A warm refrigerator, a washer that will not drain, a dryer with no heat: FixDaddy handles appliance repair in Sterling, VA, from the ramblers of Sterling Park and Sugarland Run to the townhouses and condos of Cascades, Lowes Island and Potomac Falls. We also repair dishwashers, ovens, ranges, cooktops and microwaves, on Samsung, LG, Whirlpool, GE, KitchenAid and Frigidaire, with same-day service most days.
What we fix here
A fridge wedged into a Sterling Park alcove runs its condenser hot. The first sign is a warm fresh-food section or a fridge that never stops running. An ice maker that stops while water still dispenses has a frozen fill tube or a scaled inlet valve, the first suspects in Frigidaire refrigerator repair.

That usually traces to worn shock dampers or a machine off level, two causes our Samsung washer repair page covers. A washer that takes forever to fill has inlet screens clogged by hard water.
More on washer repairNo heat is a heating element or a thermal fuse on an electric dryer, an igniter or gas valve coils on a gas one. A drum that will not turn is a belt. Newer Samsung dryers flag a blocked duct with a Vent Check light, covered on our Samsung dryer repair page. In a townhouse, clear the vent or the new fuse goes too.

On a KitchenAid, water left in the bottom often starts with a packed filter: see KitchenAid dishwasher repair.
More on dishwasher repairOn a 30-inch freestanding range the usual failures are a bake element that has burned through, a gas igniter that glows but never lights, or a door that will not seal. On the wall ovens of Cascades and Lowes Island it is more often a control board, a door lock stuck after self-clean, or a relay board on a double oven.

Sterling homes
Sterling Park is ramblers, split-levels and raised ranches, with kitchens planned around a narrow fridge and a 30-inch range and a ground-floor laundry with a short dryer vent. Sugarland Run mixes contemporary houses and townhouses. North of Route 7, Cascades and Lowes Island are newer houses, townhouses with the laundry on a bedroom floor, and condos with a stacked washer-dryer in a closet. Sterling's water runs moderately hard to hard, so valves, heaters and spray arms scale up.
Sterling Park kitchens were planned around a 30-inch range and a fridge far narrower than a French-door model. A new fridge often sits in the old alcove with almost no air over the top or behind it, so it runs hot and loud. Many kitchens have been remodeled since, sometimes twice, and a dishwasher wedged under a newer countertop is harder to get out.
In a one-story rambler the laundry is on the ground floor with a short vent. When that dryer needs two cycles, the fault is normally inside the machine: a heating element, a thermal fuse or a worn belt.
In the townhouses north of Route 7 the laundry is often on a bedroom floor. A washer leak drips through the ceiling below, and the dryer vent runs a long way to an outside wall or the roof. Lint packs that duct, the dryer overheats and trips its fuse, and no new part will hold until the vent is clear.
The condos have stacked washer-dryer units, and the water shut-off for your unit may be in a common area. Ask your management company before we arrive if you are not sure. Tell us which community you are in when you call.

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.

I was looking for a local Bosch specialist near me in Arlington, and found FixDaddy. They fixed my Dishwasher on the spot! Super fast and professional. If you need a reliable technician in the DMV, this is the one!

FAQ
All of Sterling, both sides of Route 7. That includes Sterling Park, Sugarland Run, CountrySide, Cascades, Lowes Island and the Dulles Town Center area. We also take calls for appliance repair in Ashburn and appliance repair in Herndon.
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 never quote a repair price over the phone, because nobody has seen the machine yet.
Most days, yes. Someone answers the phone 24/7, so call whenever the appliance quits. The truck carries the common parts, and anything else is ordered and fitted on a second visit.
Yes. Upstairs laundry is common in the Cascades and Lowes Island townhouses, and the usual sources are the door seal, the drain hose or the drain pump. We repair the washer and show you where the water came from; the ceiling itself is not something we do. The washer repair comes with our 90-day warranty on parts and labor.
It is moderately hard to hard. Over a few years that scales a dishwasher's heating element and spray arms and clogs the small water valve that feeds an ice maker. Those are repairable parts. Cloudy glasses alone are usually a rinse-aid and water issue, not a broken machine. If you have a softener, mention it when you call.
Yes, stacked units and washer-dryer combos are on our list. Let us know the brand, whether the dryer is vented or ventless, and whether your building needs notice to shut off water to the unit. The technician brings shoe covers and floor protection for the hallway and your floors.
