Job Details: 12/04/2025
"Customer says that the coffee maker moves too much in the cabinetry. Also says that she is unable to use the coffee maker because the descaling operation needs to run and the machine won't complete the process. Tech inspected and found that the coffee maker sitting loose inside the cabinet. Issue was not present 3 weeks ago. Drainage system also appears to be clogged and that is why the descaling operation won't finish. Issues are completely unrelated to the previous visit out. Tech removed the stainless trim bezel which is just snapped into place with 4 hidden clips. Found only one mounting screw holding the unit into the cabinetry in the upper left hinge. Removed the coffee maker and flushed significant debris out of the drain line. Reinstalled the coffee maker and verified drainage is now occurring. Started the descale process, without cleaner, and machine runs through the entire process without issue. Tech added a second mounting screw to the lower right hand side of the machine and reinstalled the trim bezel. Issues are addressed. Job is complete."

Job Details: 12/04/2025
"Customer says that the unit won't make cappuccino or espresso after having it worked on. Tech started by dispensing 6oz of hot water, then an 8oz coffee. After both were successful, tech tried making an espresso. 2oz double shot of espresso is made without issue. Tech then added milk to the milk container and made a cappuccino and a latte. Both froth the milk appropriately and then add their double shots. After all coffees have been made, without issue, tech received a message to descale and clean the unit. Tech ran the coffee maker through the 25 minute descale process and no issues are observed. Drainage is still slow, but is occurring. No repairs are needed as no issues are detected today. Job is complete."

FISHER PAYKEL(H) DISHWASHER
Model DD603HM-SM
Near Omaha, Nebraska 68130
Derek
Job Details: 12/04/2025
"Customer states that the tip drawer is giving an error and not draining. Also had the dishwasher overfill and flood the house, so the water is turned off. Customer turned that water back on and the drawers do not fill on their own. Started a cycle in each drawer and monitored. The lower drawer drains, fills, and circulates without issue. The upper drawer drains out and then struggles to fill with water. After 5 minutes of fill, it errors out with a 'water tap' logo on the display. The rotor is extremely loud while running and the bearings have calcified. Tech removed the front panel to inspect the water system. Tech can now see that water is flowing constantly into the machine and the fill valve is faulty. Water is coming in but no electricity is supplied to the valve. Tech checked the shut off and fill hose under the sink. Shut off is heavily corroded along with all of thr plumbing under the sink. The fill line and both drain lines are spray foamed in place, making removal of the dishwasher for service very difficult. A mouse had made a nest inside the dishwasher and the pest control folks were likely trying to limit the movement of the rodent. Tech looked up parts for a quote and found that the fill valve is discontinued for this model. This unit has an on board softening system and the standard valve will not fit or work. 2.5L instead of 4L, and made for unobstructed flow vs flowing through the softening system. Repair can not be made. Tech turned the water supply off and explained findings to the customers. Customer have already purchased a replacement. Job is complete."

Customer has removed the items from the wine fridge prior to the technicians arrival. Tech removed the shelves and evaporator cover. Removed the faulty fan assembly and installed the updated part in place. Tech made sure to clock the fan 90 degrees so that the wiring fits back in place and does not get squished by the cover during reassembly. Tech then reinstalled the shelves and ran tests of the unit. The fan is working properly and zero noise is now occurring. Technician applied the $212.93 previously collected and collected the remaining balance of $364.16 today. Job is complete.
