5-Star Review for Appliance ForeverI first got acquainted with Appliance Forever last year when they came to repair my dishwasher under warranty. Zak arrived for the inspection, quickly identified the issue, and explained that a replacement part needed to be ordered under warranty. He also informed me how long the process would take. The parts arrived on time, and Zak returned to replace and install everything perfectly. The entire service was completed promptly and professionally.Just recently, my oven suddenly stopped working. I called Zak, and to my surprise, he was able to come by within an hour. He quickly diagnosed the issue, and fortunately, he had the necessary part in stock. The repair was done thoroughly, carefully, and incredibly fast.I’m giving 5 stars for the outstanding service, professionalism, and efficiency. I highly recommend Appliance Forever for any appliance repair needs!
Had a great experience dealing with Appliance Forever. They were acting on behalf of my extended warranty company when it came to my Kitchen Aid refrigerator. Very professional. Booked the appt. Confirmed. Called ahead. Showed up on time and diagnosed. Ordered part and came back with new IceMaker two weeks later and installed perfectly and Voila ! We have ice again. I recommend. George was on top of the situation and Zach was my technician/ installer. Thanks guys !
My oven had a problem, but Applianceforever quickly fixed it. Great customer service!
