Appliance Repair in Copley Township
Copley is a township west of Akron, about 38 minutes from us in Parma. Subdivisions sit next to farmland out there, and we come out to both.
One discount per visit. Mention it when you book.
Copley isn't a city, it's a township run by three trustees. Akron is on the east side, with Fairlawn up in the northeast corner. Norton is to the south. Out west it runs up against Sharon Township in Medina County. Pigeon Creek in the northwest and Montrose along the Bath line are both part of it.
From our base it's around 27 miles. Call and describe what the machine is doing. The likely parts come along in the van. You get a price before we start anything.
Akron water or your own well
Akron's water department serves part of Copley, not all of it. Which side of that you're on changes what wears out first in a washer or dishwasher.
That's treated surface water from Lake Rockwell and the upper Cuyahoga. Inlet screens and dishwasher filters still need a rinse now and then. Scale shows up, sure, but it takes years.
A well brings up whatever is down there in the rock. Around here that can be hard water, sometimes iron too. Orange streaks in the washer tub are the iron. White crust on the dishwasher arms is the hardness. A softener upstream of the appliances helps more than any part we could replace.
Not sure which you have? Your water bill tells you. No bill from a utility, and you're on a well. We wrote more on what hard water does to machines.
Houses from the nineties and their first appliances
The median home in Copley was built around 1992, which makes the housing here a lot younger than Akron's, where the median is 1954. If you bought one of those houses new, the appliances it came with have probably been swapped by now. If you bought later, you may have inherited whatever the last owner left.
- Find out how old it isLook at the serial number on the tag. On most brands a couple of those characters are the year it was built, they just don't make it obvious. Read the whole thing to us over the phone and we'll decode it.
- Think about the part, not the ageWe've got no problem fixing a fifteen-year-old washer if all it needs is a lid switch. On the flip side, a fridge that's five years old with a refrigerant leak can be a bad bet. So the birthday on the tag only tells you half of it.
- Check the second floor laundryWasher upstairs, down the hall from the bedrooms? Then a leak doesn't stay on the floor, it comes through somebody's ceiling. Braided steel hoses run maybe twenty bucks at the hardware store. Put a pan under the machine while you're at it.
- Mind the builder-grade stuffBuilders like to put in whatever's cheapest that still passes. Those machines aren't junk, but they don't always last like the one you'd have picked. Get our quote, then go look at what a new one costs, and compare.
Bought the house a few years back and have no clue how old anything is? Totally normal. Send us a photo of each tag and we'll tell you what you've got before anything breaks.
Common problems in Copley Township homes
French door fridges
Water under the drawers, or an ice maker that quits. On these models the drain under the freezer floor can freeze solid, and the leak shows up in the fresh food side.
Front-load washers
A musty smell or a drain error. Pull the small filter at the bottom front and see what's in there. Coins and hair ties turn up all the time.
Burners that tick
Burners that click and won't catch, or an oven that's slow to light. The igniter weakens with age and is a quick swap.
Dryers on long runs
When the laundry is upstairs, the vent may run a long way to the roof or a side wall. It needs cleaning more often than a short one.

Copley ZIP code and its neighbors
- 44321Copley, OH
Copley's ZIP is 44321. Officially the post office calls it Akron, but Copley is accepted too, so either one on the envelope is fine. Bits of that ZIP run into Medina County too. We cover the whole township plus the towns that border it.
Do you cover all of Copley Township?
Yes. That includes Pigeon Creek and Montrose and everything in between. If your mail says Akron 44321, you're most likely in Copley and we'll come out.
How far is Copley from your Parma base?
About 27 miles, roughly 38 minutes when traffic is light. A call early in the morning on a weekday has the best chance of a visit that same day.
I have well water. Is that bad for my dishwasher?
It can be, depending on what's in the well. Hard well water leaves scale on heaters and spray arms. Iron shows up as rust stains. A softener or an iron filter on the main line helps everything downstream. Past that, pull the dishwasher filter every couple of weeks and run a cleaning tablet once a month. Front-loaders like a hot cleaning cycle too.
Is my 1990s builder-grade fridge worth repairing?
If it's the original from around 1992, probably not, unless it's something small like a fan. A newer replacement that's ten years old or less is often worth fixing. We'll give you the price and our honest take.
Can you fix an upstairs washer that leaks into the ceiling?
Yes. First thing, shut off the two taps behind the washer and throw some towels down. Take a picture of the ceiling stain below if there is one, your insurance might want it. Then call us and we'll trace where the water is coming from.
Do you service businesses in Copley?
Yes, and we can work early or late so the kitchen isn't down during service. Restaurants and offices in the township phone us when a walk-in cooler warms up or an ice machine stops dropping cubes. Commercial ovens too.
Which discounts apply in Copley?
Same as everywhere we go. Veterans and seniors each save $30. First time with us? That one's $20 off. You can use one of them per visit, so pick the biggest and mention it on the phone.
