Appliance Repair in Chantilly, VA

Same-day visits happen when the day's route has room. We're based in Alexandria, about 22 miles from Chantilly, so the drive is longer than our close-in stops and we group Chantilly, Centreville and Fairfax visits on the same run. Calling before mid-morning gives the best chance of a same-day window; otherwise the next day is usual. Hours are Monday to Saturday 8 AM to 10 PM and Sunday 10 AM to 10 PM, with no extra charge for evenings or weekends.

Refrigerators and ice makers, freezers, washers, dryers, dishwashers, wall ovens, ranges, island cooktops and downdraft vents, over-the-range microwaves, range hoods, wine coolers, and heating and cooling systems, including zoned systems with dampers. Brands include Samsung, LG, Whirlpool, Maytag, GE, Bosch, KitchenAid, Miele, Thermador, Viking, Wolf and most others. On older wall ovens and discontinued glass cooktops we check parts availability before quoting. Small countertop appliances aren't something we take on.

Appliance Surgeon charges $75 for the diagnostic visit in Chantilly, VA, or $115 for a double unit (such as a double wall oven, washer-dryer combo or stacked laundry), and the fee is credited toward the repair if you approve the quote. For appliance repairs, labor starts at $200 and stays there on about 9 in 10 repairs; more complex jobs can reach $450. Parts are extra and listed in the quote. Typical price ranges by appliance are in our appliance repair cost guide.

We can, and it's a common request from associations in Sully Station, Franklin Farm and Greenbriar and from the townhouse and condo communities off Route 50. Give us the association's or management company's name and email when you book, and we send a certificate showing $1 million in general liability before the appointment. If the community limits contractor hours, tell us and we book inside them.

In Chantilly it's often the vent. Many houses here have the laundry room inside the house, so the duct runs through walls, floors or the attic before it reaches outside, and lint settles in a long, crooked run years before any part in the dryer wears out. Some long runs have a booster fan; if yours has one, check that it spins whenever the dryer runs. Clothes that need a second cycle and a dryer cabinet hot to the touch mean the vent is due for cleaning. If the vent is clear and the dryer still won't heat, the element, thermal fuse or thermostats (or the igniter and gas valve coils on a gas model) are the usual parts.

Empty the cabinet under an island cooktop, since the wiring, gas line and downdraft duct are all reached from there, and clear a path to slide a wall oven partway out. Note the model number and the exact error code, and whether a dead dishwasher went dark after a storm or a breaker trip. Keep a struggling garage fridge or chest freezer closed so the food holds cold. Have someone home who can approve the written quote.

Call for the earliest window if a washer fills when it shouldn't (an inlet valve stuck open can flood an upstairs laundry), if anything sparks or smells of burning, if a burner keeps clicking with the knob off, or if a fridge or freezer can no longer hold temperature. A gas smell in the kitchen with everything off means leave the house and call 911 or Washington Gas from outside. We don't offer 24/7 emergency service, but we answer the phone until 10 PM seven days a week.

Every Appliance Surgeon repair is covered by a 90-day warranty on parts and labor, starting the day the repair is finished. The technician explains the terms before the job is complete.
