Our Appliance Repair Services in Medway

Refrigerator Repair and Freezer Repair

Your refrigerator is the only appliance in your home that must run twenty four hours a day without interruption. It protects your investment in groceries and keeps food safe for your family. When cooling fails, the situation becomes urgent immediately. A refrigerator that is not maintaining temperature can lead to food spoilage and waste, while a freezer that is frosting over can drive up your energy usage significantly. We understand the complex thermodynamics of modern refrigeration systems and the importance of a rapid response.

Common problems we fix:

• Refrigerator is running but the temperature is too warm
• Freezer has heavy frost buildup on the back panel
• Fresh food compartment is freezing your vegetables
• Water is leaking inside the fridge or onto the floor
• Ice maker is not producing ice or dispenses hollow cubes
• Unit makes loud humming or clicking noises
• Door seal is torn or air is escaping
• Digital control panel displays error codes

How we approach the repair:

We begin by inspecting the sealed system, including the compressor and evaporator coils, to ensure the unit is cooling efficiently. We check the condenser fans to verify proper airflow and test the defrost system to ensure ice does not block the air channels. If there is a leak, we trace the water lines from the source to the dispenser. Our goal is to restore the precise temperature balance required for safe food storage.

In Medway and surrounding towns like Medfield, high humidity during the summer months can cause door gaskets to fail or sweat excessively, leading to cooling loss that we can easily correct.

Washing Machine Repair

A broken washing machine can cause a mountain of laundry to pile up in just a few days. For families with children in sports or adults commuting to the city, clean clothes are a non negotiable necessity. Hauling baskets to a laundromat is a time consuming hassle that disrupts your entire schedule. Modern washing machines are high tech appliances that rely on a mix of plumbing, electrical, and mechanical systems. When they fail, they can leak water, damage clothes, or simply refuse to start.

Common problems we fix:

• Washer fills with water but will not agitate or spin
• Machine vibrates violently or walks across the room
• Water drains slowly or stands in the drum after the cycle
• Lid or door remains locked after the cycle finishes
• Washer makes loud grinding or banging noises
• Water leaks from the bottom or back of the unit
• Soap dispenser does not empty fully
• Control board flashes error codes and beeps

How we approach the repair:

We systematically check the drive system, including belts, pulleys, and motors, to address spin and agitation issues. For drainage problems, we inspect the pump and filter for blockages such as coins or socks. We also test the door switches and lid locks, which are frequent failure points on newer high efficiency models. We ensure the machine is level and stable to prevent future mechanical stress.

Many homes in towns like Upton and Mendon rely on private wells, and the minerals in hard water can accelerate wear on washer intake valves and pumps, a factor we always consider during our inspection.

Dryer Repair, Gas and Electric

A dryer that malfunctions adds hours to your laundry routine and leaves you with damp, heavy clothes that must be hung up all over the house. In the cold New England winters, air drying is simply not a practical option. Whether you have a gas dryer or an electric model, safety is our primary concern. A dryer that is not operating correctly can be a fire hazard due to lint buildup or overheating components. We repair dryers to ensure they are safe, efficient, and capable of drying a full load in a single cycle.

Common problems we fix:

• Dryer runs but produces absolutely no heat
• Clothes take multiple cycles to dry completely
• Drum spins but makes a loud squealing or thumping sound
• Dryer shuts off immediately after starting
• Unit will not start even though it has power
• Control panel buttons are unresponsive
• Burning smell comes from the appliance
• Vent light stays on despite the trap being clean

How we approach the repair:

We focus on airflow first, as restricted venting is the most common cause of poor performance and failure. We inspect the heating element in electric units and the igniter and gas solenoids in gas units. We also check the drum support rollers and idler pulleys to resolve noise issues. We ensure that the moisture sensors are functioning so your machine stops exactly when the clothes are dry.

In older homes in Holliston or Millis, venting runs can often be long or have multiple turns, placing extra strain on the dryer blower which we can assess and repair.

Dishwasher Repair

The dishwasher is a time saving appliance that also sanitizes your dishes better than hand washing ever could. When it breaks, you lose valuable time in the evening standing over the sink. A dishwasher that leaks can also cause silent damage to your kitchen cabinetry and subfloor. We work to get your dishwasher running again so your kitchen stays clean and your routine stays efficient. We service both integrated and portable units across all major styles.

Common problems we fix:

• Dishes come out dirty or covered in white film
• Water pools at the bottom of the tub
• Dishwasher leaks water onto the kitchen floor
• Unit does not fill with water
• Wash cycle runs for hours without finishing
• Door latch is broken or will not close
• Buttons on the top control panel do not work
• Loud grinding noise occurs during the drain cycle

How we approach the repair:

We inspect the spray arms and circulation pump to ensure water is reaching every corner of the racks. We check the drain pump and hose for obstructions like broken glass or food debris. We also test the heating element and thermostat, as proper water temperature is essential for cleaning and drying. We check the door gasket to prevent leaks.

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 cake 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 attention to detail. We ensure your cooking appliances are safe to use and calibrated correctly.

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
• Oven door is stuck locked after self clean
• Temperature is uneven causing burnt 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 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.

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. 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 and interior paint for damage that could cause arcing.

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 inside 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.

Common problems we fix:

• Ice maker is not producing any ice
• Ice cubes are small or hollow
• 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.
