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 LG before we arrive: LG's Smart Diagnosis, run from the ThinQ app or by holding a phone to the panel, generates a report that's useful to send us with your booking; and LG front-loaders hang the drum directly off the motor, and tub bearings on the way out make a low rumble at top spin speed long before the machine quits.
Call or book online and we'll set up a time that works for you.
LG: platform and parts
LG designs and makes its own appliances, so the parts and service methods belong to LG alone, and parts for LG work around the North Side come through its own supply chain.
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.
What a typical LG repair involves
So many LG appliances are out there that its common wear items (pumps, water valves, switches, fuses, belts, igniters and fan motors) are on the shelf at most parts houses. Finding them for a LG job around the North Side is rarely the slow part.
The electronics are where the math changes. A main control board can cost many times what a pump does, and on a machine that's already getting on, that can make a new appliance the better buy. The diagnosis tells you which way it falls.
Where LG 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, an LG 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.
Power outages and food
Summer storms and winter ice both bring down lines around the North Side, and some outages last a day or longer. Keep the refrigerator and freezer closed through it; federal food-safety guidance says food stays safe for around four hours in a shut refrigerator, about 48 hours in a full freezer and about 24 in a half-full one.
The spike when service returns is what tends to hurt electronic controls. If something won't start or flashes a code afterwards, cut its breaker for a minute and switch it back on. If that doesn't clear it, tell us about the outage when you book.
Stacked and compact laundry
Heat-pump and condenser dryers, and combination washer-dryers, don't need a vent to the outside, but their screens, condensers and drain filters need cleaning much more often than owners expect. Most slow-drying complaints on these end with a cleaning rather than a part.
Your manual shows where the extra filter or the condenser sits. Rinse it every few weeks and drying times stay where they belong.

LG 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.
Yes. The North Side was the separate City of Allegheny until Pittsburgh annexed it in 1907, and today Allegheny West, the Mexican War Streets, Deutschtown, Troy Hill, Spring Garden, Brighton Heights, the North Shore, the Perry neighborhoods, Observatory Hill, Summer Hill, Manchester and Chateau are all City of Pittsburgh neighborhoods. Either way, all 3 ZIP codes here are on our service map.
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 on the North Side.
Usually. When you book a the North Side 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 LG 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. LG makes its own platform, so its parts come from LG itself.
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.
