We currently employ 17 individuals. Each one of our employees is a part of the Appliance Doctor family. We all come to work each and every day to support our families, provide quality work for our customers, and to know that we have put forth the effort required to do a good job.
Our industry is ever changing and the products we service are diverse and highly advanced. Years ago, our service technicians were required to be more of a mechanical repairman. Today, it is required that our technicians be able to read schematics and wiring diagrams, to have a working knowledge of voltmeters, ammeters, and ohmmeters. The amount of training required today for a technician is at least ten fold from what was required just 15 years ago.
We are committed to keeping our technicians skill levels current and relevant to today's products.

The new parts lasted six months. My oven is again nonfunctional. I called the company and they can not help me. The guarantee is only for 90 days. Seems like parts should last for years not months, especially when I paid $470.00 for the repair. The least they could do is question the company who makes the parts.
Description of Work: Last October 2016 my wall oven had stopped working. Technician came to my house and diagnosed the oven as having a faulty main control panel and temperature sensor. I approved the job to replace those parts. The technician was professional and knowledgeable. The job was done and the oven was working again until the weekend (May 20, 2017).

Do not use these people- you will be very sorry! First the repair tech Mike comes out to supposedly repair my washer- he looks inside the front door and cannot read the data label. He says he can't do anything and then charges us a $99 service fee for coming out- $99! He wasn't even in my home for 10 minutes. When I got home I pulled the washer out from where it was next to the dryer and there on the side of the washer was a clearly legible data tag. What repair tech doesn't know where to find the data tag? Three days later we called to have them complete the repair- to the washer boot- they wanted to charge us $395! This would include deducting the $99 service fee - we said ok since we were already committed with the $99. The appointment was for Black Friday. At 8 AM- Mike calls to say he will be at my home between 1-5. HE NEVER SHOWED UP- HE NEVER CALLED. The officer staff Rachael was completely un-helpful when we called them saying "it is after 5 and I am not supposed to even be here". Then the following MONDAY-I had to call them and Trish tells me she will look into it and "get back to me but the phone may ring and she is not sure when she will call me back. Oh- the owner during all this is in Florida and the service manager lied to me when she answered the phone and I asked to speak to the service manager she said that person was not in then when she gave me her name it was the same name that was given to me on Friday as the name of the service manager-Trisha. Oh and a small point- this Trish never even apologized for the inconvenience or difficulties- not even that much of a gesture. I will be posting on Angie's List and my Facebook page because this company is a complete and total rip off outfit. Trish called me back and when pressed admitted she had mis-represented herself when I asked if she was the service manager and she said that the service manager wasn't available. They are so rude and unprofessional and down right nasty! And the owner is in Florida! HOW sad that this company's staff is so nasty. I only hope the owner has his house paid for in Florida because with service like this he won't be in business long.
Description of Work: Came out on 11/20 and charged us $99 as a service call and did nothing!

Service was excellent and the repair was successful despite the unit being quite old. Turned out the drain was clogged. Repair was messy but required no parts and went quickly (e.g. 35 minutes). The negative review is for the price - $207 just seems really excessive.
Description of Work: Serviced an old dishwasher.

It took three visits to repair our old dryer, but Eric was diligent and persistent and got it right. They followed up immediately and Rachel in the office was very helpful in facilitating the work. While we were without our dryer for four days, we are back in business. Thanks to Appliance Doctor.

It went well. The guy came a few minutes early, took the dryer apart, told me how much it would cost. He came back three days later and repaired it.
Description of Work: Rich or Robert repaired my five-year-old front-load Samsung dryer. He serves NE and S Philly. It is hard to find a repairperson for Samsung appliances.

11/5/13: We were called for a broken icemaker. We came out the same day and diagnosed a faulty part. We collected a $100 deposit and provided a tentative estimate on the repair. 11/9/13: We called [member name removed] and had to leave a message on her voicemail with firm pricing for her repair. 11/19/13: 10 days later [member name removed] decided not to pursue the repair. We immediately agreed to refund her the difference she paid to us minus our service call fee. 12/12/13: Check #27306 was sent to [member name removed] at her home address, but as of this writing, it has not cleared our bank. We will reach out to her to ensure she received the check and reissue another if necessary. We desire for all of our customers to be satisfied and to do the best job that we can possibly do. Thank you

back in May 2013, serviceman came out to replace a blown fuse that caused the microwave not to power up. After waiting 4 days for the part, paying over 225.00, they replaced the fuse. However almost three months later, STILL IN THEIR WRITTEN WARRANTY PERIOD, my wife decided to cook fish in the house and turn on the exhaust fan. Turns out it sounds like a piece of paper got into the fan area. We explained to them that it was within the warranty period. He came back out and wanted 225.00 just to remove the whole unit. When we said no, he said we have to pay for a service call. We questioned why for him being in our home for less than 5 minutes, and telling him he worked on it less than three months earlier, he said it had nothing to do with his work. We told him the fan never sounded like that BEFORE he worked on it. He then said just pay half the service fee, that alone threw up red flags. We refused he left, and I received two nasty phone calls, one with a threat of CRIMINAL CHARGES unless I paid 129.00 service call. I said wait a minute what about the half charge the gentleman wanted? NO answer. I decided that I was not going to pay for SOMETHING THEY CAUSED. I now have a court date as they went after me for the service charge EVEN THOUGH I NEVER EVER RECEIVED A BILLTO THIS DAY more than a month later, still no bill but I have a court date, that is fine, I have more than enough information on this company and its practices to defend myself. The sad part is the red flags thrown up about collecting half a service charge. It is a shame Eric did not respond to my attempts to talk to him about this problem, via fax and multiple phone calls. I highly recommend YOU NOT DEALING WITH THIS COMPANY

I am fully aware of this matter and would like to offer my response. Yes, it is true that we serviced memeber's microwave on 4/25/2013. We found a faulty part (fuse) in his microwave. We gave him a repair estimate, he agreed to the repair, we collected a deposit, and then returned on 4/30/2013 to complete the repair. The microwave was tested for proper operation and found to be fully operational. The customer agreed. We fully guarantee any part that we install for a period of 90 days. Service call fees are warranted for 30 days as stated on our service ticket. On 7/24/2013, we received a call from the members stating the fan was making a noise. Prior to dispatching our technician, we explained to him our service call fee, he agreed, and we then dispatched a technician to their home. Our diagnosis was that the unit would need to be uninstalled and disassembled to remedy the noise caused by the fan. We provided an estimate for this repair. He wanted us to perform this repair for free. Member then refused to pay the service call fee which was previously agreed upon. In an attempt to satisfy our customer, our technician agreed to discount the service call fee by 50%. For some reason, this discount offended him and he asked us to leave his home with no payment. We complied. We later attempted to resolve the matter with member via telephone. He acknowledged that he knew and agreed to pay prior to having us come out but had since changed his mind. He told us to sue him and we agreed. We made every attempt to resolve this with member. In district court and after the district justice heard both sides, he ruled in favor of our company stating that it was in fact 'Theft of Services'. He ordered member to pay the 50% service call fee that we previously agreed to plus court costs. We are a small, local family business who provides fast knowledgeable service to our customers. We service more than 10,000 customers each year. While we sincerely and honestly do strive to satisfy 100% of our customers, we find that sometimes we just can' meet everyone's expectations. Thankfully, most of our customers value our services and praise us for doing a good job. We truly do appreciate each and every one of our customers who put their trust in us. It is an honor that we do NOT take for granted! Thank you, Eric Guckin President

They always arrive promptly. Overall, I’ve been happy with their service. That being said, I did have more success with them when they were repairing kitchen appliances versus my washing machine.
Description of Work: I’ve had them out for service a few times.
