Job Details: 11/20/2025
"Customer says that the washer won't fill up with enough water. She diagnosed the issue via Google as a bad pressure sensor, so she bought a new control board. Her son installed the new control board, and the washer won't work at all now. Customer wants the old computer put back in and issue diagnosed. Tech reinstalled the old control and connected newfi device. All errors are from 6 months ago or longer. Tech ran self diagnostic tests and they all pass, including the water level test. Washer successfully reaches 7 inches full before 2 minutes and 45 seconds have lapsed. Tech exited tests modes and ran two consumer cycles. Drain and spin, as well as speed wash, work properly and no issues are experienced by the technician. The transmission is making noise and the splutch/shifter components bang around pretty good while in low speed spin. The shock absorbers are becoming bouncy, leading to possible out of balance issues. Tech believes that some out of balance issues or some other hiccup has recently occurred, which misled customer into believing that the water level is too low, even though it is not. Tech explained findings to the customer. Customer understands that the washer is actually working properly but doesn't have the means to pay for the service call. Customer gave her son's phone number so tech called it. Number is for Ingersoll rand in Sioux city. Tech explained that she or her son needs to call in and pay for today's trip. Job is complete."

Customer says that she and her plumber called in and explained that the drain hose is damaged and needs replaced. Tech arrived and confirmed the description. Drain hose is disconnected and wrapped up under the sink. Tech checked hose and found that it can not be reused due to the damage being so close to the plastic corregated portion. Tech quoted for a replacement hose and the customer declined. Job is complete. ; dspstn on spec-tagged invntry: 1 KDW672PP D/W CONN 6'

Job Details: 11/20/2025
"Customer says that the wall oven doesn't heat. Also wants the coils cleaned in the fridge and freezer if possible (also has loose handles on thr fridge and freezer). Tech inspected the wall oven and verified complaint. Bake, convection, and broil do not generate heat. Motorized panel also does not articulate correctly. Tech used the serial number inside of the wolf serial lookup and pulled a model number for the machine. Checked the service manual for a tco, as it appears that a leg of power may be missing. The manual confirms that a tco is located on the back side of the unit and is resettable from the inside. Tech removed the fan and convection element. Tech reached inside the cavity and found that the tco does not have a reset button. Further testing can not be completed without pulling the oven and disassembling. Tech checked through the remainder of the service manual and found notes from Wolf that indicate a technician should replace the relay control and the tco together whenever one or the other fail. Tech provided a quote for both parts and the customer approved. Customer paid in full, up front, so tech placed parts on order and hopes to return before the holiday. Job is not complete. ; ordrng 1 807053 (Relay pcb) and 1 816277 (Tco)"

Derek was amazing. Very careful and meticulous, and very enjoyable to talk to. I keep calling Hometown Hero because you keep sending amazing techs. Your customer service rep (whose name I’ve forgotten) was also friendly helpful and knowledgeable. Thanks for continuing to taking good care of your customers and not enshitifying like most customer facing businesses today.
