Then on 9/17/ 2015 they were out again to look into why that new fuse blew already. The technician said that he would just bypass the fuse and that,that would fix the issue. Again no investigation as to why the fuse blew. Now I figure that there is a reason to put fuses into appliances for a reason and did question him about it it before leaving. He assured me that all was well and that there should be no more problems. Guess what? The bypass failed,arced and burned a hole thru the inside wall of the door of the dishwasher. It is blatantly apparent as to what happened. You can see the burned hole and when it happened you could smell the ozone from the burn. When we called to report this and advise them that we would need a new dishwasher due to the incompetence of their technician, I was told that they would get back to us. This took place on the 24th of November. No phone call came. When we called today to see where this matter was headed, Rick pretty much told us too bad and that we would have to buy our own dishwasher. The tech should have been able to identify the problem and fixed from that standpoint instead of just 1) putting in a new fuse and 2) bypassing the fuse altogether. Now Rick also mentioned that this issue was over and basically good luck in getting anything. I assured Rick that no, it was not over and we needed further discussion. But Rick just wasn't in the mood to talk. He wished me a good day and hung up. I gotta tell you that was the only part that really bothered me. The inflection in his voice was extremely bothersome. As of 12/9/2015, I received a check for $195 and a note to put this amount toward the purchase of a new dishwasher. I feel that he is trying to make good but still falls short of a new dishwasher."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/mi/harrison-township/higher-standards-appliance-rpr-reviews-3587096.htm"},"position":5},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Maple Appliance Co","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"MI","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Melanie C."},"reviewBody":"After a failed attempt at fixing the dishwasher ourselves the technician quickly repaired wiring and found the water pump needed to be replaced.

I also hired him to remove the old dishwasher, and install the new on being purchased at the same time as new range. He coordinated his work with the schedule of the appliance delivery persons perfectly, and everything was accomplished in a top-notch professional manner. All of this work went so well that I later hired him to vent the existing microwave oven to the outside, run a new water line in the basement and install a new exterior water tap.

We hired them to fix our dishwasher. The guy said he'd order the part and come back in a week to fix it. The next morning (within 24 hours) we called to cancel the appointment but they still charged us half the cost of the service ($212) without providing any service. We called back several...

"I owe Robert an apology. He quoted me an outlandish price of $400 for repair of a timer on my Kenmore Dryer. I gave him the $100 call fee and sent him on his way, thinking he was scamming me. Well, I got on the internet and hunted down my part- $180! So I thank him for pointing out the problem. It was a $100 education. I got a discount on the part. I ended up paying $136. I YouTubed how to install it, so I saved a little over $100 dollars. It takes under 15 minutes to install."

FAQs for dishwasher installation projects in Oakland, MI
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.
