SAMSUNG WASHER

Anthony's performance was exemplary. He arrived promptly, provided a clear explanation, accurately diagnosed the issue, and efficiently completed the repair. Following this, he conducted comprehensive safety and performance evaluations on two separate occasions, concluding with a cycle test. He is, without doubt, one of the most proficient technicians to have serviced my residence. Well Done Kevin Halfpop

SAMSUNG REFRIGERATOR
RF28HMEDBSR/AA
This job turned out to be a little enigmatic! My ice maker had quit working, due to a leak and icing up inside the mechanism. Anthony got it defrosted and, before charging me for an expensive repair bill, he suggested I try contacting the manufacturer to see if they might cover it under an extended warranty, even though I was doubtful because the refrigerator is 7+ years old. He left for another job, I called the manufacturer and confirmed they couldn't help me, but then I noticed my refrigerator was completely not running at all! I thought maybe Anthony had forgotten to turn something back on, but couldn't figure it out, so I called Hometown Heroes back and they connected me with Anthony. He suggested I check my electrical panel for a tripped breaker and, sure enough, there was one, but when I tried to reset it, it kept tripping. By this time it was nearing 5:00 p.m. on a Friday afternoon, but Anthony came BACK to my house to figure out what went wrong! He did a bunch of trouble- shooting and eventually figured out the problem. He ended up replacing my ice maker at my request and my fridge and ice maker are again working beautifully. He didn't leave my house until almost 7 p.m. on a Friday night, but remained completely cordial, patient and kind (even when it required having to re-do/ re-submit paperwork!) My problem was an unusual one, but Anthony had a good understanding of what might be the cause and was able to fix it "after hours". I was SO appreciative of his knowledge, as well as his willingness to go above and beyond to be an excellent repairman!! Thank you, Anthony!

I had an excellent service experience. Good communication from the beginning. I texted requested photos prior to the appointment. Nick arrived and set to work. He explained the problem and fixed it. Very professional and pleasant. I will contact Hometeam Hero for any future appliance repairs. Highly recommend.

BOSCH DISHWASHER
SHP78CM5N/34
Even though it took three trips to fix the dishwasher, (had to order parts two different times), I was told up front what they felt was wrong with it. Rory showed me the damaged wire harness, which was the root cause of other things being damaged, including the circuit board necessitating a third trip. Hometown Hero techs took steps to help reduce the floor from being scratched when the dishwasher was pulled out. The repair was completed under manufacturer's warranty, for which Hometown Hero is qualified to repair. Will consider using Hometown Hero for other repairs on appliances not under warranty.
