After providing my credit card number, I hung up. It then occurred to me that I did not know the exact name of the company so I called back to speak with Teresa. I was concerned that I provided my credit card number to an unknown company. The man answering said that she would call me back. After 30 min, I called again - she was not available so I asked to speak with a supervisor. After many questions on my part I finally determined that I was calling a 1-800 service that hired local contractors. I asked who that local contractor was, name an phone number. I received Abrey name and number. I called him and he said that he could not make 9am but could do 1pm. I asked what company and he said he was an independent contractor. The next day at 1:30 I called him, he said his truck's water pump had broken and he would be coming in his personal car. He arrived at 2:30 with another person in a separate car. They spend 45 minutes to determine that it was a broken regulator switch which they did not have the part and would return tomorrow. At this point I asked about the charge and was told he had a flat $150 charge, plus parts. I said that I understood the $55 fee would be applied to that. He said no, that was a separate arrangement. We argued and I finally said okay, with a plan to call "Bethesda Maytag Repair" for my $55 back. Abrey said he'd be back at 9am the following day. Noone came at 9am so at 9:30, I began to call. I was told that the parts store didn't open until 9am etc and then he promised he'd be there by 10:30. At 11:15 they arrived. The dryer was fixed and I paid him $200. Total cost: $255 (Part $50). Total time cost for me - 1.5 business days, without counting all the phone calls. Next time, I am calling Sears. I am unimpressed with Angies list referrals. While the contractor did the job and was polite, there clearly was a bate and switch on the fees with this system. At least with Sears, you get responsiveness and up front truthful estimates and prompt service. Here is their posting: Bethesda Maytag Repair Is this your business?

FAQs for appliance repair projects in Lewes, DE
If your refrigerator needs to be repaired, contact an appliance repair company to diagnose the issue and repair your refrigerator. It’s okay to leave it plugged in and running, but unplug it if it makes unusual noises.
Signs that your refrigerator may need repairs include:
Food items are not being held at the correct temperature (between 35 and 38 degrees Fahrenheit)
The fridge is using too much energy and seems to run all the time
Loud and/or unusual noises
Possible causes include:
A damaged door
Faulty condenser coil
Malfunctioning control board
Contacting an appliance repair professional as soon as possible can help save items in your fridge from spoiling. Common fridge repairs include the compressor, control board, thermostat, defrost motor, coils, and ice maker.
If you’re having problems with your dryer, contact an appliance repair professional as soon as possible to inspect and repair it. Having a faulty dryer can be a major inconvenience in the home.
Your dryer may need repairs if:
It isn’t turning on
It’s not releasing enough heat
The drum doesn’t spin
Common repairs include:
A damaged or worn-out belt or
Damaged or shorted electrical wiring
A control board malfunction
Dryers tend to overheat or become short-circuited over time, especially after heavy use. Other common dryer repairs include door switches, timers, and control boards.
If the unit is not under warranty, then you may want to call a reliable appliance repair technician to diagnose the issue and recommend a repair. Some of the most common washing machine issues are inadequate water supply to the unit, poor drainage due to clogging, leaks, and excessive vibration while washing. Like ovens, the cost to repair a washing machine will vary widely depending on which issue you’re experiencing.
The average cost to repair an appliance depends on the appliance, make, model, the part that needs repair, and how long it takes to replace or repair a part. The following are the average repair costs for the most common appliances:
Refrigerator: $200–$300
Freezer: $90–$500
Oven, cooktop, range: $100–$500
Microwave: $50–$400
Dishwasher: $160–$300
Garbage disposal: $70–$250
Washing machine: $50–$450
Dryer: $100–$400
Appliance repair contractors may charge $40 to $120 per hour for labor, and most also provide the replacement parts necessary at an additional cost. It’s also important to note that these prices can go up on holidays and emergency fees may apply if you need your appliance fixed immediately.
It's good to contact the manufacturer first to see if any warranties still exist, and if they have any specific repair persons they recommend. Some specialty units or smart units may require the assistance of a manufacturer-approved technician. Oven issues can be more challenging to diagnose than other appliances in the home because many of the parts are difficult to access for inspection or replacement. Some common oven repairs involve replacing damaged burners, heating coils, or electric cables. Purchasing additional parts, such as a new heating coil may also increase the total repair cost.
