Not very often, but often enough, a part is delivered (either to you or us) and although brand-new, it is defective. If we supply the part (which is approximately the same amount of money as you would pay) if it doesn’t work we are responsible for replacing that part with one that does work. If we install your part, we have done our job and if it doesn’t work we still require payment.
A. That is a fair question, and the reason seems to escape most people. If you dismantle anything on your appliance and then find that you need professional help, we would have to put the appliance back together in order to diagnose the exact symptoms properly. Even if you put your own appliance back together, the technician has no road map in his mind of just how the appliance was put back together, and you could have done it incorrectly. This leads to a large amount of time to second-guess what is causing the problem and a larger bill for our customers because we end up doing twice the work.
