Hobart Appliance Repair in South Side, Hazelwood & Homestead, PA

A Hobart unit that's down is costing you money by the hour. We try to reach commercial calls around South Side, Mount Washington, Hazelwood & Homestead outside the busy part of the day, and we ask for the model and serial number over the phone so the likeliest parts are already with us.

Refrigeration and ice come with food-safety obligations, so you get a note of what we found and what we changed. If the failure traces back to maintenance, such as a grease-coated condenser, a torn gasket or an ice machine that needs descaling, we'll tell you, since that's what brings on the next breakdown.

Rowhouse basements with washers draining into old laundry tubs, dryers venting through stone foundations, gas ranges in kitchens that have been redone around them, rental appliances in the Flats working through one lease after another, and restaurant and bar equipment along East Carson Street.

No matter the brand, a Hobart appliance in South Side, Mount Washington, Hazelwood & Homestead 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, often reached by steep interior stairs in the rowhouses, or by an outside door on the hillside houses.

Freeze-thaw winters in South Side, Mount Washington, Hazelwood & Homestead 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.
