Mt. Lebanon is one of the region's classic suburbs, with brick houses from the 1920s to the 1950s tucked close together on curving streets, many with the garage cut into the basement. Upper St. Clair came later and has more room, and the boroughs along Route 51, from Pleasant Hills to Jefferson Hills, are largely postwar ranches and split-levels. Across all of them, the basement and the garage are where appliances have the hardest time.
Two things worth knowing about Hobart before we arrive: Hobart designs its equipment to be rebuilt component by component and supports parts for many years; and scale is what wears down a Hobart dish machine, so its wash and rinse arms, booster heater, door gaskets and any water treatment need routine attention.
Call or book online and we'll set up a time that works for you.
Hobart: platform and parts
Hobart belongs to the ITW family of brands, which share engineering and a lot of components. That helps on jobs around Mt Lebanon, Upper St Clair & Pleasant Hills: 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.
Hobart equipment in Mt Lebanon, Upper St Clair & Pleasant Hills kitchens and bars
A Hobart unit that's down is costing you money by the hour. We try to reach commercial calls around Mt Lebanon, Upper St Clair & Pleasant Hills outside the busy part of the day, and we ask for the model and serial number over the phone so the likeliest parts are already with us.
Refrigeration and ice come with food-safety obligations, so you get a note of what we found and what we changed. If the failure traces back to maintenance, such as a grease-coated condenser, a torn gasket or an ice machine that needs descaling, we'll tell you, since that's what brings on the next breakdown.
Where Hobart appliances sit in Mt Lebanon, Upper St Clair & Pleasant Hills
Garage refrigerators and chest freezers in unheated tuck-under garages, basement washers and dryers with long vent runs through finished ceilings, dehumidifiers and freezers side by side on damp basement floors, and remodeled kitchens with built-in refrigerators, wall ovens and pro-style ranges.
No matter the brand, a Hobart appliance in Mt Lebanon, Upper St Clair & Pleasant Hills 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 in Mt. Lebanon's older houses, and a basement or a first-floor laundry room in the newer houses of Upper St. Clair and Pleasant Hills.
Gas ranges, dryers and safety
Natural gas is common for ranges, dryers and water heaters in Mt Lebanon, Upper St Clair & Pleasant Hills, 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.
Cold garages and winter refrigerators
A refrigerator in an unheated space works on the edge of its design. In summer it runs constantly; in January it may hardly run at all, and a freezer that depends on the fresh-food thermostat thaws.
Before paying for a repair on a garage unit, check the manual's ambient-temperature range. We'll check it too, and tell you if the location is the actual problem.

Hobart in Mt Lebanon, Upper St Clair & Pleasant Hills: Questions We Hear
Quick answers to what people ask most. If yours isn't here, bring it up on the phone or type it into the notes box when you book.
Something else on your mind?
Reach out with the brand, the symptom and a model number if you have one. Some questions we can answer on the spot; the rest a technician can check in person.
Many refrigerators and some freezers are designed for a heated room, and in an unheated Mt Lebanon, Upper St Clair & Pleasant Hills garage the controls may not run the compressor enough on the coldest days. The owner's manual lists the temperature range your model was built for. We'll check whether it's the location or a fault before quoting anything.
That depends on how the week is booked across Mt Lebanon, Upper St Clair & Pleasant Hills and the neighboring areas. Call or book online and we'll set up a time that works for you. If a refrigerator or freezer is failing with food inside, say so; it affects how we plan.
Not honestly. The same symptom can come from a small part or a major one, so the technician finds the cause at your Mt Lebanon, Upper St Clair & Pleasant Hills address first and then gives you a price. Nothing is done until you agree, and if the repair isn't worth it, we'll tell you.
Our first choice is the Hobart part that matches your model number. If that part has been discontinued, an equivalent may exist, and we'll tell you it's an equivalent before it goes in. Hobart shares a parts bin with the other ITW brands, so compatible parts are usually easy to get, even for older units.
That comes down to the part and the age. Pumps, valves, switches, elements, belts and fan motors are nearly always worth replacing. A dead control board or a sealed-system failure on an older machine is a harder call, and if a new one makes more sense we'll say so plainly.
