Our Appliance Repair Services in Mendon

Refrigerator Repair and Freezer Repair

The refrigerator is arguably the most critical appliance in your home. It runs continuously to preserve your groceries and keep food safe for your family. When a fridge fails, the clock starts ticking on food spoilage, creating immediate stress and potential waste. A malfunctioning unit can also consume excessive electricity, driving up your utility bills without you realizing it until the statement arrives. We understand the mechanics of modern cooling systems and the importance of maintaining stable temperatures.

Common problems we fix:

• Refrigerator is running but not cooling properly
• Freezer creates excessive frost buildup on the back wall
• Fresh food compartment is freezing vegetables and liquids
• Water dispenser is leaking onto the floor or inside the door
• Unit makes loud humming or clicking noises frequently
• Ice maker is not producing ice or produces hollow cubes
• Door seal is torn or not closing tightly against the frame
• Digital control panel is flashing error codes

How we approach the repair:

Our diagnostic process for refrigeration begins with checking the sealed system and airflow components. We examine the compressor, evaporator fan, and condenser coils to ensure heat is being removed efficiently. We also inspect door gaskets and thermostats to verify that the unit can maintain the correct temperature settings. If the issue involves a leak or a drainage problem, we carefully trace the water lines to find the source. We work on standard top freezer models, side by side units, and complex French door refrigerators with dual evaporators.

In Mendon and surrounding towns like Upton, high humidity during late summer can cause condensation issues if door seals are even slightly compromised, leading to mold or cooling loss.

Washing Machine Repair

A broken washing machine creates a backlog of laundry that piles up incredibly fast, especially for families with children or active lifestyles. The inconvenience of hauling heavy bags of clothes to a laundromat in Milford or Franklin is something most homeowners want to avoid. Modern washing machines are complex appliances that combine water, electricity, and high speed mechanical motion. When one part of this system fails, the entire machine becomes unusable or even dangerous to operate due to leak risks.

Common problems we fix:

• Washer fills with water but does not agitate or spin
• Machine vibrates excessively or walks across the room
• Water remains in the drum after the cycle ends
• Washer makes loud banging or grinding sounds during spin
• Door or lid remains locked after the cycle completes
• Water leaks from the bottom or back of the machine
• Soap dispenser does not empty fully
• Digital display shows error codes and will not start

How we approach the repair:

We start by evaluating the mechanical and electronic components that control the wash cycle. For top loaders, we check the lid switch, agitator dogs, and transmission. On front loading models, we inspect the door latch, boot seal, and motor control board. We pay close attention to drainage issues, often clearing blockages in the pump or filter that prevent water from exiting. Addressing vibration issues often involves leveling the machine and inspecting the suspension rods or shock absorbers.

Many homes in Mendon and Uxbridge rely on well water, which can lead to mineral buildup in inlet valves and pumps over time, requiring specific attention during service.

Dryer Repair, Gas and Electric

A functioning dryer is essential for completing the laundry process efficiently. Hanging wet clothes around the house to dry increases indoor humidity and is simply not practical during a cold New England winter. Whether you own a gas or electric model, a dryer that fails to heat or spin turns a simple chore into a multi day ordeal. We prioritize safety when servicing dryers, as lint buildup and heating failures can pose fire hazards if left unaddressed.

Common problems we fix:

• Dryer runs but produces no heat at all
• Clothes take multiple cycles to dry completely
• Drum does not tumble even though the motor runs
• Unit makes loud squealing or thumping noises
• Dryer shuts off immediately after starting
• Control panel buttons are unresponsive
• Burning smell comes from the appliance while running
• Vent is clear but the dryer still indicates a blockage

How we approach the repair:

We begin by verifying proper airflow, which is the most common cause of poor drying performance. We check the venting system from the back of the dryer to the exterior of your home. For heating issues, we test the heating element in electric models and the igniter and gas valve coils in gas units. We also inspect the drum rollers, idler pulley, and drive belt to resolve noise issues. Our goal is to ensure your dryer operates safely and efficiently.

Older homes in areas like Holliston or Medfield often have longer vent runs, which puts extra strain on dryer blowers and requires careful inspection.

Dishwasher Repair

The dishwasher is a time saving appliance that also ensures your dishes are sanitized effectively. When it breaks down, you are forced to spend hours hand washing plates and silverware. A malfunctioning dishwasher can also cause water damage to your kitchen cabinetry if leaks go unnoticed. We fix dishwashers to restore convenience to your kitchen cleanup routine.

Common problems we fix:

• Dishes come out dirty or covered in white residue
• Water pools at the bottom of the tub after the cycle
• Dishwasher leaks onto the kitchen floor
• Unit does not fill with water
• Wash cycle takes much longer than usual
• Door latch failure prevents the unit from starting
• Buttons on the control panel do not respond
• Loud grinding noise occurs during the drain cycle

How we approach the repair:

We investigate the water inlet valve, circulation pump, and spray arms to ensure water is reaching every corner of the tub. If drainage is the issue, we check the drain pump, hose, and air gap for obstructions. We also test the heating element and thermostat to verify that the water gets hot enough to clean and sanitize dishes properly. We ensure the door seal is watertight to prevent damage to your flooring.

Oven Range and Cooktop Repair

Your oven and cooktop are the heart of your kitchen, especially during holidays and family gatherings. A broken range makes meal preparation difficult and limits your cooking options. Whether you have a gas range or an electric smooth top, we have the skills to handle high voltage circuits and gas safety components. We help you get back to baking, roasting, and sautéing without frustration.

Common problems we fix:

• Oven does not heat to the set temperature
• Burners on the stovetop do not ignite or heat up
• Oven door is stuck closed or will not open
• Glass cooktop is cracked or showing error codes
• Gas burner clicks continuously after lighting
• Baking element or broiler element is not working
• Temperature control is calibrated incorrectly
• Self clean cycle malfunctions or locks the door

How we approach the repair:

We test the heating elements, igniters, and temperature sensors to pinpoint why your oven is not performing. For gas units, we check the gas supply and burner ports for clogs. On electric glass tops, we inspect the radiant surface elements and infinite switches. We also calibrate the oven temperature to ensure your recipes turn out exactly as expected.

Microwave Repair

Microwaves offer unmatched convenience for reheating leftovers and defrosting ingredients. When a microwave breaks, you realize how much you rely on it for quick meals. Built in models and over the range units are particularly difficult to replace, making repair a smart and economical choice. We service both countertop and integrated microwave units.

Common problems we fix:

• Microwave runs but does not heat food
• Turntable plate does not rotate
• Touchpad controls are intermittent or dead
• Unit sparks or arcs during operation
• Door handle is broken or latch is stuck
• Exhaust fan on over the range models is not working

How we approach the repair:

We test the magnetron, high voltage capacitor, and diode, which are the core components responsible for heating. We also inspect door interlock switches, as a faulty switch prevents the unit from starting for safety reasons. We handle these repairs with extreme caution due to the high voltage stored in microwave capacitors.

Ice Maker Repair

A reliable ice maker is a luxury that becomes a necessity during warm weather or when entertaining guests. When your ice maker fails, dealing with ice trays or buying bags of ice becomes a hassle. We repair standalone ice machines as well as units integrated into your refrigerator.

Common problems we fix:

• Ice maker is not making any ice
• Ice cubes are small, hollow, or misshapen
• Ice tastes bad or has an odor
• Dispenser chute is jammed with frost
• Water leaks into the ice bin forming a solid block
• Ice maker arm is stuck in the off position

How we approach the repair:

We check the water supply line, inlet valve, and mold thermostat. Often, the issue is related to the temperature in the freezer not being low enough to trigger the harvest cycle. We also inspect the motor module that ejects the ice. We ensure the water filter is not clogged, as this restricts flow and affects ice size.
