Before you junk that washer or dryer, here’s what might be going wrong—and how we save Ottawa homeowners hundreds.
At Honest Guys Appliance Repair, we’ve seen it all. When your trusted appliances start to act up, it’s easy to panic and assume it’s time for a pricey replacement. But in many cases, common appliance failures are completely fixable — and for a fraction of the cost of a new unit. If you live in Ottawa, Kanata, Barrhaven, or Orleans, we’re your local leaders in fast, affordable appliance repair.
Here are seven common problems we fix every day, helping homeowners keep their kitchens and laundry rooms running smoothly.
- Washer Won’t Spin or Drain
If your washing machine stops spinning or draining, it doesn’t mean it’s done for good. Often, a clogged drain pump, a broken lid switch, or a worn-out belt is to blame. These are quick, affordable fixes when caught early. Our technicians can diagnose the issue within minutes and get your washer back to working order without the stress of buying a new one.
- Dryer Isn’t Heating Properly
A dryer that tumbles but doesn’t heat is a common issue for Ottawa homeowners. Most of the time, the culprit is a faulty thermal fuse, a broken heating element, or even just a clogged vent. Replacing a dryer can cost upwards of $1,000, but repairing a part costs far less. Honest Guys Appliance Repair can pinpoint the failure and save you a major headache.
- Fridge Running Constantly or Not Cooling
Few things are more urgent than a fridge that stops cooling. If you notice your fridge running loudly or continuously, it could be due to dirty condenser coils, a failing thermostat, or a malfunctioning compressor relay. Our experienced technicians can assess the situation quickly, ensuring you don’t lose your groceries—or your mind.
- Dishwasher Leaves Dishes Dirty
If your dishwasher is making strange noises, leaking, or simply not cleaning your dishes, it’s not necessarily the end of its life. Often, it’s a worn-out pump, a clogged spray arm, or a broken door latch. We help Ottawa residents get their dishwashers back to peak performance with reliable, cost-effective repairs.
