Frequently Asked Questions

Create a free account at tcappliances.com/troubleshoot, enter your appliance info (type, brand, model, serial number, and problem description), choose your service type, and select a date and time. Pay securely online, and we call you at your scheduled time. We stay on the phone until the problem is diagnosed. After the call, we email you a written diagnosis report.
Phone Diagnosis ($49): We call you, walk through your symptoms, and identify exactly what's wrong with your appliance. You receive a written diagnosis report by email with the problem and parts needed. We do not provide step-by-step repair instructions with a standard diagnosis — that's what Guided Repair is for.

Guided Repair ($79): Everything in the diagnosis, plus we walk you step-by-step through fixing it yourself over the phone in real time. We stay on the line until the repair is complete. If a part needs to be ordered first, we'll call you back when it arrives to walk you through the installation — no additional charge. Best for handy homeowners who want to save on labor costs.
If the issue can't be resolved over the phone, we can schedule an in-home visit. Members get discounted rates — Pro members save $30 on the diagnostic fee and VIP/Elite members get it completely free. Since we already know what's wrong before we arrive, we can bring the right parts and fix it on the first visit.
Anyone can use our phone diagnosis service — you don't have to be in our local area. We've helped customers across all of Florida and even out of state. However, the in-home service benefits of our membership plans (discounted diagnostics, priority scheduling, repair discounts, and Elite maintenance visits) only apply within our Treasure Coast service area: Port St. Lucie, Stuart, Fort Pierce, Jensen Beach, Palm City, Hobe Sound, and Port Salerno.
Log in to your account, go to your dashboard, and click "Cancel Membership."

Monthly plans: If you've used a service during the current billing period, cancellation takes effect at the end of that month. If no service was used, cancellation is immediate.

Annual plans: If no service was used, you can get a full refund within 14 days (minus a $25 processing fee). After 14 days, you receive a prorated refund for remaining full months. If a service was used within the first 30 days, no refund is available — your membership stays active for the full year. See our full membership terms for details.
We can diagnose all major household appliances over the phone: refrigerators, freezers, washers, dryers, ovens, ranges, stoves, cooktops, dishwashers, garbage disposals, and ice makers. We service all major brands including Samsung, LG, Whirlpool, GE, Maytag, Kenmore, Frigidaire, KitchenAid, and more. We do not service microwaves, small kitchen appliances, or HVAC systems.
