Describe Your Problem

Why Professional Microwave Repair Matters

A microwave looks simple, but a high-voltage capacitor behind the panel can hold a dangerous charge even when it is unplugged. A technician tests the parts in order, so the one that failed gets replaced and the rest stay untouched.

Luke diagnosed the problem quickly and replaced the pump but also cleaned the contacts on the control board at no extra charge saving us another $500 or so. We will definitely use him again.

“The front of my built in microwave came after the factory glue failed. The tech who was also the owner of the company came out reapplied the glue and being as it had to set for 24 hours, he showed me how to put it back together myself which saved me $200. I will call them again if I have an appliance need”

Mark S.

“Luke was the best! Professional. Kind and easy going. Honest and friendly. Very accommodating In perms of payment and appointment time. Great communication skills and also gave sure fire tips on prevention and upkeep. Highly, highly recommend. The company before CareFix sucked so Luke was a breath of fresh air.”

Kathleen U.

“These guys were prompt. Had to come back with parts. Was expensive but the dryer was working next day. Shouldve called them for my Oven!! Instead I ended up with Reliable Appliance. Don’t call Reliable Appliance! (Note to self, when you call Appliance pros they put you in with whomever they want and not who you want)”

Katie G.

“Luke the technician responded promptly and scheduled the repair seamlessly with updates on status of part availability. Excellent service and fair pricing. Highly recommended and will use again.”

Vincent Y.

“Our bottom-drawer freezer stopped cooling, so I reached out for quotes. He was the fastest to respond and, even though he was on vacation, he made sure I was booked for an appointment. He came out, took a look at the issue, and quickly identified the problem. He explained everything in simple terms, and although we ultimately decided it was in our best interest to purchase a new refrigerator, his professionalism went above and beyond, if we ever have issues with other appliances he will be the first one I call. I will let all my family and friends know of services. Very High recommended!!!!”

Ruben S.

“I have an old 30+ year old washing machine. When I contacted Luc, he responded immediately and gave me several different options for when he could come to my house. Upon arrival he pulled out protective booties for his shoes to put on. So considerate. Luc was personable, professional and very easy to work with. He quickly diagnosed the problem then fixed it. He made sure to test the machine after putting things back together. Price was reasonable for the service provided. Definitely and highly recommend him for all major appliance repairs. His is a number I don’t plan to lose!”

Ronda L.

“Communication was very good. On time and very friendly. Fixed all 3 of my appliances without having me buy parts. He really has the aptitude to work above and beyond. My latch on my microwave was broken, it had a plastic piece that had broken and he was able to fix it. Highly recommend! Price was extremely reasonable and fair! Do not hesitate to call Luke.”

Nick R.

“Excellent service. I will use CareFix again and recommend them to others. Our refrigerator died suddenly and as you might imagine, it’s very stressful. Just the loss of food can be expensive but nothing compared to a new refrigerator. I found CareFix online and once I requested service Luke contacted me right away and come out very quickly. Luke was professional and knowledgeable. He diagnosed the problems and explained it to me and answered any questions I had. The repair costs would have been quite high. Luke urged me to contact the manufacturer because the warranty likely had not expired. I did contact them and the refrigerator will be fixed at no cost to me. If it all works out Luke will have saved me thousands of dollars. I can’t thank Luke enough for the work, the information and the advice. He is very personable and thoughtful and made a stressful situation manageable. He even put on shoe covers when he came in the house.”
