Whirlpool Appliance Repair by Larry
Your Local Appliance Servicer for 45 Years
Call or text (612) 913-6986 for fast service! I specialize in repairing Whirlpool appliances, including refrigerators, ovens, washing machines, and dryers in the Twin Cities.
In Minneapolis and St. Paul, I fix newer Whirlpool bottom-mounted freezers and older top-mounted freezers. I also work on Whirlpool front-loading washing machines and top-loading washers, and I have experience with Whirlpool gas and electric dryers, gas ovens, and electric ranges.
Service Areas for Whirlpool Appliance Repairs
I offer Whirlpool appliance repair services in Edina, Bloomington, Eagan, Apple Valley, Burnsville, Eden Prairie, Richfield, Uptown, St. Louis Park, Hopkins, Minnetonka, Minneapolis, and surrounding areas.
Recommended Appliance Cleaners
If you notice soap buildup in your washing machine or dishwasher, I recommend using Affresh. Many clients use too much soap, and those who prefer cold water washes often experience odors in their washing machines. Using more hot water generally helps prevent this issue. To effectively reduce soap buildup, wash towels in hot water.
Washing Machine Soap Buildup
If you don't have access to a front-loading washer for cleaning comforters and quilts, it's best to take them to a laundromat. These items can be too heavy for a top-loading washer. I recommend doing an exceptional load with Affresh and hot water to clean the washer before adding your bedding. I check through the front door glass to ensure no soap bubbles in the final rinse water.
Dishwasher Soap Buildup
Dishwashers can also accumulate soap buildup. I suggest using Dishwasher Affresh to clean them. Run an empty load with no dishes to ensure the dishwasher is clean. Once clean, you can try washing your glasses in a special load to remove any milky white soap buildup. If that doesn't work, washing the glasses with vinegar in the kitchen sink is another option. If stubborn buildup persists, it may be time to replace the glasses.
Cleaning Kitchen Sink Disposal Buildup
If your kitchen sink disposal doesn't smell right, try putting a bag of ice down the disposal while running water to grind away the accumulated goop. You'll be amazed at what bubbles up in the sink. Repeat this process if necessary. Once the disposal is clean, you can use Affresh disposal tablets for ongoing maintenance.
Where to Buy Affresh Cleaners
The only appliance parts store I recommend is Dey Appliance Parts, located throughout the Twin Cities. They offer a great selection of appliance cleaners and parts. If a specific cleaner or part isn't readily available, they can order it and ship it to a location convenient for you.
When Will My Technician Arrive At My Home
I am Larry, and I am the only technician here. Generally, I make an appointment when you place the service call. There are two-hour windows of time. I will call first about 30 minutes before the scheduled appointment. If you respond to the text or phone call, I start driving in your direction.
Should You Repair Or Replace Your Appliance
You can research this, and different companies feel differently about this topic. Some say there is a fifty percent rule. If the appliance is more than 50% of its life span or over 50% of the cost of a new one, buy new, they suggest. I have been fixing appliances for 45 years, and you cannot put a time frame on life expectancy. A senior living alone can make an appliance that lasts 30 years and has light usage every month.
A person with five Children who does all their laundry on a Sunday can wear out a washer and dryer in three years. I, for one, judge each appliance by its noises, appearance, and the answer to my questions you provided. Typically, I don't suggest throwing away an appliance that would outlive the new appliance you would have purchased.
Price is a factor in repairing your appliances. I might put in a washer pump, water valve, and belt on a washing machine. Front-loading washer bearings are costly and could be a waste of money. I will replace a heating element or thermofuse on a dryer and offer a clean dryer, but I hesitate to put a motor in it. Something more is wrong if you, unlike most, need a dryer motor replacement.
I'm okay with those choices if your refrigerator needs a fan motor, defrost system, cold control, computer, or cleaning. But it's time to consider a new one when the fridge doors are sagging and the door gaskets are ripped or torn.
Ultimately, I rely on my judgment and 45 years of experience.
5 Star Testimonials
I called Larry for a washer problem thinking it was the belt or else. I sent him a video of the problem (super loud washer). He advised that the load was too heavy. It was the right assessment. Problem solved.
I will be using his services in the future in the event of a needed repair. Thank you!

Larry went above and beyond to help diagnose my broken dishwasher. He is extremely knowledgeable, gave me simple and thorough instructions, and helped me quickly figure out the issue. I would 100% encourage anyone looking for appliance repair to reach out. The prices are extremely fair, and the service is top-notch.

Larry is awesome! I've had him out twice for refrigerator issues, and he's been very responsive, able to come out the same day, and very fairly priced. He does a good job of explaining the issues to me in an easy-to-understand way. He also graciously gave me tips on other appliances I have when I told him I'm a first-time homeowner. I have this guy on speed dial for all of my appliance needs!

Wow. I’m impressed. Larry was able to come a day early to fix our dryer. He was friendly and professional. He was able to fix it within 20 minutes. He gave us tips to keep in mind so it doesn’t happen again. Great service. We hope to never have to repair another appliance, but if that time comes, we will definitely call hi

When I thought my refrigerator/freezer was going out on me, I called four other service techs (including the manufacturer), and every one of them told me that I was out of luck until the next day. Then I called Minneapolis Appliance Repair Service, where they recognized and proposed viable solutions for the immediate problem (how to save $400 - $500 of perishable food), instead of just jotting down my address for "the next service call, sometime tomorrow..." which is all that the others offered. After just five minutes on the phone, Minneapolis Appliance Repair Service diagnosed my issue, put me on a path to saving all that food, and guided me through fixing the refrigerator/freezer problem myself!

Larry is the real deal. I was having a problem with my KitchenAid fridge-freezer overfrosting. Larry came by and told me one of three issues it could be and told me how to temporarily fix it until I knew which of the three issues it was (he told me how to diagnose the issue). I followed his advice with the temporary fix while keeping my eye on the issue. Once I was sure of the issue, Larry came back with the replacement part and made the repair in a matter of minutes. The fridge is back in working order.

Larry was able to come next day, fixed our dryer quickly, and provided advice on maintaining it well for the future. He also helped give great advice on our other appliances and maintenance. Very helpful, very kind. Definitely would recommend

Doro Property Management recently used Minneapolis Appliance Repair. We had a great experience with Larry. We had three separate appliances that needed attention. Larry’s experience, knowledge, and trustworthiness in this space are welcomed. I’m confident that Larry helped us resolve all appliance decisions in the most cost-effective and efficient way.

Larry was great. He came over the next day (Saturday) with the correct part to fix my washing machine. Larry was extremely knowledgeable and answered my annoying questions about the parts of the washing machine. After he finished, he looked at my dishwasher, stove, and Garbage disposal for no charge. I would highly recommend Mpls Appliance Repair to anyone.
