530 I hired Michael B. Handyman to fix my five-year-old Bosch dishwasher. He was available quickly and offered a fair price, but when he arrived (after calling in late), he was rude and snapped at me as I explained the problem. After inspecting the dishwasher, he said a part needed to be ordered....
Michel B Handyman ServicesI bought my dishwasher from them. I got a service contract with them on this machine because all the reviews I read on dish washers were so awful. They did have to come out once already. It's a bit of a cadillac.
He directed me to a wonderful company who helped me select which one to buy, based on what I was used to and what features I liked. Mike, the owner of Convenient Appliance, picked up the new dishwasher at the store, arranged a discount and delivered it to my house. Mike is the answer to...

Within 5 minutes, he discovered that the spray arm for the upper rack was disconnected slightly from the water supply. He snapped it back into place and the dishwasher worked again. He explained that a...
A&E showed up on schedule. The service technician, Ray, seemed very knowledgeable about dishwashers and took the time to explain as he tested our dishwasher. He was not able to find any problem and (this is when things started going downhill) said we must be loading the dishwasher badly....

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.
In most cases, appliance warranties do not transfer to new owners. However, some exceptions apply. To check the status of your appliance warranty and whether you can transfer it when you move, review the terms and conditions of your warranties or consult your home warranty service. When purchasing a new appliance or one from a previous owner, be sure to pay attention to its warranty status, including the type of coverage and any exclusions.
Typically, most appliances last anywhere from 10 to 15 years, depending on the appliance, brand, and amount of use. Keeping a regular maintenance schedule, including cleaning and tune-ups, also helps appliances last longer. Dryers, gas stoves, and refrigerators tend to last the longest, averaging about 13 to 15 years. Microwaves and dishwashers tend to last about 10 years on average.
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.
The cost of home appliances ranges from $350 to $8,000 or more, depending on the brand, type of appliance, and features. Additional cost factors include any hookups that need to be installed, such as gas, plumbing, or electrical. Keep in mind that major appliances, such as refrigerators, washers and dryers, and water heaters, will cost more than minor appliances, such as microwaves, due to the size, complexity, and essential nature of the item.
