Precision Testing Tools

We don't guess. Today's appliances are incredibly complex. To find the exact problem, our certified technicians use professional meters such as True-RMS multi-meters, OEM diagnostic telemetry, and Amp-Clamp dynamic load testing.

Electronic Board Testing

We use True-RMS multi-meters to measure exact resistance across internal relays and switches to pinpoint circuit failures on modern smart boards.

Montreal Appliance Repair FAQs

We've compiled 33 comprehensive answers regarding electric household appliance failures across Metro Montreal.

General Service & Pricing

How is the diagnostic fee applied?

We charge a strict, transparent $149.95 rate to travel to your Montreal home and physically test the machine. If you proceed with our repair quote, that entire fee is deducted from the final bill.

How quickly can a technician arrive?

We prioritize emergency same-day dispatch for critical failures across the Island of Montreal, Laval, and the South Shore.

What forms of payment do you accept?

Upon completion of the repair, our technicians process Credit Cards (Visa/Mastercard), Debit, E-Transfers, or Cash directly at your residence.

Is it worth repairing a 10-year-old appliance?

Often, yes. Older appliances were built with highly durable mechanical parts. If the repair is under 50% of the cost of a new unit, fixing it extends its life significantly.

What should I do before the technician arrives?

Please clear the area around the broken unit and locate your model number. If your appliance is actively leaking, lay down towels to protect your flooring.

Do you repair commercial appliances?

No. Our expertise and parts inventory are strictly dedicated to major residential electric appliances from top brands.

Refrigerator & Freezer Diagnostics

Why is my freezer freezing but the fridge is warm?

Cold air is trapped. We typically find a burnt-out defrost heater or a seized evaporator fan motor preventing the chilled air from circulating upward.

What causes heavy ice buildup on the back wall?

Heavy frost accumulation indicates the automatic defrost cycle has failed. We use our multi-meters to test the defrost bi-metal thermostat and main board relays.

Why does my fridge keep clicking and shutting off?

That clicking is the compressor's thermal overload protector tripping. It usually means the PTC start relay is fried, which is a fast, affordable electrical repair.

Why is water pooling under my crisper drawers?

A blocked defrost drain tube forces condensation to overflow into the fresh food compartment. We flush and clear the drain line to permanently stop the internal leak.

Why is the icemaker not dropping any ice?

This is frequently caused by a frozen fill tube, a failed water inlet valve solenoid, or stripped mechanical gears inside the icemaker module itself.

Do you replace broken door seals and shelves?

Yes. Worn out gaskets let warm air in, causing the compressor to overwork. We replace torn magnetic seals, broken door bins, and cracked crisper rails.

Electric Oven & Cooktop Faults

Why is my electric oven blowing cold air?

A cold electric oven typically points to a blistered bake element at the bottom of the cavity, a burnt broil element, or a failed 240V relay on the control board.

Only half of my glass cooktop burner lights up.

Modern dual-zone radiant elements have multiple internal heating ribbons. If one ribbon burns out or the infinite switch behind the dial fails, the zone will only partially heat.

My induction stove flashes an error code.

Induction relies on magnetic field generation. Flashing usually means the pot isn't perfectly magnetic, or the induction inverter module under the glass has short-circuited.

The oven door locked itself and won't open.

This often happens after a high-heat self-cleaning cycle. The intense temperatures can warp the motorized latch assembly or blow the high-limit thermal fuse.

Why is the touch screen entirely unresponsive?

When buttons won't press, it's usually due to moisture delaminating the membrane switch panel, or a failed ribbon cable connecting to the main computer board.

My stove has absolutely no power to the clock.

A completely dead electric range is typically caused by a tripped 240V breaker in your home's electrical panel, or a burnt wire connector at the stove's terminal block.

Washing Machine Errors

Why is my front-load washer shaking violently?

Violent vibrations during the spin cycle mean the internal shock absorbers have lost their dampening fluid, or one of the suspension springs has snapped off the outer tub.

My washer stops mid-cycle full of soapy water.

If the machine refuses to drain, the logic board will halt the cycle for safety. We usually extract a physical blockage (coins, pins) from the drain pump impeller to fix this.

Water is leaking heavily from the front door.

Front leaks on front-load machines are almost always caused by a ripped, degraded, or moldy rubber door boot seal that has lost its watertight integrity.

Why won't the washing machine fill with water?

This is isolated to either clogged intake screens, a burnt-out hot/cold water inlet valve solenoid, or a failing water level pressure switch.

The washer refuses to spin the clothes dry.

When the drum won't engage high-speed spin, it is usually a snapped drive belt, a stripped motor coupling, or a lid switch that doesn't recognize the door is closed.

What do the flashing digital error codes mean?

Codes like F21, OE, or 5E are direct telemetry from the logic board indicating a specific component failure. Our technicians use these codes to instantly isolate the broken part.

Electric Clothes Dryers

The dryer spins, but produces absolutely no heat.

When an electric dryer tumbles but remains cold, the culprits are a snapped heating element coil or a blown thermal fuse triggered by restricted airflow. We strictly service 240V electric models.

Why is my dryer making a loud squealing noise?

A high-pitched metal-on-metal squeal requires a mechanical teardown. We typically need to replace the drum support rollers, the idler pulley bearing, or the main drive belt.

Why does it take three cycles to dry one load?

Excessive drying times are the #1 sign of a severely clogged internal lint chute or exterior exhaust vent. This chokes the airflow and creates a massive fire hazard.

The machine is completely dead and won't start.

A completely unresponsive dryer usually means a broken door switch (the machine thinks the door is open), a failed push-to-start relay, or a tripped 240V dual-breaker.

The motor hums, but the drum refuses to turn.

If you hear a hum but there is no rotation, the heavy-duty drive belt has likely snapped, or the drive motor itself has seized bearings and requires replacement.

Dishwasher Troubleshooting

Why is my dishwasher holding standing water?

Drainage issues result from a clogged drain hose, a blockage where the hose meets the sink plumbing, or hard debris stuck inside the drain pump impeller.

My dishwasher buttons blink but it won't start.

Flashing lights without action usually point to a faulty door latch micro-switch. If the machine doesn't register that the door is firmly closed, it will refuse to activate.

Why are my glasses coming out gritty and dirty?

Gritty residue is a sign of poor water pressure. This happens when the central micro-filter is completely clogged with grease, or food debris has plugged the rotating spray arms.

There is a loud grinding noise during the wash.

A harsh grinding sound means something hard (like a fruit pit or a piece of broken glass) has bypassed the filter and is actively chewing up the plastic blade inside the circulation motor.

Water is seeping out from the bottom corners.

Front leaks usually indicate a compressed rubber door gasket. Alternatively, if you used regular dish soap instead of specific dishwasher detergent, excess suds will force water out the vents.
