Description of Work: Came to investigate an oven that wouldn't shut off. Took care of the immediate problem of turning off the over, had to come back a few days later with parts to complete the repair. No issues since. Positive experience overall.

Our HE washing machine broke down and with 2 very active boys, we needed it repaired quickly! Called Steve's Apliance Doctor, which I found on Angie's List, and was told that I would receive a call back. I did receive a prompt call back fromSteve(?) and he asked me a few questions about the machine and the issue. He was very professional and told me to first unplug the machine in order to and quot;clear the boardand quot; and that might resolve the issue (I was receiving error messages on the machine and it would not start the wash cycle). Steve said if that worked to call him back and he would cancel the service call - no charge. That didn't work and Steve showed up promptly the next day. He looked it over and diagnosed the issue, had the part and replaced it within the hour - he even started the first load of laundry for me to make sure everything was working properlu. Prompt and professional service and I will definitely use them again!

We like the dishwasher's features. Steve , the Appliance Doctor, noted that they are not the same on newer models and repaired it for us at a lower cost than other estimates. It has run perfectly ever since. He was very professional and advised us on how to avoid future problems.

Excellent job - no issues since. Provided tips on usage, feedback on the models we have, etc. Cleaned up after the work. Very professional
Description of Work: Fixed a broken dryer. A belt and pulley of some kind had to be replaced. I'm recalling the price, so it may not be exact. It was a little higher than I would have liked, but well worth it vs buying new, and worth knowing it was a job done well.

I used Angie's list to identify a company that could handle the repair of my dishwasher and found this company had both good grades and comments, particularly with responsiveness. I called and was told I would be called back and, much to my surprise and frustration, I never received a return call. I mentioned this to a few friends and one indicated that the same thing had happened to her. The first test of a good company is their responsiveness so I am not impressed with this company.

Response from Appliance Doctor Inc
Dear member... we are sorry that we did not return your call. We were having communications issues with our pagers and a number of messages never got to our office. We tried to catch up on all the lost calls, but unfortunately there were too many. We have since updated our answering service and paging process and hopefully, we will not have the same problems again. Please give us another try when the next time you need your appliances fixed - we will try our best to be responsive and return your call in a timely fashion.

washer making horrible noise. Called Appliance Doctor. Easy to make appointment. Steve called when he had to reschedule and was very apologetic. Came on time and fixed the washer. Took extra steps to make sure it wouldn't happen again.

He was very responsive to phone call and came within 24 hours. He arrived on time, was very professional and easy to work with. He was honest and easy to talk with about our best options. I would use him again even though we weren't able to fix the microwave, I feel like he helped make a decision to avoid wasting a lot of money on either fixing it or purchasing a very expensive microwave again and just having it break.
Description of Work: He evaluated our microwave hood / vent to see why it wasn't working and determined it was a problem with the computer aspect of the microwave. He gave an estimate for cost of repair and made the recommendation that it would be cheaper to purchase a new microwave rather than have it fixed.

Repairs have all gone well for us. My sister was very disappointed that he could not be convinced to go to North Branch.
Description of Work: My husband and I have trusted and used Steve's Appliance Doctor for many years. He does excellent work, but is not cheap. Does not work on Saturdays, and will not work out of his service area. Notwithstanding, we will continue to use him. I am very comfortable that he will give me an honest assessment of the repair, or will recommend replacement when appropriate.

It went very well. His 24-hour answering service efficiently relayed messages. He called back promptly and was kind and relayed funny anecdotes while working with us. His costs were comparable with other appliance services in our area. Glad to have Steve to rely on!
Description of Work: Steve came promptly, diagnosed the problem: our GE Nautilus Model GSD-3400 Dishwasher motor was not functioning and had to be replaced. A gasket had migrated into the washing wand. We found the part online and verified that his price was fair.He even came on Sunday so we would be ready for Thanksgiving guests. He explained everything clearly as he worked and gave us tips on how to reduce mold. (1) Keep dishwasher open a few inches e.g. with a matchbox, except when washing. (2) If traveling, add 1-2 cups of white vinegar or lemon juice to the sump water inside the dishwasher. (3) In newer dishwashers electronic setting mechanisms are very expensive to replace. Older mechanical ones like ours are easier and less expensive to repair.

We were delighted with Steven. He returns calls within a half hour, is extremely prompt, honest, courteous, and professional. He set an appointment for two days after I called, with a two-hour arrival window (and arrived right in the middle). He told me something to try with the dryer before he arrived, which could solve the problem. I called him the following day to see if he was an authorized GE repair person, as my washer was still under partial warranty). He said he was not, and that I was welcome to use GE, but he indicated that their labor charges very expensive, and the warranty only covers parts. The fact that he gave us a way to address the problem (which would be to his financial disadvantage) was very revealing of his character, and made me feel relaxed about using him even though he was not an authorized GE repair person. Even my husband remarked on how terrific he was, saying, "This is how a service person should behave!" We would use him again.
Description of Work: Our washer was not spinning clothes effectively and our dryer loads were taking too long to dry. Steven checked the appliances and pronounced them both in good working order. He explained (to my embarrassment) that the washing machine's speed setting was incorrect, and showed us how to properly set that. The dryer problem was a matter of a clogged vent pipe, for which he left us the name of two vent cleaning companies. He told us that we could leave the vent hose disconnected, and the dryer would work fine. Both appliances are working like a dream now, and the cost for the service visit was extremely reasonable.
