New-build west-Ottawa homes

Stittsville has grown fast, and most homes date from the 2000s onward, fitted with LG, Samsung and Whirlpool smart appliances. Our technicians are equipped for the modern digital control boards and the sealed-system refrigeration common in these builds. Sealed-system work is diagnosed separately at $159 + tax, and that repair is quoted by phone.

Many of these appliances report faults through a display code or a phone app. Note the code, or the message the app shows, when you book: it often points to the failed part and helps the technician bring it on the first trip.

No travel charge from our Ottawa base

Stittsville sits just off Highway 417 in Ottawa’s west end, within 30 km of downtown. There is no extra travel fee: you pay the same $89 + tax diagnostic as any Ottawa address.

Same-day visits when the schedule allows

Same-day visits in Stittsville are often possible when the schedule allows. Service hours run from 7 AM to 9 PM, so evening windows are available as well; a visit between 9 PM and 7 AM carries a $100 flat after-hours fee.

We charge a flat $89 + tax diagnostic fee for residential appliances. Gas appliances (gas stove, range, oven, cooktop or dryer) and commercial service calls are $129 + tax, with gas work handled by TSSA-certified technicians. That fee pays for the visit, the diagnosis and a written quote, and no repair starts until you approve that quote.

Common calls include a refrigerator that is not cooling, a washing machine or dishwasher that won’t drain, a dryer with no heat and an oven or stove that is not heating. What the repair costs depends on the fault, the part and the model: a drain pump, thermal fuse or bake element is usually a smaller job than a control board or a motor. Your price is set in writing after the diagnosis, and sealed-system repairs on a fridge are quoted by phone. Our Ottawa appliance repair cost guide has more detail by symptom.

Every visit follows the same approach: find the actual cause, explain it in plain language and give you a written price before any work starts. Service is available in English and French.

Refrigerators and freezers

Food starts to spoil within hours, so a warm fridge is the most urgent call. In newer French-door and bottom-freezer models the cause is usually a frosted evaporator from a failed defrost heater or sensor, a stopped evaporator or condenser fan, or a control or inverter board, rather than the compressor itself; a dusty condenser coil can add to the problem. The technician measures temperatures and tests each component, so you pay only for the part that failed. We also repair leaking fridges (a frozen defrost drain, a cracked water line or an inlet valve), ice makers and dispensers that stop, freezers that frost up, doors that won’t seal and fridges that click, buzz or rattle. More detail is on our Stittsville fridge repair page.

While you wait: if the fridge has been warm for more than a few hours, move the essentials into a cooler and keep the doors shut in the meantime.

Washer repair in Stittsville

High-efficiency front-loaders are common in newer homes, and their most frequent faults are drainage and door locks. A washer that won’t drain usually has lint or a small item in the pump filter, or a drain pump that has failed; one that won’t spin needs a door lock, belt, suspension part or motor control. Leaks come from a torn door boot, a loose hose or a pump seal, and a musty smell from debris in the filter or mould in the boot. Share any code when you book, such as OE, 5C, F21 or E21, so the technician brings the right part.

Dryer repair in Stittsville

Electric dryers that won’t heat usually have a failed element, thermal fuse or thermostat; gas dryers an igniter, flame sensor or valve coils, handled by our TSSA-certified technicians. A drum that won’t turn means a belt, idler or rollers. When drying simply takes too long, the vent is the first suspect: lint in the run cuts airflow and makes the dryer run hot, a fire risk as well as a nuisance. If that sounds familiar, our guide to a dryer that takes too long covers what to check before you book.

Dishwashers

Built-in and panel-ready dishwashers that won’t drain usually have a clogged filter, a kinked drain hose or air gap, or a failed pump. Poor cleaning points to the spray arms, the circulation pump, an inlet valve or water that isn’t hot enough. Many newer dishwashers use a manual-clean filter under the lower spray arm, and a clogged one is behind many no-drain calls. On Bosch models, an E15 code signals water in the base pan, while E24 and E25 point to a blocked drain; we fix the cause, dry the base and reset the unit.

Ovens, ranges and cooktops

We repair gas, electric and induction ranges, wall ovens and cooktops: ovens that won’t heat or bake unevenly, burnt-out elements, temperatures running off, self-clean locks that won’t release, and touch controls or induction generator boards that stop responding. Gas burners that won’t light and igniters that click non-stop are TSSA-certified work. Electric ranges run on 240 volts, so please don’t open panels yourself.

Range hoods and microwaves

Hood fans that won’t run, lights that fail and unresponsive controls are all repairable, as are over-the-range microwaves that won’t heat, spark, or have a failed door switch, turntable motor or exhaust fan. For a countertop model, replacement usually makes more sense than repair, and we will tell you if so.

• A confirmed time window of about three hours, by call or text, after you send your request.
• A full diagnosis of the appliance, not just the obvious symptom.
• A written quote before any repair begins; you decide whether to go ahead.
• Many repairs finished on the first visit when the part is common; ordered parts come with a timeline.
• A written diagnostic report, and a 3-month warranty on parts and labour for the repair we complete.

Appliances still inside their manufacturer’s warranty are worth a call to the maker before you book, since that repair may be covered.
