Eagan Appliance Repair Service

Appliance Repair in Eagan

Eagan runs from Cedar Avenue over to Pilot Knob Road and Yankee Doodle Road, with Lebanon Hills and Thomas Lake close by, and it sits squarely inside the area I cover. My name is Larry, and 45 years of repairing household appliances have taught me how much a dead washer or a warm refrigerator disrupts a house.

My work covers refrigerators, washers, dryers, ovens, and ranges, gas or electric, from the major makers. A call or text goes straight to me, not a dispatcher, and you'll hear what I can take on and when.

How Eagan Calls Tend to Come In

Calls arrive in waves. A busy household with young kids runs the washer and dryer almost nonstop, and one dead drain pump or clogged vent piles laundry up fast. The oven gives out right before the holidays, usually with a turkey or a pan of rolls waiting. And when a hot spell arrives, a refrigerator that has been quietly struggling for months finally quits. Each of these usually comes down to a single failed part, and finding it is the hardest part of the job.

If you smell gas, see smoke, or spot water near a plug or cord, stop using the appliance before anything else. For gas, step outside and phone the utility from there.

Six Quick Checks Every Eagan Household Can Make

Try the dollar-bill test on the refrigerator door. Close the door on a bill and tug it. If the bill slides out with no resistance, the gasket has softened or gotten dirty, and cold air is leaking out.

Leave a front-load washer's door cracked open between loads. A shut, damp drum breeds odor and mildew, and the rubber seal stays wetter than it should.

Check the temperatures with a real thermometer. About 37 degrees in the refrigerator and 0 in the freezer are good targets, and a dial setting is only a guess.

Look at the breaker pair when an electric dryer tumbles but doesn't heat. A dryer runs on a double breaker, and one half of the pair can trip and leave the other half live, so the drum turns and the heat never comes.

Look over the oven door gasket while the oven is cold. A frayed or flattened gasket lets heat leak out, so food takes longer, and the oven works harder to keep up.

Watch the color of a gas burner's flame. It should burn steady and blue. Yellow or orange tips mean it isn't burning cleanly, so stop using that burner and call.

Townhomes, Twin Homes, and Two-Story Houses

Much of Eagan was built out in the 1980s and 1990s, so many houses now have their second or third set of appliances, and townhomes and twin homes are as common as single-family houses. In an attached home, the laundry is often upstairs or in a closet off the hall, and a leaking washer there can reach the ceiling below, so I check the hoses and valves first. Newer builds often have front-load pairs on pedestals and sometimes a built-in refrigerator, and I work on those too.

Getting on My Schedule

Start with a call or text naming the appliance, its brand, and what's wrong. A snapshot of the model tag helps a great deal, as do your ZIP code and any gate code, stairway, or parking details. Please avoid pulling a machine out, unstacking it, or opening it for the model tag. Whatever you can see without moving anything is enough. I'll tell you whether it's a job I can take, and when. Appointments open up on short notice more often than most people expect, so ask about today or tomorrow.

What You Pay and What I Stand Behind

The $89 service call covers my visit and the diagnosis. If a repair makes sense, I'll share the price before I start, and you can decide. I use the exact factory part when I can, and if I can't, I'll review the aftermarket option with you before installing it. Parts and labor are covered for a year, as spelled out in the written warranty. You can pay in cash, by check, or by card when the work is finished. I don't charge for evenings, weekends, holidays, or travel.

Fix It or Let It Go?

That's your call, and I try to make it easy. I look at the failed part, the condition of the rest of the machine, what the repair costs, and what a decent new one costs today, and I tell you all of it plainly. A refrigerator with a bad fan motor or a washer with a worn pump is usually worth fixing. A machine with a failed sealed system or a rusted-out tub often isn't, and I'll say so.

More About What I Fix

There's a page for each kind of appliance: refrigerators, washers, dryers, and ovens and ranges. If you're thinking about a particular maker, see the Whirlpool, GE, Frigidaire, LG, or KitchenAid pages. I also work next door in Apple Valley and Burnsville.

Quick Answers for Eagan Homeowners

Can you help over the phone? Sometimes. A few questions can turn out to be a simple setting or a tripped breaker. Most problems require me to see the machine, so I can't diagnose issues based on symptoms alone.

Should I keep using the appliance until you arrive? Not if you smell gas, see smoke, notice sparking, smell a burning odor, see a water leak, or hear a washer shaking hard or a dryer running very hot. Get safe first, and call emergency help if the danger is immediate.

Which brands do you work on? Most of the major ones. Please share the brand, model number, and symptom, and I can usually let you know in one reply whether the job suits me.

What does a visit cost? The $89 call includes the diagnosis, and I quote the repair separately before any work starts.

What if the exact part isn't available? I'd rather use the genuine one. If I can't get it, we'll talk through a suitable aftermarket part before I install anything.

What does the warranty cover? It covers the part I install and the labor for 12 months. It doesn't cover a different part failing later.
