"This was amazing! I had no idea this service existed. After searching and contacting various repair places for my washer, this was the most cost effective option. I figured if it didn't work, my machine is old and I would be out $40, not the $100+ to have a tech come out and just diagnose the problem. I am pretty handy and my washer is old anyway, so if it is broken, I have to get a new one anyway. My tech, Steve, was great! He predicted what was wrong after listening to the machine, calmly walked me through dismantling the machine and when we got down to the motor, he was right! He sent me a link to the part I would need, and let me know to contact them again if I needed help installing it. My machine works even better than before it broke, its beautifully quiet and efficient. I will definitely be saving this company for any future repairs on appliances I may need. The service was $40 + the part cost, which was about $8."

"I hired Wencl Plumbing to install a radiant heating system (boiler and baseboard radiators). The system install was poor to say the least, and it didn't work right from the beginning. I had to hire another shop to remedy all their bad work and now Wencl Plumbing is coming after me with collections agencies because I subtracted what I spent to fix their bad work from their final invoice (which wasn't enough to cover it anyway, so I'm in the hole from fixing their bad work and they're still coming after me). I'd steer clear of this outfit, no quality control whatsoever, full of...excuses, lies, and misrepresenting facts. Update Feb 2023: Currently I’m paying another shop to complete repairs to the boiler because when Wencl Plumbing installed the water softener (at the time of the boiler install) they never actually started it up. The boiler is now receiving repairs as a result of the softener not being operational, and now the softener may require replacement because it was never actually started and has been trying to run all this time. The hits keep on coming, thanks Wencl Plumbing. Update July 2024: I was contacted by a collection agency looking to collect money on behalf of this hack shop. I told them the same thing I told the last folks. The only way I'm giving that idiot a nickel is if a judge orders it, and there will be a countersuit! I spent a boatload of money to finish the job that Wencl was hired to do and could not and would not finish. Wencl Pluming is run by a hack, there's no quality control, no accountability, no professionalism. This is in regards to management/ ownership, I'm sure some of the folks working there are great. My beef is with Sam Wencl, the hack pin-head owner."

When properly maintained, most refrigerators last about 10 to 15 years. With regular upkeep, some can run efficiently for up to 20 years or more. However, lower-performing models might need replacing after as few as eight years. Keeping up with maintenance and hiring an appliance pro for any repairs can help extend your fridge's lifespan.
Despite common perceptions, the average cost to repair a mini fridge is around $250. Technicians may charge an hourly rate between $45 and $120, with an additional service charge of $150 to $200. You’ll double that for a home visit. Unless the issue is easy to fix on your own, buying a new minifridge usually costs less than paying for a repair.
Once your repair bill hits about 50% of the replacement cost and your fridge is out of warranty, it’s time to replace it. Spending $100 to $300 on a repair (especially when it helps the fridge last for several more years) is a fraction of the $1,000 to $1,500 price for a brand-new one.
A fridge is low on Freon if it’s leaking refrigerant. If you notice your food isn’t staying cold, the motor is running more than usual (or even constantly), and there’s a chemical smell, this could indicate a leak. You should never need to replace refrigerant in a well-functioning fridge, but if you do, call a pro to handle this issue safely.
A refrigerator stops cooling due to multiple underlying issues. Faulty compressor fans, malfunctioning thermostats, obstructed coils from accumulated dirt, or an unplugged unit are the primary reasons for failed cooling. In addition, wiring faults, damaged door seals, or mechanical breakdowns can also disrupt performance. Inspect all components carefully and consult a repair pro if the problem persists.
A failing refrigerator control board displays clear warning signs that affect cooling performance and generate error codes. It is the central unit that governs compressor operation and temperature regulation. Key symptoms include erratic temperatures, unexpected display malfunctions, unresponsive controls, and a complete loss of cooling. Recognize these issues immediately and secure professional repair to protect the appliance.
