Our Appliance Repair Services in Westborough
Refrigerator Repair and Freezer Repair
Your refrigerator is the centerpiece of the kitchen and the only appliance that must run twenty-four hours a day. When it fails, the clock starts ticking on food safety and waste. In Westborough, where humidity can fluctuate and impact cooling efficiency, maintaining a steady internal temperature is vital. A breakdown is more than an inconvenience; it disrupts meal planning and daily schedules. We recognize the urgency of refrigeration issues and prioritize getting your unit back to optimal performance. Our technicians understand the complex thermodynamics involved in modern cooling systems, from dual evaporators to smart sensors.
Common problems we fix:
- Refrigerator is running but not cooling properly
- Frost buildup in the freezer or on the back wall
- Water leaking onto the floor or inside the crisper drawers
- Loud humming or clicking noises coming from the compressor
- Ice dispenser or water dispenser is not working
- Door seals are torn or not closing tightly
- Fresh food compartment is freezing items
- Digital temperature controls are unresponsive
How we approach the repair:
We begin by analyzing the airflow and temperature regulation systems. Often, the issue stems from a blocked vent, a failing defrost heater, or dirty condenser coils rather than a total compressor failure. We inspect the sealed system components and electrical relays to pinpoint the exact cause of the temperature variance. Our goal is to ensure the unit cycles correctly, maintaining safe temperatures for food preservation without overworking the motor. We treat your kitchen floors with care while moving heavy units to access rear panels.
Washing Machine Repair
A washing machine is essential for keeping up with the demands of family life, sports uniforms, and work clothes. When a washer malfunctions, laundry piles up instantly. In older Westborough homes, drainage and plumbing connections can sometimes complicate washer issues, while modern high-efficiency units often face electronic control problems. A functional washer requires the perfect synchronization of water intake, agitation, drainage, and spinning. When one part of this cycle fails, the entire machine becomes a burden rather than a helper.
Common problems we fix:
- Washer fills with water but will not agitate or spin
- Machine is making loud banging or grinding noises
- Water is leaking from the bottom or door seal
- Washer does not drain completely leaving clothes soaking wet
- Error codes appearing on the digital display
- Door or lid remains locked after the cycle ends
- Excessive vibration or walking across the floor
- Unpleasant odors or mold buildup in the gasket
How we approach the repair:
Our diagnostic process involves testing the drive system, pumps, and sensors. For front-loading units, we pay close attention to the door boot and lock assembly, which are frequent failure points. For top-loaders, we inspect the agitator dogs and clutch mechanisms. We ensure that water valves are opening fully and that the drain pump is clear of debris like coins or lint. We focus on restoring the balance and efficiency of the machine so that your clothes come out clean and the unit operates quietly.
Dryer Repair, Gas and Electric
A dryer that leaves clothes damp or takes multiple cycles to finish is a significant drain on time and energy. Whether you utilize a gas hookup common in many parts of Worcester County or an electric model, safety is our primary concern. Lint buildup and overheating elements pose real risks to the household. A properly functioning dryer should handle a full load efficiently without excessive heat radiating into your laundry room. We handle both the airflow systems and the heating mechanisms to ensure safe operation.
Common problems we fix:
- Dryer runs but produces no heat
- Drum does not tumble even though the motor runs
- Clothes take multiple cycles to dry completely
- Loud squealing or thumping sounds during operation
- Dryer will not start or has no power
- Burning smell coming from the unit
- Vent or hose is overheating
- Timer advances but the machine does not shut off
How we approach the repair:
We start by verifying that the ventilation path is clear, as restricted airflow is a leading cause of dryer inefficiency and component failure. For electric dryers, we test the heating element and thermal fuses. For gas units, we inspect the igniter, flame sensor, and gas valve coils to ensure proper combustion. We also check the drum rollers, idler pulleys, and belts to resolve noise issues. Our objective is to restore efficient drying times and eliminate fire hazards associated with overheating.
Dishwasher Repair
The dishwasher is a time-saver that sanitation-conscious homeowners rely on daily. Hand-washing dishes is not only tedious but often uses more water than a modern appliance. In areas with hard water, mineral buildup can affect cleaning performance over time. A broken dishwasher can lead to messy leaks that damage cabinetry or flooring. We understand the mechanics of spray arms, filtration, and water circulation needed to get dishes sparkling clean and sanitized.
Common problems we fix:
- Dishes come out dirty or covered in residue
- Water pools at the bottom of the tub after the cycle
- Door latch is broken or the door leaks water
- Wash cycle runs too long or does not complete
- Detergent dispenser does not open
- Loud grinding noises during the drain cycle
- Control panel buttons are unresponsive
- Unit fills with water when not in use
How we approach the repair:
Diagnostics for dishwashers often center on the circulation pump and drainage system. We check the inlet valve to ensure the unit gets enough water and inspect the spray arms for clogged jets. If the unit is not draining, we look for blockages in the filter, drain hose, or air gap. We also test heating elements to ensure water reaches the temperature required for proper detergent activation. We focus on sealing leaks and ensuring the electronic controls communicate correctly with the mechanical parts.
Oven Range and Cooktop Repair
Cooking at home is central to family life, especially during the long New England winters when warm meals are a comfort. A malfunction in your oven or cooktop can ruin a holiday dinner or force you to rely on takeout. Whether you cook on a gas range or a smooth glass electric cooktop, precise temperature control is necessary for baking and sautéing. We handle the complexities of calibration, ignition, and power regulation to keep your kitchen fully operational.
Common problems we fix:
- Oven does not heat up or maintain set temperature
- Gas burners click continuously but do not light
- Electric burner element remains on high heat
- Oven door glass is cracked or hinges are broken
- Self-cleaning cycle malfunctions or locks the door permanently
- Uneven baking or burning of food
- Error codes flashing on the display board
- Smell of gas when the unit is on
How we approach the repair:
Safety is paramount when dealing with high-voltage electricity or gas lines. We test temperature sensors and control boards to verify that the oven is reading heat levels accurately. For gas ranges, we clean and inspect burner ports and igniters to ensure a clean blue flame. On electric cooktops, we examine the infinite switches and ribbon cables. We ensure that the unit is safe to use and that thermal limiters are functioning to prevent dangerous overheating.
Microwave Repair
The microwave has evolved from a luxury to a necessity for quick heating and defrosting. Built-in models and over-the-range units are integrated into your kitchen cabinetry, making replacement difficult and often unnecessary. When these units fail, it is usually an internal electrical component rather than the entire unit that needs attention. We service these high-voltage appliances with the caution and expertise they require.
Common problems we fix:
- Microwave runs but does not heat food
- Turntable plate does not rotate
- Sparks or arcing inside the cooking chamber
- Touchpad or buttons do not respond
- Door is stuck or the latch is broken
- Exhaust fan is not working on over-the-range models
- Unit turns on by itself
- Display is dim or flickering
How we approach the repair:
Microwaves contain capacitors that hold a charge even when unplugged, making DIY repair dangerous. We safely discharge components before testing the magnetron, diode, and high-voltage transformer. We frequently replace door switches, which are common failure points that prevent the unit from starting. Our repair process aims to restore the convenience of your microwave while ensuring the radiation shielding and safety interlocks are intact.
Ice Maker Repair
A steady supply of ice is something we often take for granted until the bin is empty. Standalone ice machines and refrigerator-integrated units involve complex water lines and freezing mechanisms. Issues often arise from water quality, temperature settings, or mechanical jams. Whether you are entertaining guests or just need a cold drink after a workout at the local gym, a broken ice maker is a frustration you should not have to tolerate.
Common problems we fix:
- Ice maker is not producing any ice
- Ice cubes are small, hollow, or misshapen
- Ice tastes bad or has a strange odor
- Water is leaking inside the freezer from the ice maker
- Dispenser chute is clogged with frost
- Crushed ice works but cubed does not
- Arm feels loose or broken
- Loud clicking sounds when the mold fills
How we approach the repair:
We inspect the water inlet valve to ensure the mold is filling with the correct volume of water. If the ice is malformed, we check the freezer temperature, as it must be low enough to trigger the ejection cycle. We clear frozen supply lines and replace filters that may be restricting flow. We also test the motor module and bail arm to ensure the machine cycles off when the bin is full. Our goal is to get your ice production back to a consistent volume.
Appliance Brands We Service
Modern homes in our area feature a wide array of appliance brands, ranging from trusted domestic names to high-end European engineering. Understanding the specific error codes, wiring schematics, and mechanical tendencies of each manufacturer is crucial for a successful repair. We stay updated on the technology used across different product lines to provide effective service regardless of the logo on the front of your machine.
Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana
These brands fall under a massive manufacturing umbrella but have distinct features. Whirlpool and Maytag are known for their durability in laundry and kitchen units, while KitchenAid often features more complex electronics in their dishwashers and refrigerators. We are deeply familiar with the direct drive motor systems and modular control boards found in these units. We can quickly identify common wear items like coupler drives and lid switches.
GE, Hotpoint, Haier
General Electric appliances are a staple in many Westborough households. From older, robust models to the newer electronic-heavy profiles, these units require a technician who understands their specific sensor arrays. We troubleshoot the inverter compressors on GE refrigerators and the heavy-duty transmission systems in their top-load washers. We handle the intricacies of their sensor-dry technology in dryers as well.
Samsung and LG
Korean manufacturers have introduced advanced technology into the home, including linear compressors and direct-drive washer motors. These appliances are feature-rich but can be sensitive to voltage irregularities and sensor faults. We are skilled in interpreting the digital error codes these machines produce and navigating the complex disassembly required to reach internal components like drain pumps and main PCBs.
Bosch, Thermador, Electrolux, Frigidaire
European engineering from Bosch and Thermador prioritizes quiet operation and efficiency, often using different pump systems and heating logic than American brands. Frigidaire and Electrolux are common in many local condos and renovations. We understand the specific water heating cycles of Bosch dishwashers and the precise temperature controls of Thermador ranges. We handle these premium units with the attention to detail they demand.
Kenmore and More
Kenmore appliances have been built by various manufacturers over the decades. Our experience allows us to identify the original manufacturer of your specific unit, ensuring we source the correct parts and follow the right service protocols. Whether your unit is a rebranded Whirlpool or LG, we have the knowledge to fix it.

We understand the local area, from the traffic patterns on Route 9 to the specific plumbing quirks found in older local architecture. This local proximity means we can coordinate routes efficiently and provide a level of personal attention that large, impersonal corporations cannot match.
Meticulous Diagnostics Fixing the Root Cause
A “band-aid” fix leads to callbacks and frustration. We pride ourselves on digging deeper than the surface symptom. If a fuse blows, we want to know why it blew before we simply replace it. By testing circuits, checking resistance, and observing the appliance through its cycle, we identify the root cause of the failure. This thoroughness ensures that when we complete a repair, the machine stays fixed.
Respect for the Home and Clean Work Habits
Inviting a technician into your home requires trust. We treat your property with the utmost respect. This means using protective mats for tools, wearing shoe covers when necessary, and cleaning up any debris or packaging before we leave. We are mindful of your floors, cabinetry, and countertops. Our goal is to leave your home exactly as we found it, except with a working appliance.

Professional Repair vs DIY Repairs
In the age of online video tutorials, many homeowners are tempted to attempt appliance repairs themselves. While cleaning a filter is a great maintenance task for a homeowner, structural repairs involve significant risks. Appliances today operate on high-voltage electricity and often involve gas lines and water connections. A simple mistake with a gas range can lead to dangerous leaks, while mishandling a microwave capacitor can result in severe electrical shock even when the power is off.
Beyond safety, there is the risk of misdiagnosis. Without professional testing equipment, it is easy to guess which part is broken. We often see homeowners who have purchased three or four non-returnable parts, only to find the appliance still does not work because the actual issue was a loose wire or a control board glitch. Modern appliances also rely on fragile plastic clips and hidden fasteners; forcing a panel open can permanently damage the housing or door switches.
Professional repair ensures that the correct component is identified and installed properly. We have the tools to calibrate sensors, level machines, and seal water lines effectively. Relying on a professional protects your home from water damage caused by improper hose connections and ensures your appliance operates safely for years to come.
