Appliance repair for kitchen, laundry and refrigeration equipment
A failed appliance can interrupt food storage, meal preparation, laundry, sanitation or daily business operations. HVAC & Appliance Repair Guys provides appliance repair throughout Portland Metro and southwest Washington for refrigerators, freezers, dishwashers, washers, dryers, ovens, ranges, cooktops, ice makers, wine coolers and selected commercial equipment. Start with the appliance type, brand, model number if available, ZIP code and the exact symptom.
Service requests are accepted 24/7. Appointment timing depends on the appliance, location, current workload and the information needed to prepare for the visit. A diagnostic visit is used to identify the failure, explain practical options and provide pricing before approved repair work begins.
Appliances we repair
Refrigerators and freezers
Request refrigerator repair or freezer repair for food that is warming, a freezer that is not holding temperature, frost buildup, leaking water, fan noise, a failed ice maker, weak dispenser flow or repeated temperature swings. Move food according to your own food-safety plan and record temperatures when possible.
Dishwashers
Common dishwasher calls include a tub that is not draining, dishes that remain dirty, water under the door, poor drying, unusual odors, grinding sounds and control-panel error codes. See the dedicated dishwasher repair page for symptom-specific guidance.
Washers and dryers
We handle washer leaks, no-spin complaints, drainage problems, shaking, control issues and cycles that stop early. Dryer requests include no heat, long dry times, a drum that will not turn, unusual noise and shutdown during a cycle. Use the washer repair and dryer repair pages to prepare the right details.
Ovens, ranges and cooktops
Cooking-appliance symptoms include no heat, slow preheating, uneven temperature, ignition trouble, a burner that will not light or regulate, a door that does not close correctly and display or control failures. The oven repair page covers these issues in more detail.
Ice makers, wine coolers and commercial equipment
Standalone ice makers, undercounter refrigeration, wine coolers, reach-in refrigerators, prep coolers, commercial cooking equipment and selected ice machines require exact equipment and access information. Businesses should begin at commercial appliance repair.
Common appliance symptoms
- Not cooling or freezing: refrigerator compartments are warm, freezer food is soft, a wine cooler will not hold temperature or a commercial cabinet is fluctuating.
- Leaking water: water appears under a refrigerator, dishwasher, washer or ice machine, or collects inside a cabinet or tub.
- Not draining: a dishwasher retains water, a washer stops with water in the tub or a drain-related error returns.
- Not heating: a dryer runs without heat, an oven will not reach temperature or a dishwasher does not dry as expected.
- Noise or vibration: grinding, rattling, squealing, fan contact, a loose drum sound or severe washer movement.
- Electrical or control symptoms: blank display, unresponsive buttons, intermittent shutdown, repeated beeping or an error code.
Do not guess a failed part from the symptom alone. Similar complaints can come from power, water supply, drainage, airflow, controls, sensors, motors, fans, pumps, heating components, seals, installation conditions or a larger mechanical problem.
What to send with a service request
- Appliance type and brand.
- Model and serial number from the equipment label, if accessible.
- ZIP code and any stairs, gate, parking, tenant or property-manager instructions.
- A plain description of what the appliance does and does not do.
- Photos of the full appliance, model label, error display, leak location or installation opening.
- Whether the issue is constant, intermittent or started after a move, filter change, power interruption or plumbing work.
For gas smells, smoke, sparking, flooding or an electrical hazard, stop using the equipment and follow the appropriate utility, emergency or property-safety procedure before requesting routine appliance service.
How the diagnostic and service call works
The technician starts by confirming the complaint and checking conditions that can affect the appliance. Depending on the equipment, that may include power, water supply, drainage, airflow, temperatures, door closure, controls, error history, motors, pumps, fans, heating components or ignition behavior. The objective is to separate the visible symptom from the actual cause.
After diagnosis, we explain the finding and available next steps. Pricing is presented before approved repair work begins. Parts availability is confirmed after the model and required component are identified.
Repair or replace?
Repair can be sensible when the appliance is in good condition, the failure is isolated, the needed part is practical and the equipment still fits the household or kitchen. Replacement may be the better choice when failures repeat, the cabinet or tub is damaged, corrosion is extensive, parts are no longer practical, or the repair cost does not fit the appliance’s age, condition and role.
Fit matters. A counter-depth refrigerator, panel-ready dishwasher, stacked laundry set, wall oven or commercial unit may be difficult to replace even when a new model looks affordable online. See repair or replace an appliance for a fuller decision guide and appliance repair cost factors for pricing context.
Brands and model information
We diagnose and service many residential and selected commercial appliances throughout the Portland Metro service area. Brand capability depends on appliance type, model, age, parts availability and the nature of the failure. Browse major appliance brands we repair and send the complete model label before assuming that two appliances with the same badge use the same components.
If the appliance may still be under a manufacturer, retailer or third-party warranty, verify coverage and service requirements with the warranty provider before authorizing non-warranty work. Our appliance service is provided independently.

Appliance repair FAQ
Do you need the model number before scheduling?
A clear model-label photo is strongly recommended. It helps identify the appliance configuration, possible documentation and the correct parts information, but a request can still begin with the brand, appliance type and symptom.
Can one request include more than one appliance?
Yes. List each appliance separately with its brand, model and symptom so the request can be reviewed correctly.
Will I receive pricing before a repair?
The diagnostic visit identifies the failure. The repair option and pricing are explained before approved repair work begins.
Should I reset an appliance before service?
Follow the manufacturer’s user instructions if a safe reset is clearly documented. Avoid repeated resets that erase error history or mask an intermittent problem.
Do you repair every brand and every model?
Whether repair is practical depends on the appliance category, model, age, access, parts and failure. Useful details include the model label so the request can be reviewed without assumptions.
What should I do with an active water leak?
If it is safe and you know the correct shutoff, stop the water source, protect the area and take photos. Use the leaking-appliance guide for preparation details.
