Back at work!
I was away last week but now I’m back fixing appliances in the Foothills of Yuma Arizona. The photo is of my daughter out front of Uncle Lunkers bait and tackle store …why? Because that storefront is the original location of Star Appliance!
I’ll be back on 8/22/22
I’ll be closed next week, 8/15 – 8/19 while I attend my Dad’s Celebration of Life in Bridgton Maine. He passed away earlier this year and the family and friends are gathering to honor him.
17 Years Ago
I learned the trade of Appliance Repairman around 20 years ago when I took a break from my Telecommunications career and bought a mom and pop appliance sales and repair business in Bridgton Maine.

Most likely this is because the more times an igniter heats up…
Samsung Refrigerator Section Freeze-Up Repair
Samsung RF28HFEDTSR tends to freeze up in the upper right area of the refrigerator sections evaporator coils. I added this tape and foam in an effort to keep it from freezing in this section in the future. Only Time Will Tell.
Iced Over Refrigerator Section
Why oh why did manufacturers like this Samsung unit, start adding evaporator coils in the refrigerator section!? I have yet to see the benefit of doing this. Leave the cooling to the freezer section! …anyways, this is another iced over evap coils in the fresh food section of a Samsung.
Replacing Bathroom Vent Fan
A bit outside my wheelhouse but when a customer complained their bathroom fan was not working I did a bit of research and ordered a replacement off Amazon.
Samsung Duo Dryer Control Boards
A common problem with these Flex Duo Dryers from Samsung is that the drum will continue to turn with no heat endlessly, even with door open and control panel off, until you unplug it. When I replaced the control boards it corrected this issue, locating these control boards was an issue unto itself.
