Appliance Part Service

Appliances and other electrical gadgets can be quite tricky to repair, and you need professional help when things go wrong.

Unless you have a good background in electrical sciences, never attempt to fix appliances yourself; you might end up injuring yourself or spending more if you make a mistake. Help is always available if you know where to look. When you find the right technician for your specific appliance part-servicing needs, you not only save precious time, you also stay safe and save money.

Contact a factory-authorized appliance-part service center if your appliance is still covered by warranty or if such an outlet is near you. This guarantees that the replacement parts used are genuine and completely compatible, saving you from future headaches. Hiring factory-authorized technicians also protects you from being overcharged and abused. If you feel like you’re being asked to pay too much or think that your appliance did not get the right repair it needs, you can always call the manufacturer and complain.

If there are no factory-authorized repair centers or technicians near your area, you may have to make do with a local service center. Choose one that is time tested; ask your friends for recommendations so you know whom to contact and whom to avoid. You can also talk to your local appliance dealer and ask for a referral. They know the business well and may be able to point you to a good service technician whom their other customers trust.

If you are unable to get a recommendation, then do the search yourself – try either the Internet or the yellow pages. Remember to look around first; the first advertisement or entry you see is not necessarily the best. Take the time to either email or call several prospects to ask for a quote. If you can’t adequately explain your service needs on the phone, try visiting two to three shops and bring the appliance for appraisal. Do not base your decision solely on the service price, though, because while some technicians charge slightly more, their reasons may be justified. The least expensive technician may not be able to fix your appliance satisfactorily, or may use substandard parts for replacement. You’ll end up paying more for re-servicing.

Lastly, remember to always call a specialist. Some electricians can be very handy with ordinary appliances, but you may need specialists for units that require special training to fix (such as air conditioners, refrigerators, etc.). It might cost you a little more money to hire a specialist, but the added costs are well worth it in the long run.
