With years in the industry here at Appliance Magician we pride our company on attention to detail, punctuality, reliability, great communication, integrity, and quality work. We are experts in our trade and will do our best to keep you as educated as we can on your appraisal project. Our attention to detail is that of no other. We look forward to earning your business. Give us a call today!

"Hired Appliance Magician to service a GE Refrigerator that was not cooling properly. The technician", Artem Hxxxxxx, arrive on time and I immediately knew there was a problem as he did NOT speak English - Also, he did not know how to service my refrigerator - He spent 90% of the time on his cell phone getting instructions from his boss - He never checked the diagnostic service codes on my refrigerator and I could not t ask him to check them as we could not communicate. After 45 minutes of removing panels in my fridge and looking at things , he handed me his phone to talk with his boss (who talked in very broken English) who told me my defrost heater was broken and the fridge could be repaired for ;about $750 . My fridge had no frost/ice build-upo on any coils he checked, nor was there any water in the case, which my limited knowledge told me was not compatible with his diagnosis. I feel I was ripped off of the $69 trip charge as nothing was done, Company NOT vetted!!!"

Call the plumbers you can trust to schedule an appointment today.

"Job took longer than promised and the communication between there workers was lacking and the work done on our house was very sloppy. Their workers caused damage to our antique bookcase and the job was set back because of Jeffrey's lack of communication & professionalism. This company wanted to try to convince us not to get a permit before the work began Vinent Acosta owner of this company is in co-hoots with his employee Jeffrey R to give false estimates & reports of work that does not need to be done. Jeffrey head bidder said and wrote an estimate for $3,150 that I needed to repair a hole in cast iron pipe under my house. Later this was determined to be a false estimate and an attempt to rip us off. We had to call them down numerous times to correct the work they did not do correctly. We would never recommend these people to do any plumbing work. They give a quote than later try to up the price which is very dishonest. They did not respect the integrity of the design of our house running exposed plumbing lines through rooms instead of the exterior stucco & wood. When they did set a time to do some work and correction work they did not show up or call us to reschedule. The workers they sent out to our house to do the work arrived with unmarked cars and plain clothes appeared to be subcontracted and wanted to try to begin the work without showing me a permit that I had asked for a week prior. Initially they tried to convince us not to get a permit to do the job. After paying them $15,000 we are left to hire another plumbing company to finish work they promised to do but failed & refused to do. There technician Jefferey demanded full payment before the job was fully inspected. I would rate Alpine Plumbing & Rooter less than a one star. Beware of lack of honesty and false promises. We regret ever hiring them we were given a 3 day promise that the plumbing job would be complete when it took them almost a month."

"Our kitchen was in dire need of upgrades, and we met with many different contractors for estimates. Young from New Life Construction left the best impression by far, from his professionalism, renovation ideas and design, reasonable pricing, etc. I am so glad we decided to go with New Life as Young and his entire team were a delight to work with from start to finish. We received very helpful opinions regarding many aspects of the design and materials without it being overbearing, and it was helpful to see his previous projects through instagram (@newlife_construction) to see what has worked well for similar kitchens in the past. There was clear communication about everything from details of the job to scheduling and everyone was very attentive to our needs throughout. This company handled the demolition, cleanup, cabinets, countertops, overhead lighting, painting, appliance installation (range/oven and dishwasher), sink and faucet installation for us-- pretty much everything in the kitchen except the floors. They bring in separate contractors that are specialists in their respective field (cabinets, countertop, etc) to do each portion of the project so you know you're truly getting the experts at every step of the way. Even after the project was done, Young went above and beyond to wrap up last-minute issues that came up from cabinet parts that were on backorder and to this day is responsive to any issues that may come up in the future. My family and I are so happy with how the kitchen turned out and we would not hesitate to hire Young and his team again for future projects."

"I tend to be a bit particular, especially when it comes to my home, so I was nervous going into a bathroom remodel. But 1 Degree Construction exceeded every expectation. Thai was extremely professional and easy to work with — he kept us in the loop daily, sent progress photos when we weren’t home, and made sure every single detail was just right.

Fridge, freezer or ice maker repairs or services FAQs

Magnetrons burn out when their magnets crack, terminals overheat, or internal connections loosen. Excess heat does most of the damage, so make sure the vents stay clear and the unit has breathing room on all sides. Good airflow and routine cleaning go a long way toward keeping the magnetron alive.

Microwave diodes wear out after years of electrical stress or a sudden short. Telltale signs of a failed microwave diode include a loud hum or a sharp burning odor during a cycle. Catching those symptoms early and calling an appliance repair pro for replacement keeps the rest of the circuitry safe and the microwave heating properly.

Warning signs include no heat, sluggish cook times, sparks, odd noises, burning smells, or a unit that keeps running with the door open. A glitchy touchpad or a door that won’t latch also signals trouble. If the microwave is past its 10-year mark, those symptoms usually mean it’s time to repair or replace it.

It makes sense to fix a microwave if the repair costs less than a new unit and the appliance isn’t past its prime. Built-in or high-end models are good candidates for repair, while a budget countertop unit over 10 years old is usually cheaper to replace. Compare repair quotes with new‑purchase prices before you decide.

Wiping down the cavity weekly keeps grease from clogging vents and trapping heat around key parts. A quick steam‑clean with lemon, vinegar, or baking soda loosens stuck‑on food without harsh chemicals.

Sticking to a simple schedule reduces overheating, extends the microwave's lifespan, and helps it reach its full potential. Seeking advice from an appliance repair technician on maintenance tips can help you prolong the useful life of your microwave.
