Why 15% of Repairs Need a Second Visit

We carry the 50 most common parts on the van for Samsung, LG, Whirlpool, GE, Frigidaire, and Maytag. But some parts are model-specific: a Samsung control board for a 2022 French door fridge, an LG linear compressor kit, a Sub-Zero sealed system component. When we need to order, the part arrives in 1-3 business days and we schedule the return visit at your convenience. You only pay the diagnostic fee once.

Three Ways to Speed Up Your Appointment

Have the model and serial number ready. It's on a sticker inside the door or under the lid. Text us a photo before the appointment and we can pre-check part availability. Clear access to the appliance. If the fridge is wedged between cabinets with boxes stacked on top, the tech spends 15 minutes moving things before touching the appliance. Note the exact symptoms: "The fridge runs but the freezer is warm" is 10x more useful than "it's not working right."
