Customer states that the OEM handle for the microwave is discontinued and no servicer is willing to work on it. Tech inspected and found the microwave door removed and fully disassembled. Customer had the handle replaced 11 years ago and the company used super glue to hold the handle to the door. Broken handle parts are stuck inside the door and super glued in place. Tech drilled out the broken plastic bits and customer installed the handle himself. Customer then assembled the door and tech helped customer reinstall it onto the hinge supports. Customer and tech opened and closed the door to verify operations. Door is now working. Job is complete.

"Customer states that the fridge fan is making noise and the ice maker is leaking water. Tech checked error codes and found 22e, 25e, 39e, and 40e errors active. Unit has frozen up again. Tech checked the door closure and the compartment seals. All seals are supple and all door closures are working properly. Tech inspected fresh food evaporator cover and inspected the ice room with the ice bin removed. Air ducting in the rear panel is blocked with rime ice and chunks of ice. Ice room is filled with rime ice and large clusters of ice. Both issues have returned. Tech removed ice room components and removed the evaporator cover. All previously replaced parts are functioning as intended and none have failed. Issue has still returned, none-the-less. Tech discussed with the homeowner and explained that none of the components have failed and all are installed properly. All updates published by the manufacturer have been done multiple times with little or no success. Due to today's findings, tech is deeming this fridge unrepairable due to the repeat nature of the failure. Tech believes that insulation has broken down and the refrigerant lines have shifted over the past 8-9 years, leaving the customer with a fridge that is repeating its failures and has no hope of being fixed. Updated parts, replacement parts, and updated techniques and tricks have all been unsuccessful at permanently fixing these problems. Customer should contact her warranty to work on a buy out or exchange. Job is complete. ; dspstn on spec-tagged invntry: 1 DA32-10104N SENSOR and 1 DA82-01415A WATER LEAKAGE KIT"

"Customer says that the dryer started to run loudly after the storms came through. Customer cleaned out her vent and found a lot of very wet lint. Dryer now runs more smoothly but wants it inspected. Tech started dryer and dryer sounds fairly normal. No unusual vibrations or scraping sounds. Disassembled partially and removed the door to inspect interior. Interior is clean (dryer is only 13 or 14 months old) and the blower area has no lint. Blower area does show signs of water, indicating that a vent blockage or rain intrusion may have previously occurred. Reassembled and ran additional tests but found the dryer working well. Tech went outside home to inspect the venting and found the airflow leaving the home at 18-19 mph. Dryer passes all testing and tech finds no issues at this time. Technician suspects that the customer clearing out the venting resolved the complaint. Job is complete."

"Customer met technician at the house and let tech inside. Customer pulled the fridge out for the technician to make machine easier to service. Tech asked a few exploratory questions and the customer says that he was having on and off ice maker issues over the past several weeks, indicating to the technician that a possible cooling issue has been present for some time. Tech measured temperatures of 57 in the freezer and 57-63 in the fridge. Compressor and both fans are on and actively running. Tech disassembled the freezer compartment and removed the evaporator cover. Ice ball has formed on the evaporator coil, confirming that a sealed system refrigeration failure has occurred. Due to the age of the fridge, all warranties have lapsed, and the manufacturer will not offer coverage or help on this repair. The compressor has failed internally (IE: inefficient compressor), or the evaporator coil has developed a pin-hole leak. Both failures require the same major repair to be made. Tech looked up a bluebook repair quote for a new compressor, filter drier, evaporator coil, refrigerant, and labor. Customer declined repair quote due to cost and age of the appliance. Job is complete."

Derek does it again! We don't trust anyone else with our appliance repairs- he's simply the best. We recently found out that our stoves heating element had actually caused a fire, which damaged the computer system. I was ready to just buy a whole new stove, but Derek assured us it was salvageable. He replaced the computer and heating element, and in the process saved us thousands of dollars. So grateful for him and Hometown Hero Appliance Repair!
