04/28/08 Hi Everyone....Just wanted to let you know that 100's of more testimonials have come in but I have not had the time to update this section. If you want to read more...what others say about us on AllExperts, where we have been helping people for many years. Scroll down to the bottom and there are over 500 more..... Thank All of you for helping to make us such a great success....Eric & Ann Campion
I just want to say thank you for your help with getting our refrigerator going! Your help likely saved us at least $100.00, maybe even $200.00 or more. Fortunately we have a small chest style deep freezer. For the over two weeks that our refrigerator has been out of service, we were able to use the freezer to keep the frozen food and I used several two liter jugs of water to freeze in the freezer and then put them in the non frozen section of our refrigerator to keep the things in there cold. I guess what made me think of doing that is because when I was a boy over fifty years ago we didn’t have a refrigerator. We had an ice box. Every few days the ice man would deliver a 100 lb or 150 lb block of ice and place it inside our ice box. There was a drain pan under the bottom that had to be emptied periodically as the ice melted. Some people call those the good old days and I guess in some ways they were better, but we are all spoiled to our modern appliances and think we can’t live without our microwave ovens, cell phones, garage door openers, color TVs, computers and the internet. After all I found you on the internet. I thought I would mention this in case you have another customer who has a similar situation where they might be able to get by using this idea should they have a deep freeze handy they can use. I know it’s not rocket science, but some people still might not think of doing it. I froze about 7 jugs and scattered them about in the refrigerator and I froze 7 more and then just kept swapping them out once in the evening and again the next morning. The parts arrived today which was very fast delivery. It took a little while to determine which ones to use, but with the help of the illustrations and instructions it soon became clear how to complete the repair. The refrigerator is running like new again. I’ll sure keep you in mind should I or someone I know need help getting an appliance repaired. Thanks again! Tom F.
Hey Ann & Eric, You know, I was going to update you last week but then I
thought that you guys had probably heard from me quite enough -- non-paying
customer and all. Bottom line: Eric's last instruction about
utilizing the "coupler" to attach the L1 to the purple relay did the trick.
Just like that I went from no fire to a well regulated fire. And my earlier
electrical snafu -- frying the cord that connected the oven to the wall outlet
-- simply cost me $9.00 at Lowes for a replacement cord. Sears appliance parts
store here wanted nearly $30.00 if you can believe it. So, many, many
thanks to you good folks for all your help. Couldn't have done it without you!
And "Repair Clinic" was surprisingly lame in their customer support, or lack
thereof, I should say. Thanks again and all the best to you and yours!

Hello, I just wanted to say "Thanks" for the great service regarding the
repair of our oven's board. It saved the holiday's as we had about 30 people
coming for dinner. No oven, no dinner! Thank you for your honest appraisal
of the board and then your speedy repair. I knew exactly on the front what to
expect and what it would cost. Price was extremely fair as compared to cost of
new oven. Hope you are blessed with abundant business and prosperity.
Thanks again, Charlie Spencer
Eric and Ann, Thank you so much for your help! The part we ordered arrived today and we replaced it tonight and now -- voila! the oven lights right away. We appreciate so much that you make yourselves available through allexperts.com and that you were able to supply the needed part to us for a price below where we could find it anywhere else. Thanks again for your prompt and courteous service. Shirley and Jeff Art
Hi guys, I just wanted to let you know I installed the new timer you sent me and that solved the problem. My KDI-17 is as good as new. Happy New Year! Sam
Hello.. Just letting you know that the shelf is perfect. Thanks Again for helping me find what I needed.. Have a Wonderful Happy New Year to all of you!!! Cristine Boehringer...
Ann & Eric, I received my parts on Friday...installed them in minutes....crossed my fingers and fired up the oven. It worked like a charm. My wife baked for two straight days and I cooked Christmas dinner. Thank you sooo much for all your help. Without having our oven working, Christmas wouldn't have been nearly as great. I hope your family had a wonderful Christmas as well. Jim W.
10/13/06 Hi Eric, I just wanted to thank you for all the help you have given me this week. I don't know what I would have done without it! I especially appreciated the speed in which you responded to my questions. I hope people in your area know how lucky they are to have such a knowledgeable, friendly and prompt appliance repairman at their service! I would not have known where to turn to if it wasn't for your help. Thanks again, I really appreciate it!!!!! Francine McGinnis
10/11/06 Eric, Ann and All, The old
thermostat for my Mother's 60 inch stove worked like a charm. I couldn't be
happier and neither could she. Thanks for stocking such an old part and keeping
her kitchen from a major remodeling to fill in the hole that would have been
created by a newer model. Your bookmarked in my favorites and I'll tell
others. Best Regards, Craig Vuccola
10/09/06 Ann & Eric – Affordable Appliance Parts I called in looking for a washing machine timer on the morning of October 3, 2006, You had what I needed in stock and offered it to me for a very reasonable price. You also advised that if I placed the order right away that you could get it out by priority mail in the afternoon. I placed the order and hoped that the part would be delivered by Friday so that I could install it on Saturday morning. Much to my surprise, the part was actually delivered to my home in No. Carolina on Thursday afternoon. I rushed home from work and started installing the part as soon as I arrived; by 7:30 PM the part was installed and we were digging into the mountain of dirty laundry that had accumulated. By bedtime on Thursday we had already done four loads of laundry and everything worked perfectly. Bottom line is that you did what you said you would do and that is enough for me. From henceforth I will be your customer and will recommend your company to my friends and family. Best wishes for good health and continued success in business. Sincerely, Ron B. Russell
09/15/06 Dear Mr. Campion: Please accept this letter as my appreciation for the service and attention that I received when purchasing parts from Affordable Appliance Service, Inc. Please feel free to use the following on your website or posted in your store. When I originally called Affordable Appliance Service, Inc my washer, GE Prodigy Profile, had began to make a strange noise. (I live in an apartment complex and own my own laundry units.) I thought I needed a new motor. Eric with Affordable Appliance Service, Inc. (AAS) suggested that I do two things, make sure I know that part I need and make sure I get the model number of the unit that needs the part. Eric didn't want me to order the wrong part, and he was very adamant in getting it right the first time. I then had the maintenance man of the apartment complex come in and just look at the washing machine. He confirmed that it needed a clutch. When I called back to AAS a young lady answered the phone and she, like Eric, was very informative and friendly. I ordered the part from her. When it was all said and done, ordering the part was very easy and the information provided was extremely helpful and in plain English so that I could understand what was going on. The service was prompt and the attention was extraordinary, even when they were busy they took the time to talk with me and even go so far as laugh with me. The part came in on the exact day it was promised (amazing because Memphis mail is incredibly slow) and just as easy as to replace as I was told it would be. I believe that this is an exceptional company and it makes them even more extraordinary to think AAS is located in Pennsylvania and I am in Tennessee and their word was very precise and fair. Even the maintenance man in the apartment complex couldn't believe that I had gotten the part at such an inexpensive cost or as quickly. I would like to give a heartfelt thank you to the employees I dealt with at Affordable Appliances Service, Inc and I plan on recommending this company to everyone everywhere. My panic was comforted and my problem successfully resolved and it didn't matter to anyone there that I had no idea what I was talking about. Eric and I even laughed at the fact that all I knew was how to use the equipment, you know turn it on! Thank You so much for having a company with so much ethical responsibility and a personality, You were there to teach and help me when I needed it. Thank You, Darlin' Kirkpatrick
09/05/06 Thank you soooooooooooooooooooo much! This was a excellent information! IT WORKED! I now have my washer back in less then 24 hours and it cost me no more the 18.00 dollars! Thank you so much Eric. Bless you and your family. You have been kind to a person you did not know! Thank you again. You did a super kind thing, I hope I can return the favor to someone else...God only knows. Thank you again, until the next meeting of a not working washer! Denise S.
07/14/06 Dear Eric, More than anything, I just want to let you know how much I appreciate your superior service. Several years ago, after approximately 40 years of fine service, the best local parts dealer retired. I have been at a loss since then for reasonable parts and knowledgeable advice. I first contacted you last June for a quote on a water level sensor for my own washer. I was impressed at that time, so I saved your contact information. In dealing with you, I receive quick response via phone and email, knowledgeable and friendly service, reasonable pricing including access to quality used parts and fast shipping. (I received my order on Monday!) So, in closing, please know that I am very pleased! Sincerely, Lynne F.
07/06/06 Thank you so much for your free web support! Your advice saved me over a week of waiting for Sears and solved my problem with almost no effort. I will buy from you again, and I will refer you to others. I wish you continued success. Steve L.
07/05/06 Hi Ann, I wanted to thank you so very much for your responses to my refrigerator problem. Fortunately, this past weekend being a holiday weekend my local Home Depot had a spectacular sale and we were able to go and buy a new refrigerator for a price we just couldn't pass up. Since the ref we were having the problem with was quite old and used only as a spare we thought this was the prudent way to go. Nevertheless, I wanted to thank you for your time - it was very gracious of you and I really appreciated your help! Candy H.
06/27/06 Eric--We talked to you last weekend about our GE refrigerator. My husband and I just wanted to give you a huge "Thank you" for your advice. We went on line and saw that our model was indeed one of the models in the class action lawsuit. A repairman came today and will be replacing the doors and our ice maker. We probably would not have ever found out about our frig because I usually don't send in the registration cards. Now I will! We really appreciate your advice and I will order additional parts from you and refer my friends to your site if they need any parts also. Judy H.
06/26/06 Hi Ann - Received the motor and pump last evening, Installed it this morning and everything works perfectly. Just want to say thanks! What a pleasure to find someone like you guys who do what they say and are so nice doing it. That's very hard to find these days. Keep up the good work. THANKS. Danny C.
06/02/06 Hi Eric and Ann, Thanks Eric for your help today regarding what to do about our Kenmore refrigerator icing over in the freezer compartment (wrapping a piece of wire around the defrost heater and then down the drain). In a hectic world where few are willing to take the time to give advice on how to remedy appliance problems without a service call (or, possibly, have the "know-how" to do it), it was refreshing that you guys took the time! Thanks again!! Gene Z.
05/13/06 Hello! Element arrived Saturday afternoon. Drilled 3 tiny holes. Fit perfectly. Works perfect. Thermostat also works perfectly. Thanks for great service and saving my oven. (O'Keefe and Merritt oven). Robert M.
05/03/06 Hello, I would like to thank you for the prompt service , the good price and your overall handling of my account.. You were less then half the price of two other vendors. Thank You. Jerry H.
04/04/06 Ann, I wanted to thank you for the wonderful service. This is the first time I have ordered appliance parts over the internet. Your website and personal service made it effortless. Including the screws with the supports was crucial as we didn't have the old parts available. Needless to say everything fit perfectly. You can be sure I will recommend Affordable Appliance to anyone who needs parts. Sincerely, Elden B.
02/24/06 Hello Ann, I just wanted to say thank you for your tips on my GE refrigerator. Sure enough, it was a moisture related issue covered under GE’s recall. The repairman came today, replaced the defrost heater, ordered a new ice bucket and doors for the freezer and refrigerator, all at their expense. I would not have found out about the recall if I hadn’t stumbled upon your website. Thanks again for your help and offering such a useful service. Craig B.
01/10/06 Highest recommendation. Great response. Very knowledgeable. Saved lots of $$, thanks to Eric and his web site. Also, website very easy to navigate and understand. Bill C.
01/04/06 Hello Eric! The refurbished part was received quickly
and works great, thanks again! Mike B.
01/04/06 Eric: All right!! You qualify as an EXPERT to me! I
followed the directions you gave below, and the freezer began to run as soon as
I turned it on! Thanks SO much for the advice, the sale, and the follow up!!
Highest Regards, Jay R.
01/01/06 Happy New Year, Eric! I am SO very glad I stumbled upon
your sight when I was hunting for help online! I am also so very glad that you
are knowledgeable and diagnosed the problem quickly and was able to help me
figure it out with you, rather than just selling me a part. I would like you to
know that I will be letting everyone at work (and home, as well as family) know
about your company and expertise, and that I would highly recommend Affordable
Appliance to anyone near or far!!
Thank you again for all of your help! Hope the new year is wonderful!
Miriam V.
12/30/05 Hello Good People at Affordable Appliance! Thank you for your speedy shipping! You said I would receive by Friday and I certainly have! I would kindly appreciate some assistance with installing it. Thank you, Miriam V.
12/15/05 Thanks for your professionalism! All your help and follow up. You have been a pleasure to do business with. You all have wonderful Holidays as well. Best Regards, Louie C.
12/14/05 Affordable Appliance....Hi, I just wanted to drop you a line and tell you that you guys are GREAT!!. I originally e-mailed you, not knowing which part I needed and also described my problem and what the washer machine was doing. I got a response that same day (which happened to be a Sunday). I read your e-mail Monday and you told me what the problem was. I ordered the part Monday, received the part Tuesday, and installed part Tuesday evening. The clip at the bottom of the clutch pulley was a pain in the rear to put on but finally got it. Now my washer machine works again. A++++ for service. A+++ for fast shipping. THANK YOU. Have a great Holiday & have a happy New Year. Henry S.
12/04/05 Hello! I have received parts from your company before and was very happy with the service. So, I am in need of some help again and thought of you immediately. My microwave has stopped heating food completely. It sounds like it is working, the plate inside rotates but nothing heats. Not sure I can tell you much more than that. Is this something you can help with? Do you service these? Thank You! Ali J.
11/03/05 Greeting: I was in dire need of washer repair on a Friday afternoon and could find no-one to do the job. I knew what part I needed, but had no idea how to install it until I found your page at: http://www.affordableappliance.com/Tips/CouplerInstallation.htm I just wanted to express my gratitude to your company for posting this information. I replaced the coupler in my Whirlpool washer in about an hour with your instructions. It took that long because I took pictures along the way in case things were different than described in your document so I would know how to put it back together. Turns out, your instructions were spot on and this turned out to be a rather simple job. I just needed a little guidance along the way and you provided it. Again, thank you ever so much for being here…Shane D.
10/12/05 Eric, Yes, the fan came in on Saturday, and I went happily to work reinstalling the fan, repacking the insulation, and giving the fridge a good cleaning around the compressor, and overall. Kitty went about scrubbing all the interior parts, and then we reinstalled the box back into its place in the kitchen, and about three hours later, turned on the power, to hear the happy hum of the fan! In a matter of an hour, it was asking to be refilled with its contents, and pulled the temp down to 32 degrees! For the first time since we owned the house, we had to turn down the thermostat to get to the optimum temperature. I would like to take this time to thank you and whatever staff was involved in assisting me in this chore. It is rare to find a company today that is as willing to assist someone as you have all been. I was running out of options and would have had to spend about $4500 to replace this unit with something that would have fit. I have told everyone I know about how helpful you were, and will refer anyone I can to you if they are ever in need of any parts that you may supply, For starters, my brother has on old Kenmore fan that has been in the family for years and years, and along with being a great fan, it is also a reminder of our childhood years. The motor is shot, and he would very much like to repair or replace it. Again, thank you and your staff for all your help, and I will try to advertise for you as best as I can! Respectfully submitted, Marion J. K.
02/11/05 Hello, I ordered a part from you a few weeks ago. Our refrigerator had stopped working. I found an email on a forum somewhere written by you with extremely detailed step by step instructions on how to diagnose and troubleshoot my problem. So I ordered the part from you that I determined I needed following these instructions. A defrost control module. It was as easy to order it from you as locally, because no one keeps it in stock anyway. I just wanted to let you know it worked. It was exactly what I needed. My refrigerator is working like new and I had it working before a repairman could even be scheduled to come to my house. The total cost of the repair was less than it would have cost just to have someone come out and look at it. The next time I have an appliance that needs fixing, you will be the first people I call. I just wanted to thank you. Aurle G.
03/18/04 Ann, Thank you very much, your directions helped me find
the ID tag, that was obviously right there in front my eyes, and I never noticed
it in all these years ... Pierre R.
03/17/04 Thanks for your quick response! Can you please keep me in
mind if you ever to get a used door? Thanks, Phil M.
Thanks for the info, it looks like they can fix it. Bob G.
03/16/04 Your response was very helpful. What does a trivet look like? Can I order one from you? I need one bad. Thanks, Christina H.
03/16/04 No Thanks - But let me know if you come across anything used in the near future. Ben R.
03/16/04 Thank you for your prompt response. Anne H.
03/14/04 Thank you for getting to my request so quickly!! I need to give my husband this info. and rearrange some finances...I am hoping to order these parts in the coming week. I will contact you when I can make the purchase. Thank you so, so very much. (dreaming of being able to bake brownies lol) Kendra W.
03/14/04 Thank You for your time. John K.
03/13/04 Thank you for your prompt service. Greg
W.
03/13/04 Thanks for all your help. You, your service and your website are
great! Don P.
03/12/04 Thank you Ann. I will book mark your page, you company sounds
like one I would like to get all my parts from in the future. God Bless and
Thank you. Delores P.
03/11/04 Parts work great, Thanks. Robert L.
03/09/04 I received the motor today and installed it. My washer is working again! Thanks Eric for your help!! Great service! Jessie A.
03/06/04 Thank you so much! I knew there had to be someone out there with an answer and luckily I found your company. Thanks again... Bob M.
03/04/04 I want to say how much I appreciate your fast response to my request and your excellent price but I could not get it past the wife. She has been begging for a new stove for years. It has got to be a real pain to answer all the requests you receive and not get the courtesy of a reply back. I will keep you bookmarked though as this is exactly the kind of service that is so hard to find these days and I will pass your site on to anyone who requests the name of some one reliable. And by the way I would have bought it in a second if not for my wife wanting a new stove. Sears wanted $90.00 for the exact same thing. Thanks so much and take care. Sincerely, Thomas C.
03/04/04 Thanks Ann for letting me know. It is Friday early AM here
and it has not arrived. But Global does not usually arrive for 5 days from the
US, even though they say maybe 3 to 5. I am not expecting it until Saturday
anyway. Regular Air Mail says 7 to 10 days but usually is 10 to 14 days.
Thanks and I will email you as soon as it gets here. Thanks again.
Hank L. (Japan)
03/03/04 Thank you so much!! I just placed
the order through the link provided.
Cindy I.
03/02/04 THANKS Ann for the information. If I need parts, you
certainly are at the top of my list. Jim W.
03/02/04 Ann: Thanks for your response. I remember seeing a screen (don't
remember if it was used or new) for $12. What I really need is the handle that
came off the lint screen, making it difficult to move the screen in and out of
the dryer. I hope you sell them with a handle. Thanks -
Sanjiv S.
03/02/04 Dear Ann, Thank you so much for your prompt reply & information. The part was for a rental refrigerator. I found a supplier that would send me the part for a mere $89.43 & include shipping. We are talking about a 3" triangular piece of sheet metal with 3 holes drilled into it. Of course the renter wants his refrigerator 'right now'. So I made the thing- & low & behold, IT WORKS ! Take Care, Dan J.
03/01/04 Thank You for your prompt reply. Just installed the part yesterday. Had trouble identifying the correct wiring. Everything was reversed on the new part. Thought red to red would be correct, (that is the way it was on the other part). It went on the green side though. Used a multimeter to figure it out. Thanks again. Mark L.
02/29/04 Very quick and accurate responses. He explained every step clearly and I was able to get to the root of the problem with ease. Robert F.
02/27/04 Excellent advice. Ann was on the
Spot. I looked at my appliance and sure enough, she identified the problem and
even included the part number to order to repair it. All this in less than 1
hour after I submitted my question. WELL DONE!
Trevor H.
02/25/04 Thank you so much! You are
wonderful. I have to say, you have great customer service skills. It's nice to
enquire with a company that will actually help me in a timely manner. Very
rare. I look forward to hearing from you tomorrow. Thanks again.
Heather I.
02/23/04 Thanks for all of your help. I
will look at it this weekend again and decide what to do.
Jim E.
02/22/04 Ann....Thank You very much for your research. Please keep me in mind if you run across this part - just in case.... Susan M.
02/19/04 Hello, I ordered a dishwasher kick plate assembly from you a few weeks ago. It was exactly the right thing I needed. I would like to thank you for your friendly and prompt service (Ann with her informative e-mail, and Elaine with her help on the phone and little note on the invoice). It is nice to deal with people who care about their customers (even when they are 1st time customers). I would definitely do business with you again. Thank you, John N.
02/17/04 Thanks for your prompt response and the discount. In this
case, we opt not to replace the burner. It will make more sense for us to
buy a brand new oven/stove instead. Thanks again.
Ernie Y.
02/16/04 Ann - Thanks for everything...paperwork and part arrived in good
order and all is well! Received the shipping charge refund paperwork as well -
Thanks! Your company is definitely in my "favorites" folder....but I hope
you won't be insulted if I say I hope I don't have to order parts from you
again!!! Best Mike L.
02/15/04 Ann, Thanks so much for effort on looking up the hinges.
Sounds like it may be time to look into a new oven rather than keep working on
this one. I will keep your address until I decide which way I'll go. F.Y.I.
out of several emails to different places looking for these hinges you are the
only one that responded. Thanks again for the response.
Mark S.
02/14/04 Thank you Eric. I sure appreciate your help, and thank you for the combined shipping. You guys have been so helpful to me. The lady at the church who I work for thinks I’m not too sane. (whose washing machine this is) I believe you are close…in fact between us we may have almost as much sanity as any one who didn’t have too much. In one discussion with Ann, I think she mentioned a fan, and I noticed pin holes and label on the clock board mounted on the touchpad frame. It gets pretty warm, but I didn’t really think it was too hot – but, it is time and temperature. The board gets pretty hot to solder it, but it doesn’t stay hot very long. Well, we’ll just see this stuff when it comes in and make it work. Thank you for your help. Ray K.
02/12/04 Hi Ann Thanks very much for
your help. The problem is solved. I checked the drain and there's no more icing
up at the drain outlet so that the problem actually was the backward fan blade
installation - what a relief. I think when you suggested that the fan might be
the cause of an overly cold coil compartment i.e. it being loose on the shaft,
etc. , that cued me into thinking about the possibility of a backwardly
installed fan so that your input was key to the solution. It really was
such a silly problem that I suppose it could be easily overlooked by any service
person - I'm actually somewhat surprised that GE didn't have fool-proof means of
ensuring that the fan only went on one way period or that a special one-way
cupped blade wasn't necessary for proper air flow. Anyway, Thanks again.
Paul M.
02/11/04 I want to thank you very much for your help. My son and husband
were in your store Saturday to get the part for the dishwasher, and it works.
Thanks again. Irene G.
02/10/04 Just wanted to let you know
it went in fine and I now have an oven again. Thanks for all of your help Don
S.
02/10/04 Ann Thank you - it's so nice to do business with someone with honesty and integrity, and I deeply appreciate it. It will be nice for me if the shipping is less, but if not, it can't be helped. Again, Thanks, Sandra R.
02/09/04 Thank you so much for responding. If you ever get some in, please let me know. I'm having a heck of a time finding them. Melanie J.
02/06/04 You are absolutely the best!!! Thank you so much. I ordered the knobs today. About the glass for the front, I actually have the front piece of glass intact. I guess what I really need is the frame it goes in, sort of like a picture frame. The frame broke and the glass came out. Can I order just that and, maybe even more importantly, would I be able to put it in myself? I will definitely keep you in my "favorites" file for future reference - you are the only company that even bothered to reply - and so quickly. If I can ever, ever recommend you to anybody I know here in Arizona you can bet your bottom dollar I will! Hope you guys are having a wonderful evening in Pennsylvania!! How's the weather? Cheryl M.
02/05/04 Ann & Eric Thanks for all the timely responses. I now know that we are going to replace the part instead of replacing our old compactor (they've gotten expensive in the last 15-20 years!). I'm headed to your website now to order. Again - thanks so much! Ree K.
02/04/04 Thank you so much for your quick response. I will have to talk this over (with my better half) and decide if the oven is worth it. My neighbor (who has lived here since the house was built) told me he thinks the oven is close to 28 years old. May not be worth it. Thanks again and I will certainly order the part from you should we decide to go that route. I appreciate all your help. Randy
02/02/04 Thank you. I will remember you the next time I need some parts. I will also let others know about your great service. I will also ship you part back to you today. Thanks A Ton, Jeremy O.
01/28/04 Quick and reasonable response...thanks! I had no idea this
site existed until today when I searched on Google. It's great!

Thank You for the information. You have been very helpful. Have a Great Day.

01/26/04 Hi Ann, It was so kind of you to
respond to my parts search inquiry. I will certainly keep you folks in
mind in the future. Thank you. Kirk H.
01/21/04 Hi Eric & Ann...............Geeze, I
feel like we're old friends! Bill P.
01/19/04 Good morning, I was having
some difficulty in installing a new GE dryer belt, in thinking it was to long.
That was until I saw a schematic of how the belt need to be installed , on your
web site. Thanks for the help. Robert
W.
01/17/04 Eric and Ann were the biggest help and I would rate them the Best
in helping me fix my Washing Machine. Thank You Eric and Ann a Million.
Jeffrey P.
01/12/04 Dear Ann, We finally installed the
148220 Oven Ignitor. It had to be slightly modified but it works great.
If you come across any more of the 1482212 igniters (for the top burners) please
let us know. It was an exact match. Thanks again for your help and Happy
New Year. Thomas B.
01/10/04 Ann: Thank you for your help with
this, you were helpful. Thank You Again.

There was an old dryer in Sea Girt
Whose noise made its owners' ears hurt.
Thanks to Eric and Ann,
Who devised a fine plan,
Its demise became wise to avert. John U.
01/08/04 Thanks Eric for the useful answers
but more so for your sense of humor! Michael

01/05/04 Verify knowledgeable. Thanks so much. Samuel K.
01/04/04 Thank you for your help. Your response was both accurate
and easy to understand. I WILL definitely be visiting your web-site in the
future for all of my repair needs. Clark K.
01/03/04 Same day response time. Answered my
questions with prompt and accurate answers. Ann was very polite and
offered more assistance if needed. Thanks again.

12/29/03 Ann, Received the part today and I just wanted to let you
know that it was a snap to replace and it was the problem. The washer works as
good as new. Thanks for saving me a trip to Sears that would have most likely
cost me over $700.00!! Great service you offer. I will be a returning
customer. Thanks also for the speedy service. Steve
W.
12/26/03 Thanks for your help! I've sent
your first message on to my husband to see if he knows which part isn't working
and I'll get back to you. Ellen G.
12/22/03 Thanks for your suggestions in what
to look for in another dishwasher. Any other thoughts you might have would
be appreciated as well. Karen K.
12/20/03 Ann gave clear answer quickly to find
the problem. Even though I did not repair my refrigerator since it is late
and I just bought a multi tester to diagnose the problem, I still appreciate
Ann's assistance. Ann is the best. Thanks so much to her and others
like her for giving time and effort to help others.

12/17/03 Thank you so much for time and advice it is much
appreciated. Happy Holidays! Sino B.
12/12/03 Hi Ann, The package of parts arrived over the weekend.
Thank you for your prompt service and shipping. I've put the washer timer
in and it seems to be fine. We haven't checked all the cycles yet.. but the
one load we ran was okay. I'm not 100% sure if I really needed the little
rubber feet.. as they looked to be in the same condition as the ones on our
machine. I cleaned ours up a little.. and the lid quick sticking down.. I'll
probably keep them as spares. Thank You so much for your prompt, reliable
service and your professional advice. Joe K.
12/10/03 Dear Ann, Boy! You guys have some kind service! I trust things
are going well for your business. I figured anybody that goes home and answers
E-Mails after working all day, certainly should be. Nice to see for a change.
Most of the inquiries I sent out made quick check on model number and said
either could not identify or not available, nothing else. If they had bothered
to check they probably would have found the same things I found and probably
yourself. At any rate, Yes I would appreciate a picture. Does control have
thermostatic wire coming from it? I'm assuming you will E-mail the picture?
Sorry for all the trouble, but is my Mothers Oven so don't want to receive wrong
part, she's already having a fit. Regards, K. Miller
12/10/03 Eric and Ann, got back from my trip this week and installed the Start Relay. My refrigerator works fine now. Thanks for your expert advise and quick response. The price of the part was good too! Keep up the fine work.. Best Regards, Bob L.
12/10/03 Ann, I received my GE burner unit today and it is an exact fit. However, it looks more new than used. Did you ship the wrong one? Larry A.
12/09/03 Thank you so much for correcting my order! I really appreciate it! Kelly K.
12/08/03 Ann, Happy Holidays to you as well. As a small business owner myself, I appreciate you service. BTW, the thermostat works fine and solves a long standing problem I have had with the upper over. I will certainly use your company for all my future appliance part needs. Do you offer troubleshooting advice as well? And, finally if I am replacing an appliance, can you comment on brands that may be more trouble-free based on your experience in selling replacement parts? Cheers, Larry A.
12/08/03 Thank you. I appreciate your prompt reply. I look forward to getting the part. Rick O.
12/07/03 Eric & Ann, I'll get them on order soon. Your welcome for the compliment-its very surprising to get personal service with quick response so keep up the good work. Thank you for getting back to me so quickly. Very few companies do that anymore. Do you know if the black is interchangeable functionally with the gray part. Chris B.
12/07/03 Wow, customer service. I have heard of it... but never actually
experienced it! Benton B.
12/06/03 Very helpful. Even left an 800
number if I had any more questions (which I did). Thank you for your help.
Tom C.
12/05/03 Ann - Thank you for your assistance. I'll look at it again tonight and place my order accordingly. You've been a tremendous help! Aaron R.
12/04/03 Ann, The rack and knob arrived safely! Pulling the stove out from the wall will have to wait until after the holidays. Meanwhile, both ovens rose to the Thanksgiving occasion of 7 people. Gary S.
12/02/03 Got it already! Great service! Thanks, Dave S.
12/01/03 You were so right about it being the coils. It took ten minutes to change, one minute to test and five more minutes to put the dryer back into working condition. I will be calling the service company tomorrow to complain because not only did they misdiagnose the problem but he broke the plastic clips on the door frame of the dryer. But thank you so much for taking the time to reevaluate the diagnosis, you saved me money I honestly did not have to spend. Again, Thank You so much. Kim S.
11/26/03 Ann, you two are an interesting couple. Is yours a two person business? I'm guessing you are 37 and he is 42. You have had your business for 7 1/2 years. You both seem to share in the correspondence aspect of your business so I assume it is not a huge operation. Who takes care of the kids? You don't need to answer I'm just a senile old man. Good luck, Bill C.
11/26/03 OK, I'm a better guesser than you but not by much. I'm a 78yr old retired physician. Married to same delightful woman for 55 years this coming June 8th. We have four daughters and nine grandchildren. We live six months in California and six in Nebraska. The kids are scattered all over so we see them irregularly and only very very rarely all at once. We like it that way because we have a wonderful life of our own and really enjoy retirement. Thank you for visiting with me - who knows someday we might meet. Regards, Bill C.
11/25/03 Dear Ann, Thank you for your time and assistance. I am book marking your site, and will use again in the near future. Have a wonderful Holiday. Again, Thank You, Lucy B.
11/21/03 Hi Ann! I just wanted to send you a quick note to let you know that I received my parts today. They are EXACTLY what I needed. Thank you for all the wonderful assistance that you have given me. You are just terrific!!! Until next time!!! Dennis D.
11/21/03 Thank you very much… I have enjoyed working with your company. And looking forward to the delivery of the parts… If the service is any indication of the quality of the parts I will be very happy. Thanks for taking time to answer a few questions before I placed the order. If I need additional items I will look to your company to provide those items. Ed S.
11/20/03 Hi Ann, The package arrived safely yesterday. Thanks again for selling the dispenser to me. Rich C.
11/15/03 Correct defrost heater arrived today. I really appreciate your excellent and fast service. It was a pleasure buying from Affordable Appliance Service. Thank you! Ronald L.
11/13/03 Hey Eric, I've owned a company for the past 6 years that designs props for Halloween and small haunted houses. Many of the props are low pressure pneumatics and are designed to operate using dishwasher solenoids as a control valve. Most people have no idea where to look for such parts so I point them in your direction. Your web site is very informative and easy to navigate. The link to your site is at www.terrorsyndicate.com under the links section. Thanks and I will recheck those wires with a meter as advised. Steve D.
11/12/03 You guys do a great job. I had that shelf in my hands so quickly! I will definitely continue to do business with you! Lynne B.
11/11/03 Hello from Fresno, CA: The box containing the dryer console glass for my Maytag dryer arrived the other day. I didn't unpack it so I wouldn't take a chance breaking the glass on the trip from my mother's house to my house, so the glass will remain safely packed and will sit atop the Maytag dryer until the replacement occurs. Thanks very much, once again, for contacting me and sending the glass. A reminder to keep me in mind if any of the classic automatic washers/dryers surface for sale. Hope you enjoy the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday weekend. Sincerely, George H.
11/10/03 We have a washer!!! Thanks, Jerry C.
11/08/03 Hello! Thank you for your good service. We received the parts yesterday. I'm very pleased to work with you and hopefully we can do it again. Regards, Michel A.
11/07/03 Got the part today and it's exactly what my mother needs - Thanks for the excellent service! Nick D.
10/29/03 Thank you! I will go ahead and order the part on your website. Have a great day! Nick M.
10/29/03 Got It... Installed It...Thanks! Jeremy J.
10/28/03 Dear Ann, Thanks again for your help. The oven buttons work perfect. Don D.
10/23/03 Hi! Well we now have ice! A plug connector came off of the valve from the last time we were checking it. I don't know what is different than before except filling the tray with water to start it but it works. And I thank you all a lot. I will be definitely recommending you to family and friends whenever they need something!! I haven't received the shelf yet maybe today. Thanks so much! Jennifer S.
10/20/03 Hello, Thank you so much for your advice. It may take me a few days to get it checked out and I'll let you know what parts I may need. You are very kind to offer your help in figuring it out. Yours, Mel S.
10/18/03 Hello Ann, Thanks for the pump, it arrived quickly (Friday) and very nicely packaged. I had to do a few modifications to make the pump work. At least electrically it is compatible! Charlie C.
10/17/03 Hi Ann, I forgot all about this, please if you still have them go ahead and charge my card and ship them to me? By the way do you sell ice makers? Thanks, Jen S.
10/17/03 Dear Ann & Eric, Thank You for the picture. This is the part we are looking for...this is great...Thank You. We are waiting for the part ASAP. We need both Left & Right pieces. Regards, Cenk G.
10/15/03 Thank You very much for all your efforts. I will recommend you and use you in the future. Charles C.
10/13/03 You are great! Thanks so much for getting the part # for me. I will search as you suggest. Alice M.
10/12/03 Eric-Thanks for the great (and detailed!) response. I'm going to pry myself away from the television in awhile and see if I can locate the faulty device. Just curious - are all the below items things you guys normally have in stock, or would I have to wait for parts to be ordered? Either way - the price sounds right, and if I can track down the problem I'd be glad to order from you given the great help you've offered. Thanks, RJ
10/10/03 Thank You very much, it has been a pleasure dealing with you! Bart P.
10/08/03 Thanks for your help Ann, I will use your service in the future and will refer others. Barry L.
10/07/03 I will give it a turn and see what happens but I have the feeling I will be ordering one from you soon. Thanks Ann. Joe D.
10/07/03 Hi Ann, Whew.. Thank You.. That is good news on the microwave. We appreciate you taking the time to check it out for us. Also, the part for the Kitchen Aid arrived today and all is well.. I'm not sure what to do with the old piece as I would like to recycle.. but I suppose that it's off to the landfill since it's hard to tell what kind of plastic it is. Maybe I'll pull the hardware off it to keep back for spares.. not that we'll ever need them... if you could use the rollers, slider or any parts off this piece, I'd be happy to send it or the parts to you... maybe someone would have a need... It has the seals and all in tact... but I find it hard to believe that anyone would ever have a need for those pieces, though I could be wrong??? I'm a recycle nut here but in Bay Village, it's a real hassle to recycle.. when I lived in Ft. Wayne, IN it was a lot easier.. what they didn't take from the bin curbside, they took at the local grocery store at the recycling center there... so it was very convenient. At any rate, Sheryl and I would like to thank you for the prompt service and the assistance. Joe S.
10/04/03 We want to thank you for your advise on my refrigerator problem. I replaced the temperature control and it is now working fine. Thanks again! Marco B.
10/03/03 Thanks very much, and good weekend wishes back to you. George H.
10/03/03 Hi Ann, Thank you for your email and the additional part number/pricing information for the washer/dryer items. Unfortunately, I had to switch gears today and jump to refrigerator repair. :O) I called and talked to Elaine today and she helped me out with the required part number/pricing and ordering process in your absence. I noted that this had been broke for a while and I kind of forgot about it... but we wanted to get this fixed before moving onto any additional washer/drier repairs. I was also teasing that my wife keeps breaking stuff faster than I can fix!! :O) At any rate, I got a few funny comments from Elaine and I appreciated her going along with my humor.. Thanks again for the information.. I'll keep it archived for reference.. and will get back in touch with you soon on this. Regards, Joe S.
10/03/03 I received the part for my stove today, and I have successfully installed it. I did not know that the unit would come without the front label on it. I had to take the sticky front label off of the old one, and put it on this one. No big deal though, I completed it without any troubles. I got it installed, and now, my oven works as it is supposed to. I want to thank you for all the help with this, and because of all the help, I decided that your company had earned my business, so I ordered the part from you. I felt that was only right. So, in short, I thank you very much, for helping me troubleshoot my stove/oven. You have just saved me between $300 and $400. Thank you. Chris M.
10/01/03 Eric, your simple & accurate instructions to solve our annoying problem (getting rid of the buzzer sound on our dryer) were great! Thanks for the prompt reply. You have a new loyal customer!! Andy B
09/28/03 I set the dials as you recommended, and also turned off the 'reduces exterior moisture' switch and the Refrigerator temperature went right down as desired within an hour. Thank you so much. Melissa G.
09/26/03 Thank you for your prompt response. I have located two racks here in the Seattle area. I appreciate your time and help and shall file your firm for future use/reference. Again, Thanks. Fred K.
09/23/03 Thanks a Lot !!! Your information ,support and the promised time you said you would get an answer to my request was right on the money...You saved me a bundle...all it took was a little information from you and I was able to fix it myself...Thanks Again--Michael W.
09/23/03 Ann, Just got back from vacation. I installed the part and everything works well on my Maytag (that would be the Maytag that makes great commercials and really pathetic appliances) Thanks for your help. I'm happy we worked things out. I would order again. Dave R.
09/22/03 Yes, Ann, maybe I should try the used part # 305205 instead of the new. Thanks for suggesting it. Jim H.
09/20/03 Thank you very much. I really appreciate you getting back to me so quickly. Howard F.
09/20/03 Thanks for the information. I have bookmarked your site, and will make sure to check with you for any future needs. Jeff T.
09/20/03 Dear Ann, Thanks so much for your quick response that was so informative. I wondered if we should change repairman and now I know the answer is yes, as well as keep on Frigidaire's case. Your insight into to the problem was most helpful and gives me something else to go on. Thank again and I too wish your service dept. was closer. Take care...Kay D.
09/19/03 Thanks Eric and Ann! I found a mud dobbers nest attached under the vacuum switch in question. After I removed it, the fill cycle on my washer worked just fine. Oh well...I guess we have special problems out here in the country! Mario A.
09/19/03 The best!! A 10 plus!! Bill T.
09/19/03 Dear Ann, You were right...it is the belt. Thanks for your prompt reply. I'm going to your web site right now to order the part. I hope it comes with installation instructions because I'm very new at this. Thanks again, Mel M.
09/17/03 "Dear Ann, It rolls, it rolls" was cute, but...IT FLAMES, IT FLAMES!!! The repair package came in today. I got home a little before 8. Checked out the wire colors and said "what the heck". Only took me an hour including reinstallation and testing. It'll be nice to put on dry clothes again. :) Thanks, guys (as usual, as always). John U.
09/17/03 Quick and thorough. Great service. Tom W.
09/17/03 Dear Ann, Your were kind enough to send me a used timer at the end of April (you sent it to a different address which is my home in the country) and I used it about 10 times or so. The timer had been the problem and after installing it, the dryer worked just fine until the motor finally gave out so I decided to spring for a brand new dryer and removed your timer before sending the old dryer to the dump. At that time, I had a terrible time finding a replacement part since this item has been discontinued and I was delighted to find that you had one. It has been sitting on my desk for a couple of months now because I wanted to return it to you but mislaid our e-mails with your Company Name, Address etc, but came across them this morning. This one is still in perfect condition and I felt that someone else might have the same problem and might be able to use it so I am returning it to you.-I don't want anything for it, I was just delighted that you were so helpful to me at that time. Sincerely, Desmond K.
09/15/03 Hello, Thank you for not allowing me to purchase the wrong item. I ordered that one because I was told that it was correct by another site, but they wanted $50 for it. Please let me know how to check the thermostat and heat fuse so that I do not buy the wrong thing. Thank you very much, Walt P.
09/14/03 These people deserve a bonus or something special from this website. These folks corresponded back and forth with me for a week and even though I am sure I tested their patience and nerves, they were always professional and kind towards me. The best part of the experience is they have shared their knowledge with me. Perhaps when my kids grow up my knowledge will help them. Eric and Ann were two of the best people I have ever dealt with using your site and I hope they are recognized for their efforts. Mike P.
09/12/03 Thank you Ann for the reply and the hot tip about Sears having the part. I'll check them out. Dean P.
09/11/03 Dear Ann, Thanks again for all your assistance. I've met many wonderful people through the internet and I count you as a real jewel! Regards, Donna N.
09/10/03 Thanks for the parts. I received them on 9-9-03. Good service and prices - I don't know where else I could have bought a used clock/timer etc. I'll be back. Thanks, Glenn S.
09/10/03 The unit is up at the cottage and I will have to go up their to try that. I don't know.......but we did a major cleaning after boiling lobsters and steamers and we may have hit them. How should they be and how does it affect the unit. Thanks. you are the first person to ask these questions.......this is good trouble shooting.........run a training class for the other million companies on the web and make some money. Thanks again for your help. Tony D.
09/10/03 Eric and Ann have been above and beyond the call of duty. They are spending a lot of time trying to help me fix something that they can not physically see. Very impressive!. Michael P.
09/10/09 Ann, This is a note to let you know that I have not fallen off the face of the earth, but rather am still interested in the items below. I hope your third bay comes through with the goods real soon. Aryeh K.
09/09/03 Ann, You are too kind. Charge me 20% though. I have been enough of a pain in the ass! I want you to still like me just in case I need your excellent services again. ; ) Thanks Again Ann, God Bless, Dean H.
09/09/03 Thank you for getting back to me, and that is great news!!! I will definitely order it sometime today. Louise S.
09/07/03 Fast responses to an unusual question. Certainly appreciate all the help! Donna N.
09/02/03 Quick response with good diagnostic advice. Bill M.
09/01/03 Excellent customer service and very fast and accurate answers. I will be back when I need you again. Joe B.
08/21/03 Eric- You were right! It was the "Pot & Pans" little switch. I bought the meter and was finding out how to use it when I thought I would examine the switches you were going to have me test. I noticed a discoloring around the connection, moved it back and forth, and a rather large flash occurred, and it started working. I turned off the circuit-breaker, cleaned up the connections, and it works! Do I wait for it to die again, wait for a fire to pop up inside the dishwasher, replace it, or not worry about it? I'm sure liabilities prevent you from one or more of the answers, but any other advice I should know about? Jay H.
08/21/03 Thanks Ann for the quote. Yes, it is the timer, a couple of the electrical contacts broke on one side. Used sounds good to me so I'm heading over to the order page now. Thanks, Dan C.
08/20/03 Ann, Thank you so much for your earlier help, the knob on the oven was just off of the manual mark....DUH! Thank you again...it is so great when someone helps you instead of trying to gouge you. You guys are the greatest!!! Kirk S.
08/19/03 Dear Elaine and the other helpers, I ordered a drive belt for my Kenmore washer last week and installed it easily myself . The instructions were clear and easy to understand once I studied the pictures. It arrived in just 2 days to my home in Iowa. If I had even been able to find the part locally, it would have cost at least 3 times more than I paid you folks. Thank you all for the great service. I look forward to doing business with you again soon. Steve J.
08/18/03 Hi Ann, Thanks for your response. Eureka -- you're right! The tag was, indeed, tucked behind the crisper! The model # is TPK160EN0D and the serial # is 097R012839 (manufactured 9/87). Hope this helps, and thanks for your patience! Take care, John S.
08/16/03 Thank you Ann for your help. I appreciate it. Just as you said, when I disassembled the dryer I got ounces of lint from the insides, pounds from under the machine. I put it back together and returned it
to service much cleaner. It is in the church and doesn't get heavy use, but has probably never been cleaned. You guys have a great weekend too. Best to you guys. Ray K.
08/13/03 Your suggestion was a huge money saver for me. The Sears repairman who came out to the house wanted to charge me $450, and I contacted you in search of a more economical alternative. You provided prompt, straightforward and honest information. Thanks again. I will keep your company in mind for future appliance needs and be sure to recommend you to others. Thanks again, Glenn S.
08/06/03 Absolutely correct!!! Very Fast, Precise answer. Thank You Very Much. Martin B.
08/05/03 Eric was clear and prompt with his answers. He knows his stuff. Brian C.
08/05/03 This is the black plastic door handle for the upper oven. 6 inches long with 3 screw holes. I would like to thank Ann again for her help in locating this part. What great service! Carol M.
08/04/03 Dear Ann, You are an angel !! It looks perfect. Please let me know what the price is and the procedure for ordering and paying for it. I can't believe that you went to so much trouble, but it's nice to know that there are still people like you in the work force. I would really like to email someone to let them know what a wonderful job you did for me. Can you give me a name and email address?? I look forward to hearing from you. Judi M.
08/03/03 Hi Eric, thanks for such a quick response. I found my problem behind the panel in the freezer, the fan is worn out. I started turning it with my finger and it started to run and cool again. It stopped eventually so I'll have to replace the fan. Thanks a lot for your help, I almost threw away a perfectly good refrigerator. Glad I waited and talked to you guys first. You saved me a lot of money that I really can't spare. Thanks again.. GOD Bless Tony P.
08/02/03 Ann, Yipeee! Flushed the drain using hot water and a turkey baster....and sucked out a dust ball....once removed, drain flows freely. Thanks so much for your help on this! I will check the bolts and level the fridge...and you are right on target there. We bought the fridge from my sister...worked fine at her house and has been a royal pain at mine...leaks, can't use the ice dispenser, etc. If simple bolt tightening and leveling does not help, will order the valve.
I commend you on your web site AND your service. Your web is:
· Pleasing to the eye
· Very easy to navigate and find information
· VERY informative
And….I cannot say “THANKS” enough for walking me through this simple and cost saving solution. As an owner of a small business myself, I know that a happy customer willing to tout your praises is the best advertising….I will do my part and sing your praises at each given opportunity!! Thanks again! Linda P.
08/02/03 Ann, Thank for your very fine service and attention. Cheers, Larry A.
08/01/03 Hi Eric, Thank You for your prompt reply. If I need any further help I will check back with you. Regards, Sandee G.
07/29/03 Ann, that was a very fast and helpful response! Very impressive and useful website, but more important, are the professionals that answer emails timely and knowledgeably. Thank you for your help with my problem! Chris F.
07/29/03 Thanks Ann. You were very prompt and your answers were very clear. I'll follow your instructions and let you know how it goes. Ed W.
07/28/03 Thank you very much Eric and Ann. Just as you predicted, we found a kid's sock in the pump. It is not easy to open up a washer to get to the pump. It took us more 3 hours. Thanks again. Hai X.
07/25/03 Thank you Eric. Problem apparently resolved. A piece of insulation had fallen into the fan behind the unit which jammed it. Cleared the fan and it runs normally. The refrigerator and freezer temperature quickly returned to normal once the fan was cleared. Apparently without the fan running, the compressor was cutting out due to heat build up in the coil. by the way, the model number I gave you is all that's listed on the name and data plate. Thanks again, Ron D.
07/24/03 Excellent, explicit and easy to understand. Mary G.
07/23/03 Hi Ann, Just wanted to thank you for your prompt replies and BIG help in my "project." Received both parts this morning and immediately put them in. Everything seems to be working and drink access tap doesn't seem to be leaking. I hope this refrigerator just keeps on chugging. Hope none of my other appliances start falling apart, but I promise you guys will get my first phone call (or email). I've even recommended you to my buddies. Have a great summer as well and I hope you stay a bit cooler than we are down in Florida (the panhandle, at least) Cheers!! Phil M.
07/21/03 Eric & Ann, Just wanted to let you know I got the part yesterday and I have good news and bad. The good news is the part works fine and the oven is back in action. Bad news is my wife had to go back to cooking now that it's working again. Thanks again for all your help. Tom C.
07/20/03 Thank you for your help. I did soak the gasket in hot water and try your suggestion. Faith C.
07/19/03 Thank You for your trouble. I appreciate your quick response, even though you could not help us. Sincerely, Bonnie R.
07/17/03 Hi Ann! Just wanted to give you an update, the thermistor is in and has fixed our problem. Now that it's running cooler it doesn't make the 'bearing' sound. You'll be the first to know when I need new parts! Thanks for all your help, Michael S.
07/16/03 It was nice working with Ann. She answered all my questions and went out of her way to help me. Frank W.
07/14/03 Dear Eric and Ann, First of all thank you for the help. It was a pleasure to deal with a company who cares about people unlike a certain plumbing company I am doing a battle with. I did what you said and the motor hummed. What I found out was the gear drive was somehow jammed and I managed to get it working again. I do not know what cause it to jammed but as of now the unit is working fine. I still want the price just in case the gear drive goes out again. My mother in law was well pleased with your company since she is on a tight budget. I will have your company first in line in case I need other parts. Thank you again for your help and I will tell other handymen people about your company. Thank you again for your help!! Sam P.
07/13/03 Dear Eric, That was exactly it! Thank you so much for the helpful info AND in such a timely manner! I will definitely recommend your website to others in the future. Thanks again! Dione R.
07/11/03 I have asked Eric and Ann questions twice, and both times they have gotten back to me promptly. Also, VERY helpful, honest advice (even if it wasn't what I wanted to hear!!). Thanks! Meghan
07/10/03 I needed an oven rack for my range. I found out they are no longer available from GE for my model. These guys found me a used one that fits perfectly. They even answered my emails back and forth on Sunday. I will order from them again. You do not find customer service like this anymore!!!!! Don F.
07/06/03 Thank You for your Expert help and advise. Your answers have helped us save money because we did not have to call in a service technician and your price on the part was much more reasonable than of our local appliance parts place. I take my hat off to your and your company. Thank You! Justin
07/03/03 Thank you very much for your help. I checked the controls and discovered the freezer control was stuck. All it took was a little adjustment and it is working fine. Mike H.
07/01/03 Very quick response, I got my questions answered in minutes! Thank you so much.. Outstanding instructions and website! Thank You. Will E.
06/28/03 I just wanted to let you know how delighted I was with your recent service for me. You answered my request faster than anybody else, provided great telephone support and went the extra mile to try to find a temperature probe for my microwave oven. The parts arrived promptly as promised. It turns out you were also the low price, though I had already ordered from you. Steve W.
06/27/03 Eric: Just a short note to tell you that the new timer appears to be working GREAT!!! Thanks for all your time and patience!!! I still can't figure out how TWO local appliance repair guys couldn't figure it out. You've got all our parts business from now on. Have a great weekend!!! Jerry B.
06/26/03 Thanks Ann, I had trouble as well with the igniters on the range top and he replaced the main wiring unit in the range. It didn't fix it. He came back and it got a little better. With your help I decided to replace the igniters on the range top and it fixed it right away. $7 each from you. I put a call into this guy. I'm ready to call the BBB and complain. His actions cost me a lot of money and time to solve this and buy 3 igniters instead of one! It is so nice to have such good service from you guys. Rick R.
06/26/03 I would like to thank both Eric and Ann Campion. They dealt with me for approximately one month and were patient enough to take me one step at a time. After each step they would always want to know how it went. They are very knowledgeable, always responded quickly, and were very polite. I always felt like I was dealing with family. Thanks to them my dryer now works perfectly. You are truly number 1. THANK YOU KINDLY. Motero
06/23/03 Thank you for your help. Your response was great. This is the first time I have used your site, but if all the experts are of the same caliber, I am sure it will not be the last. Sites like yours are what the internet should be like! Charlotte R.
06/22/03 Greetings Eric! Your description of the solenoid valve on that Frigidaire dishwasher was right on the money. Once I drug the portable machine out from its nook in my shop I was able to lay it on its side, and really get a full view of the assembly. This sure beats standing on your head to work on a built in machine. That is why I have always had a portable machine in my shop; ease of service. Once on its back I could see that the solenoid was moving freely, but the drain valve arm was slow to return to its top stop position, if it returned at all. This was the source of my pumping the water out while the machine should have been in a wash cycle. Since this is just the machine in my shop I opted to fix it with an external return spring on the valve lever arm. A slightly modified carburetor linkage return spring was just the ticket. Thanks again for guiding me in the right direction. Cheers, The Admiral
06/21/03 The fan motor is totally seized and will not turn at all. I had already set up the box fan prior to your reply. I do thank you for your help. It must be difficult trying to diagnose problems without seeing the appliance and for that... I take my hat off to you. Please keep up the good work. I'm sure I'll use the service again. Thanks again... Great Job! Pat G.
06/20/03 Ann, Thanks for your persistence. The United States Parcel Service finally got the package rerouted to my home address in zip 28203. Your package was delivered to my home on Saturday, June 14. I installed the timer and its working fine. I discovered that the plastic control knob that "starts" the dryer is cracked so do you carry such plastic parts for GE dryers? Bob M.
06/18/03 Thank you so much! I have book marked your site and will check with you when we need more help. It happens around our home all the time. I really feel you went to a next level with your assistance. Should I have the opportunity to recommend you in the future, I certainly will do so. David E.
06/16/03 I received the Clock/Control unit on Friday. Installed it that evening and everything is working properly. Thanks for all your help in getting my oven working again. Thanks, Rob M.
06/13/03 Dear Ann, Thank you for the wonderful help your company provided to assist me with getting my GE microwave oven operational again. The service I received from Affordable Appliance, and specifically you and Eric were superb. I specifically appreciate you allowing me to return the touchpad that I didn’t need and for Eric’s assistance with helping me to troubleshoot the actual problem that turned out to be the power control PC board. I’m frankly a little embarrassed that I didn’t properly diagnosis the problem with my microwave oven correctly the first time since my background is in electronics.
Being the Quality Manager for my company, I deal with customer complaints on a daily basis. While you’ve indicated Affordable Appliance is a small company, I can tell you that your company could be a model for other much larger companies on how to delivery CUSTOMER SERVICE, from the fast turnaround on parts, to the expert technical advise, to allowing me to talk directly with a real live person versus an automated telephone selection menu.
Again, I appreciate your efforts and response to my problem. And yes, I did learn a good lesson; I will call and discuss any future appliance problems with you and Eric before I order the wrong part next time. While I don’t want to have more appliances break, I look forward to doing business with Affordable Appliance when the need arises. Best regards, Charlie B.
06/11/03 Everything is working fine. How do people get by without a dishwasher?? Thanks for all your help. It would have been a lot easier to solve as a problem if the whole thing had not fused together. Thanks... Daniel M.
06/09/03 Thanks for your help... as I have said in the past, I will be sure to keep you in mind when I find friends and co-workers looking for appliance assistance. Thank You! Regan M.
06/08/03 Hello, I just want to thank you for the parts. The frig was sitting in my basement for a year without the hinges. I looked all over. The hinges fit perfect. For $50.00 you saved me $500.00 in aggravation. Thanks....Dennis C. Summit, PA.
06/07/03 Thank you for your accuracy. I'm looking forward to receiving those two items. Best regards, Vera F.
06/06/03 Hi Ann! Thank You, Thank You, Thank You! WOW. I am impressed with your service. I like the new clock and how can we do this? I can send you my Visa Card Number, if this is alright. Regards, John B.
06/04/03 Hi Folks, I received the part I ordered. Thank you. I recommended you to a local service dealer in this area. The owners name is John, ( oddly enough ) the company name is "Affordable Appliance Service". I also gave him your 800 number. He was glad to find out about you guys because his local suppliers has told him on many occasions that parts were not available. He was surprised to here that I found the part even though GE also said no longer manufactured. Thanks again for all your help & good luck in your business. Sincerely, Vince S.
06/03/03 Hi Guy's just wanted to thank you for the fast and professional service!! I got my timer today and the washer is up and running!! I will recommend you guys to everyone I know. Thanks again! Chuck S.
06/02/03 Thanks for your prompt help. Got the part today. Charlie & Sheri B.
06/02/03 Ann, Finally, my husband had time to take my stove apart and use the parts that you were so helpful in finding. Thank You so much for taking the time to research such a small part which was such a BIG PART of putting my kitchen back together. Everything is working fine! Not only did your efforts in locating all that we needed help get the stove back together, it also kept us from having to totally remodel the cooking island and repair the cabinets to replace a stove. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!! Jane G.
06/01/03 Dear Mr. & Mrs. Campion, Thank you for all your help. I know you must be a very successful company because your hard work and attention to customers must make it so. Daniel M.
05/30/03 Hi Eric & Ann: We received the hob element module yesterday & it works great!!! Thanks again for your help. I have two other questions for you. Do you just sell parts & used appliances, and do you also repair them? We would like to get our old module repaired preferably by someone familiar this type of item. The other question is do you sell a good cleanser for stainless steel/cast iron stove stops? I used to buy a real good kind at Sears, however, they don't always have it. Any assistance you can offer will be appreciated. Best Wishes, Debra M.
05/26/03 Hi, Our part arrived quickly and works perfectly. Thank You so much!!! Sincerely, Cheri and Gary M.
05/26/03 Received the parts today and they work like a charm. Thanks so much for your service and I will keep you in mind in the future for myself as well as others. George S.
05/24/03 Hey, Thanks Guys. My dryer appears to have improved 100%. Thanks, you guys are the best. There was so much wet looking lint on the (cheese grater looking) outlet, located behind the blower wheel housing. That was really blocked, just as you said. I cleaned that off and cleaned the shoot out and it is working great. Thanks!! You guys are incredible. Wayne I.
05/22/03 I really appreciate your customer service mentality. Fantastic !! Thanks.. Jennifer M.
05/14/03 My wife called at 2:00 Wednesday to tell me a package had arrived from you which I ordered Monday. She and my sons learned long ago not to open anything till I get home for fear of losing small parts. After only 2 days of hand washing dishes, she was about to pop to get her dishwasher fixed. I was thrilled to open the box to find a well-packed and almost-new motor for my dishwasher, complete with a personalized note and happy-face sticker. I swapped the mounting bracket and 30 minutes later we were washing dishes again. I know you advised that it might not be just a bad motor. I know the motor was bad, and I hope the pump is OK for at least a year more. I am a very tough customer, and I am extremely satisfied. Top notch service, help, fast delivery, great prices, and quality parts. Who could ask for more? Regards, Barry H.
05/14/03 Team Affordable-Appliance, Great job! Today, I received the parts you sent for my GE cook top and refrigerator (spark module, gas valve knobs and ice door flapper). All parts fit and work fine. When I need more stuff, I'll be back. Regards, Vince T.
05/12/03 Ann, Received the part, looks like the correct one. I'll rely on your service in the future. By the way I found your company through Google. Thanks. Craig M.
05/10/03 Received the thermostat for the Tappan oven and it fit and works! I gave the appliance repair guys your web site address. All the repair guys I called around here told me they couldn't get the part for that old of a Tappan oven. The guys that put in the thermostat also call themselves Affordable Appliance (Repair). Anyway, just wanted to say thanks and let you know that if anyone needs old parts or new one (there are 31 homeowners in this condo complex with the same oven) I will point them in your (web site) direction. Ellen H.
05/06/03 Eric, Thank you for your quick response, good customer service is very important and less common than it used to be! I did call UPS and it is as you said, they goofed this one up and delivered my package today. The motor is in and running at least this one problem is solved. Again, thank you for your quick service! Wayne D.
05/04/03 I received my oven hinges today and they are just the part I needed. Thank you for your excellent service and prices. Michael C.
05/03/03 Very accurate and quick response. George
05/02/03 Eric & Ann: You guys are great! Kit arrived today. It's installed. It works (though not as well as the original when it was healthy, but that's a White Westinghouse/Frigidaire issue). So long as I have the capacity to figure out what's wrong, and you have the capacity to figure out what's right, my local "brain surgeon" repair man is fired and you're hired for life. I'll spread the word. Bless you. John U.
05/01/03 Our order arrived today and my husband groaned at your speed because he thought he had at least another week (to stall fixing the washer)!!!! Congratulations on your excellent, tho depressing for my husband, customer service! :} THANK YOU! Christine H.
04/28/03 Thanks for the service. I received the Pump/Motor assembly for our GE Dishwasher earlier this week. I have since installed it and all seems to be well. Do you want the old one? It leaks water. Paul D.
04/21/03 Thank you for your prompt reply, and for the info. Have a great day.
04/23/03 Fast and thorough reply! Thanks for all your help! Janet
04/18/03 15 minutes to respond. And 100% correct in diagnosis. Problem Solved !!! Thanks a bunch... I'll be in touch again I bet! Tom M.
04/17/03 Information was very helpful. The response rate was very fast. Al I.
04/14/03 Very quick response, less than an hour and good advice. Thanks!
04/10/03 Ann, just wanted to "Thank You" for all your help in finding this clock timer for me! I really appreciate it!! We finally got it installed and it is working great! Our guys with our local appliance repair shop was amazed when I told them I found the part!! They just couldn't believe it!! So I gave them your information from the card you sent and told them they should try using you guys for their Obsolete Parts needs!! I knew someone had to have these pieces!! Because I am in the Obsolete parts business myself! Although I deal in old Ford Car & Truck parts instead of appliance parts, so if you come across any Ford brand parts instead of Tappan, Roper or Norge, then give them my number or email address!! Thank you again!!! Dan H.
04/05/03 Ann, Thank you very much for the lead and the number. You have gone "above and beyond"! Robert E.
04/03/03 Thank you, Eric! I never thought about taking it out to the garage on the concrete. Wish I had thought of it last week, when I replaced the water valve. Jo E.
04/04/03 Thanks so much for your quick response! Got my new cartridge....works wonderfully. Thanks so much! Great customer service!! Maggie D
04/03/03 Thanks for the great and helpful page. I found it one day late but it still helps. I have replaced the drive belt and all appears to work well except for when it spins. It seems to be underpowered and cannot get going under a load of laundry. Empty it spins a bit slower than I remember. I will try some of the steps on your page tomorrow. Have you any suggestions form to look at? Thank you for your help. L. McMahon
04/01/03 Ann, OK, OK jumping the lid switch worked. It spins and drains like a champ. Thank you so much for your help. I will go to your web site and see if ya'll carry the switch I need. Thanks again. Duane & Lisa G.
03/29/03 Ann, Thank you for your assistance in locating where to register a Maytag appliance. That was thoughtful of you to send me the information. Yes, I was in the service but am retired. By the way, I grew up in central PA. My dad taught school in Tremont a couple years (coached). Again, thanks for your assistance. William S.
03/20/03 Thanks very much for your time Ann, I really appreciate the effort you've made! Take care. M.C.
03/18/03 Hi Eric and Ann, I feel like we have known each other for years. I just sent an Email to those on my address book campaigning for your business. Good luck and thanks again. Keep in touch. Best Always, Bill T.
03/13/03 Thank you for having a website with just the right information, exactly when I needed it. Our Maytag washer was making terrible noises, which I traced tonight to the belt system, and your belt-replacement diagram will be very helpful. Sorry I can't give you some business, but as we are in Canada . . .well, I know you understand. Thanks again for a great website. Much appreciated. Scott M.
03/04/03 Ann, thank you very much for all your efforts. You really went above and beyond. I have a bunch of old appliances and hopefully I'll be able to use you again for parts. Regards, Andrew D.
03/03/03 I want to thank you so much. We got the part Saturday. My husband put it on the dryer and it works beautifully. There are some other things working on my dryer now. I don't know if it has to do with the new part. My wrinkle guard works and my buzzer now works. You have made one woman in Texas happy! I did not want a new dryer. I wanted to keep my dryer. Thanks again. Don B.
03/01/03 Wow....you're the greatest. Yes, somehow the clock controls were bumped. The oven now works. Yeah...(I think)! I was really hoping for an excuse for a new range. Oh well.... Thanks again. With any luck, my range will break again....Then I can buy a new range from you... :-) Ruth W.
02/27/03 Dear Ann, Just wanted to take a moment to say thanks. The motor and lint screen worked out just great. A picture is worth a thousand un-necessary headaches! Again, it was a pleasant transaction, hitting the bulls eye on the first shot! Tom B.
02/22/03 Dear Ann, Just a quick note to let you know that we received the timer you sent--actually it was almost a week ago, but things have been a little hectic lately and I haven't had a chance to write. I also wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your excellent customer service, promptness in responding to my request, and the speed with which you got my order to me. The timer was also very clean--unlike all the other used timers I'd seen in my quest--and most importantly, it works!!! I really hope I won't need to order any more washer parts anytime soon, but I will remember your company and pass your name along to my friends if they have any appliance problems. Thanks again, Adam W.
02/05/03 Hi Ann, Thanks for being so helpful with my dryer problem. I thought I was going to be forced to pay a lot more money to a repairman. I have installed the motor and it is working fine. Consider me a new and satisfied customer. I will be telling others about your website. Thanks again! P.S. My wife is happy as well, no more Laundromat, ha ha. Jeff C.
02/02/03 Ann: I found your store while searching the internet for "affordable" GE range replacement parts. While looking over your parts list I had a questions so I decided to call and spoke with you, Ann. You were very pleasant and informative and when you said you'd call me back in 10 minutes you did! You even advised me to use a part I could get locally for 6 dollars rather than send me the part that YOU had in stock! Service like this is just not found very much these days. Anyway... I think its smart because I just found a new parts supplier and will tell others of you as well. Thanks again for all your assistance. Dan R.
01/24/03 Eric and Ann were great. Both were helpful and courteous. My problem was fixed much to my surprise and their expert advise within 24hrs and it cost me nothing but my time. I was just about to purchase a new appliance when I e-mailed them. Now I can buy some new tires instead. Thanks again. Ed C.
01/12/03 Ann...I wanted to send you a note of thanks for your awesome support. I was ready to buy a motor from you for our dryer and you actually suggested that I look into it a little further before purchasing a potentially unnecessary part. Come to find out you were exactly right! There was nothing wrong with the motor at all. The belt had simply slipped off. The kicker is that we had a "professional" local repairman come and assess the situation for us and he was the one who told us that the motor was shot. I'm glad he didn't offer to take the "useless" dryer off of our hands! Needless to say, we won't be calling on him any more and our dryer is working fine. Your professionalism and honesty are remarkable for this day and age. Thank you very much. I will keep your website in my favorites and have recommended you to a number of people! Sincerely, Joel L.
01-05-03 Eric.. I tried G.E.'s on-line advise first--set freezer and refrigerator back to normal (5). Everything in the fridge really froze then! Then I tried your advise and I unplugged the unit for 8 hours, plugged it back in with freezer set on 4 and fridge set on 3. So far (4 days) everything seems normal. Thanks for the help!! Clyde P.
12-26-02 Dear Pamela...Did you look inside the pump, if not, check there first. You have an electric pump. Is it running? Inside the electric pump housing are impellers. They may be tangled with lint balls or string. Pull out all you can and if the impellers are not damaged, your pump should be fine. If the impellers are damaged, you may have to replace the pump. (Response) Hi Ann, thanks for your response. I took the hoses off the pump and found the big one to the tub clogged. I cleaned the hose and the pump and the washer now works like new. Thank You! Pamela O.
12-21-02 I wanted to thank you on your great service and prices. We got our stovetop today and installed it without a hitch. It's great to know that there are still companies out there that give good service! Happy Holidays! Tom & Sheila H.
12-18-02 Thank you Ann... I think my best bet is to bite the bullet. This unit has served me well, this is no time to start spending money on it. Your response was excellent, I will use your service in the future. Have a great Christmas. Dick M.
12-16-02 Eric & Ann...Thanks for your help, I took the water inlet valve apart and found that the screen was blocked with sand. I cleaned it out and everything has been working great!!!! I also installed a filter where the water comes into the house from the well to prevent this from occurring in the future. Thanks again for your help and knowledge in solving this is issue. If I have any future needs for appliance parts you'll definitely be my source of supply !!!! Brian P.
12-10-02 Dear Ann...Thank you for your free advise and your wonderful service. We ordered the coupler, and although we had absolutely no experience in this arena, we managed to replace the part and put it all back together. Everything works great now! You guys saved us at least $300, since we didn't have to buy a new washer. Also, everyone we dealt with, both online and on the phone, was courteous, knowledgeable and professional. We couldn't have asked for better service. I would recommend your service to anyone with appliance questions or problems. Thanks again! Cristin D.
12-04-02 Thanks a lot for the advise. It was right on the money... the refrigerator is 14 months old and the warranty was only good for 12 months, however the problem was the compressor went bad, which is a good thing, because this particular part has a 5 year warranty. So labor and parts are going to cost me nothing. Thanks again! Liza P.
11-22-02 Ann, I just wanted to drop you two a note to let you know that the repair of the Whirlpool oven was successful. Replacing the microcomputer was the key. Thanks again to the super service. I attached a copy of our emails to the inside of the stove so that I can call you the next time I have any problem with an appliance. I first attempted to call Whirlpool service about a year ago when a fuse blew in my built-in microwave oven. They basically blew me off and sent me to Sears. Sears was willing to have someone come out to my house for a "minimal" service fee of $55... and then he could give me a quote for the parts and labor to fix the part the next time he could come out. I ended up fixing the microwave for less than $2 by buying a replacement microwave fuse from the local hardware store. You guys made it possible for me to "cheaply" (relatively speaking) fix my oven by myself. You and your husband were more helpful than Sears and Whirlpool put together. (Actually, MUCH more helpful -- since you two where helpful and friendly and they were a waste of my time). I just got the phone call from Heather: the pizzas are done. Time to eat. Thank you again! We love you. (And I won the kitchen cleaning bet... by practically an entire week.) And thanks for being one of the few .com stores that has reasonable shipping charges. I ordered balloons (24 balloons in a plastic bag) and the minimum S&H charge for the slowest method of shipping was $13.95. Pissed me off. Even over the Internet and a few phone calls, I get the warm & fuzzy (local) feeling from having dealt with your company. Thank you! Benjamin M.
11/21/02 I just wanted to Thank Eric and everyone else that helped me with my dryer problem. I received the wire, thermostats and installed them today. I now have medium heat and the satisfaction of fixing it myself and saving a lot of money. Well, I better go, a lot of laundry to do. Thanks again, Rod R.
11/14/02 To Ann, I am in customer service with Sodexho (formerly Marriott food services) and I appreciate a great customer service experience when I get one. Sometimes it's because someone REALLY goes to great lengths, sometimes it's just genuine care for the customer that makes all the difference. You put the phone down and went and received the switch and returned with a description of the piece. The piece cost @ $3.00, shipping was more than that, and you went and got it. I am impressed. Just keep doing what you're doing! Thank you very much, Robert B.
10/10/02 Well I gotta say its been a pleasure doing business with you. The excellent way in which you handled this little 'mishap' will only make me refer to you first the next time I need parts. The price becomes irrelevant to me, its more important to know your dealing with customer oriented people. Thanks again. Regards, Gregory K.
10/01/02 Hi Elaine...The oven igniter arrived yesterday. Thanks for the promptness. How do I remove the old modular connector to install on the new piece. Is there a trick to getting the old wires to release from the snap together end of the igniter? Thanks for your help. Anthony R.
09/30/02 Thanks for the info-worked great- oven back in operating condition. Thanks for the assist and rapid response. Tony R.
09/24/02 Eric and Ann - You hit this one dead on. The GE man came yesterday and checked things for 40 minutes then stated" "Sir, your transmission is going bad." Wala! He says the inner tub should not move at all during agitate. (just as you said). I may recommend that Consumer Reports do a review of GE's policy on this. Also - I would like them to review Internet Appliance parts sites. You would be at the top of my list. Do you want me to pursue this? Jim B.
09/18/02 Thank You for the prompt shipment of the 6 old rotors and coils. They arrived Monday and I Appreciate the prompt shipping. Do you stock anything for old Speed Queen or Maytag wringer washers? I get a lot of inquiries for old parts based on the stuff that I sell and if you have supplies, I will gladly refer them to you if I do not have the items. Again Thank You. Raymond C.
08/24/02 Hi. I just ordered the above part and realize I didn't give my 'Exact name on Card'. It is Kelly J. I hope the order goes through! It took me FOREVER to find these knobs. Thank God you have pictures! No one else does! Thanks Kelly J.
08/18/02 Hi. The part we ordered got here the other day in good shape and our dryer is working again. Thank You for the great service. I am also looking for a 13" color television for our travel trailer. If you deal in
