Appliance Repair in West Vancouver, BC

One of the most overlooked causes of washer damage is small items left in pockets — coins, keys, and clips that get into the drum and cause tears in clothing or damage to the drum itself. Overloading is another frequent culprit, putting strain on the motor and transmission over time. If your machine is leaking, not spinning, or stopping mid-cycle, don’t wait — the longer it runs with a fault, the more expensive the repair becomes. Our West Vancouver technicians carry the most common parts on every visit and fix most washers the same day.

A dryer that takes two cycles to dry one load or shuts off before finishing is usually dealing with restricted airflow — lint builds up inside the cabinet and exhaust duct over time and prevents heat from escaping properly. This is also a fire risk that most people don’t take seriously until something goes wrong. Check that your vent hose isn’t kinked or blocked at the wall connection. If the drum isn’t turning at all, the drive belt has likely snapped. Both are straightforward repairs when caught early. Our technicians service all major brands of electric and gas dryers across West Vancouver.

Before calling a technician, there are a couple of things worth checking yourself. First, look at your fuse box — a tripped breaker is a surprisingly common reason a dishwasher won’t start. Second, check that the door latch is closing properly, as food particles often block it and prevent the cycle from beginning. If the machine drains slowly or leaves dishes dirty, the filter at the base of the unit may need cleaning. For anything beyond these basic checks — error codes, leaks, or a pump that’s stopped working — our West Vancouver team will diagnose and fix it on the first visit.

If your electricity bill has been higher than usual, your fridge could be the reason. Dust accumulates on the condenser coils at the back of the unit over time, forcing the compressor to work harder and consume more power than it should. Since your fridge runs around the clock, this buildup happens faster than most people expect. A simple coil clean can make a noticeable difference. If the fridge is not cooling at all, making unusual noises, or icing up inside, the cause is usually a failed fan motor, a worn thermostat, or a blocked defrost drain. We carry parts for all major brands and aim to have your fridge running again the same day we visit

For gas stoves, ignition problems are the most common fault we see — burners that click repeatedly but won’t light, or flames that go out during cooking. Before calling us, check that the burner cap is sitting flat after a recent clean, as a slightly misaligned cap is often the entire problem. Also verify that your gas supply valve is fully open. For electric stoves, a burner that stopped heating is usually a failed element or a faulty surface switch — both are straightforward replacements. If you smell gas near the unit at any point, turn off the supply immediately and call us right away.

The most frequent oven faults come down to two components — the igniter on gas models and the bake element on electric ones. A gas oven that takes a long time to reach temperature or won’t light at all almost always has a weakening igniter that needs replacing. For electric ovens, uneven baking or a complete failure to heat usually points to a burned-out bake element or a drifting temperature sensor. Check your gas hose connections periodically and make sure nothing is blocking the burner ports. If the oven shuts off mid-cook, trips a breaker, or displays an error code, contact our West Vancouver team — most oven repairs are completed on the first visit without ordering parts in advance.
