Our Appliance Repair Services in Framingham

Refrigerator repair and freezer repair

Your refrigerator acts as the central hub of your kitchen, and any interruption in performance can lead to food waste and significant inconvenience. Modern refrigeration units are complex machines that rely on a synchronized system of sensors, fans, compressors, and control boards to maintain precise temperatures. When this system falters, you need a technician who understands the thermodynamics and electrical components involved. We service standard top freezer models, side by side units, French door configurations, and built in columns found in many renovated homes across Weston and Wayland. Prompt attention to temperature fluctuations is vital to preserving your groceries and preventing further strain on the compressor.

Common problems we fix

• Refrigerator is running but not cooling properly
• Freezer creates excessive frost buildup on the back wall
• Water is leaking onto the floor from underneath the unit
• Fresh food compartment is freezing vegetables and liquids
• Ice maker has stopped producing ice or dispenses slowly
• Unit makes loud clicking or buzzing noises
• Door seal is torn or does not close tightly
• Digital display is flashing error codes

How we approach the repair

Our diagnostic process begins with a thorough check of the sealed system and airflow components. We examine the condenser coils for debris that might impede heat dissipation, check the evaporator fan for proper rotation, and test the start relay and capacitor to ensure the compressor receives the correct voltage. Safety is our primary concern, so we also inspect electrical connections for any signs of wear or overheating. By isolating the specific component causing the failure, we can perform a repair that restores efficiency and extends the lifespan of your refrigerator. We aim for cooling systems that hold steady temperatures even during the humid Massachusetts summers.

Washing machine repair

A broken washing machine can cause laundry to pile up quickly, creating stress for families in busy areas like Saxonville and Ashland. Modern washers are designed with complex cycles and water saving features that require precise calibration. Whether you have a traditional top load agitator model or a high efficiency front loader, internal components can wear down over time due to vibration and heavy usage. Issues often manifest as drainage failures or spin cycle problems that leave clothes soaking wet. We understand the urgency of getting your laundry room back in working order.

Common problems we fix

• Washer fills with water but will not agitate or spin
• Machine vibrates excessively or walks across the floor
• Water remains in the drum after the cycle ends
• Washer is leaking water during the fill or drain cycle
• Lid or door remains locked after the cycle finishes
• Unit creates loud banging or grinding sounds
• Control board is unresponsive or buttons do not work
• Cycle stops mid wash and displays an error

How we approach the repair

We start by evaluating the drive system, including belts, pulleys, and direct drive motor couplings. For drainage issues, we inspect the drain pump and hoses for obstructions such as small articles of clothing or coins. Front load washers often require inspection of the door boot seal and latch assembly to prevent leaks and ensure the unit senses that the door is closed. We also test water inlet valves to ensure the machine fills to the correct level without overfilling. Our repairs focus on restoring the mechanical balance and electronic functions of the washer so it operates quietly and effectively.

Dryer repair, gas and electric

A functioning dryer is essential for completing the laundry process, especially during the cold Framingham winters when air drying is not practical. Dryers may seem simple, but they involve high voltage electricity or combustible gas, making professional service important for safety. We work on both gas and electric models, addressing issues ranging from lack of heat to drum rotation failures. Improperly functioning dryers not only fail to dry clothes but can also pose fire risks if lint buildup or electrical shorts are ignored. We help ensure your appliance operates safely.

Common problems we fix

• Dryer runs but produces no heat
• Clothes take multiple cycles to dry completely
• Drum spins but makes a loud squeaking or thumping noise
• Dryer will not start even though it has power
• Timer does not advance to the end of the cycle
• Unit gets too hot and damages clothing
• Burning smell comes from the appliance while running
• Push to start switch is broken or loose

How we approach the repair

Diagnosis begins with the heating element for electric units or the igniter and gas valve coils for gas models. We test thermal fuses and thermostats to ensure the machine regulates temperature correctly and cuts power in case of overheating. Airflow is critical for dryer performance, so we check the internal blower wheel and lint housing for blockages that restrict air movement. We also inspect the drum rollers, idler pulley, and belt to eliminate noise and ensure smooth rotation. Our goal is to ensure your dryer extracts moisture efficiently without wasting energy or risking safety.

Dishwasher repair

Dishwashers save time and sanitize dishes more effectively than hand washing, which is why a malfunction is so noticeable in a busy household. In areas with older plumbing infrastructure like parts of Downtown Framingham, water supply issues can sometimes mimic appliance failures. We are skilled at distinguishing between external supply problems and internal component failures. From wash pumps to drainage solenoids, we handle the mechanical and electrical aspects of your dishwasher. We service integrated hidden control models as well as portable units.

Common problems we fix

• Dishes come out dirty or covered in residue
• Water pools in the bottom of the tub after the cycle
• Dishwasher leaks onto the kitchen floor
• Unit does not fill with water
• Wash cycle takes hours longer than normal
• Detergent dispenser door does not open
• Control panel lights blink or buttons do not respond
• Rack wheels are broken or track is misaligned

How we approach the repair

We verify that the circulation pump is moving water with enough force to rotate the spray arms. If cleaning is poor, we check the spray arm holes for debris and the chopper blade for food particles. Drainage issues often point to a failed drain pump or a blockage in the check valve. We also inspect the door gasket and tub alignment to solve leak issues. Electronic controls are tested to ensure the heating element activates to dry the dishes properly. We focus on getting your dishwasher to clean and sanitize effectively.

Oven range and cooktop repair

Cooking appliances are the heart of family gatherings, and a broken oven or range can ruin dinner plans. We service electric ranges, gas stoves, wall ovens, and cooktops. Accurate temperature control is the most critical aspect of these appliances. If an oven runs too hot or too cold, baking becomes impossible. We are familiar with the dual fuel ranges often found in renovated kitchens in Weston and the standard slide in ranges common in Framingham apartments. We handle issues with surface burners, baking elements, and self cleaning latches.

Common problems we fix

• Oven does not reach the set temperature
• Gas burner clicks continuously but does not light
• Electric burner element does not heat up
• Oven door is locked and will not open
• Baking or broiling element is physically damaged
• Temperature is uneven resulting in burnt food
• Control board displays an error code
• Glass cooktop is cracked or scratched

How we approach the repair

For electric ovens, we test the resistance of the bake and broil elements and inspect the wiring for signs of arcing. In gas ovens, we evaluate the igniter, safety valve, and burner tube. Temperature inaccuracies often require testing the oven sensor or calibrating the control board. For cooktops, we examine the infinite switches and surface elements. We always verify that safety mechanisms, such as tip over brackets and door locks, are functioning as intended. Our repair ensures you can cook with precision and confidence.

Microwave repair

Microwaves are often treated as disposable, but high end built in models and over the range units are worth repairing. These appliances rely on high voltage components to generate heat quickly. A microwave that sparks or fails to heat requires professional attention due to the presence of a high voltage capacitor that can retain a charge even when unplugged. We work on built in drawers, convection microwaves, and standard countertop models. We help you avoid the hassle of finding a replacement unit that fits your specific cabinetry dimensions.

Common problems we fix

• Microwave runs but does not heat food
• Turntable plate does not rotate
• Sparks or arcing occur inside the cooking cavity
• Touchpad is unresponsive
• Unit shuts off after a few seconds of operation
• Door latch is broken preventing operation
• Interior light bulb is out
• Exhaust fan on over the range models is not working

How we approach the repair

We test the magnetron, diode, and capacitor to ensure the heating system is generating microwaves. Door interlock switches are a common failure point that we inspect to ensure the unit does not operate when the door is open. If the unit is sparking, we check the waveguide cover and stirrers. We handle the delicate plastic components of the door assembly with care. Our technicians focus on safety and restoring the convenience of quick heating.

Ice maker repair

An ice maker is a luxury that becomes a necessity, especially during entertaining or warm weather. Whether your ice maker is integrated into your refrigerator or is a standalone under counter unit, it relies on a precise cycle of water fill, freeze, and harvest. Issues with water quality or mechanical jams can stop production instantly. We service ice makers in French door fridges and dedicated ice machines found in wet bars in Fayville and surrounding areas.

Common problems we fix

• Ice cubes are hollow or small
• Ice maker is leaking water into the bin
• No ice is being produced at all
• Ice tastes bad or has an odor
• Dispenser chute is clogged with frost
• Ejector arm is stuck
• Unit makes loud grinding noises during harvest

How we approach the repair

We check the water inlet valve and supply line to ensure adequate water pressure is reaching the mold. If the mold thermostat is defective, the ice maker may not cycle, so we test temperature sensors. We also inspect the motor module that drives the ejector arms. If the mold coating is peeling, we can address that component. Our goal is to ensure you have a steady supply of clean and fully formed ice.
