Without trying to re-set the drum, Sam insisted that once the drum had come out of the slots where the shocks sit, the transmission could be bad, it could cost as much as $500 to repair, between parts and labor. He recommended purchasing another stack set. He even recommended purchasing a used set, which was a great idea. However, I then had to spend over half a day driving to used appliance stores. I eventually went to Yes We Can Appliances in Maryland. I explained the problem to the attendant. I told him the model, age, etc., the same information I gave to Sam. The Yes We Can attendant was confident it could be repaired and so I took a chance and had one of their repairmen come out the next afternoon, actually a Saturday. He repaired it in about 7 minutes. It works better than ever. He also explained that if it happened again, how I could in all likelihood re-set the drum myself. I spoke this morning to a person at Appliance Repair Leaders and explained the issue. He was also polite and professional. I repeated that I'm sure the repairman's heart was in the right place, etc. Nonetheless, his misdiagnosis cost me $60 and half a day of unnecessary travel to find a replacement that I never needed. The person assured me that this is not how they do business, etc., but he did not offer to reimburse me for the unnecessary cost, credit for another serivce call, zip. I will not recommend Appliance Repair Leaders. I highly recommend Yes We Can Appliances in Maryland.

My wife and I shopped around almost everywhere before coming back to Mike Zanville at Carpet and Vacuum Expo. We've had Home Depot and Lowes carpet before with terrible results. First, the quality of the carpet they sell is about as basic as you can get and does not hold up well--even the so-called premium carpets. Secondly, the installers they use could care less about doing professional work. They want to get in and out of a job. Carpet and Vacuum Expo was the exact opposite of our previous experiences with the big box stores. There were so many nice carpets to choose from that we had a hard time deciding (Mike let us take 12 or so samples home). We settled on Masland which we found to be one of the best quality carpets we've ever seen. In addition, Mike had some beautiful wool runners and helped us match up some colors and choices. Mike was extremely patient with us and never rushed the sale. His installers did an excellent job and Mike didn't take the full payment until he was sure we were 100% satisfied (he made a point of checking in with us many times to be sure we were happy). It's refreshing to work with someone that is a professional when making an important purchase. As a real estate agent, I have a list of preferred vendors I recommend to my clients and Carpet and Vacuum Expo is now at the top of my list."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/md/olney/carpet-and-vacuum-expo-reviews-213690.htm"},"position":7},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"A Weinstein Inc","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"MD","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"ELIZABETH O."},"reviewBody":"I got back from a 2-week vacation last night to find an awful smell and everything in my side-by-side Kenmore fridge/freezer spoiled.

Kenmore Vacuum Repair reviews from real Angi homeowners in Kemp Mill, MD
It was pretty good. The only problem we have here in this household is, we have two dogs living here. The cleaning services that have shown up - I think we've tried two now - they just don't have adequate vacuum. We use a Dyson here. So, nobody, unless they show up with that kind of...

Repairman, Sam, was very professional and courteous. He called my cell so that I did not have to wait at my house on Capitol Hill for entire 2-hour period. The problem was a 3-year old washer/dryer stack set in a tenant's basement apartment. The washer drum had come out of the slots where...

I've been doing appliance repair for 13yrs. Working for some of the top rated Appliance companies in the are. Like TRU, Atech and Mr. Appliance of Howard County. While helping them establish and earn. Their respective, high customer service ratings. I am an authorized servicer for Viking, Samsung and Dacor. If you want an honest and accurate assessment of your Appliance. Acute Appliance is for you.
"After 6 months of usage, our clothes washer needed to be releveled to eliminate banging in the spin cycle. Bill arrived within 2 hours of my posting my request on Angi and took less than a half hour to totally fix my problem. On his way out the door, I casually asked him about an electrical issue I was having with my stove hood and he quickly identified the issue there also and, with my app, ordered a bulb receptacle and scheduled to return next week to repair my second and different kind of problem. I found Bill to be very personable, knowledgeable, and effectice, and who showed up and started solving my problems."

"Mike came to Annapolis yesterday to repair my central vac. Showed him the unit and then went inside for a short while and then asked him if he carried parts on what appeared to be a well-equipped truck. He said the motor wasn't on the truck; it was already installed. I was amazed. He was punctual, smart. fast and efficient and helped me use the warranty. Couldn't be happier with the service and expertise. Highly recommend."

FAQs for kenmore vacuum repair projects in Kemp Mill, MD
Common repairs for central vacuum cleaners include motor repair, electrical repair, and blocked filters. Central vacuum motor issues typically come with a burning smell and loss of suction. With these issues, you might need simple lubrication to keep it running smoothly, or for more extreme problems, you could need a motor replacement.
Electrical problems or losing suction strength, might be reasons to swap out electrical components for new ones. However, a local central vacuum repair professional can tell you the best plan of action for your system.
The average cost for central vacuum cleaner repair is $310, though prices can range from $120 to $500. Your total cost will depend on the type of repair needed and the type of central vacuum you own.
A minor motor repair, like lubrication, only costs around $50. However, if you need to replace your motor, you’ll be looking at a much higher price tag with a total of $100 to $500. Other fixes, like electrical work, are charged by the hour, which ranges from $15 to $55per hour.
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 $50to $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.
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.
