"I called this Co to schedule an appointment, for my frig that wasnt making ice or refilling the water pitcher, and they could come out the next morning for a service call of 99.00 so I hired them. The technician was very knowledgeable no diagnosis was done, he found the issue, which was such a simple fix, never asked me if i wanted to go ahead with a repair, as there was no diagnostic done, to offer me the repair, he just went ahead and cleaned out the sensor for the Water pitcher, and it worked. Then he told me i owed him 295.00, i was a bit confused, he said there is a minimum labor charge of 295.00, i was never told that nor was I offered a repair for that amount of money, bait and switch... be aware of this Company, they don't tell you on the phone about the minimum labor fee!!!! They said i was offered a repair after the diagnosis, and I was never offered anything, If i had known that this minor leak would have cost 295.00 i never would have hired them. All the was done, nothing"

FAQs for small appliance repair projects in Orinda, CA
A local small appliance repair company or technician is your best bet if you’re looking for someone to service a small appliance. Homeowners more often look for major appliance repair specialists, meaning the demand is higher, as is the number of companies that handle the repairs. If you’re looking to repair a toaster, microwave, blender, or other small appliance, you should hire a technician that specializes in small appliances.
The answer to repairing vs. replacing appliances depends on the type of appliance, the severity of the issue or damage, and the quality of it. If you’ve purchased a top-of-the-line small appliance, it’s almost always more cost-effective to repair it than to replace it. You should also consider the cost to repair it, though. If the repair cost is more than half the cost of a new version, lean toward purchasing a new one. Your small appliance technician could also help you decide by determining the expected remaining lifespan after the repair.
Small appliance repair costs average around $50 to $400, with costs ranging significantly based on the type of appliance, the extent of the damage, the issue, the appliance brand, and the availability of replacement parts. Generally speaking, you’ll pay less for repairs on very small appliances, like blenders and toasters, than you will for microwave repairs. We recommend consulting a small appliance repair technician for a quote before starting the project.
On average, it will take a professional repair technician around one hour to complete the necessary repairs on your small appliances. However, the process could take anywhere from 15 minutes to three hours, depending on the extent of the damage and the specific appliance. For example, removing a built-in microwave will usually take longer than fixing a countertop toaster, as accessing the unit takes more time. Some repair technicians will take the appliance to a shop for repair, but you should plan to be home for a few hours in case they work on-site.
Small appliances typically include microwaves, toasters, toaster ovens, food processors, blenders, mixers, slow cookers, air fryers, coffee makers, rice cookers, and any other appliance that can sit on your countertop. Major appliances include refrigerators, dishwashers, ovens, cooktops, washers, and dryers. Some people may include HVAC equipment like condensers and air handlers in this category, too. Small appliances are more of a specialty, so there’s a good chance a typical appliance repair company won’t be able to service and repair small appliances.
