As requested, David called first and my husband drove home from work to meet him. David was very punctual. This wasn't a complicated job but nonetheless, he did very good work. My husband was very pleased (we are normally do-it-yourselfers because it is so hard to get quality work). We will happily call Star again for any other appliance work we need.
Description of Work: We had a leak in the water dispenser in our refrigerator. David replaced the water line to the water dispenser and also replaced the line to the icemaker at no extra charge. He did a quick and thorough job.

I appreciate the fact that he came right away when we called. He tried everything he could to re-wire this refrigerator. I really appreciate the efforts that he put forth to try and fix the refrigerator rather than just trying to sell me a new one, that’s exactly what I needed at that time. He was responsive and professional.
Description of Work: They came out on a service call to repair my refrigerator and declared it dead in the end.

The latch on our dishwasher door broke. I called Star Appliance and David promptly answered. We set up an appointment for the next day. He called and said he could come early. He gave us a price before doing the work. He was personable, courteous and professional. I will definitely call him in the future.

Called on Tuesday and set up a time for them to come the next day. Dave arrived exactly on time, diagnosed the problem in a few minutes as a defective mother board, had the part in the truck, replaced it within an hour, cleaned up the defrosted ice and water. Most impressed by his promptness, work quality and having the necessary parts on hand.

When I placed the initial call to Star, Dave answered the call--no messages. I explained the problem, as I had researched this online over the weekend, but did not have the model number of the oven. Dave quoted his service fee price and offered to come out that afternoon. As that didn't work for my schedule, we scheduled the service call for the following day between the times of 10:30 and 1:00. Dave agreed to provide 30-40 minutes notice so that I would not miss more work than needed. He called midway through the time spread and arrived promptly. He immediately went to work and confirmed that the mother board was bad. He was able to find the replacement part, quoted a price, left to pick it up, installed it, and performed a number ot tests to insure that the oven was working properly--all in the same afternoon! Dave was very knowledgeable about appliances, courteous and didn't make a mess! I will definitely call him for future applicance repairs.
Description of Work: Replaced mother board on 18+ year old wall oven.

We couldn't have been more pleased with the service.
Description of Work: Our 25 year old Maytag washer was leaking water occasionally. The Star Appliance repairman said the water pump was leaking and really needed replacement. There were also two other areas where the machine showed that failure was not too far off. His advice: replace the washer now. We asked if he could do a minor repair to keep it running for a while as we wanted to wait until the new year when good bargains would be available.He said he could, and put in a new gasket, and it hasn't leaked since. We plan to purchase a new washer and dryer in the next few weeks. We were impressed with his honesty, professionalism, and promptness.

I had an excellent experience! I called Star the Saturday before Christmas and left a message for Dave. He called me back on Monday, 12/22, and we agreed that he would be at my house between 11:00 and 1:00 on Tuesday, 12/23. He called me when he was 30 minutes away so I could leave my office to meet him and we arrived at the same time. I showed him how water was accumulating in the refrigerator and he immediately knew what was causing it and what to do about it. He gave me a price and started on it right away. Within an hour my refrigerator was repaired and I was extremely happy! I had out of state guests arriving for the holiday and I really needed my refrigerator to be working. Thanks Dave. You made my holiday!
Description of Work: Dave cleaned out built up ice in my freezer and unplugged a drain that had stopped up. He also installed a heat transfer wire to reduce the chances of this issue happening again.

We set a time 2 days in advance(I was unavailable earlier). He called about 30 minutes before arriving, and showed up on time. I showed him the refrigerator and explained the problem. He removed the plastic panel that covers the controls and did some testing, confirming that the problem was with the cold control. He called a local business that sells appliance parts and checked that they had it in stock. He offered to replace it for the cost of the part and labor, but told me that I could easily do it myself. I had replaced some other parts on the fridge before, so he showed me that it was a very simple part to replace, gave me the number and address of the parts outlet, and charged me a very reasonable $59 service charge. I was very impressed with his honesty ability to willingness to explain problem with the appliance. He will definitely be my "go to" guy for appliance repairs in the from now on.
Description of Work: I had a refrigerator in a rental unit that was not cooling sometimes. He came out, took it apart and verified that the cold control was working intermittently. He did not have the part, but offered me the choice of coming back to replace it or just giving me the part number and the phone number of a place that had it in stock so I could do it myself.

This was my first experience with this company. I called Monday morning and got voice mail-left a message with the problem, my name and phone number. Dave called back an hour or so later and said he would be out the next morning between 10 and 12. He called Tues. morning at 10:10 and said he would be here in 20 minutes. At 10:30 he was at the door, looked at the machine, told me what was wrong and what the price would be. He made the repair quickly while I watched and chatted with him. I usually like to watch repairs being made so I can be a little more educated when things go wrong-also, I like to find a repair person I can stick with, so personality and integrity are very important to me. After he left I noticed the drum moving about more than I remembered, so I called him and he came back within the hour. Turns out it is supposed to do that... He even made a minor adjustment on my refrigerator door while he was here the second time and didn't charge me. I am very happy when I find someone I feel I can count on when I need repairs or maintenance on and around my house. I will definitely call Dave again when I need a repair on a large appliance and would recommend him to my friends and family.

Dave took my call on the first ring. We arranged for a house call for the next morning. Dave arrived on time and ready to work. The repair was done in workmanlike manner, efficient and effective. Dave called me during the repair to inform me of the scope and cost prior to completion of the repair. Excellent job and excellent experience overall. I will use him and Star again.

He came out to repair my dryer that was not cooling on Thursday after hurricane Ike, I was not at work because of the hurricane. He said that it had a lot of dog hair inside and in the vent hose and cleaned it out. I ran two loads of clothes after he "fixed" it before it stopped heating. I called him and he told me that there are 2 circuit breakers and that I needed to make sure they were both on. I reset them and it still did not work. I tried to contact him. I left several messages on several days before he called me back. He said that he could come that afternoon but I have a job and I cannot leave. I asked him if he could come after work or on the weekend. He told me that he did not do that. So much for service.
Description of Work: Dryer not cooling. Ice maker in refrigerator needed a new wire, which he provided when he came.

Called Star about 4:15 pm, explained problem, and David arranged to come out about noon the next day. David called about 11:15 the next day to say he was on his way. He quickly diagnosed the problem, took the time to explain the workings of the refrigerator's circulation cooling, and what the problem with our refrigerator most likely was. David was very professional, knowledgeable, and pleasant to work with.
Description of Work: Diagnosed refrigerator cooling problem. Circulation fan was stuck because the refrigerator had been unplugged for several days. David explained that moisture probably had slightly corroded the fan shaft, making is stick to the motor magnet. Once freed up, the fan ran fine.

I have used this company before with excellent results and was not at all disappointed this time as well. Within one hour's time, Dave repaired the clothes dryer, checked the cook-top burners, and repaired the refrigerator shelf. He is punctual, completely professional, highly knowledgeable, and committed to high quality work.
Description of Work: My clothes dryer would not turn off automatically. Dave determined it was a defective timer. He ordered and installed the new timer. At my request, he also ran a check on the cook-top burners to be sure they were all heating properly and repaired a broken shelf support for a refrigerator shelf.

I called about 9 am and had service the same day. Very courteous and prompt. He diagnosed the problem and fixed the thermostat wiring. He checked out the exhaust problem and let us know who to call to fix it. Since it went through the roof and was not easily accessible he recommended a chimney sweep to come and clean it out. He left the dryer usable and said it would be fine with the room exhaust for a month or so and instructed us on how to use the dryer until the exhaust vent was cleaned out.
Description of Work: We had a dryer that would not turn on or heat. It was a 7 yr. old stacked unit in a cubby hole. He fixed a wiring problem with the high temperature thermostat and discovered that part of the problem was a blocked exhaust.
