The Appliance Guy 🇺🇸

@ToddLlewellyn passive aggressive politeness

Some people….

Appliance repair is not parts swapping. It’s pattern recognition + process of elimination. Techs who slow down diagnose faster.

@lippyent repair guy. i would repair everything made by man

If you were 21 in the 1870s, would you most likely be a farmer, Rancher, outlaw, lawman, Blacksmith, school marm, or town drunk? Hmm 😒 🤔?¿

@stevehunsaker1 12 years in industry. 12 years of constant angi spam calling. do i have that right?

Some of you guys haven’t been in the game long enough to verbally assault your Angi Leads sales rep for cold calling you 5x a day and it shows

most “no cooling” fridge calls aren’t sealed system failures. 70% of the time it’s airflow restriction: frozen evaporator, failed fan, or blocked return vents. evaporator frost pattern will tell what exactly is wrong with your refrigerator.

@_baldtires classic microwave physics: hotspots on the outside, cold core in the middle

the microwave only cooked the edges of my lunch

commercial appliances last decades. residential appliances last years. the difference isn’t technology. it’s the decision about what materials go inside.

the appliance with the most one star reviews on amazon tells you more than the one with the most five stars. always read the worst reviews first.

tenant called. microwave stopped working. drove out. door latch was broken. microwave won’t run with broken latch by design, safety feature. $15 part. 10 minutes. some things are just that simple

@WarhorseDiv new here but i guess it’s important to put some value and/or insights in posts and comment

Alright what’s the secret? How are you guys hitting 5M impressions, come on?

save this thread. share it with someone about to call a tech.

if repair cost exceeds 50% of current appliance value, buy new. that’s the rule.

before you spend $120 on appliance repair service call. a thread 🧵

nobody talks about appliance installation errors. wrong water line connection, improper venting, wrong outlet type. the appliance gets blamed. the installer walks away.

@realfrugalmogul nice! got the video?

I used to take girls out jet skiing, now I get excited when mulch gets delivered to my driveway

73.4% of repairs being other brands doesn’t prove Whirlpool reliability, it proves market share math. Whirlpool holds roughly 15-20% of the market. at 26.6% of our service calls they’re actually overrepresented not underrepresented. reliability claims need to be measured against units in the field not just repair percentages. the data tells a more complicated story than the narrative.

So 73.4% of your repair work is on other brands is that what you're saying? That's consistent with my statement. As Whirlpool and Maytag major appliances have been most reliable relative to other brands. It's a shame the stock is down, and the home appliance market is saturated with foreign brands. Whirlpool/Maytag is the last American brand left for major home appliances, and it's units are mostly made in the US.

Folks, Whirlpool washer and dryers, fridges still outlast the Samsungs, LGs, and GE home appliances (that got bought by China's Haier). It's sad their stock is tanking and consumer demand is low. Bought a Whirlpool washer dryer over t years ago, replacing another Whirlpool that lasted 30+ years. It's still working. Not as well as the older model. The Samsung fridge for the man cave, only 4 years old has been trying to die already. The LG dishwasher, we got rid of lasted 2 years.
