ASKO Appliance Repair in Millvale, Etna & Fox Chapel, PA

ASKO belongs to the Asko family of brands, which share engineering and a lot of components. That helps on jobs around Millvale, Etna, Aspinwall & Fox Chapel: parts are easier to track down, and the ways these machines tend to fail are well understood.

Send us the model number with your booking. Look for a sticker inside the door or lid, along the frame, behind the bottom kick plate or on the rear panel; with it we can look up that platform's known weak points and carry those parts instead of ordering after the first visit.

ASKO designs its appliances to be kept for a long time and keeps parts in supply to match. When a ASKO in its second decade breaks, it's usually one part, not the whole machine wearing out, which is rarely true of an economy model the same age.

What you pay for that is parts that cost more and are more often special-ordered, so some ASKO repairs around Millvale, Etna, Aspinwall & Fox Chapel need a second trip. We tell you the wait before you agree, and book the return visit on the spot.

Washers and dryers in basements that take on water in heavy rain, freezers and spare refrigerators on concrete floors that stay damp, gas dryers venting through old foundation stone, and in the larger Fox Chapel and O'Hara houses, built-in refrigeration, double wall ovens and pro-style ranges.

No matter the brand, an ASKO appliance in Millvale, Etna, Aspinwall & Fox Chapel is only as good as the drain, circuit, vent and water line it's hooked to, and here the washer and dryer are usually in the basement, which in the river towns is often below the level of the street and sometimes below the creek.

Water damage from appliances usually starts at a hookup rather than inside the machine: a rubber washer hose that finally burst, a fridge line pinched when the refrigerator was shoved back, or a line that froze and split.

Braided stainless hoses, a shutoff valve you can reach without moving the appliance, and a drip pan under an upstairs washer are cheap and worth having. If water appears, turn off the supply and unplug the machine before anything else.

Natural gas is common for ranges, dryers and water heaters in Millvale, Etna, Aspinwall & Fox Chapel, and older houses often have gas piping that has been extended and reconnected several times. A gas appliance that won't light usually has an igniter, a sensor or dirty burner ports at fault, not a gas problem.

With a strong gas smell, leave switches alone, get out of the house and call the gas utility from outdoors. We can look at the appliance once it's safe, and after any gas work, each fitting we opened gets leak-tested.
