Across the Allegheny from Downtown, the North Side has some of the oldest housing stock in the city. In the Mexican War Streets and Allegheny West a kitchen may sit in a house built in the 1800s, and the basement where the laundry lives was dug long before anyone imagined a washing machine. Further up the hills, Perry, Observatory Hill and Brighton Heights are newer and roomier, but still mostly older detached houses with basements.
Two things worth knowing about KitchenAid before we arrive: KitchenAid wall ovens and warming drawers are screwed into their cabinets, and we work out how to pull one before we arrive; and 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.
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 the North Side: 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 the North Side need a second trip. We tell you the wait before you agree, and book the return visit on the spot.
Where KitchenAid appliances sit on the North Side
Basement washers draining into laundry tubs or floor drains, gas dryers venting through old foundation walls, ranges and dryers on gas piping that has been added to over many decades, refrigerators in narrow kitchens with no room to breathe, and appliances in rental units split out of large old houses.
No matter the brand, a KitchenAid appliance on the North Side 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, reached by stairs that are often steep and narrow in the older rowhouses.
Gas ranges, dryers and safety
A gas oven whose igniter glows but never lights, a burner that clicks without catching, a gas dryer that tumbles but stays cold: these are among the most common repairs we make, and usually come down to an igniter, a valve coil or a sensor.
Anything on the supply side of the appliance, such as the piping or the shutoff valve, is work for a gas fitter, and we'll tell you if we find a problem there.
Cold garages and winter refrigerators
Every winter on the North Side brings calls about garage refrigerators whose freezers have gone soft while the garage itself is near freezing. It seems backwards, but in many models a single thermostat in the fresh-food section decides when the compressor runs, and in a cold room it rarely asks.
The owner's manual gives the room-temperature range the refrigerator was designed for. If your garage falls outside it, the fix may be a garage-rated model or a warmer spot rather than a part.

KitchenAid in The North Side: 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.
That depends on how the week is booked across the North Side 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 the North Side 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.
48 of them across the North Side, from everyday names like Whirlpool, GE, Samsung, LG, Frigidaire and Maytag to built-in and pro-style makers such as Sub-Zero, Wolf, Thermador, Miele and Viking, plus commercial equipment from True, Hoshizaki, Manitowoc and others. The brands page lists them all.
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.
