Appliance repair in Markham

Appliance repair in Markham, built around how Markham homes were built

Markham grew in waves, and each wave left behind a generation of appliances that now fails on schedule.

The big 2000s subdivisions, Cornell, Wismer, Berczy, Greensborough and Box Grove, were finished with builder packages: Whirlpool, GE and Frigidaire units installed the week the family moved in. Those appliances are now fifteen to twenty-five years old, and they fail in the same handful of ways street after street. Fridge evaporator fans and defrost heaters, dryer heating elements, dishwasher drain pumps, washer door locks. We carry all of those parts on the truck because in Markham we replace them every day.

Downtown Markham and the towers along Highway 7 and Warden are the opposite problem. Compact 24-inch dishwashers, stacked ventless dryers and counter-depth fridges that many repair shops decline. We service them, we book the service elevator, and we give the concierge notice before arriving.

Then there is older Markham: Milliken Mills, Thornlea and Unionville's Main Street area, where 1970s and 80s homes have been through one or two appliance replacements already and often run gas ranges. Gas work is done by a licensed technician.

What it costs

Pricing depends on the appliance, the brand, the fault and the part, so we do not publish a price list. Tell us what it is doing and we will tell you what to expect before anyone comes out. Call or email for a quote.

What we repair in Markham

• Fridge repair in Markham: not cooling, freezer frosting over, water under the fridge, ice maker stopped. Samsung and LG French-door units lead the call list in Cornell and Wismer.
• Washer repair in Markham: won't spin or drain, leaking door seal, OE and F21 error codes, banging on spin.
• Dryer repair in Markham: no heat, damp clothes after a full cycle, squealing. Long vent runs in Markham's two-storey homes clog and trip the thermal fuse; we clear the vent as part of the repair.
• Dishwasher repair in Markham: not draining, dishes still dirty, leaking underneath. Bosch, KitchenAid and Samsung dominate Markham kitchens.
• Oven and stove repair in Markham: oven not heating, burner dead, temperature running off, gas burner won't light.

How soon can you come to Markham?

Call or email and we will tell you the earliest available appointment. No-cooling fridges and active leaks get priority.

Coverage is all of Markham: Unionville, Cornell, Cachet, Berczy, Wismer, Greensborough, Milliken Mills, Angus Glen, Markville, Box Grove, Thornlea, Buttonville and Downtown Markham. We are constantly at Highway 7 and Warden, Kennedy and 16th Avenue, Markham Road and the 407, and McCowan and Bur Oak.

Repair or replace?

The rule of thumb: if the appliance is under about ten years old and the repair is well under the cost of a comparable new one, repair usually wins. On premium built-ins that is true almost regardless of age, because replacement runs into five figures and has to fit existing cabinetry. Sealed-system leaks on freestanding fridges, cracked washer tubs and control boards that are no longer made are the usual exceptions. We tell you which side of that line you are on before any work starts, so you are not throwing money at a lost cause.
