Our Appliance Repair Services in Holliston

Refrigerator and Freezer Repair

Your refrigerator is arguably the most critical appliance in your kitchen. When it fails, you face the immediate pressure of food spoilage and wasted groceries. Modern refrigeration units are complex machines that rely on precise airflow, pressure sensors, and temperature controls to keep ingredients fresh. A breakdown here is more than an inconvenience; it is an urgent issue that requires a prompt and knowledgeable response to protect your food supply.

Common problems we fix:

• Refrigerator is warm but freezer remains cold
• Water leaking onto the kitchen floor
• Excessive frost buildup on the back wall or coils
• Loud humming or clicking noises from the compressor
• Ice maker overflowing or jammed with ice
• Digital control panel not responding to touch
• Fresh food freezing in the refrigerator section
• Door seal is torn or not sealing tight

How we approach the repair
We begin by testing the sealed system and electrical components using specialized meters. Our technicians check the compressor start relay, thermistors, and evaporator fans to isolate the failure. We inspect door gaskets for air leaks that force the unit to overwork, which is a common issue during the humid Holliston summers. By identifying the exact component causing the failure, we ensure your refrigerator returns to safe operating temperatures quickly.

In older Holliston homes with custom cabinetry or tight kitchen layouts, we take extra care to slide built in units out safely without damaging your flooring or woodwork.

Washing Machine Repair

A broken washing machine causes laundry piles to grow rapidly, especially for active families involved in local sports or outdoor activities. Whether you have a high efficiency front loader or a traditional top loader, these machines endure heavy stress from high spin speeds and water pressure. Ignoring a small noise or a minor leak can lead to significant water damage or a complete motor failure down the line. We understand that a functional washer is essential for keeping up with the daily demands of life.

Common problems we fix:

• Washer will not drain water after the cycle
• Drum does not spin or agitate clothes
• Machine shakes violently during the spin cycle
• Door gasket has mold or leaks water
• Washer stops mid cycle without error
• Burning smell coming from the drum area
• Lid or door will not lock properly
• Water fills too slowly or overflows

How we approach the repair
We focus on the mechanical drive system and the electronic controls. For drainage issues, we clear pump blockages and check hoses for obstructions. If the machine shakes, we inspect the suspension rods and leveling legs to ensure stability. Our goal is to restore the balance and efficiency of your washer so you can trust it with your delicate fabrics again.

For residents in second floor laundry rooms, common in newer renovations around East Holliston, we pay special attention to vibration isolation to prevent noise from traveling through the floor.

Dryer Repair

A dryer that malfunctions creates a major bottleneck in your household chores. Beyond the inconvenience, a dryer with venting issues or electrical faults can pose a serious fire risk. Gas and electric models each have distinct failure points that require specific safety protocols during service. A properly functioning dryer should dry a full load in one cycle without overheating or damaging your clothes. We ensure your dryer operates safely and efficiently.

Common problems we fix:

• Clothes take multiple cycles to dry completely
• Dryer squeaks or thumps loudly while running
• No heat produced despite the drum spinning
• Timer does not advance to the end of the cycle
• Dryer will not start when the button is pushed
• Vent warning light stays on continuously
• Burning smell when the unit is operating
• Drum does not tumble but motor runs

How we approach the repair
Safety is our primary concern with dryers. We clean internal lint buildup that can spark fires inside the cabinet. We test heating elements for continuity and inspect gas valve coils for proper opening mechanisms. We also verify that the venting system allows for adequate airflow, which is essential for energy efficiency and component longevity.

During the snowy winter months, we verify that the external vent hood is not blocked by snowdrifts, a common issue in our area that restricts airflow.

Dishwasher Repair

Hand washing dishes is a time consuming chore that no one wants to add to their daily list. A dishwasher does more than clean; it sanitizes your dinnerware and saves water compared to manual scrubbing. When this appliance fails, it often points to issues with water inlet valves, circulation pumps, or drainage systems that need professional attention. We help you get out of the sink and back to relaxing after dinner.

Common problems we fix:

• Dishes come out dirty or spotted with residue
• Water pools at the bottom of the tub
• Door latch will not close or lock
• Wash cycle runs too long or never finishes
• Detergent dispenser does not open during cycle
• Unit leaks water onto the kitchen floor
• Buttons on the control panel blink or beep
• No water enters the machine

How we approach the repair
We investigate the wash motor and spray arms to ensure water reaches every corner of the tub. We also check the filtration system for debris like broken glass or food particles that might be recirculating onto your dishes. By addressing the water supply and drainage mechanics, we restore the cleaning power you expect.

Holliston water conditions can sometimes lead to mineral buildup on valve screens, so we inspect these components to ensure proper flow rates.

Oven and Cooktop Repair

A broken oven or cooktop disrupts family dinners and holiday gatherings. Whether you cook with gas or electricity, precise temperature control is vital for baking and safety. Issues with ignition or heating elements can make cooking dangerous or impossible. We service standalone ranges, wall ovens, and cooktops to get your kitchen fully functional again so you can prepare meals with confidence.

Common problems we fix:

• Oven does not heat to the set temperature
• Gas burner clicks continuously but will not light
• Electric element sparks or stays cold
• Oven door glass is shattered or cracked
• Self clean cycle malfunctions or locks the door
• Oven bakes unevenly or burns food
• Control board displays error codes
• Knobs turn but do not control the flame size

How we approach the repair
For electric ovens, we test the heating elements and temperature sensors for resistance. For gas units, we inspect the igniters and gas flow assembly. We also calibrate the thermostat to ensure that the temperature on the dial matches the actual heat inside the oven chamber.

Microwave Repair

The microwave is the ultimate appliance for convenience. When it stops working, you realize how much you rely on it for quick meals and reheating leftovers. While often viewed as disposable, built in and over the range microwaves are significant investments that are often worth repairing rather than replacing. We handle the unique high voltage systems found in these units safely and effectively.

Common problems we fix:

• Microwave runs but does not heat food
• Turntable does not rotate during operation
• Touchpad is unresponsive to inputs
• Sparks visible inside the cooking chamber
• Door switch prevents operation
• Exhaust fan does not work or is loud
• Unit runs for a few seconds then stops

How we approach the repair
We exercise extreme caution with high voltage capacitors and magnetrons. We test the door interlock switches, which are a frequent cause of failure. Our technicians ensure the unit is safe to use and free from radiation leaks before completing the job.

Ice Maker Repair

An ice maker that stops producing ice is a frustration, especially during warm weather or when entertaining guests. These units are prone to jamming and water supply issues. Whether your ice maker is part of your fridge or a standalone unit under the counter, we can diagnose why production has halted and restore your supply of cold drinks.

Common problems we fix:

• Ice cubes are hollow or small
• Ice maker is making loud grinding noises
• Water leaks inside the freezer compartment
• No ice production at all
• Ice tastes bad or smells odd
• Dispenser chute is clogged with frost
• Ice level arm is broken or stuck

How we approach the repair
We check the water inlet valve, the temperature of the freezer, and the mold thermostat. Often, the issue relates to water pressure or a frozen fill tube. We clear these obstructions and test the harvest cycle to ensure you have a steady supply of ice.
