He did arrive late, because he got hung up at the previous appointment. However, he did call to notify us that he would be late.
Description of Work: The service person replaced a belt on our dryer. He was very courteous and completed the job in the estimated time. I would use him again.

I called Ray's Appliance Repair and with-in an hour Scott arrived at my home.When I discribed the problem he determined it might be the door lock mechanism which he happened to have a replacement part. It turned out the main control board was the problem. He discribed the different options I had giving me the opportunity to make an informed decision. He ordered the part. As soon as he received the part I was notified and Scott was able to install the part with-in a day.I found Scott to be prompt and extremely professional.
Description of Work: A new main control board was installed in my front loading washing machine.

The $80.00 was for service fee to come out but he explained that replacing the snubber (located at the bottom of the tub) would cost us approx. $250.00 and we only paid $300.00 for the washer 8 years ago. He gave us advice on what to buy new and what to look for and what to check he also offered to check for us any washer we planned on getting by us just calling him and giving him the serial number and he would look up the pros and cons on that washer. He was great at talking it all over with us and being honest on just how much longer an 8 year old washer would last without yet another problem like our pump was starting to make noise too and that would be next to go down the road. I would recommend him to anyone as he is not pushing you to fix anything that he does not feel would last much longer anyway.
Description of Work: Inspected washer to find out what the problem was. Gave complete advice on what was wrong and the cost of fixing it. He then explained the worth of actually spending the money to fix an old machine.

Repairman answered right away. I explained the problem and what I'd done so far. He was very honest and said it is not worth repairing...spent several minutes telling me what to look for in my next dishwasher. I very much appreciated his honesty and guidance. I will definitely call again if any repairs are needed and would highly recommend them!

I described the problem (it pumped water out but did not move it around in the machine to clean) and the work that I had done taking the dishwasher apart - finding broken glass, putting it back together and it running a single cycle then it happening again. He said he thought that he knew what it was and came out a few days later. He took it apart as far as I had been able to and pronounced that I needed a new dishwasher. He said that he would look up the cost of a new motor assembly and call me back with the price in 2 days but never did so. I should have called Sears since they might have carried the motor assembly for the Kenmore dishwasher and fixed it. His price was OK - $100 with Angie's discount for 30 minutes of work. Only wish that he had called me back.
Description of Work: Tried to fix a dishwasher that would not clean the dishes. He took the washer apart (as far as I had been able to), said it was not what he had thought it was and pronounced that I needed a new dishwasher.

They came within 24hrs of the call. It went very well, I was still the guy who came out still had to charge the price for working on the dishwasher and was very apologetic for that but I was not complaining, I was just very happy to have it fixed.
Description of Work: The problem was my dishwasher was not draining. He started to take the dishwasher apart and he quickly realized the problem was actually the garbage disposal. My son forgot to take the plug out of the pipe when installing the new garbage disposal and that what was causing it to not work correctly.

I called for the repair and left a message. I received a call back within a half an hour. The repair man came the same day. I had him call me 15 minutes before his expected arrival time so I would be there to meet him. (I was at work) He called and I went to the house. He arrived within 5 minutes of my arrival. He was very professional and I would recommend this company highly. If I am in need of repairs in the future I would not hesitate to call them.

Scott responded promptly to my call about a leaking disposal and made an appointment for the following day. He warned me on the phone that the disposal might have to be replaced, but that he would be prepared to do that. Sure enough he had to replace the disposal, but also identified two more leaks under the sink and advised me to call a plumber for those. Scott comes when he says he's going to come, is competent, friendly, honest and wasn't at all bothered by our black lab who jumped on him and kissed him like crazy.

I was very pleased with the prompt, courteous and professional service that I received from Ray's Appliance Repair. I would definitely call the company again in the future.
Description of Work: I called Ray's Appliance Repair because my electric clothes dryer would not shut off automatically, nor would the timer control work. I had tried to call 2 other repair services that were closer geographically to my home. However, neither would service a Whirlpool dryer, even though it was not under warranty any longer. I had a quick call back after my initial phone call. I was able to describe the problem in some detail, and the repairman was able to make a diagnosis. He suggested that he order the part and then make the service call when the part came in. A few days later I received a call and was able to make an appointment and know the exact cost of the service. When the repairman arrived promptly at my home, he reconfirmed the problem and installed the needed part. The dryer has worked perfectly since. The cost was exactly what had been estimated.

I am a new subscriber to Angie's List and this is the first time I selected a company based on the list and the reviews. I could not be happier. I called this morning and they were here this afternoon to fix my refrigerator. I had tried Sears before, and they couldn't schedule an appt. for about a week. Scott was friendly, neat, professional and was able to explain the problem clearly. It simply couldn't have been easier. I am thrilled that I chose to fix my refrigerator rather than replace it at this time. I will certainly call Ray's again.
Description of Work: My refrigerator was not keeping food cold. I could tell that the cool air was not blowing very hard. The fan was heating up and not working efficiently. The fan was replaced and hopefully we are good to go.

Excellent experience. They returned my initial phone call promptly and called to confirm the appointment the day before the service. Day of service they arrived on time, were both very friendly. They removed the washer and dryer from the residence I was buying them from, brought them to my place and installed them. They had to force an old hose from the faucet but took it all in stride. Obviously knew their profession -- took care to balance and test both machines. Very polite and took pride in their work. Price included pick-up, delivery and installation.
Description of Work: Ray and his son Scott picked up a washer and dryer from one residence and delivered and installed them at my residence.

They were excellent and we got them through Angie’s List. They were on time, were reasonable and did the job in a timely manner. It was well executed and they were easy to deal with. They were nice guys and did the work that was needed. It was a real good experience.

Ray's is a fantastic company. Even though they are small, they managed to get back to me quickly and come out to fix our washing machine the very next day after we called. They arrived on time, explained the work that was being done, how we could prevent a recurrence of the problem, whether it was worthwhile to purchase a warranty for the appliance and other information pertinent to the proper maintenance of the product. The work was done thoroughly and quickly and with minimal interference in our daily regimen. The price was more than fair and, at the end of the job, they gave us a magnet with their phone number and other contact information, which we keep displayed prominently on our refrigerator. We will definitely be using Ray's again for all our appliance repair needs.
Description of Work: We had our high-efficiency washing machine repaired. Various articles of laundry had been sucked up between the washtubs.

They were excellent from beginning to end. They gave a great estimate and came out quickly (the next day, I think). The guy who came said he was pretty sure the fix would take care of the problem, but there might be one other problem as well. He told me what to watch for just in case and if it happened to call back within a month and they would only charge half price to fix it. He didn’t want to do it then in case that wasn’t the problem. I thought that was very fair of him. I was very very happy with this company and I have had no further problems

Scott was friendly & helpful. We scheduled his visit for as soon as possible (next day). He arrived on time, diagnosed & replaced a relay & overload on our freezer that was water damaged due to water in the cellar from the heavy rains. We thought we'd need a new freezer but his expertise saved us a bundle.

Refridgerator was periodically leaking water on the floor. After some research, I came to the conclusion that the evaporator drainage tube for the defroster was plugged. Too complicated for me to fix. Found Ray's Appliance Repair on Angie's List with excellent reviews. Scott (he said he was Ray's son) from Ray's Appliance called and we made an appointment for the next day. I had removed all the food from the freezer befroe the appointment. He was very courteous and prompt. He took the freezer apart and found that I was right. Fixed it quickly and put it back together. While he had it apart, he showed me where it was starting to develop rust on an intereior wall which he said is very premature for a three year old fridge. Scott also showed me where the filter for the closed system refridgerant was starting to corrode and explained to me that if the fridge stopped cooling it would be becaue the coolant had leaked out at this point. Told me that it should be covered under warrantee. I was very happy with his service and his attitude. The fridge is not leaking anymore.
Description of Work: Fixed fridge that was leaking water on the floor. Unplugged tube that drains the defrosted water from the freezer.
