Service in French or English

Hull is the francophone heart of the region, and many of our calls here happen entirely in French. Booking, the diagnosis and the explanation of the quote can be in whichever language you prefer; just tell us when you book. Prefer to read this page in French?

Across the river, no surcharge

We serve both sides of the Ottawa River. Hull is part of our standard Ottawa–Gatineau service area, so the diagnostic is the same as anywhere else in the city and there is no cross-river travel charge.

Much of Hull’s housing predates 1970: narrow kitchens built around smaller appliances, older wiring, and washers and dryers stacked in closets or tucked under stairs. Those details shape the repair as much as the appliance does.

• Stacked laundry in closets. The dryer vent often snakes through the wall or ceiling to reach outside, and lint builds up fast in long or crushed runs. Poor airflow overheats the dryer and blows thermal fuses, so we check the vent before replacing parts.
• Fridges in tight alcoves. A refrigerator boxed in by cabinets with no room to breathe makes its condenser run hot and the compressor work harder. The technician checks the clearances and the condenser coil as part of the diagnosis.
• Older electrical. Ranges and electric dryers draw 240 volts, and a worn receptacle or loose connection can mimic a failed element. We measure voltage at the appliance; if the circuit is at fault, we tell you to call an electrician rather than replacing parts that are fine.
• Cramped installations. Pulling a range or dishwasher out of snug cabinetry takes care, so tell us when you book if the appliance is built in or boxed in tightly.

• Refrigerator repair: not cooling, ice maker problems, leaks, a loud compressor or fan.
• Washing machine repair: won’t drain, won’t spin, error codes, heavy vibration.
• Dryer repair: no heat, damp clothes, a burning smell, a noisy drum.
• Dishwasher repair: not draining, leaking, poor cleaning, odd noises.
• Stove and oven repair: burners not heating, oven faults, igniter problems.
• Microwave repair: not heating, sparking, humming.
• Range hood repair: fan, light and motor faults.

When a fridge in Hull runs warm, we start with the parts that fail most: the defrost system (heater, thermostat or sensor, and the timer or board that runs it), the evaporator fan that moves cold air from the freezer into the fresh-food side, the condenser fan and coil, and the start relay. An evaporator coil buried in frost behind the freezer panel is one of the most common findings and usually means a defrost fault.

Water under the crisper drawers usually comes from a frozen or plugged defrost drain; a puddle in front of the fridge more often comes from the water line or inlet valve feeding the ice maker. We repair French-door, side-by-side, top- and bottom-freezer, counter-depth and apartment-size models, plus upright and chest freezers. If the compressor or refrigerant circuit is the problem, that sealed-system work has its own diagnostic and we quote the repair by phone. For a step-by-step look, see fridge not cooling in Gatineau.

Stacked and compact pairs are everywhere in Hull, alongside full-size front- and top-loaders. A washer that stops with water in the drum usually has something caught in the pump or filter, a kinked hose or a worn drain pump. No spin points to the door lock or lid switch, the belt or motor coupler, or the motor control board, and banging on spin to worn shocks, springs or drum bearings. Front-loaders that leak or smell musty need the door boot and pump filter looked at; see washer leaking and washer not spinning.

For dryers, no heat usually means a heating element, thermal fuse or thermostat on electric models, or the igniter, flame sensor or valve coils on gas ones. A dryer that runs but won’t tumble needs a belt, idler pulley or rollers. Gas dryer service in Gatineau is confirmed when you book. Our page on a dryer not heating explains what you can safely check first.

A dishwasher that leaves water behind, grit on the plates or a puddle on the floor has a specific cause: a clogged filter or sump, a blocked drain hose or air gap, a failing drain or circulation pump, a stuck inlet valve, or a worn door gasket. On Bosch machines, E15 means water has collected in the base and E24 or E25 point to a drain restriction. See dishwasher not draining for more.

Ovens that won’t preheat, bake unevenly or run hot usually need a bake or broil element, a temperature sensor or a control relay; self-clean locks that won’t release and unresponsive touchpads are common too. We repair electric, induction and gas ranges, wall ovens and cooktops, freestanding or built-in. Gas appliance service in Quebec is confirmed when you book; gas diagnostics are $129 + tax. Over-the-range microwaves and range hoods with dead fans, lights or controls can often be repaired on the same visit when the part is a common one. If an oven is the problem, our guide to an oven not heating covers the usual causes.

Sending a technician to your Hull home costs a flat $89 + tax diagnostic for residential appliances, or $129 + tax for gas appliances and commercial equipment. The fee covers the visit, the diagnosis and a written quote, and the repair goes ahead only once you approve it. Repairs carry our 3-month warranty on parts and labour.
