Appliance repair in Toronto

When a fridge stops cooling or a washer won’t drain, you need someone who can get to you, find the actual fault and tell you plainly what it will cost. B&M Canada Appliances has worked that way since 1995, more than 30 years, and it is how we handle repairs in Toronto. We take requests for residential appliances in houses, townhomes and condo suites across the city, from Etobicoke to Scarborough and from the waterfront up to North York.

Your request is not yet an appointment. We first check availability for your address, then confirm a window of roughly three hours by call or text, so you are not left waiting all day. Same-day appliance repair in Toronto happens only when the schedule allows. You get a diagnosis first, then a written quote, and nothing is repaired until you approve it.

Brands we repair

We repair all major residential brands, including Samsung, LG, Whirlpool, Bosch, GE, KitchenAid, Maytag, Miele, Frigidaire, Electrolux, Kenmore and Fisher & Paykel. Have the model number handy when you book; it is usually on a sticker inside the door or on the back of the unit. An appliance still under the manufacturer’s warranty may need to go through the manufacturer first, so check your paperwork before booking.

A warm fridge is one of the most urgent calls, and it rarely waits. Food starts to spoil within hours, so we try to book fridge repair in Toronto as early as the schedule allows.

Fridge not cooling

The usual causes are a blocked or iced-over evaporator, a failed defrost heater or sensor, a stopped condenser or evaporator fan, or a control board fault. In condos, a fridge pushed tight into a cabinet with no air gap can also run hot. The technician tests each part rather than guessing, so you only pay for what actually failed.

Freezer frosting up or fridge leaking water

Heavy frost on the back wall usually points to a defrost problem. Water on the floor often comes from a frozen or blocked defrost drain, a cracked water line, or a leaking inlet valve on models with a water dispenser.

Ice maker not working or noisy fridge

We repair ice makers, water valves and dispensers, and we track down clicking, buzzing and grinding noises, usually from a fan motor or the compressor relay. If the fault turns out to be the compressor or the refrigerant circuit, we explain what that repair involves, and whether it is worth it, before anything else is done.

Washer leaking, not draining or not spinning

A washer that leaks usually has a worn door boot, a loose hose or a failed pump seal. One that won’t drain or spin often has a blocked drain pump, a worn belt, a failed lid switch or door lock, or a motor control fault. Front-loaders that smell or stop mid-cycle often have a clogged pump filter. Washer repair in a Toronto condo often means a stacked unit in a closet, which we repair in place wherever possible.

Washer error codes

Samsung, LG, Whirlpool and Bosch washers all show error codes. Tell us the code when you book. It helps the technician come prepared and can shorten the visit.

Dryer not heating, not tumbling or taking too long

No heat usually means a failed heating element, thermal fuse, thermostat or high-limit switch. A dryer that runs but won’t turn often has a broken belt or worn rollers. Long dry times are very often a blocked vent. That is a common issue in condos, where vent runs are long and shared ductwork can restrict airflow. We check the dryer and tell you if the vent is the real problem.

Dishwasher repair

We repair dishwashers that won’t drain, don’t clean properly, leak from the door or base, don’t fill, or stop mid-cycle. Common culprits are a clogged filter or drain pump, a failed inlet valve, a worn door gasket or a spray arm blockage. Bosch, KitchenAid, Whirlpool, Samsung, LG, GE and Miele dishwashers are all regular repairs for us.

Electric oven, stove and range repair

Typical oven repair and stove repair calls in Toronto: an oven not heating, burners or elements not working, uneven baking, temperature running hot or cold, a self-clean cycle that won’t unlock, and control panel or touchpad faults. We repair freestanding electric ranges, slide-in ranges, wall ovens, and glass-top and induction cooktops. Electric ranges run on 240 volts, so please don’t open panels or test wiring yourself.

Microwave repair

We repair over-the-range and built-in microwaves that won’t heat, won’t start, spark, or have a failed door switch, turntable or exhaust fan. Countertop microwaves are usually cheaper to replace, and we will tell you so.

Much of Toronto lives in condo buildings, and repairs there come with their own logistics. If your building needs a service elevator booking, a loading-dock time or a concierge sign-in, tell us when you book and we plan the visit around it. Many condo suites have stacked washer-dryers, compact dishwashers and panel-ready fridges that are tight to access, and we repair all of these.

Older homes in neighbourhoods like The Annex, Leslieville and East York bring different issues: basement laundry, older wiring and appliances squeezed into small kitchens. If a range or dryer keeps tripping its breaker, the technician checks the appliance first and tells you if the problem is in the home’s wiring instead, which is a job for an electrician.

Many calls start with a code on the display. A few of the most common:

Don’t see your code? Tell us what the display shows when you book and we’ll look it up before the visit.

Before your technician arrives

• Model and serial number. Look for the sticker inside the fridge door, around the washer or dryer door opening, along the edge of the dishwasher door or behind the oven drawer, and take a phone photo of it.
• Error code. Note any code on the display, or photograph it.
• Clear access. Make some room in front of the appliance; if it needs pulling out, the technician handles that.
• Water and power. If a washer or dishwasher is leaking, close its water valve if you can reach it. Leave the power on so the technician can test the appliance, unless you notice a burning smell or sparks; then switch it off at the breaker.

If a repair isn’t worth the money, we say so. A general guide:

• When the repair comes to less than half what a comparable new model costs, and the rest of the appliance is sound, fixing it is usually the better buy.
• For a fridge, washer or dryer less than about 10–12 years old, common failures such as a pump, fan, heater, belt, valve or door lock are usually worth repairing.
• Replacement tends to make more sense for an older fridge with a sealed-system failure (compressor or refrigerant leak), or a washer whose tub has rusted through.
• If we recommend replacing instead of repairing, you pay only the diagnostic visit.
