Appliance Repair Services in Sudbury
From a fridge that won't cool to a commercial walk-in, every appliance repair service we offer across Greater Sudbury. Same-day for most calls.
Fridge & Refrigerator Repair
A broken fridge is one of the most disruptive appliance failures in any Sudbury home. Food spoils within hours, and a replacement unit runs $1,000 to $3,000 plus delivery. Most fridges in Greater Sudbury can be repaired for a fraction of that, and the repair lasts years. We diagnose and repair every major brand sold in Northern Ontario. Same-day service for most fridge calls across the city, with stocked parts for the failures we see week after week: compressors, defrost timers, evaporator fans, thermostats, water inlet valves, ice maker assemblies, and door gaskets. Older units (GE, Frigidaire, KitchenAid from the 1990s and early 2000s) still get parts through aftermarket channels, so do not assume an older fridge is unfixable. Up front: the diagnostic is $120 and applies to the repair if you go ahead. Quote before we touch a wrench, parts and labour broken out separately. No charge for the second visit if a part needs ordering. 90-day warranty on the repair and any part we install.
Washer & Dryer Repair
Washer and dryer issues stop your household cold. We service all configurations: top-load, front-load, stackable, electric and gas dryers. Common Sudbury complaints we see weekly: dryers that run but do not heat, washers that will not drain or spin, and stacked units making grinding noises. Most repairs are under $400 and same-day. A few patterns are unique to Sudbury. Hard water from the municipal supply scales up washer inlet valves and water-temperature mixing valves faster than the provincial average. Dryers running through long winters with sealed-up homes tend to clog the lint trap and the duct run faster than in summer months, which is the most common cause of the 'runs but no heat' symptom on every brand we service. And the older mining-era homes around West End, Donovan, and Flour Mill often run on 60A panels where a washer and dryer on a shared circuit will trip the breaker when both start simultaneously, which is a wiring symptom that looks like an appliance failure but is not.
Dishwasher Repair
Dishwashers fail in predictable ways: dirty dishes after a full cycle, water pooling at the bottom, leaks under the unit, or the door not latching. Most Sudbury dishwasher repairs come down to a clogged spray arm, failing pump, faulty door switch, or worn door seal. Repair is usually $200 to $450 and saves you $700+ on a replacement.
Stove, Oven & Range Repair
Stove and oven failures range from simple (burner element replacement) to complex (gas valve, control board). We service electric and gas units from all major brands. Gas appliance work requires extra care for safety. We handle the diagnosis and repair, and refer to a licensed gas fitter if a gas line modification is needed. Sudbury stove and oven calls cluster around three patterns. First, oven use spikes from November through February as households shift to baking and casseroles, and a marginal heating element or weak igniter that was masked by light summer use finally fails right at holiday meal season. Second, cold-snap voltage sag from grid load during -25C nights stresses range control boards, and a board failure usually shows up as 'oven preheats then shuts off' or 'all touch controls dead'. Third, gas range igniters in older homes that still have the original 1980s-1990s appliances fail gradually (slow ignition, clicking but no flame, then finally no spark at all), and igniter replacement is one of the most common single-visit fixes on a gas stove.
Freezer Repair
A failing freezer puts hundreds of dollars of food at risk fast. We service standalone chest freezers, upright freezers, and built-in fridge-freezer combos. Common failures: defrost system stuck on, thermostat reading wrong, compressor failing, or door seal letting cold escape. We carry common parts on the truck for same-day repair when possible.
Microwave Repair
Built-in and over-the-range microwaves are worth repairing in Greater Sudbury. Replacing one means electrical work, possibly venting changes, plus $400 to $1,200 for the unit and a wait for shipping from Toronto or Mississauga. A typical OTR or built-in repair runs $200 to $420 all in. We diagnose first, quote next, and fix on the same visit when we have the part on the truck. Every parts repair carries a 90-day parts warranty and 30 days on labour, written on the invoice. The $120 diagnostic credits against the repair if you go ahead. We service every major microwave brand sold in Sudbury kitchens: Panasonic, Sharp, Whirlpool, Maytag, GE, KitchenAid, Frigidaire, Samsung, LG, Bosch, Kenmore, Electrolux, plus residential Cafe. Counter-top microwaves under $200 are almost always cheaper to replace than to repair, and we will tell you that on the phone rather than waste a service visit. Built-in trim-kit installs ($800 to $1,800 to replace) and over-the-range units ($500 to $1,500 to replace plus possible ductwork) are different territory. Magnetron, door switch, control board, fuse, and turntable motor swaps on those units almost always pencil out cheaper than buying new and pulling the old unit out of the cabinetry. Microwave repair has one safety constraint other appliances do not. The high-voltage capacitor stores a lethal charge even after the unit is unplugged and sitting overnight. Every internal repair starts with a controlled discharge using a metered resistor, not a shortcut. This is why a YouTube walkthrough on microwave repair is not the right call. If you smell burning, see sparking inside the cavity, or notice the door arcing during use, stop using the unit and call us. Do not plug it back in to test.
Commercial Appliance Repair
Commercial appliance downtime costs you money every hour. We service walk-in coolers, commercial dishwashers, ovens, fryers, and refrigeration for restaurants, cafes, retirement homes, daycares, and other Greater Sudbury businesses. Priority dispatch for revenue-critical equipment. Invoicing available for businesses.
Appliance Installation
Appliance installation in Greater Sudbury is its own job, separate from delivery and separate from repair. The big-box stores will drop a unit in your driveway. The repair tech fixes a unit that already lives in your kitchen. The installer is the person who actually connects water, drain, gas, vent, and 240V service so the appliance runs the way the manufacturer expects. We do that piece. Dishwashers, over-the-range microwaves, fridge water and ice-maker lines, laundry pairs, stacked laundry units, built-in wall ovens, built-in cooktops, and range hoods. We work alongside the retailer or the contractor when a renovation is in flight, and we coordinate with whoever delivers the unit so the install happens the same week. What you get for the install fee is a level, sealed, code-compliant connection that we have leak-tested, electrically tested, and run through at least one full cycle before we leave. That sounds basic until you have seen the alternative. A dishwasher anchored to the cabinet but never levelled will rack and run loud. An over-the-range microwave hung off two drywall anchors instead of the framing strap and the studs will sag at the back corners inside a year. A laundry pair set on bare basement floor instead of a vibration pad will walk across a New Sudbury utility room every spin cycle. A range hood vented into the attic instead of through the wall or roof dumps kitchen grease into your insulation, which matters in a Sudbury winter because that grease never warms up enough to evaporate. We install for the long version of the appliance lifecycle, not the photo at handover. Gas-range and gas-dryer installs have an extra wrinkle in Ontario. The electrical hookup, the venting, the levelling, the anti-tip bracket on a gas range, and the run-cycle testing are all within scope of our install. The gas line connection itself (the actual cut-and-thread, or the flexible-connector swap with a new shut-off) is the work of a TSSA-registered gas technician under provincial code. We coordinate with a licensed gas fitter when you need one, schedule both visits the same day where possible, and stay on site through the gas fitter's leak check so commissioning happens in one trip. We are honest about that scope split before we book the job. There is no surprise gas-fitter line item at the end. Most of our Sudbury install calls fall into three patterns. Pattern one is the post-purchase install: you bought the appliance from Leon's, The Brick, Costco, Home Depot, or a local dealer, delivery is booked for next week, and you need someone to actually hook it up. Pattern two is the renovation install: a contractor finished the cabinetry or the plumbing rough-in, the appliances are sitting in their boxes in the garage, and you need the finish work done right. Pattern three is the warranty-replacement install: the manufacturer or extended-warranty provider shipped a replacement unit, the old one needs to come out, and the new one has to drop into the existing footprint. We handle all three. The price for each is in your written quote before we start.
