Without trying to re-set the drum, Sam insisted that once the drum had come out of the slots where the shocks sit, the transmission could be bad, it could cost as much as $500 to repair, between parts and labor. He recommended purchasing another stack set. He even recommended purchasing a used set, which was a great idea. However, I then had to spend over half a day driving to used appliance stores. I eventually went to Yes We Can Appliances in Maryland. I explained the problem to the attendant. I told him the model, age, etc., the same information I gave to Sam. The Yes We Can attendant was confident it could be repaired and so I took a chance and had one of their repairmen come out the next afternoon, actually a Saturday. He repaired it in about 7 minutes. It works better than ever. He also explained that if it happened again, how I could in all likelihood re-set the drum myself. I spoke this morning to a person at Appliance Repair Leaders and explained the issue. He was also polite and professional. I repeated that I'm sure the repairman's heart was in the right place, etc. Nonetheless, his misdiagnosis cost me $60 and half a day of unnecessary travel to find a replacement that I never needed. The person assured me that this is not how they do business, etc., but he did not offer to reimburse me for the unnecessary cost, credit for another serivce call, zip. I will not recommend Appliance Repair Leaders. I highly recommend Yes We Can Appliances in Maryland.

While there I had the technican checked out an older (2005) Kenmore Elite refrigerator we keep in the basement that had ice formed in the freezer compartment. He said wasn?t qualified but needed a technican. I called and the soonest appointment was Friday November 26. On Wednesday November 24 we got a call from Sears saying the technican won't be coming on the 26th but the next available appointment is December 16. (remember that date) I called and complain and they rescheduled for the 30th when my 90 year old mother could let them in. When the technican came he said he just used the last part from his truck and we would have to order the part. It would take 15mintues to install and the labor charge would be $240 (He said some people it takes longer; the labor rate is set standard for replacing this module). When the part was sent to our home, we could then get it immediately installed. When the part came in December 5, we were told the installer could get it installed on December 16 between 8 and noon. I also got them to waive the outrageous installation fee. At 10am on 12/16 we got a call that the technican would be coming in the afternoon, (the person I had covering the house had to leave at 2. A neighbor was able to cover. We got a call that we were the next call at about 2:30; he was 15 minutes away. At 3, Sears lost contact with the technican who never showed up. Sears said we would have to reschedule for next year. I asked for a supervisor and told, after a 20 minute hold, that the technican was now scheduled for the next day; 12/17. He was schedule to come between 8 and noon. He showed up at 3 and it took 15 minutes to install. Once i get the ice picked away, I will find out if the problem is solved.

This was a disaster. This company ripped me off. I purchased a Miele Scout RX1 in the store. Immediately the sales person (Jazz) told me that they didn't have the RX1 anymore, but he would make me a deal on the more expensive RX2. I shouldn't have let it happen, but I did. I really wanted the...

Repairman, Sam, was very professional and courteous. He called my cell so that I did not have to wait at my house on Capitol Hill for entire 2-hour period. The problem was a 3-year old washer/dryer stack set in a tenant's basement apartment. The washer drum had come out of the slots where...

FAQs for kenmore vacuum repair projects in Hillsboro, VA
Common repairs for central vacuum cleaners include motor repair, electrical repair, and blocked filters. Central vacuum motor issues typically come with a burning smell and loss of suction. With these issues, you might need simple lubrication to keep it running smoothly, or for more extreme problems, you could need a motor replacement.
Electrical problems or losing suction strength, might be reasons to swap out electrical components for new ones. However, a local central vacuum repair professional can tell you the best plan of action for your system.
The average cost for central vacuum cleaner repair is $310, though prices can range from $120 to $500. Your total cost will depend on the type of repair needed and the type of central vacuum you own.
A minor motor repair, like lubrication, only costs around $50. However, if you need to replace your motor, you’ll be looking at a much higher price tag with a total of $100 to $500. Other fixes, like electrical work, are charged by the hour, which ranges from $15 to $55per hour.
The answer to repairing vs. replacing appliances depends on the type of appliance, the severity of the issue or damage, and the quality of it. If you’ve purchased a top-of-the-line small appliance, it’s almost always more cost-effective to repair it than to replace it. You should also consider the cost to repair it, though. If the repair cost is more than half the cost of a new version, lean toward purchasing a new one. Your small appliance technician could also help you decide by determining the expected remaining lifespan after the repair.
Small appliance repair costs average around $50to $400, with costs ranging significantly based on the type of appliance, the extent of the damage, the issue, the appliance brand, and the availability of replacement parts. Generally speaking, you’ll pay less for repairs on very small appliances, like blenders and toasters, than you will for microwave repairs. We recommend consulting a small appliance repair technician for a quote before starting the project.
Small appliances typically include microwaves, toasters, toaster ovens, food processors, blenders, mixers, slow cookers, air fryers, coffee makers, rice cookers, and any other appliance that can sit on your countertop. Major appliances include refrigerators, dishwashers, ovens, cooktops, washers, and dryers. Some people may include HVAC equipment like condensers and air handlers in this category, too. Small appliances are more of a specialty, so there’s a good chance a typical appliance repair company won’t be able to service and repair small appliances.
