Top 5 Most Common Appliances That Require Repair & Their Costs
The quality of our day-to-day life depends significantly on our appliances running smoothly. Standard machines like washers, dryers, and refrigerators support us behind the scenes and, when broken, can cause severe disruptions in our schedules and can be a source of added stress. That is why it is indispensable to have a reliable appliance repair company and to know when it is time to call them.
Preventive maintenance and repair BEFORE a major break is the best way to avoid surcharges and needless hassles. Especially when it comes to home appliances; nothing lasts forever. This is true even for the sturdiest brands. At George’s Appliance Repair, we are always one call away to assist you and give you a free consultation for any appliance repair need in Roanoke, VA.

Or needing to go buy a large block of ice at the local market and hauling it home on a chariot pulled by your favourite donkey to place it in the icebox and keep your food cold for only a few days.

Refrigerator Repair
When the refrigerator breaks down in a household, especially a big one, it can cause severe disruption and strain on everyday living. In addition to that, the chances of food spoiling can lead to food poisoning, and a lot of money wasted on groceries gone bad.
Signs Your Refrigerator Needs Repair
One of the first signs to be on the lookout for is the temperature of the refrigerator’s back. If scorching to the touch, there is a significant chance of a more severe appliance issue and the need for refrigerator repair. Unusually loud noises is a dead giveaway that something is off within the refrigerator mechanics.
Visible signs include condensation on the inside or outside and a buildup of frost in the freezer portion. Lastly, food spoiling prematurely, no matter the refrigerator’s temperature, is also an alarming sign.
The lifespan of a fridge is up to 13 years. Most refrigerators’ repairs are low cost and involve a broken thermostat or heating element or control panel malfunctions. When calling us for a free estimate, we will evaluate the repair cost and honestly tell you whether it is time to buy a new refrigerator or not.
Dishwasher Repair
Dishwashers are a big help around the house, and an absolute luxury for many. If you have a big family or are a busy professional, chances are your life will not be the same without a properly-functioning dishwasher.
Common Indications You Need a Dishwasher Repair
Tell-tale signs that your dishwasher needs some maintenance are:
- Not cleaning dishes fully
- Dishes not drying or remaining excessively wet
- Not draining correctly, leaving a puddle at the bottom
- Visible leakage or pools underneath
- In rare cases: Dish racks breaking
Usually, in a dishwasher, there are problems with the pumps (either the wash pump, the drain pump, or the circulation pump) or the valve that controls the flow of water. Other problems that require a professional dishwasher repair service person is a broken door or a bad break in the pump (which causes a horrible sound). You will know the last one because you will hear a loud growling coming out of your dishwasher.
The tricky part of detecting problems with a dishwasher is the signs often come slowly and aren’t noticeable right away. If the dishes are slowly not washing correctly, there is an excellent chance that more further problems are soon to follow. That is why it is crucial to call us right away to check and make sure your appliance is working right.
