What we fix here
Appliance repair in Fairfax, by appliance
Refrigerator repair in Fairfax
A Whirlpool side-by-side has three usual faults: a fridge side that warms while the freezer stays cold, a dead ice maker, and water pooling under the crisper drawers. Our Whirlpool refrigerator repair page covers all three. We also repair built-in refrigerators, Thermador and GE Monogram included.
More on refrigerator repairWasher repair in Fairfax
On an LG front-load washer in Fairfax we repaired a motor fault and a drum fault together. LG mounts a direct-drive motor straight on the back of the drum, with no belt, so a problem in one is often felt in the other. Spin, drain and door-lock faults are on our LG washer repair page.
More on washer repairDryer repair in Fairfax
Drum turns, heat gone: that is the heating element, the thermal fuse or the control board. In Fair Oaks townhouses and Mosaic apartments the vent runs a long way, and a lint-packed vent is a common reason a new element or fuse fails again. Vented or ventless, stacked or a WashTower, we fix Samsung dryers, LG and GE.
More on dryer repairDishwasher repair in Fairfax
Fairfax's hard water leaves scale on the heater, the spray-arm holes and the inlet valve, so the machine washes cooler and rinses worse. One that neither cleans nor drains usually needs a drain pump, a wash motor or a control board. Shutting off mid-wash is covered under KitchenAid dishwasher repair.
More on dishwasher repairOven repair in Fairfax
Older Fairfax kitchens have a freestanding gas or electric range. The Mosaic District and the newer townhouses have a wall oven and a separate cooktop, often a combination unit with a microwave on top. A range that shows a code, locks its controls and will not start has a control fault. Write the code down exactly before you call.

What we see in Fairfax kitchens and laundry rooms
Houses in Mosby Woods and around Old Town keep the laundry in the basement or a ground-floor closet, with a short dryer vent straight through the wall. In Mantua and Kings Park West, newer machines sit on old hookups. Fair Oaks townhouses put the laundry upstairs on a long vent. Mosaic District apartments have a wall oven, a cooktop, a counter-depth or built-in refrigerator, and a stacked pair or a WashTower in a closet. The city's older garden apartments stack the laundry too.
Appliance repair in Merrifield and the Mosaic District
Mosaic District kitchens are built around a wall oven, a cooktop and a counter-depth or built-in refrigerator, and the laundry is a stacked pair or an LG WashTower in a closet. In the Mosaic District we worked on a Samsung microwave wall oven whose magnetron was pulling low current, the usual story on these combination units, along with a bad inverter or a screen that freezes up. Our built-in microwave repair page covers a unit that runs but does not heat. Built-ins take longer to open up, so give us the brand and model when you call, and mention any building rules about water shut-offs or contractor hours.
Washer and dryer repair on older Fairfax hookups
In Mantua and Kings Park West the machine is usually newer than what it is connected to. A drain standpipe cut for a slow top-loader can overflow when a high-spin front-loader pumps out, and the dryer vent may have been patched along the way. In Mosby Woods and around Old Town the laundry sits in the basement or a ground-floor closet with a short vent straight through the wall. Fair Oaks townhouses are the opposite: laundry upstairs or in a hall closet, a long vent, slow drying and, sooner or later, a tripped thermal fuse.
Refrigerator and ice maker repair in Fairfax homes
In the older city houses the water line to the refrigerator is often a thin plastic one, added long after the house was built. Fairfax water is moderately hard to hard, and the scale ends up in the ice maker's inlet valve. Slow ice, small cubes or no water at the door usually start at that line or that valve, not inside the ice maker. A freezer frosted solid with a fresh-food side that will not get cold is a different fault: the defrost system has failed, and the fridge runs nonstop without ever getting there.

Our technician traced it to the water inlet valve, which was frozen solid and completely blocked. That valve is the only way water gets into the ice maker, so nothing was reaching it.

Didn't expect same-day service but that's exactly what we got. Fridge in our office in Fairfax was down and they had a tech out within a few hours. Quick fix, reasonable price, no complaints

I contacted them when my appliance suddenly stopped working, and I honestly thought it would need to be replaced. The technician arrived on time, quickly diagnosed the issue, and clearly explained the problem along with the best repair option—without trying to upsell unnecessary services. The repair was done efficiently, carefully, and with great attention to detail. It's obvious that the technician is highly experienced and knows his job well. All the necessary tools were brought along, and after the repair, the appliance worked perfectly, just like new. I also really appreciated the polite communication and transparent pricing—everything was exactly as agreed.

The is my 2nd time using FixDaddy. The first time was to repair my LG washing machine. This time it was to repair my Creda gas stove. Scheduling was easy. They showed up on time. Provided excellent service. I will use them again.

Very professional service. Quick to respond to request and came when they said. Though I didn't have them fix my issue (I realized I should probably just buy a new dryer as there were some unknowns) there was no hard sell of any extra service.

FAQ
Appliance repair in Fairfax: frequently asked questions
Do you cover the Fairfax County side, or only the City of Fairfax?
Both. If your mailing address says Fairfax, VA, you are in our area, whether the house is inside the city line or out in Merrifield, Mantua, Kings Park West or Fair Oaks. The towns on either side have their own pages: appliance repair in Vienna and appliance repair in Burke.
What does a repair visit in Fairfax cost?
Our visit fee is $89. The technician finds exactly what's wrong and gives you the full repair price at your home, no pressure. If you go ahead, the $89 counts toward the repair. We do not quote repair prices over the phone because we have not seen the machine yet.
Can you get to Fairfax today?
Most days, yes. Someone answers the phone 24/7, and the visit is booked as a two-hour window, with a call about 15 minutes before the technician arrives.
Is Fairfax water hard enough to damage my dishwasher or ice maker?
City or county, the tap water is the same: moderately hard to hard. That is enough to scale a dishwasher heater and clog an ice maker's inlet valve. The scaled part is cleaned or replaced, and the rest of the machine is usually fine. Whether a filter or a softener is worth it for your house is your call.
Do you work on apartments in the Mosaic District?
Yes. Stacked washer-dryers, ventless dryers, washer-dryer combos, built-in fridges and combination microwave wall ovens are all normal for us. Give us the building and the unit type when you call. If the building has a rule about water shut-offs or contractor hours, tell us and we work around it.
What if the part is not on the truck?
Common parts are on the truck. If yours is not, the technician orders it and comes back to fit it. Every repair, including that one, carries a 90-day parts-and-labor warranty.
