Appliance repair in St. Louis, the local picture
We repair refrigerators, ranges, ovens, dishwashers, washers, and dryers across all major brands in St. Louis, and we're an independent shop, so call us and tell us the noise, the smell, or the error code. A lot of our work here happens in basements. Brick two-flats in 63104 and the 63118-era neighborhoods often have the washer and dryer down a narrow set of stairs, tucked next to the furnace. We plan for that, and our techs carry what they need in one trip down instead of running up and back for parts. Hard water shows up here too. Scale builds on dishwasher heating elements and clogs the little spray holes, so dishes come out gritty and cloudy, and ice makers slow down for the same reason. Winter freeze-thaw is the other one we see all the time: a garage fridge that quits when the temperature drops, or a laundry drain line that backs up after a cold snap.

After the visit, in their words
“The kick panel came off, the coil got vacuumed, the fridge stopped roaring. Simple, honest work.”
Neil F.Clinton Township, MI“I asked a dozen questions and never felt rushed. The repair held through the holidays with a full house.”
Paula J.Lee's Summit, MO“Their guy caught a kinked drain hose the installer left behind years ago. Dishes finally come out clean.”
Ron E.Carmel, INAppliance repair in St. Louis — quick answers
How soon can someone come out to my St. Louis house?
Call us and we'll find the next open window that fits your day. We route by area, so downtown and south city stops often group together. If you can text a photo of the model tag, we'll check parts before we head out.
Do you go past the city limits?
Yes. Clayton and University City are under seven miles out, and we run to Jennings, Lemay, and Webster Groves regularly. Tell us your cross streets when you call and we'll confirm the route.
What does a repair visit cost?
Everything gets quoted in writing first, the visit, the parts, the labor, and work starts only when you approve.
Which brands do you repair?
As an independent shop we service every major brand, from Whirlpool and GE to LG, Samsung, Bosch and Frigidaire, gas and electric alike.
How it works
- Step 1
Tell us the symptom
Call us or fill out the form and describe what you hear, smell, or see. An error code helps. So does a puddle. We ask the brand and rough age so the van carries the parts we are likely to need.
- Step 2
We come look
Our technician tests the machine instead of guessing: water lines, heating elements, drain pumps, control boards. Then we explain what failed in plain words before any wrench turns.
- Step 3
Repair and clean up
Common parts ride with us, so a lot of repairs finish on that first visit. Special-order parts get scheduled right away. We run the cycle with you standing there, then haul off the old part and the packaging.

Why homeowners call us
- Hard water is our specialtyMidwest water leaves scale on everything it touches. Crusted dishwasher spray arms. Clogged ice maker lines, and washers and water heaters full of mineral buildup. We know what that grit does to valves and seals, so we treat the cause instead of the symptom.
- Basement laundry roomsBasement setups fail differently than upstairs ones, between the long drain runs, the cold concrete, and lint packed into a vent that runs through the rim joist. We check the venting and the drain path too, not only the machine, so the same problem does not come back.
- Freeze-thaw season readyGarage freezers quit in January. Ice makers stop when the supply line freezes, and dryers labor when the vent hood ices over. Seasonal swings break appliances in fairly predictable ways, and those are the first things we look at on a winter call.
- Independent, all major brandsWe are not tied to any manufacturer, so we work on whatever is sitting in your kitchen or laundry room: refrigerators, ranges, dishwashers, washers, dryers, freezers. One shop, one call, whatever badge is on the door.
- All major brands, gas & electricIndependent service on Whirlpool, LG, Samsung, GE, Maytag, Bosch, KitchenAid and the rest.
- Straight answersIf it isn't worth repairing, we'll say so, often right on the phone.
