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.

Admiral keeps its designs plain and affordable, which works in your favor at repair time: with so few electronics, most Admiral faults we come across around Oakdale, Imperial & McDonald are a switch, pump, belt, valve or fuse, all quick to trace and modest to replace.

The downside is that a brand-new Admiral is also cheap, so only the smaller repairs make financial sense. If a big part has failed on an older one, we'll usually point you toward replacing it.

Basement washers and dryers in the older borough houses, garage refrigerators and chest freezers on the bigger township lots, and gas or electric ranges in kitchens ranging from century-old to brand new.

No matter the brand, an Admiral appliance in Oakdale, Imperial & McDonald 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 the older Oakdale, Imperial and McDonald houses, and a basement or first-floor laundry room off the garage in the township subdivisions.

Freeze-thaw winters in Oakdale, Imperial & McDonald are hard on water lines that run through unheated spaces: an ice-maker line on an outside wall, a washer's supply in a cold garage, a dishwasher line in a crawl space. When they freeze, the appliance simply stops filling; when they thaw, a split line can leak.

If an ice maker or washer stops getting water on a very cold day, check for a frozen line before assuming a failed valve. Once it thaws, look along the line for drips.

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.
