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 KitchenAid before we arrive: on a KitchenAid dishwasher with a third rack, a weak wash up top usually comes from the diverter or the tube that feeds the upper arm; and KitchenAid wall ovens and warming drawers are screwed into their cabinets, and we work out how to pull one before we arrive.
Call or book online and we'll set up a time that works for you.
KitchenAid: platform and parts
KitchenAid belongs to the Whirlpool 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.
Keeping a KitchenAid running
KitchenAid designs its appliances to be kept for a long time and keeps parts in supply to match. When a KitchenAid 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 KitchenAid repairs around Mt Lebanon, Upper St Clair & Pleasant Hills need a second trip. We tell you the wait before you agree, and book the return visit on the spot.
Where KitchenAid 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 KitchenAid 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.

Yes, while it's under the manufacturer's warranty. Warranty repairs are normally handled by the maker's own service network, and we're an independent company, not an authorized service center. Once the warranty has run out, or the problem isn't covered, we're glad to take the job in Mt Lebanon, Upper St Clair & Pleasant Hills.
Usually. When you book a Mt Lebanon, Upper St Clair & Pleasant Hills visit, list every appliance that's giving trouble, with model numbers if you have them, so we set aside enough time and bring the likely parts.
Our first choice is the KitchenAid 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. KitchenAid shares a parts bin with the other Whirlpool brands, so compatible parts are usually easy to get, even for older units.
In most cases, repair. KitchenAid designs its appliances to last longer than economy lines and keeps parts available for longer, so a single failed part in a unit that's ten years old usually leaves plenty of good machine behind, especially when it's built into your cabinets.
