Our Appliance Repair Services in East Boston
Refrigerator Repair and Freezer Repair
Your refrigerator is the most essential appliance in your kitchen, running continuously to keep your food safe. When it stops cooling or begins to malfunction, the clock starts ticking on food spoilage. In East Boston, where humid summer days can put extra strain on cooling compressors and door seals, a working fridge is non-negotiable. We understand the mechanics of modern refrigeration systems and older units found in long-standing local homes. Our technicians work on all configurations, including French door models, side-by-side units, top or bottom freezers, and built-in columns. We focus on restoring the correct temperature and humidity levels to extend the life of your groceries.
Common problems we fix:
- Refrigerator is warm but the freezer is cold
- Frost buildup on the back wall of the freezer
- Water leaking onto the kitchen floor
- Loud humming or clicking noises coming from the back
- Ice maker is not producing ice or dispenses slowly
- Door seal is torn or not closing tightly
- Fresh food compartment is freezing everything
- Digital display or control panel is unresponsive
How we approach the repair:
Diagnostics are the most critical part of refrigerator repair. We test components like the evaporator fan, condenser coils, and start relays to isolate the failure. Safety is a priority, so we check for refrigerant leaks or electrical shorts that could pose a risk. Whether it is clearing a blocked defrost drain to stop a leak or replacing a faulty thermostat to regulate cooling, we aim for a repair that lasts. We also inspect door alignment and gaskets to ensure your unit is not wasting energy trying to stay cold.
Washing Machine Repair
A broken washing machine leads to laundry piling up quickly, which is a major inconvenience for busy families and professionals. Whether you have a laundry setup in a basement in Orient Heights or a compact closet unit in a condo, we have the skills to handle the repair. Washing machines rely on a complex series of cycles to clean clothes effectively, involving water intake, agitation, draining, and high-speed spinning. When one part of this sequence fails, the entire machine becomes unusable. We service top-loading agitator models, high-efficiency top loaders, and front-loading machines.
Common problems we fix:
- Washer fills with water but will not agitate
- Machine vibrates excessively or walks across the room
- Water remains in the drum after the cycle ends
- Washer will not spin or wring out clothes
- Loud banging or grinding sounds during operation
- Door or lid locks but the cycle does not start
- Error codes flashing on the digital display
- Water leaking from the bottom of the machine
How we approach the repair:
We start by assessing the mechanical and electronic systems. For drainage issues, we check the drain pump and hoses for obstructions like coins or lint. If a machine is noisy, we inspect the suspension rods, bearings, and drive belts. In multi-unit buildings, preventing leaks is vital to avoid water damage to neighbors below, so we pay special attention to hoses, seals, and door gaskets. We ensure the machine is leveled correctly and functions through all cycle stages before we finish the job.
Dryer Repair, Gas and Electric
A dryer that leaves clothes damp or takes hours to finish a cycle is a frustration that wastes energy and time. In older East Boston homes, dryer venting can sometimes be a challenge due to building layouts, which impacts efficiency. We service both electric and gas dryers, recognizing the different safety protocols required for each. A properly functioning dryer should dry a standard load in a reasonable amount of time without overheating or making excessive noise. Neglecting dryer issues can lead to lint buildup and potential fire hazards, so we take every symptom seriously.
Common problems we fix:
- Dryer runs but produces no heat
- Clothes take multiple cycles to dry completely
- Drum does not tumble even though the motor runs
- Squeaking or thumping noises while running
- Dryer gets too hot and damages clothing
- Timer does not advance or cycle does not end
- Unit will not start or power on at all
- Burning smell coming from the appliance
How we approach the repair:
For electric dryers, we test heating elements, fuses, and thermostats with multimeters to ensure continuity. For gas units, we inspect the igniter, gas valve coils, and flame sensors to ensure safe combustion. Airflow is key to dryer performance, so we often check the internal blower wheel and lint path for blockages. We verify that the moisture sensors are communicating correctly with the control board so your dryer stops when the clothes are actually dry.
Dishwasher Repair
Hand washing dishes is a chore most homeowners want to avoid. Your dishwasher serves a vital role in sanitation and kitchen management. Modern dishwashers are quiet and water-efficient, but they rely on pumps, spray arms, and electronic controls working in harmony. Issues often arise from drainage failures or water supply problems. We work on all types of dishwashers, including integrated panel-ready models and standard built-in units. Our goal is to ensure your dishes come out clean, dry, and sanitized every time.
Common problems we fix:
- Dishes come out dirty or covered in residue
- Water pools in the bottom of the tub
- Dishwasher does not fill with water
- Door latch is broken or will not close
- Soap dispenser door does not open
- Unit leaks water onto the kitchen floor
- Buttons on the control panel do not respond
- Cycle runs for too long or never finishes
How we approach the repair:
We investigate the wash system, checking spray arms for clogged jets and inspecting the circulation pump. If the unit is not draining, we look for blockages in the drain hose, pump, or air gap. We also test the heating element to ensure water reaches the right temperature for dissolving detergent and drying dishes. Leaks often require checking the door seal or the pump housing. We test the unit to confirm there are no drips and that the water drains completely.
Oven Range and Cooktop Repair
A broken oven or stove disrupts family meals and holiday gatherings. Whether you cook with gas or electricity, we understand the importance of precise temperature control and safe operation. In East Boston, we see a mix of vintage gas ranges in historic homes and sleek induction cooktops in renovated apartments. We are equipped to handle both. Issues with ovens often involve temperature regulation, while cooktop problems usually relate to ignition or heating elements. We prioritize safety above all else when working with high-voltage electricity and gas connections.
Common problems we fix:
- Oven does not heat up to the set temperature
- Gas burner clicks continuously but does not light
- Electric burner element remains cold
- Oven door glass is shattered or door hinges are broken
- Baking results are uneven or inconsistent
- Self-cleaning cycle causes the door to lock permanently
- Error codes appear on the display
- Smell of gas when the unit is on
How we approach the repair:
For gas ranges, we test the igniters and verify gas flow to the burners and oven bake element. For electric ovens, we check the bake and broil elements for visible damage or continuity breaks. We also calibrate temperature sensors if the oven runs too hot or too cool. If the control board is faulty, we carefully assess if a repair or replacement is the best route. We ensure the unit is stable and that all anti-tip brackets are secure.
Microwave Repair
Microwaves are often taken for granted until they stop working. As a staple for quick meals and reheating, a malfunction is immediately noticeable. We repair built-in microwaves, over-the-range units, and drawer-style microwaves. These appliances contain high-voltage capacitors and require professional handling to repair safely. We address issues ranging from mechanical door failures to internal electrical faults that prevent heating.
Common problems we fix:
- Microwave runs but does not heat food
- Turntable plate does not rotate
- Sparks or arcing visible inside the cooking chamber
- Touchpad buttons are not working
- Unit shuts off after a few seconds of operation
- Exhaust fan on over-the-range models is not working
How we approach the repair:
We test the magnetron, diode, and high-voltage capacitor to determine why the unit is not producing microwaves. Door switches are a frequent point of failure, so we check the interlock system to ensure the unit knows when the door is safely closed. We also inspect the wave guide cover for damage that could cause sparking. Our technicians follow strict safety protocols to discharge capacitors before touching internal components.
Ice Maker Repair
A dedicated ice maker or a refrigerator ice dispenser provides a convenience that is hard to live without, especially during entertaining or warm weather. Ice makers are prone to jamming, mineral buildup, and mechanical failure. We service integrated refrigerator ice makers and standalone under-counter ice machines. We understand the plumbing and mechanical cycles required to produce clear, consistent ice cubes.
Common problems we fix:
- Ice maker produces no ice at all
- Ice cubes are small or hollow
- Ice tastes bad or has an odor
- Water leaks inside the freezer compartment
- Dispenser flap is stuck open or closed
- Ice clumps together in the bin
How we approach the repair:
We check the water inlet valve to ensure the mold is filling with the correct amount of water. If the ice is small, it often indicates low water pressure or a clogged filter. We inspect the mold thermostat and the motor that ejects the ice. We also check for frozen fill tubes that block water flow. We ensure the entire harvest cycle functions correctly so your bin stays full.

Professional Repair vs DIY Repairs
In the age of online video tutorials, it can be tempting to try and fix an appliance yourself. However, modern appliances are complex machines that involve high-voltage electricity, gas lines, and water connections. Without proper training and tools, DIY repairs can lead to safety hazards or further damage. For example, a dryer that is not reassembled correctly can become a fire risk, and a washing machine with a loose hose clamp can cause significant water damage to your floors and the ceiling below you.
One of the most common issues we see with DIY attempts is misdiagnosis. Homeowners often buy and replace parts based on a guess, only to find the problem persists. This results in wasted money on non-returnable electronic parts. Professional technicians have the testing equipment to verify exactly which component is faulty. We can distinguish between a bad control board and a simple loose wire, saving you from buying expensive parts you do not need. Additionally, modern appliances often have stored error codes that must be cleared or specific calibration procedures that must be followed after a part installation. We handle these technical details to ensure the appliance operates safely and efficiently.

Leaks can come from cracked hoses, failed pumps, worn door seals, or clogged drains. A leaking fridge often has a blocked defrost drain, while a leaking washer usually indicates a pump or hose failure. We trace the leak to its source to stop water damage to your home.
What should I do before the technician arrives?
Please ensure there is a clear path to the appliance so we can access it safely. If you have pets, it is helpful to secure them. For fridges, you do not need to empty them unless instructed, but moving fragile items from the area is a good idea.
