The South Hills grew along the streetcar and light-rail lines, and they still look it: street after street of brick and frame houses from the first half of the twentieth century, packed onto hills that rise and fall between Dormont, Beechview and Brookline. Further out, Brentwood, Whitehall and Baldwin loosen into postwar houses with a garage under the living room and a basement that holds the laundry.
Two things worth knowing about LG before we arrive: 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; and 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.
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 Dormont, Brookline & the South Hills 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 Dormont, Brookline & the South Hills 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 in Dormont, Brookline & the South Hills
Basement washers and dryers, gas dryers venting through block foundations, second refrigerators and freezers in tuck-under garages that get very cold in winter, and kitchens where a modern range or microwave has been fitted to wiring from an earlier remodel.
No matter the brand, an LG appliance in Dormont, Brookline & the South 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 almost every house, often beside a tuck-under garage.
Dryer vents in older houses
Try this: run the dryer on its hottest setting for ten minutes and hold your hand at the outside hood. A strong, warm flow is what you want. A weak puff means something along the run is blocked.
In winter, the moist exhaust can freeze at the hood and hold the flap shut. A clogged vent is a fire hazard as well as a nuisance, so a full cleaning every so often is money well spent.
Frozen lines and cold-weather leaks
Freeze-thaw winters in Dormont, Brookline & the South Hills 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.

Yes. If fixing it would eat up a big part of what a similar new appliance costs, and yours is close to the end of its expected life, we'll suggest replacing it, in Dormont, Brookline & the South Hills or anywhere else. Built-ins are the usual exception, because a replacement brings cabinet work with it.
Yes. Alongside household appliances, we work on reach-in coolers and freezers, prep tables, ice machines and commercial ranges and ovens for businesses in Dormont, Brookline & the South Hills, and we try to schedule around your service hours.
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.
