Our Appliance Repair Services in Medfield

Refrigerator Repair and Freezer Repair

The refrigerator is the only appliance in your house that works twenty four hours a day without a break. It is the center of your kitchen and the guardian of your groceries. When a refrigerator stops cooling or a freezer starts thawing, the stress is instant. You worry about food spoilage, waste, and the logistical headache of living without fresh ingredients for your family. We understand the thermodynamics of modern cooling systems and the urgency required when they fail to hold temperature.

Common problems we fix:

• Refrigerator is running constantly but the temperature remains warm
• Freezer has a buildup of thick frost on the back wall
• Fresh food compartment is freezing your lettuce and milk
• Water leaks inside the fridge or pools on the floor underneath
• Ice maker is not making ice or dispenses crushed ice only
• Unit makes loud humming, clicking, or rattling noises
• Door seal is torn or does not close tightly against the frame
• Digital control panel displays error codes or is completely blank

How we approach the repair:

Our diagnostic process begins with a thorough check of the sealed system. We inspect the compressor, evaporator coils, and condenser to ensure heat is being removed from the cabinet efficiently. We check the fans that circulate air to verify they are spinning at the correct speed. If the unit is leaking, we trace the water lines from the inlet valve to the dispenser to find the source. We also test the defrost system components, such as the heater and thermostat, which are frequent causes of cooling failures in frost free models. We aim to restore the stable temperatures your food requires.

In Medfield and nearby towns like Sherborn, high humidity levels during the late summer can put extra strain on refrigerator door gaskets, leading to condensation issues that we can easily resolve.

Washing Machine Repair

A broken washing machine turns a simple household chore into a major logistical problem. For families in Medfield, the laundry pile grows incredibly fast, especially with kids involved in local sports or outdoor activities. The alternative is hauling heavy bags of clothes to a laundromat, which takes hours out of your already busy week. Modern washing machines are complex pieces of equipment that combine water, electricity, and high speed mechanical motion. When they malfunction, they can damage your clothes or even leak water into your home.

Common problems we fix:

• Washer fills with water but refuses to agitate or spin
• Machine vibrates excessively or walks across the laundry room floor
• Water remains in the drum after the cycle is finished
• Lid or door remains locked after the wash is done
• Washer makes loud grinding, banging, or squealing sounds
• Water leaks from the bottom or back of the machine
• Soap dispenser does not empty or is clogged with residue
• Control board flashes errors and beeps continuously

How we approach the repair:

We start by evaluating the drive system. On top loaders, we check the transmission, coupler, and belt to ensure power is transferring to the drum. On front loaders, we inspect the rotor and stator assembly or the motor brushes. We pay close attention to drainage issues, often finding blockages in the drain pump filter caused by small items like coins or socks. We also test the water inlet valves and pressure switches to ensure the machine fills to the correct level. Balancing the machine is a critical final step to prevent future mechanical stress.

Many homes in surrounding areas like Upton and Mendon rely on private wells, where hard water minerals can build up in washer components over time, a factor we always consider during diagnostics.

Dryer Repair, Gas and Electric

A functioning dryer is essential for keeping your household laundry routine on track. 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 unit or an electric model, a dryer that fails to heat or spin is a major inconvenience. We prioritize safety when servicing dryers, as lint accumulation and heating failures can pose serious fire hazards if left unaddressed. We work to ensure your dryer is safe and efficient.

Common problems we fix:

• Dryer runs but produces absolutely no heat
• Clothes take two or three cycles to dry completely
• Drum spins but makes a loud thumping or scraping noise
• Dryer shuts off immediately after starting
• Unit will not start even though it has power
• Control panel buttons do not respond or feel stuck
• Burning smell comes from the appliance while running
• Check vent light stays on even after cleaning the lint trap

How we approach the repair:

We focus on airflow first. Restricted venting is the number one cause of dryer failure and poor performance. We inspect the heating element in electric dryers and the igniter, gas valve, and flame sensor in gas dryers. We also examine the drum support rollers, idler pulley, and belt to resolve noise issues. We ensure that the moisture sensors are clean and functioning so your machine stops exactly when the clothes are dry, saving you energy.

In older homes near the Medfield town center, vent runs can often be long or convoluted, placing extra strain on the dryer blower which we can assess and repair.

Dishwasher Repair

The dishwasher is a time saving appliance that sanitizes your dishes more effectively than hand washing. When it breaks, you lose valuable time in the evening standing over the sink. A dishwasher that leaks or fails to drain can also cause silent water damage to your kitchen cabinetry and flooring. We work to get your dishwasher running again so your kitchen stays clean and your routine stays efficient. We service all styles, from integrated units to portable models.

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 water onto the kitchen floor
• Unit does not fill with water at the start of the cycle
• Wash cycle takes hours longer than usual
• Door latch is broken or will not close
• Buttons on the control panel do not work
• Loud grinding noise occurs during the drain cycle

How we approach the repair:

We inspect the circulation pump and spray arms to ensure water is reaching every rack. We check the drain hose and air gap for obstructions that prevent dirty water from exiting. We also test the heating element and thermostat, as proper water temperature is essential for dissolving detergent and drying dishes. We check the door gasket and pump seals to prevent leaks that could damage your subfloor.

Oven Range and Cooktop Repair

Cooking at home is central to family life, and a broken range makes meal preparation difficult. Whether you are trying to bake a lasagna or boil water for pasta, you need reliable heat control. We service electric glass top stoves, gas ranges with open burners, and wall ovens. Working with gas lines and high voltage electricity requires professional skill and strict adherence to safety protocols. We ensure your kitchen is safe and fully functional.

Common problems we fix:

• Oven does not heat to the set temperature
• Burners click continuously but do not light
• Baking element or broiler element is not working
• Glass cooktop is cracked or showing an error code
• Oven door is stuck locked after self clean cycle
• Temperature is uneven causing burnt or undercooked food
• Knobs are broken or shafts are stripped
• Gas smell occurs when the unit is on

How we approach the repair:

We test the temperature sensors and electronic control boards to verify that the oven is reading heat levels accurately. For gas units, we inspect the igniters and burner ports for clogs or wear. On electric smooth tops, we check the infinite switches and radiant elements. We make sure the door hinges and springs are balanced so the oven seals tightly to keep heat inside where it belongs.

Microwave Repair

The microwave is often the most used appliance in the kitchen for quick heating and defrosting. When it stops working, you realize how much you depend on it for convenience. Built in microwaves and over the range units are specialized appliances that are difficult to replace due to custom cabinetry dimensions. Repairing these units is often the best choice to maintain the look of your kitchen. We handle the high voltage components inside microwaves safely.

Common problems we fix:

• Microwave runs but does not heat food
• Turntable plate does not rotate
• Touchpad is unresponsive or keys are stuck
• Sparks appear inside the cooking chamber
• Exhaust fan does not work on over the range models
• Door handle is broken or latch is loose

How we approach the repair:

We test the magnetron, diode, and high voltage capacitor to determine why the unit is not producing heat. We also check the door interlock switches, which are a critical safety feature that prevents the microwave from running with the door open. We inspect the waveguide cover for damage that could cause arcing and ensure the internal fuse is intact.

Ice Maker Repair

Having a steady supply of ice is a convenience we often take for granted until the bin is empty. Whether you have an ice maker integrated into your fridge or a standalone ice machine, we can fix it. Malfunctioning ice makers can sometimes leak water into your freezer or onto your hardwood floors, so addressing the issue early is important to prevent property damage.

Common problems we fix:

• Ice maker is not producing any ice
• Ice cubes are small, hollow, or misshapen
• Ice has a bad taste or odor
• Dispenser chute is clogged with frost
• Water inlet valve is leaking
• Ejector arm is stuck in the off position

How we approach the repair:

We check the water supply line and filter to ensure there is adequate pressure. We inspect the mold thermostat to see if the freezer is getting cold enough to trigger a harvest cycle. We also test the motor that pushes the ice out into the bin. We ensure the fill tube is not frozen, which blocks water from entering the mold and stopping production.
