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 Smeg before we arrive: Smeg's parts come through a small number of distributors, so we confirm supply as we diagnose; and Smeg is best known for retro-look refrigerators but also builds ovens, cooktops and dishwashers on conventional European designs.
Call or book online and we'll set up a time that works for you.
Smeg: platform and parts
Smeg designs and makes its own appliances, so the parts and service methods belong to Smeg alone, and parts for Smeg 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.
Keeping a Smeg running
Smeg designs its appliances to be kept for a long time and keeps parts in supply to match. When a Smeg 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 Smeg 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 Smeg 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 Smeg 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.
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.
Dryer vents in older houses
Clothes that are warm but still damp after a full cycle almost always mean the dryer can't push its air out. On the North Side, the choke point is often a vent that runs across a basement ceiling and out through a stone or block foundation, a foil hose crushed behind the machine, or an outside flap stuck with lint or ice.
We check the airflow before touching the heating element or the thermal fuse. New parts fitted to a dryer that still can't breathe fail the same way.

Smeg 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. Alongside household appliances, we work on reach-in coolers and freezers, prep tables, ice machines and commercial ranges and ovens for businesses on the North Side, and we try to schedule around your service hours.
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.
Our first choice is the Smeg 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. Smeg makes its own platform, so its parts come from Smeg itself.
In most cases, repair. Smeg 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.
