Appliance Repair in Reston, VA

We're based in Alexandria, about 20 miles from Reston, so Reston visits are grouped with our Herndon, Vienna and Tysons stops. Same-day windows open up most often when you book early in the day and a technician is already heading west on the Toll Road; otherwise next day is typical. 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.

We repair refrigerators, freezers, washers, dryers, dishwashers, ovens, stoves, cooktops (including downdraft and induction), microwaves, range hoods and wine coolers, and we service heat pumps and other heating and cooling systems. Brands include Samsung, LG, Whirlpool, Maytag, GE, Bosch, KitchenAid, Miele, Thermador, Viking, Wolf and most others, along with the Broan hoods common in Reston builder kitchens. Small countertop appliances and 24/7 emergency service are not offered.

Appliance Surgeon charges $75 for the diagnostic visit in Reston, 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.

Not for work inside the home. Replacing a dryer belt, a range element or a heat pump's defrost control involves no exterior change. Approval becomes a question when the outside of the house changes: relocating an outdoor heat pump unit, adding a new vent cap through a wall or roof, or altering the patio where the condenser sits. Check with your cluster association or Reston Association before that kind of job, and we will work around their timing.

Fairfax Water's hardness swings between about 51 and 185 mg/L depending on the plant and the season, and the high end leaves mineral film on glassware. Raise the rinse-aid setting first and set the dishwasher's hardness level to match. If the machine also smells or stops mid-cycle, that is a drain problem rather than a water problem, and in Reston it often traces back to a remodel: a disposal whose knockout plug was never removed, a rerouted hose or a missing high loop. We follow the whole drain path before replacing a pump.

Note the model number and any error code, then clear the space around the appliance. In a townhouse, that means moving storage away from the laundry closet or the basement hookup. For a dryer, tell us where the vent exits, since many Reston runs are long and bent and may need cleaning before a part is fitted. If your refrigerator sits in a tight original opening, measure the gap on each side so we know whether it has to come out for service.

Treat these as same-day calls: water leaking from a washer or dishwasher, a burning smell, sparking inside a microwave or at a range receptacle, a smooth-top zone stuck on high, or a refrigerator and freezer that are warming up. Turn a range with a stuck zone off at the breaker until it is repaired. A gas smell is different: leave the house and call 911 or Washington Gas from outside, and let the gas company clear the line before anyone works on the range.

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.
