My name is Ryan Sickles. Throughout my life I have been exposed to the appliance industry. My father has been working in the field for 50 years now and has personally trained me since I was young. I remember cleaning parts from torn up dryers that he was refurbishing since before I was 12.
I entered the field when I was 19 beginning my apprenticeship.
Being in and out of the field for the last 10 years, taking breaks to further my education in surrounding industries such as construction. I began PDX in 2016 while still under the umbrella of my fathers company as I familiarized my self further with rapidly changing industry.
Through my lifetime of being in the appliance industry I have been able to secure a foundation of solid understanding with the old mechanical elements in appliances and also supplement that foundation with an in depth comprehension of the new age (mainly electronic) required understanding that is needed for appliance repair in this day and age.

I contacted Dan at 8:30 on a Monday morning and by 10 a.m., He had repaired the washer. He was very good about explaining what was wrong and gave me good advice about future repairs. Unbelievably more responsive than Sears, less expensive and way better service!
Description of Work: 1992 Kenmore washer was unbalanced and jumping all over the place during the spin cycle. He oiled the glides and it took care of the problem.

Polite, prompt and efficient. Was helpful in solving the space dilemmas in our washroom. Useful advice on replacement dryer also. Rearranged his schedule so we could get a dryer back soon.
Description of Work: Price includes 3 separate trips-one to determine dryer needed replacing. One to remove the dryer from the room since it had to be dismantled, and one to install new dryer (gas) with special ducting to maximize air flow.

Gary diagnosed the problem over the phone and was at my house in 30 minutes. He never made any guarantees but ended up fixing the problem in about 15 minutes. I was very impressed with his responsiveness, honesty and thoroughness.
Description of Work: Gary came out and fixed our refrigerator which was not cooling any longer.

I was surprised to get a call answered right away and an appointment made for the next day. He arrived on time and completed the work efficiently. My only complaint is that he said he hadn't worked on this type of refrigerator before and that he was learning the new appliances still. That had me worried at the beginning. Had he known the appliance, the work probably would have gone faster and maybe cost less.
Description of Work: Ice was forming in the freezer. The tube for the water was kinked and needed to be cleaned of ice. Once the freezer was taken apart hot water was used to clear out the tube. Seems to be working fine now.

Overall good experience although I think his price was much higher than I other estimates I received on phone - however, he did come out same day - probably would have saved money if I wanted to wait.
Description of Work: Gas range was not working properly - called several companies on Friday who could not come out until following Monday or Wednesday. Called Dan of Gary's Appliance and he said he could come out that day - said he could fix it if it was the igniter - if not, he would just charge for service call. He did come out and did the repair promply and correctly.

Very rapid service. He came by the same day I called. Diagnosed the problem quickly and replaced the bad part on the spot. Nice guy, prompt, efficient service. The price seemed a bit steep, but I guess that's what these things cost.

David's was sent as an AHS home warranty service provider. David and his "assistant" showed up on time. That's really the only good thing I can say. When we had spoken on the phone to set up the appointment, he had stated that he would stop by the warehouse, pick up the parts, and do the repair that day. He showed up & said that he hadn't had time to get the parts. His asst. Turned on the oven & touched the hot element! I had only budgeted that time to deal with the repair, and expected him to do as he'd promised. He became upset and angry. I stated that his not doing as promised would force me to take more time off work, and that I was not happy about that. He felt I was being unfair. I thought he was acting in an unprofessional manner, and asked him to please leave. I still had to pay the service call, and then get someone else to do the work! I asked AHS for someone else on the dishwasher call, and they sent David. He said he'd replaced a part with new but it looks old.
Description of Work: Oven display light repair work (promised, but not performed.) 2nd visit due to AHS system. If I'd had a choice, he would not have come back. Repair of dishwasher (soap cup wouldn't open.) $45.00 amount is co-pay for AHS homeowner's warranty.

Response from PDX Appliance
I DID TELL THE HOME OWNER THAT I WOULD BRING PARTS, BUT FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS A 20% RESTOCK FEE, AND THE PARTS WERE VERY EXPENSIVE. ALSO I FOUND OUT THE WARRANTY CO. WOULD NOT COMPENSATE ME FOR THE LOSS. SHE WAS UPSET, AND I EXPLAINED THAT I WAS ONLY HUMAN, WITH WHICH SHE ASKED ME TO LEAVE. I ONLY USE NEW PARTS IN MY SERVICE, AND ANY HOME OWNER IS WELCOME TO EXAMINE THE PARTS BEFORE I INSTALL THEM.

WHEN I CALLED FOR AN APPOINTMENT, HE RETURNED THE CALL WITHIN 10 MINUTES, GAVE ME A 2 HR. WINDOW WHEN HE'D ARRIVE. HE ARRIVED ON TIME, A VERY NICE AND FRIENDLY GUY. HE WAS EXTREMELY KNOWLEDGEABLE AND GAVE ME A LOT OF ADDITIONAL TIPS ON MAINTAINING THE DISHWASHER. IN 15 MINUTES HE FIGURED OUT SOMETHING THAT ANOTHER GUY HAD TRIED FOR FOUR HOURS TO FIGURE OUT. HE DEFINITELY KNOWS HIS STUFF AND HE'S REALLY INTO HIS JOB.
Description of Work: MY DISHWASHER WASN'T CLEANING DISHES WELL, SO HE CAME AND DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM. HE FOUND THAT IT ACTUALLY HAD A LOT OF OLD BUILDUP AND GRIME INSIDE, SO RECOMMENDED CLEANING IN A CERTAIN WAY. HE TESTED ALL ASPECTS OF THE DISHWASHER TO BE SURE THAT WAS THE ONLY FACTOR. HE FINISHED IN ABOUT 15 MINUTES.

I CALLED GARY'S ABOUT MY RANGE HOOD. HE TOLD ME THAT ALTHOUGH HE COULD COME OUT AND LOOK AT IT (THAT SAME DAY!), HE MIGHT NOT BE KNOWLEDGEABLE ENOUGH TO REPAIR IT, AND THAT I MIGHT BE BETTER OFF CALLING SOMEONE ELSE. I APPRECIATED HIS HONESTY AND I'LL CALL HIM AGAIN IF NEEDED.

DAN WAS ON TIME. ALTHOUGH HE TRIED TO SHOW UP A DAY EARLY, I WON'T COUNT THAT AGAINST HIM. HE WAS TIMID AT FIRST WITH RESPECT TO TAKING IT APART, BUT GOT THE PROBLEM FIXED.
Description of Work: DAN CAME TO CHECK OUT WHY OUR ICE MACHINE DOOR WAS NOT OPENING. HE WAS UNSURE OF OUR MODEL, SO LEFT TO RESEARCH PARTS AND PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH THE MODEL. HE CAME BACK THE SAME AFTERNOON TO TAKE IT APART AND WHEN HE PUT IT BACK TOGETHER, IT WORKED.

WE REALLY WEREN'T SURE WHAT WAS WRONG WITH OUR DRYER, JUST THAT IT DIDN'T DRY OUR CLOTHES. WE TOOK IT INTO GARY'S APPLIANCE AND HAD THEM DO AN ESTIMATE FIRST. WHEN THEY DISCOVERED THE BROKEN BELT, THEY JUST REPLACED IT. WE WERE OVERJOYED THAT THE COST WAS SO LOW.
Description of Work: WE NEEDED TO HAVE THE BELT THAT TURNS THE DRUM ON OUR DRYER REPLACED BY GARY'S APPLIANCE.
