Appliance Repair in Ahwatukee

Ahwatukee sits on the other side of the I-10 from Chandler, tucked against South Mountain, and for us it is a next-door neighbour: a short run across the freeway rather than a trip across the valley. It is also one of the more uniform places we work. Most of it went up between the early 1980s and the early 2000s, so a lot of homes are on their second set of appliances, and that second set is now reaching the age where things go.

Repaired in your home. Nothing to transport. We work on the appliance where it stands. You don't unplug anything, you don't find a van, and you don't wait for a bench slot at a shop.

That is the whole of Ahwatukee, from the older side by the freeway to the Foothills against the mountain.

What actually fails here, by part of town

The older Ahwatukee and Lakewood side (85044).

The original 1970s and 1980s development, plus Lakewood and the streets around the Ahwatukee Lakes. The original appliances are long gone; what is in the kitchen now is usually a 2000s replacement, and a 2000s refrigerator is squarely at control-board and compressor age. Side-by-sides from that era are the single most common refrigerator we see here.

Mountain Park Ranch and the Foothills (85044, 85048).

Late 1980s through the 1990s. Bigger kitchens, more built-in detail, and a lot of 1990s houses with the original built-in wall oven still in place, which is a limit for us, see below. The refrigerators and laundry in these houses are mostly 2005-to-2015 replacements, and the washers in particular are reaching the drain-pump and bearing stage.

Club West and the Foothills Reserve (85045, 85048).

The newest part, mostly late 1990s and 2000s. These are the kitchens where the appliances put in with the house are now eighteen to twenty-five years old, and where a single remodel has often swapped the refrigerator for a French-door and left everything else original.

Garages, all across Ahwatukee.

The second refrigerator in the garage dies early here for the same reason it does everywhere in the valley: a closed garage in summer is far hotter than a domestic refrigerator is rated for, so the compressor never stops. Usually fixable; always worth asking about ventilation before we fit a part.

The jobs we get called out for in Ahwatukee

  • A refrigerator warm on one side. Freezer fine, fresh food not. On the 2000s side-by-sides that is usually a defrost fault or a dead fan, fixed on the spot.
  • An ice maker that stopped in summer.
  • A washer that will not drain or spin, or a front-loader that walks across the laundry room on spin.
  • An electric dryer that runs cold, or takes two cycles to dry a load. Often a vent that has never been cleaned rather than the dryer itself; see dryer vent cleaning.
  • LG refrigerators and washers. We are LG-certified technicians. If your LG compressor is still inside LG's own warranty term, we tell you before you spend anything. See what that warranty covers.

What we do not do, before you call us about it

  • Built-in wall ovens. The 1990s Foothills kitchens have a lot of them. Wired into the wall by design, and not work we take on today.
  • Anything gas. Gas range, gas cooktop, gas dryer. Ahwatukee has more gas than Chandler does. If you are not sure what yours is, call and ask; it is one question.

A freestanding electric range, a plug-in cooktop, an electric dryer: those we book. The oven and range page and cooktop page spell out the difference.

How long it takes us to reach you

Across the I-10 and up Chandler Boulevard or Ray Road. It is one of the shortest trips we make outside Chandler itself, so the arrival window is a tight one. Same day where we can, and for a refrigerator with food at risk, say so when you book and we will tell you honestly what the day looks like.

What will it cost?

We don't publish prices, because we'd be guessing. The same symptom can turn out to be a small part or a control board, and a number on a web page that turns out to be wrong is worse than no number.

Here is what we do instead, on every job:

We diagnose the fault first.

We give you a firm written quote before any work starts. In writing, not a doorstep estimate, so you can read it, think about it, or send it to someone else.

Nothing is repaired without your approval.

If you decide not to go ahead, you pay the diagnostic and we leave. No pressure, no part fitted "while we're here".

You have 48 hours to cancel.

Even after you approve. You have 48 hours to cancel or move an appointment, in writing. After that we collect the service call charge, which covers the diagnosis, the travel and the visit itself. We give you that notice in writing when you approve the repair, with the forms to use.

Tell us what it’s doing

Two minutes on the form. You get a request number straight back, and we call you to agree a time.
