Appliance Repair in Alexandria, Ontario

Bilingual Appliance Service for Glengarry

Alexandria is the seat of North Glengarry and one of Eastern Ontario’s most bilingual communities — so it matters that you can book and talk through a repair in French or English. B&M has repaired appliances since 1995; our Highway 34 runs bring the same service that built our Ottawa reputation to Glengarry: a real appointment window, a written price before any work, and a 3-month warranty on parts and labour.

The housing mix here keeps us on our toes: solid brick century homes around the Mill Pond and Main Street with renovated kitchens squeezed into old footprints, bungalows from the 60s and 70s with their original hard-wearing appliances, and hobby farms and rural properties from Glen Robertson to Dunvegan where a dead chest freezer is a genuine emergency.

What We Fix in Alexandria & Area

• Refrigerators & freezers — no-cooling calls prioritized; chest freezers on farm properties treated as urgent
• Washers & dryers — drain pumps, bearings, no-heat dryers, and the vent cleaning rural homes often need
• Dishwashers — well-water scale on spray arms and valves is the local pattern; we carry the parts
• Stoves, ovens & ranges — electric, induction and gas (TSSA-certified, leak-tested)
• Microwaves & range hoods

Pricing & Travel

• Residential service call: $119 + tax — full diagnosis plus a written repair quote.
• Commercial & gas appliances: $159 + tax.
• Travel: outside our core 30 km Ottawa zone a travel surcharge may apply — quoted upfront when you book, never at the door.
• 3-month warranty on parts and labour.

Our appliance repair services in Alexandria

Whatever appliance has stopped working in your home in Alexandria, the process is the same. A technician tests the appliance, finds the failed part, shows you what’s wrong and quotes the repair in writing before touching anything. Below is what that looks like for each type of appliance we repair.

Service is available in English and French.

Fridge and freezer repair in Alexandria

When a refrigerator runs warm, the problem is rarely the whole fridge. It’s usually one part in the cooling cycle. Our technicians test the defrost system (heater, bi-metal thermostat, sensor and timer or board), the evaporator and condenser fans, the start relay and the controls to find exactly where it’s failing. A frozen coil behind the freezer panel is one of the most common findings, and it usually points to a defrost fault that we can repair on the spot.

Other common fridge repairs include water pooling under the crisper drawers, ice makers that stop filling or dispense slowly, leaking or noisy water valves, worn door gaskets that let warm air in, and loud fans or compressors. We repair French-door, side-by-side, top- and bottom-freezer, built-in and panel-ready refrigerators, plus upright and chest freezers.

If the compressor or sealed system has failed on an older unit, we’ll tell you honestly whether the repair is worth it before you spend anything beyond the service call.

Washer repair in Alexandria

A washer that stops mid-cycle with a tub full of water is one of the most stressful appliance problems, and one of the most fixable. In most cases it’s a drain issue: a sock or coin in the pump, a clogged filter, a kinked hose or a worn-out drain pump. When the drum won’t spin, we check the belt, motor coupler, door lock or lid switch, and the motor control board. Loud banging during spin usually means worn shock absorbers, suspension springs or drum bearings.

We repair top-load, front-load, compact and stacked washers, including washer-dryer combos. For leaks, we trace the water back to its source, whether that’s the door boot, fill hoses, detergent dispenser, pump or tub seal, and repair it properly instead of patching over it. Every washer repair includes a test cycle before we leave.

Clothes dryer repair in Alexandria

If clothes are coming out damp after a full cycle, we start by checking airflow and heat. Common culprits are a blown thermal fuse (often caused by a blocked vent), a burnt-out heating element, a failed thermostat, or, on gas dryers, a failed igniter, flame sensor or gas valve coil. When the dryer won’t turn on at all, it’s usually the door switch, start switch, thermal fuse or the control board.

We repair gas and electric dryers, including stacked and compact units. Noises like squeaking, grinding or thumping usually mean worn drum rollers, belt or idler pulley, which are straightforward repairs that add years to the machine. Before we leave, we run the dryer, confirm it heats and tumbles properly, and let you know if the vent needs cleaning.

Dishwasher repair in Alexandria

A dishwasher that leaves a puddle, a gritty film or dirty dishes almost always has a specific, fixable cause. Our technicians check the filter and sump, the drain pump and hose, the spray arms, the inlet valve, the heating element and the door seal, and test the control board and door latch if the unit won’t start.

Common repairs include replacing drain and circulation pumps, inlet valves, door gaskets, latches, heating elements and float switches, and clearing blockages from the drain path. We repair built-in, panel-ready and compact dishwashers from all major brands. If your dishwasher shows an error code or beeps a pattern, tell us when you book so we can come prepared.

Stove and oven repair in Alexandria

An oven that takes forever to preheat, bakes unevenly or won’t heat at all usually has a failed bake or broil element, a faulty temperature sensor, a stuck relay on the control board, or a door lock problem after a self-clean cycle. On cooktops, we repair dead elements, stuck or failed infinite switches, cracked or unresponsive glass-top controls and induction zones that won’t detect cookware.

We repair gas, electric and induction ranges, stoves, wall ovens and cooktops, including freestanding, slide-in and built-in models. Gas ranges, ovens and cooktops are repaired by our TSSA-certified technicians. We fix burners that won’t light, igniters that click non-stop, weak or uneven flames and gas ovens that won’t heat. If you ever smell gas, leave the home and call your gas utility’s emergency line first. Every oven repair is tested with a real temperature check before we leave, so you know it’s heating accurately.

Microwave and range hood repair in Alexandria

Over-the-range microwaves do double duty as a microwave and a hood, so when one fails, both jobs stop. We repair magnetrons, high-voltage diodes and capacitors, door switches, turntable motors, exhaust fans and control boards on built-in and over-the-range models, and fans, lights and switches on standalone range hoods. For countertop units, we’ll give you an honest answer on whether repair is worth it.
