Appliance Repair in Maple Heights
Maple Heights is roughly a 23 minute drive to the east. Send the request in the morning and we can often get a technician to your door that same day.
One discount per visit. Mention it when you book.
Going by the Census numbers half the houses in Maple Heights were built in 1955 or earlier, and you can usually feel that the second you head down the basement stairs. The washer sits down there by the old laundry tub. Upstairs the fridge is often a few inches wider than the spot the kitchen was framed for, and the shutoff valves have been in the wall about as long as the house has.
None of that is a reason to give up on a machine. It just means our technician checks the house side first and the appliance second, so you don't pay for a new pump when the real trouble is a clogged drain line. You hear what's wrong and one price for parts and labor, and nothing gets taken apart until you say go ahead.
One ZIP code and about ten miles from Parma
- 44137Maple Heights, OH
- 10 mifrom Parma 44129
The whole city is 44137, so it doesn't matter if you're up near Southgate USA or tucked on a side street by the Bedford line. For us it's the same drive from Parma, a bit over twenty minutes when the roads are empty and a fair bit longer at five o'clock.
Bedford picks up right where Maple Heights ends on the south side, and Garfield Heights is a couple of miles over to the west. They're on the same schedule as you are. Not sure your street counts? Grab any envelope and read us the ZIP, and if it says 44137 we're coming.
Laundry in a 1950s basement
In a basement this age the washer usually empties into a laundry tub or a standpipe near the floor drain. When water backs up, everybody blames the pump first. Sometimes that's right. But plenty of times the drain hose has been shoved too far down the pipe or there's a wad of lint sitting in the tub drain. The washer itself is doing nothing wrong.
So before any part gets ordered we look at what the machine is hooked up to. Old valves behind the washer get turned slowly, because a seized one can snap off in your hand. We glance at the dryer outlet too, since a loose or scorched plug will cook cords and thermal fuses over and over until somebody fixes the outlet.
Washer hums but won't drain? Run the tub faucet for a minute. If that water just sits there, you need a plumber before you need us.
Fridges and ranges in older kitchens
Kitchens from back then were planned around appliances a size smaller than what people buy today, and a couple of repairs come straight out of that.
A fridge boxed in by cabinets
Jam a modern fridge into an old opening and it can't breathe. The coils get hot and the compressor runs and runs while the top shelf creeps toward fifty degrees. We measure the gap and clean the coils before we even talk about parts.
A gas range that clicks
Igniters that spark and never catch are common on older ranges. Then again grease on a burner cap does the exact same thing, so we clean first and test after.
The basement chest freezer
Damp air by a floor drain is rough on hinges and the cabinet. If you see frost building along the lid gasket, the seal is probably going.
A dishwasher added later
When a dishwasher got squeezed into a remodel it often shares the sink drain. One kinked hose there and you'll find dirty water in the bottom after every load.
There's more about this in our guide to appliances in older homes, and the washer repair page goes through what we test on a laundry call.
Renting a house or apartment in Maple Heights
About 37 percent of homes here are rented, which means a broken appliance often has two people attached to it. One lives with it and the other pays for it.
- Look at your leasePlenty of leases spell out who handles appliance repair. If it's on the landlord, let them book us or at least get their OK before you call.
- Give us both numbersOur technician explains the fault to whoever is home and sends the price to whoever pays. Nothing starts until that person agrees.
- Hang on to the invoiceIt lists the part and the 90-day warranty, which is handy for a landlord to keep on file for the next tenant.
Who pays for what comes up a lot, and this article on rental repairs walks through how it usually splits.
When it cannot wait until tomorrow
You can send us a request any day of the week including Saturday, even though the technicians only drive Monday through Friday and on Sunday. Get it in before lunch and there's a decent shot we're at your place that same day.
Water across the basement floor
Shut both valves behind the washer and pull the plug. If the drum is still full, leave that door alone.
Fridge warm, freezer still cold
That's usually a fan or the defrost system. Keep the doors shut and move the milk and meat over to the freezer side.
Which ZIP code do you cover in Maple Heights?
The whole city is 44137, and we go anywhere in it. Neighboring Bedford and Garfield Heights are on the same route.
How far is Maple Heights from your base?
About ten miles from Parma, roughly 23 minutes without traffic. That short distance is why a morning request often turns into an afternoon visit.
My basement washer will not drain. Is it the pump?
Maybe. In older houses we first look at the pipe or tub the hose empties into, since a clog there looks exactly like a dead pump. If the house drain is clear, then we test the pump and the lid or door lock.
Is a 20 year old fridge in a Maple Heights kitchen worth fixing?
It depends on what failed. A fan or a defrost part is a fair repair. A refrigerant leak on an old unit usually is not, and you'll hear that before any money changes hands.
I rent my home. Can I book the repair myself?
Yes, though check your lease first. If the landlord pays, we can send the quote to them and wait for approval.
Do you offer discounts in Maple Heights?
Yes. A veteran or a senior saves thirty dollars, and a first-time customer saves twenty. Only one applies to each visit.
