The wire burned up on the thermostat in this Samsung dryer, causing it to no longer produce heat. This happens occasionally with these cheap connectors. In this case, the thermostat was still working. #appliancerepair #dryerrepair #thermostat #dryernotheating #vancouver

The control board failed on this Whirlpool dryer and it melted all the wiring. This is the worst I've seen by far. The wiring paperwork was in there too, which had been on fire. Don't leave the house with your appliances running! #appliancerepair #dryerrepair #dryerfire #controlboard #vancouver

The thermistor failed on this Kenmore (Frigidaire) dryer, causing it to stop running mid-cycle. It's a quick, cost effective repair. #appliancerepair #dryerrepair #thermistor #vancouver

The control board failed on this Kenmore dryer. It is a pricey repair and not always a cost effective solution, depending on the age and condition of the machine. Fortunately, this customer takes immaculate care of their appliances. #appliancerepair #dryerrepair #controlboard #kenmore #f01 #vancouver

There was a big tear in the door seal on this Maytag washer. Not much to say about this one, except empty your pockets before doing laundry! #appliancerepair #washerepair #doorgasket #leakingwasher #leak

The drum on this Frigidaire washer is just a little out of place. The bearing has been destroyed, among other issues. Sometimes, it is more cost effective to replace the appliance. #appliancerepair #washerepair #bearing #vancouver

The motor seized and the idler pulley failed on this Samsung dryer. There is so much lint inside, they are lucky there wasnt a fire. It came close, as you can see how charred it is by the heating element. This can happen if your dryer is not venting properly. #appliancerepair #dryerrepair #idlerpulley #seizedmotor #firehazard #dryerfire #vancouver

Dryer breakdowns can be a blessing. The belt broke on this Frigidaire washer/dryer combo unit. The electronics were completely covered in lint, which could result in a fire. Make sure you clean out the lint trap before every load! #appliancerepair #dryerrepair #lint #firehazard #vancouver

The heating element failed on this Frigidaire washer/dryer combo unit. The replacement is a bit expensive, but has a new thermostat and thermal fuse included. You can keep the old ones just in case the new ones ever fail. #appliancerepair #dryerrepair #heatingelement #thermalfuse #thermostat #vancouver

The door seal on this LG washer needed replacement. Here is the washer without the seal or weights. I often recommend LG products because I work on them the least out of all the brands that I work on. #appliancerepair #washerepair #doorgasket #lgappliances #vancouver

This is a failed control board from a Frigidaire range. The model is a basic unit, making it a reasonably priced repair. On most ovens, the control board is quite expensive. #appliancerepair #ovenrepair #controlboard #vancouver

The heating element failed on this Frigidaire dryer. They can just burn out over time. If your dryer isnt heating, it could also be a blown thermal fuse or thermostat. #appliancerepair #dryerrepair #dryernotheating #heatingelement #vancouver

This is a worn out bearing kit from an old Frigidaire dryer. When the bearing fails, your dryer will make loud grinding or squeaking noises. It is a simple repair and the parts are inexpensive. #appliancerepair #dryerrepair #bearing #noisydryer #vancouver

This Whirlpool washer had a clogged drain filter. Many washers have a small door to access this. On this model, it is hidden behind a removable panel across the bottom, held in place by three screws underneath. If your washer is not draining, this is the first thing to check. You may not need a technician. Just remember, a lot of water will come out. #appliancerepair #washerrepair #cloggeddrain #washernotdraining #vancouver

Here is a blown control board from a Kenmore oven. There is nothing you can really do to prevent this issue and, unfortunately, it is pricey to replace. #appliancerepair #ovenrepair #controlboard #vancouver

This is a failed lid switch from an old Whirlpool top load washer. These break often because they are just glued together and dropping the lid closed can easily damage them. An easy way to prevent this issue from happening is to close the lid gently every time. #appliancerepair #washerrepair #lidswitch #washernotdraining #vancouver

There was a coin in the drain pump of this Frigidaire washer, preventing it from draining. This can damage the pump, so it is best not to run the machine until it has been remedied. #appliancerepair #washerrepair #cloggeddrain #washernotdraining #vancouver

Here is a blown thermal fuse on a Kenmore dishwasher. When this happens, your dishwasher will have no power. They are cheap and simple to replace. #appliancerepair #dishwasherrepair #thermalfuse #nopower #vancouver

This is a failed idler pulley on an old Maytag dryer. You can see all the rubber from the belt. This is usually the cause of broken belts, but it is an inexpensive repair. It also gives you the opportunity to give it a good cleaning and grease the rollers. #appliancerepair #dryerrepair #dryernotspinning #brokenbelt #idlerpulley #vancouver

Here is another example of what happens when you dont let the door seal on your washer dry after use. Using too much soap is another culprit. This one is, by far, the worst Ive ever seen. #appliancerepair #washerrepair #doorgasket #mold #vancouver

This is a failed bake element from a KitchenAid wall oven. Like a light bulb, elements can burn out over time. It is a relatively easy repair, but the hidden ones can be a bit tricky to replace. #appliancerepair #ovenrepair #bakeelement #burntout #vancouver

If your washer is ever leaking out of the front of the door, your issue is soap build up on the bottom of the glass. There is usually some hair stuck in there too, especially if you have pets. Most people dont notice this, so check it out before calling a repair technician. #appliancerepair #washingmachinerepair #washerepair #leakingwasher #vancouver

The drain catch and the tub to drain hose were packed full of shredded credit cards and debit cards on this Whirlpool washer. Surprisingly, it was still draining but these cards also cut holes in the door gasket. It is amazing how much damage plastic cards can do to a washing machine. #appliancerepair #washerrepair #cloggeddrain #doorgasket #creditcards #vancouver

If your washer ever has trouble draining, this is the first thing to check. You can save yourself the cost of a service call. Remember that quite a bit of water will come out, so be ready for that. #appliancerepair #washerrepair #washernotdraining #cloggeddrain #drain #vancouver

I reached a milestone today. I have fifty 5-star reviews on Google! g.page/petes-appliance-repair Thank you so much to all my customers who took the time to share their experience with me! You have really helped me to build and grow my company! What a way to bring in the new year!

One of the wheels broke off the rack adjuster on this Whirlpool dishwasher. This repair was relatively cheap, but the rack adjusters can get quite pricey on some models. #appliancerepair #dishwasherrepair #dishrack #adjuster #vancouver

The impeller came loose on the drain pump from this LG washer. It is an older machine, so I believe this happened from wear and tear over time. #appliancerepair #washerrepair #drainpump #washernotdraining #vancouver

This is another washer where the hoses have been chewed up by mice. Those little buggers sure can do some damage to your appliances. #appliancerepair #washerrepair #mice #leakingwasher #vancouver

Here is a drain pump from an LG washer that failed mechanically. This damage was caused by bobby pins that had worked their way into the pump. Save yourself some bucks and empty your pockets before throwing your clothes in the wash! #appliancerepair #washerrepair #drainpump #washernotdraining #vancouver

This is a failed thermostat from Whirlpool dryer. If this happens, your dryer will not produce any heat. A failed thermal fuse or heating element can also cause this issue. #appliancerepair #dryerrepair #thermostat #dryernotheating #vancouver

This drain pump from a Whirlpool washer failed mechanically. The washer also needed new shocks, a door gasket and the bearing was starting to grind. Sometimes, it is more cost effective to replace the appliance. #appliancerepair #washerrepair #drainpump #vancouver

The idler pulley failed on this Samsung dryer. It may have been a blessing, as there was a fire hazard beginning to form. The lint trap should be cleaned before every use. It is also a good idea to have your dryer checked annually for this issue. #appliancerepair #dryerrepair #idlerpulley #firehazard #vancouver

A big rock managed to work its way down into the drain pump of this old Maytag washer. Fortunately, the pump was not damaged because of it. Empty your pockets before doing laundry! #appliancerepair #washerrepair #maytag #drainpump #vancouver

The defrost timer failed on this fridge, causing the freezer to ice up and freeze over the drain. If you ever have this issue, they are cheap to replace. #appliancerepair #fridgerepair #defrosttimer #vancouver

This is a drain pump from a Whirlpool washer. It tested positive electrically, but has failed mechanically. If your washer is really loud during the drain cycle, this may be your issue. #appliancerepair #washerrepair #drain #drainpump #vancouver

I havent seen this one before. Three hoses needed to be replaced on this Samsung washer because mice chewed holes in them. If you have mice in your laundry room, do something about it before you have costly repairs needed to your appliances. #appliancerepair #washerrepair #mice #hoses #vancouver

These dirty coils caused this refrigerator to stop cooling adequately. This is something that can be checked before calling a repair technician. If it still does not cool properly after the coils have been cleaned, the drain may also be frozen over. #appliancerepair #refrigeratorrepair #dirtycoils #frozendrain #vancouver

The drain froze over in this Samsung refrigerator. It is a common occurrence. This one froze all the way up into the fan, stopping it from spinning. If you have a Samsung fridge, and you are getting water leaking into your crisper drawers, this is whats happening. #appliancerepair #refrigeratorrepair #frozendrain #samsungfridge #vancouver

This LG dishwasher had a wad of hair (?) wrapped around the circulation motor shaft. It worked its way between the shaft and the seal, allowing water to seep through, which damaged the motor. Its a fairly quick job to replace this, but it is a little expensive. #appliancerepair #dishwasherrepair #circulationpump #vancouver
