Appliance repair in Aylmer, Quebec

Aylmer’s housing spans more than a century and a half, from heritage houses near the old village core to developments finished in the last few years. The appliances follow suit, so we work on both ends: older Whirlpool and Maytag workhorses with mechanical timers and simple controls, and newer LG and Samsung smart units built around electronic boards and error codes.

That range changes the repair conversation. An older top-load washer or coil-element range is often well worth fixing, because its parts are simple and available. A newer machine may need a control board, a sensor or a software-driven diagnostic before the real fault shows itself. Either way, the technician tests before replacing anything, explains what failed, and tells you plainly when fixing it would be money poorly spent.

Smart appliances in newer Aylmer homes

Connected fridges, washers and ranges often report faults through a phone app before the display shows anything. If your LG ThinQ or Samsung SmartThings app has logged an error, a screenshot is useful when you book: it narrows the likely parts. A dropped Wi-Fi connection on its own rarely stops an appliance from working, so if the machine still runs, the fault is usually elsewhere and the technician tests the hardware directly.

Aylmer’s anglophone and francophone mix is unusual in the region, and our booking and technicians work comfortably in both languages. Tell us your preference when you book, and the diagnosis, the quote and the paperwork will follow it. This page is also available in French: réparation d’électroménagers à Aylmer.

Aylmer is a short drive across the Champlain or Chaudière bridge from our Ottawa office, and our parts and appliance warehouse is on the Gatineau side. Aylmer is priced like the rest of our Ottawa–Gatineau service area: the same diagnostic fee, with no cross-river or travel surcharge.

Our technicians work on Samsung, LG, Bosch, Whirlpool, Maytag, Frigidaire, GE, KitchenAid, Electrolux, Kenmore and most other major makes, and our repairs are factory-authorized.

• Refrigerators: not cooling, ice maker trouble, leaks, a loud compressor.
• Washing machines: won’t drain or spin, error codes, vibration.
• Dryers: no heat, clothes still damp, a burning smell, a loud drum.
• Dishwashers: standing water, leaks, poor cleaning, strange noises.
• Ovens and stoves: elements or burners not heating, temperature problems, igniter faults.
• Microwaves: not heating, sparking, humming.
• Range hoods: fan, light or motor failures.

Whatever has stopped working, the visit runs the same way: the technician tests the appliance, finds the failed part, shows you what’s wrong and quotes the repair in writing before touching anything. Here is what that testing usually covers.

A coil hidden under frost at the back of the freezer is a classic finding, and it usually means a defrost fault, which can often be repaired during the same visit. If the compressor or refrigerant has failed instead, that sealed-system work has a separate diagnostic and is quoted by phone, so you can decide before spending more. For washers, we trace leaks to the door boot, fill hoses, dispenser, pump or tub seal and repair the source rather than patching around it. Microwave capacitors hold a dangerous charge even when unplugged, so please leave the cabinet closed.

For gas ranges, cooktops and dryers at Aylmer addresses, we confirm service at the time of booking. If you smell gas, leave the home and call Gazifère (or 911) from outside first.

A few safe checks can save a visit, or at least give the technician a head start:

• Power. Check the breaker or fuse panel. A range or electric dryer is fed by a 240-volt double breaker or a pair of fuses, and losing one side can leave the lights or the drum working while the heat stays off.
• Door and lid. Washers, dryers and dishwashers will not start if the door latch or lid switch doesn’t register as closed; close it firmly once more.
• Filters. A washer that won’t drain may just need its pump filter cleared (behind the small panel at the bottom front of most front-loaders). Clean the dishwasher filter and the dryer lint screen too.
• Fridge settings and airflow. Confirm the temperature setting hasn’t been bumped and that food isn’t blocking the vents between the freezer and fresh-food compartments.

If the problem persists, stop there. Don’t remove panels on a range, dryer or microwave, and never try to bypass a switch.

A technician’s visit to your Aylmer home is a flat $89 + tax diagnostic, or $129 + tax for a gas appliance or commercial equipment. It pays for the trip, the testing and a written quote, and it is credited to the repair you approve. Every completed repair has a 3-month warranty on parts and labour.

Most common repairs in Aylmer fall within these typical ranges (sealed-system work excluded):

• Fridge not cooling: $180 – $450
• Washer not draining: $160 – $340
• Dryer not heating: $170 – $380
• Dishwasher not draining: $160 – $310
