APPLIANCE TROUBLE?

Contact Us On The Double!

When your washer stops mid-cycle, your refrigerator warms up, or your oven won’t heat on a school night, you need someone who answers the phone and shows up. Area Appliance Repair Service has been repairing home appliances for Arlington Heights families since 1958. We work on refrigerators, washers, dryers, dishwashers, ovens, stoves, and cooktops from every major brand, and we tell you what’s wrong and what it costs before any repair begins.

Appliance Repair Services in Arlington Heights

We repair the major appliances in Arlington Heights homes, from older ranch-style kitchens to newer townhomes and condos:

  • Refrigerators, freezers, and ice makers
  • Washing machines
  • Dryers
  • Dishwashers
  • Ovens, ranges, stoves, and cooktops
  • Range hoods and exhaust fans

Refrigerator and Freezer Repair in Arlington Heights

A refrigerator that stops cooling puts a week of groceries at risk, so we treat it as urgent. We repair standard, side-by-side, French-door, and freezer-drawer models.

Common refrigerator and freezer problems we fix:

  • Not cooling or not staying cold
  • Freezer cold but refrigerator warm
  • Water leaking inside or under the unit
  • Ice maker not making ice, or making too little
  • Frost build-up or a frozen evaporator
  • Loud humming, clicking, or buzzing
  • Door not sealing properly

Washing Machine Repair in Arlington Heights

Whether your washer is a top-loader, a front-loader, or a high-efficiency model, we diagnose the problem on site and explain the options.

Common washer problems we fix:

  • Won’t drain or leaves water in the drum
  • Won’t spin or won’t agitate
  • Leaking from the door, hoses, or bottom
  • Shaking, banging, or loud noises
  • Won’t start or stops mid-cycle
  • Won’t fill with water, or won’t stop filling

Dryer Repair in Arlington Heights

Gas and electric dryers fail in familiar ways. We repair both.

Common dryer problems we fix:

  • Not heating, or running but not drying
  • Takes multiple cycles to dry a load
  • Won’t start or won’t turn on
  • Drum won’t turn
  • Squealing, thumping, or grinding noises
  • Burning smell or overheating, which is a safety issue: stop using the dryer and call us

A clogged vent is one of the most common causes of long dry times and overheating. If your dryer takes too long to dry, we’ll check the vent as part of the diagnosis.

Dishwasher Repair in Arlington Heights

Common dishwasher problems we fix:

  • Won’t drain, or standing water at the bottom
  • Dishes not coming out clean
  • Dishes still wet at the end of the cycle
  • Leaking onto the kitchen floor
  • Won’t start or won’t latch
  • Bad smells

Oven, Stove, and Cooktop Repair in Arlington Heights

We repair gas and electric ovens, ranges, stoves, and cooktops.

Common oven and cooktop problems we fix:

  • Oven won’t heat, or heats unevenly
  • Temperature not accurate
  • Gas burners that won’t ignite, or take too long to light
  • Electric burners not heating
  • Unresponsive controls or a blank display
  • Sparks or clicking that won’t stop

Safety first: if you smell gas, leave the house and call your gas utility or 911 before calling us.

Brands We Repair

We service the major brands Arlington Heights homeowners own, including Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, Samsung, LG, GE, Amana, and KitchenAid, and more. If you don’t see your brand listed, call and ask.

How Our Service Works

  1. Call or send the form. We’ll ask about the appliance, the brand, and what it’s doing.
  2. We schedule the visit. Same-day or next-day appointments whenever possible.
  3. We diagnose the problem. Our service fee covers the trip to your home and the diagnostic work, so you know where you stand before parts or labor are added.
  4. You get an upfront quote. We explain the problem and the cost before starting any repair.
  5. We repair it and test it. Many repairs are completed on the first visit when we can get the right part.

Repair or Replace?

Not every broken appliance is worth fixing. As a general guideline:

  • If the repair costs more than about half the price of a comparable new unit, and the appliance is 10 or more years old, replacement is often the better value.
  • If the appliance is newer, or the repair is minor, repair usually makes sense.

We’ll give you an honest opinion. We’d rather you spend your money well than spend it on a repair that won’t last.
