This is Pittsburgh at its steepest. The South Side Flats are a tight grid of brick rowhouses under the bluffs, the Slopes climb so sharply that some houses are reached only by public stairways, and Mount Washington looks straight down on Downtown. Across the city line, Mount Oliver sits on the hilltop, and down the Monongahela, Hazelwood, Homestead and Munhall are steel towns rebuilding on old mill land.
Two things worth knowing about Maytag before we arrive: Whirlpool took over Maytag in 2006, so any Maytag made after that shares Whirlpool's parts and service methods; and the heavier-duty Maytag laundry lines carry stouter drive and suspension parts than the base models, which keeps them repairable later in life.
Call or book online and we'll set up a time that works for you.
Maytag: platform and parts
Maytag belongs to the Whirlpool family of brands, which share engineering and a lot of components. That helps on jobs around South Side, Mount Washington, Hazelwood & Homestead: parts are easier to track down, and the ways these machines tend to fail are well understood.
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 Maytag repair involves
So many Maytag 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 Maytag job around South Side, Mount Washington, Hazelwood & Homestead 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 Maytag appliances sit in South Side, Mount Washington, Hazelwood & Homestead
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 Maytag 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.
Cold garages and winter refrigerators
A refrigerator in an unheated space works on the edge of its design. In summer it runs constantly; in January it may hardly run at all, and a freezer that depends on the fresh-food thermostat thaws.
Before paying for a repair on a garage unit, check the manual's ambient-temperature range. We'll check it too, and tell you if the location is the actual problem.
What happens on the visit
A washer that won't drain could have a sock in its pump filter, a failed pump, a broken lid switch or a clogged house drain. For a South Side, Mount Washington, Hazelwood & Homestead household those range from a minute's work to a plumber's job, which is why no one can price it honestly over the phone.
The technician finds the actual fault, shows it to you and explains what it takes to fix. You approve the price before any work starts.

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 South Side, Mount Washington, Hazelwood & Homestead 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 South Side, Mount Washington, Hazelwood & Homestead, and we try to schedule around your service hours.
Our first choice is the Maytag 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.
