Appliance Repair in Mentor
Lake County's biggest city, and a 51-minute run from our Parma base. Say what broke and you'll hear the price before a single part goes in.
One discount per visit. Mention it when you book.
Forty-seven thousand people, give or take. That makes Mentor the biggest city in Lake County by a long way. Up north you've got the Headlands and the longest public swimming beach in Ohio. Down south it runs past I-90. Mentor Avenue and the Great Lakes Mall sit in the middle, and we cover every bit of it.
From Parma it's close to 35 miles. Fifty-one minutes if the roads cooperate. So we'd like your exact model before we set off. The tag hides inside the door frame on most washers and dryers, and up on a side wall inside most fridges. Read it to us and the part rides along.
Split-levels and ranches from the 1970s
The Census puts the median Mentor house at 1974. Roughly 85 percent are lived in by their owners. Think split-levels and ranches with attached garages. Those kitchens are on their third fridge by now, easy. What's in them today mostly runs on circuit boards, not the clunky dial timers of the original owners.
Board-run machines break in their own way. A relay sticks. A thermistor drifts. Then the display flashes letters at you. Jot that code down before you pull the plug. A reset can wipe it, and it's the best clue we get.
Restaurants on Mentor Avenue
Mentor Avenue has a restaurant every few hundred yards. A walk-in cooler in a kitchen like that runs flat out from prep to cleanup. When it, or the ice machine, starts slipping, you can't wait a week. We fix commercial gear as well as home machines, and we'll come before you open or after the last table leaves.
Three checks that might save you a visit
Every so often a technician drives 35 miles to press a reset button. Nice for us, not for you. Try these first.
- Look for a tripped GFCIThat outlet in the garage with two little buttons? It trips on its own sometimes, and the garage fridge goes dark while the breaker panel looks perfectly fine. Push reset. If the compressor kicks on, you're done.
- Open both water valves fullySlow fill, or a code about water supply? Somebody may have bumped a valve behind the machine. Crank both handles all the way open and try again.
- Clean the dishwasher filterA puddle left in the tub after the cycle usually traces to the filter under the lower arm. Most twist out by hand. Rinse it in the sink. Gross, but free.
A dryer that suddenly needs two cycles deserves a look outside before you call. Walk around to the vent hood while it runs. No warm push of air means lint or a bird's nest, not a bad heater.
Still not working? Then it's a part, and that's our job. Our pre-call checklist has a few more checks by appliance.
Mentor ZIP codes
- 44060Mentor, OH
- 44061PO boxes
Your street address uses 44060. You'll also see 44061 around town, but that one is reserved for post office boxes. Mentor-on-the-Lake is its own city along the shore. We go there too.
Tap water here comes out of Lake Erie. Aqua Ohio runs a Mentor system that pulls from the lake, so well scale isn't the usual story. When a Mentor dishwasher stops cleaning, we look at food debris and a worn pump first.
Lake-effect snow and frozen lines
Mentor got 29.2 inches in the storm at the end of November 2024, per the National Weather Service. Roofs gave way in parts of Lake County. A deep freeze like that goes after thin water lines first. The quarter-inch tube feeding your ice maker is about as thin as it gets.
Ice maker stopped in a cold snap
Slide the fridge out a few inches so kitchen air reaches the line behind it. Give it a day. No ice by then? Call us.
Washer in a cold garage
Hoses that freeze can split as they thaw. On bitter nights, shut the valves. Next morning, look for drips before you start a load.
Appliances after the power returns
Give the house a few minutes before the big stuff starts up. Fridge humming but still warm hours later? The start relay might be fried.
Do you cover all of Mentor, including the Headlands?
Yes. Every street on 44060 is on our route, from the Headlands near the state park to the neighborhoods south of I-90. We also go to Mentor-on-the-Lake.
Can a technician come to Mentor today?
Quite often, yes. The trip takes us under an hour, so a weekday call that comes in early usually leaves room for an afternoon stop.
There are letters flashing on my washer. Do I unplug it?
Snap a photo of the display before anything else. One power cycle is fine to try. If those letters return, book a visit and send us the photo so the right part comes with us.
Is it worth fixing a fridge with a bad control board?
Usually, if the cabinet and sealed system are healthy. A board is a bolt-in part, and most fridges from the last fifteen years still have them available. If yours is old enough that the board is discontinued, we tell you before ordering anything.
Do you repair restaurant equipment in Mentor?
Yes. Coolers and ice machines are the usual calls, and commercial ovens too. We can come before opening or after the dinner rush.
How much does appliance repair cost in Mentor?
Depends what failed. After diagnosis there's a single quote for the part plus labor, and nothing gets swapped until you say go. Veterans and seniors take $30 off. First-timers get $20 off.
My fridge stopped making ice after a cold night. Is it broken?
Often the water line or fill tube froze. Give it a day in a warmer kitchen. Still no fill after that? The inlet valve may have cracked in the cold. We carry those.
