Clint showed up within his alloted time and went to work quickly diagnosing the problem. Once he figured it out he replaced the wire quickly. Also let me know what was going on with my refrigerator just by describing the sound. Bought me some time to look for a replacement. Gave recommendation of what to buy going forward.

Overall I'm happy with the service and I will use them again. I don't feel the cost was out of line
Description of Work: I have a 7 year old Kenmore dryer 6.5cu ft that one day didn't heat. I checked the breaker box, electric dryers take 2 - 120v breakers - one to turn the drum the other to provide heat, both were okay. That's the extend of my handyman knowledge so I called Cary Discount and Capital Appliance Repair in Cary (659 Cary Towne Blvd. I made an appointment and the tech showed up on time. It didn't take the tech long to find out that the heating-element was bad. He replaced the element ($69) and the dryer was back in service. I found the tech friendly and knowledgeable and worked clean - the dryer sits in a cramped place.

Called after hours and set up appointment for the next day. Repairman came at the appointed time and began analysis of problem. In short amount, he had the problem figured out and began installing a new water valve. Did a good job of cleaning up after the repair. Made mention the the water valves on the water faucets were old. The water had not been turned off and on in a long time and that there may be small in in them. He stated that we should keep on them. If they started to leak, we would need to call a plumber as he did not do plumbing. Repairman worked quickly and acted very professional.

My Whirlpool washer was leaking water during each load. I checked Angie's list, found Capital Appliance Repair and was impressed with the reviews. I called on a Friday afternoon to schedule an appointment for the next week since I was heading out of town anyway. Nevertheless, the person answering the phone was distressed that he was unable to offer me an appointment that afternoon because they were too busy! I scheduled for Tuesday morning between 10 and 11. On Tuesday, the technician, Jason called me to let me know he was running behind and would be there about 11:15. When he arrived he was very pleasant and professional and went straight to work diagnosing the machine. He tolerated me hanging out and watching him work and answered all of my questions. It took very little time for us to see water coming from the pump when he started a cycle. I was sure that would be too expensive to justify fixing in a machine that already had about 10 years on it. Jason quickly reassured me that it was no problem, only $53 dollars for the pump, and he had it switched out and the machine put back together before I had time to come back downstairs from fetching my checkbook! I had also mentioned that the knob that selects the load size was broken and he fixed that too. Before paying, I asked him if he had any thoughts on a problem I was having with my ice maker/water dispenser - a problem that stumped a long-distance family member who repairs appliances. He offered to take a look and spent time checking all of the possibilities. He wasn't able to diagnose the problem but, of course, the problem wasn't happening while he was there! I was gratified that he didn't doubt my word that the problem actually existed and he volunteered to come back anytime if the problem persisted. He didn't charge anything extra for the few minutes he spent looking things over the fridge. The total for the day was 124.08, That included the pump, $75 service call and tax, minus 10% for my Angie's list coupon. Overall this was a very pleasant experience and I will definitely call them again for any appliance issue I have in the future.

My freezer had been acting erratic for several months. it's a month since the repair and it works great.
Description of Work: The serviceman removed the lining of my freezer and replaced a fan. I've had this done twice in the past 10 years on other refrigerators by others. This was the best job overall, the most professional tech guy-- he patiently answered all my questions.

1:30 PM: Washer stopped running with a ratcheting sound like ice in a blender. Found Capital Appliance Repair here on Angie's List. I liked the sound of the reviews and the quoted costs for washing machine repairs. 1:45 PM: Called them. Described the trouble and mentioned that I found them on Angie's List and the 10% off service call coupon. Was told they could be out to my house between 2 and 4 PM today if that was OK. Not a problem I said. 1:54 PM: Called by Jason saying that he was about 10 minutes away if that was OK. Started cleaning up the area around the machine so he would have some elbow room 2:04 PM: Jason arrives. I introduce my dog to him. Dog is happy and goes back to where he was napping. I turned the machine on. Jason diagnoses the probable problem as a failed coupling between the motor and transmission. Opens up the machine, disconnects the motor from the transmission and what remains of the coupler falls to the ground. Jason explains that machines of this age (KitchenAid top loader, purchased in July 1999) used a solid plastic/nylon coupler. The new couplers have a metal core now to last longer. He said it is amazing that the old couplers last as long as they do. 2:20 PM: Machine is back in working condition. I start up the machine to finish the load it stopped on while Jason writes up the ticket. 2:25 PM: I write the check. We shake hands and everyone is happy. My wife told me this morning as she was leaving for work to have fun doing the laundry. Well, this was different from most laundry days.

On a Thursday night after regular business hours I definitively determined that the10 year old fridge and freezer weren't working. Chose Capital because they were open past regular business hours, and I wanted the repair before the weekend if possible. No problem. Repairman arrived Friday morning within 10 minutes of his projected arrival time, diagnosed the problem, had the part we needed on board his truck, and was finished within an hour. I was very happy with the service and glad we did the repair rather than purchase a new fridge.

Very satisfied with the work. He knew what he was doing and was very efficient. The only delay in completing the work was getting a part for the dishwasher.
Description of Work: Fixed a dishwasher and a washing machine. The dishwasher needed a new valve to keep water from collecting in the bottom. The washing machine had stopped agitating. The repair fellow charged me for just one visit, even though he had to return twice before he had the correct part for the dishwasher repair.

I guess I explained everything I needed too up above.
Description of Work: Thermostat went out in my fridge. I called Capital appliance, they were here the next morning, figured out what the problem was, and returned the next day prompltly with a new thermostat. Professional repairman, told me exactly what the problem was and what the total cost would be. $180.00 as opposed to a thousand or more to purchase a new fridge. Should I have any other problems with anyappliances around my home, I will call Capital first.

Refrigerator would not cool. Called captial and they came out the next day. Repair person stated control board was bad. He said he would have to order the part and it would take up to 14 days. He further stated he needed the 400.00 payment now. Three weeks later we still had not heard from captial. I called three office for two days leaving voice mails no response. On the third day someone answered and said they were just about to call me. He told me the part had not came in yet but I should not be upset for I would not pay until services were delivered. I told him thats funny because I had already paid up front because repair person required payment. He stated since it had taken awhile he would rush order the part though it was going to cost him a lot of money and have it in three days. Five days passed, I called and left message. The next day I called again and someone answered. He stated he had been trying to call me, I replied my phone did not identify any missed calls nor any voice mails. Two days laterthe repairman showed. He told me he could not remember how to install the control board and forgot his directions. It took him two hours. Never will I use them again! 14 days turned into 33 days.

Unfortunately that's the way it is sometimes for ordered parts. And unfortunately with a part this expensive we often times have to get the part cost upfront because a customer gets frustrated with the wait. I have a large collection of "vintage" parts I will carry to my grave as a result of parts taking much longer than estimated. I apologize for the experience you had but these are issues beyond our control. However you are right, we should have communicated this to you better and again I apologize.

Simply great! Service man came within an hour of my call. He had excellent customer relationshionship. These people well deserve an A+. I'm keeping their name and number in case I have a need for the future. I highly recommend them to anyone needing large appliance repair.
Description of Work: My dryer would not turn on. The service man checked the dryer thoroughly, but it turned out to be a faulty electrical switch at the main fuse box. This required an electrician to repair. Although I paid for the service call, I received a 10 % discount for mentioning their web ad, I was reassured that my dryer was in very good condition and it wasn't causing the problem. Dryer's can easily be a fire prone appliance, and knowing the dryer was well functioning, even though I had to call an electrician to repair the fuse switch, was reassuring and worth the service call.

Our seven-year-old Kenmore dishwasher stopped filling with water. Over Thanksgiving, inconveniently enough, we had to wash our dishes by hand. I called Capital Appliance on Monday morning, the 28th. An appointment was made for three hours later. The repairman, Josh, arrived on time, accurately diagnosed the problem (malfunctioning fill valve) and offered to fetch the part, return with it and complete the repair within the hour. I was agreeable, and he did as he said he would.He fixed the dishwasher for the amount that he estimated it would cost, and took 10 percent off the service call cost when I presented an Angie's List certificate. Capital Appliance's promptness, efficiency, and professionalism were impressive, and i would recommend this vendor to anyone needing to having an appliance repaired.

They answered the phone and took my call. They said they'll have someone out tomorrow, which they did. They came out the next day at 9:30 as we had discussed on the phone. It was wonderful that they came right away.

I called this company after reading great reports on Angie's List. My washing machine was full of water and clothes and had stopped working at 11 am the day before Thanksgiving, and I had 3 loads of laundry to do before our family drove out of town. They told me over the phone to unplug the machine and try it again in an hour, and if that did not work, to call back and they would come out that day. When that did not solve the problem, I called back and they said they would be out between 3 pm and 5 pm that day. Nobody showed up or called. I tried to reach them shortly after 5 pm (figured I'd give them some grace time), and all I got was an answering machine. I tried again several times to no avail, leaving several messages practically begging them to come out. Five days later on Monday morning, after Thanksgiving weekend, I called them back and they had no idea what happened. After explaining that I was up doing laundry at several friends houses at midnight before Thanksgiving and that I couldn't believe they had not given me at least a courtesy call, their only explanation was that the three days before holidays are like Black Friday they are so busy. I told him I understood, but if that was true, they should have at least told me they were too busy to come out; as it was, they did not call or show up and I was completely left in the lurch, when I could have had all day to contact another company instead. He finally apologized and said he would look into it and find out what happened. Five days too late! Pre-holiday or not, the customer service was completely unacceptable, and I did not even receive an apology phone call after the weekend, despite the fact that I had left desperate messages on their answering machine Wednesday evening, still hoping they would make it out to my house.

I don't remember it quite this way. You did call at 11:00 but I told you it was unlikely we could get someone out before Monday due to the Holiday rush (everybody is getting their stove repaired that's been out since the summer) and if you needed a control board we did not have time to pick up the board and go to North Raleigh. But all was not lost because as often as not the board just needed to be reset which requires the washer to be unplugged for an hour or two. You did that to no avail and wanted someone out immediately. I'm sorry but we were unable to do the service within that time frame. And by the way, the repair was obviously a very high priority for you, did you not call another company? Weren't they able to help you on such short notice, the day before Thanksgiving? Apparently not! I just hope you left them a bad review as well.

Called company at 11:00 a.m. to see if they could repair my dryer. My phone call was answered promptly and I was asked about the problem and the make of the dryer. I was told a repair call could be made that day between 12 and 2. The technician arrived at 12:15 , diagnosed the problem and had the part needed to complete the repair. He explained the problem and approximated what the final cost would be. He completed the repair and also checked my outside vent and was finished in under 30 minutes. It was a very good experience and I would use them again and have suggested them to other friends.

When the repair man arrived, he was very nice and knowledgeable. He said it would cost $350 to fix it and he said I would be better off to get a new machine, which I decided to do. My problem is them charging me $75 to tell me it would cost $350 to fix it. Why couldn't they have told me this on the first call I made to them instead of coming to the house to tell me to collect an easy $75. I told them it was an error message I was getting and that I had read it is a common problem with this brand of washer's control board. They should have said, this control board replacement is a $350 job, which we can do or you may want to look at buying a new machine. Just let us know if you would like it fixed. They have me as a customer.
Description of Work: Contacted them about a control board problem with a Kenmore Elite Washing machine. They said they could fix it, so I had them come out to do so.

Response from Capital Appliance Repair
The customer seems to be upset that we couldn't trouble-shoot his appliance over the telephone. Although error messages are an important indicator, they are by no means 100% accurate. For example, a loose wire, a corroded ribbon could produce a false error code. If member was looking for an estimate on the board cost I would have been glad to quote him, but he never asked. Furthermore he could have called a local parts store or looked the board up on the internet very very quickly, but he wanted to know for sure before he purchased a brand new appliance... and that's why he called us. We charged a reasonable fee for driving to his house and diagnosing the problem. I'm sorry it wasn't something minor and I'm sorry the customer wasn't satisfied but we have to charge for our time and the expense of going out. Please call someone else in the future, maybe they'll work for free.
