Trusted in Charlotte since 1952

Charlotte families have been calling us since Owen Johnson founded us in 1952. Owen mentored Chris Raeker, Chris took the reins from him, and today Chris and his brother Steve run our family business, still working by the motto Owen started with: "Fair prices. Quality work. Every time." We are a small family operation, and every repair carries our name.

Repeat customers are the heart of our work. When a family that trusted us with one appliance calls back about another, we take it as a sign the first repair was done right, and we work to earn that trust again. We are also a multi-year Angie's Super Service Award recipient.

What calling us back gets you

  • Nothing to relearn. We schedule, price, and stand behind a repair the same way every time, so a second call is as simple as the first.
  • Owners close to the work. We are small and family-run, so there are few handoffs between your phone call and your repair, and the owners know the trade firsthand.
  • A straight answer on repair or replace. When an appliance is near the end of its useful life, you hear that, with the real repair price beside it, and the decision stays yours.
  • One number for every appliance. Refrigerator this year, dryer the next: the same number reaches us for the kitchen and the laundry room.

What we repair in Charlotte homes

The major kitchen and laundry appliances, residential only:

  • Refrigerators: Standard and counter-depth models that run warm, frost over, leak onto the floor, or never seem to stop running. See refrigerator repair.
  • Freezers and ice makers: Upright freezers that are thawing or over-frosting, and the ice maker in your refrigerator when it has slowed, stopped, or will not release the ice. See freezer and ice maker repair.
  • Dishwashers: Cycles that stop early, water left in the tub, dishes that come out gritty or cloudy, plus dishwasher cleaning and filter service.
  • Ovens, ranges, stoves, cooktops, and wall ovens: Uneven baking, burners that will not heat or light, and controls that ignore you. See oven, range, and cooktop repair.
  • Microwaves: Over-the-range, built-in, and microwave hood combos that run but do not heat, spark, or will not start.
  • Washers and dryers: Washers that stall full of water or skip the spin, and dryers that tumble cold or need two cycles. See washer and dryer repair.
  • Garbage disposals: Humming, jammed, leaking, or silent.
  • Maintenance and inspections: Refrigerator coil cleaning, lint cleaning inside the dryer cabinet, dishwasher cleaning, safety checks, and performance inspections. See preventive maintenance and appliance inspection.

How an appliance repair visit in Charlotte works

Call 704-366-2126 with the brand, the model number if you can read it, and what the appliance is doing. We will give you a two-hour appointment window to plan around, and same-day service is available when the schedule allows.

Your technician finds the cause and tells you the repair and its total price before any part is replaced, and whether to go ahead is up to you. Parts and labor on every repair we do are under warranty for 90 days.

We work Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and Saturday, 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM, and we are closed on Sunday.

When it is time to call us again

Some problems announce themselves: a puddle, a burning smell, a dryer that is stone cold. Others creep up on you. Call when:

  • An appliance we repaired starts acting up again. Within 90 days, the warranty covers the parts and labor on that repair; after that, tell us what we fixed last time and we will start from there.
  • An older appliance you have been nursing along is getting louder, slower, or less dependable than it was.
  • A refrigerator or freezer cannot hold its temperature even with the door kept shut, or frost is building where it never did before.
  • A washer, dryer, or dishwasher needs a second cycle to finish the job, or leaves water behind.
  • An oven takes far longer to preheat than it used to, bakes unevenly, or shows an error code.
  • Any appliance trips the breaker more than once.

Before you call, make sure the appliance has power (plugged in, breaker on) and that a child lock or a bumped setting is not the culprit. Sparks, a burning smell, or water near wiring mean one thing: stop using the appliance, unplug it if you can do that safely, and call. If you smell gas, leave the appliance alone, step outside, and call your gas company first.

Write down any error code exactly as it appears, and if you have called us before, say so; we like hearing it.

Charlotte Appliance Repair Questions

Which Charlotte ZIP codes do you serve?

Twenty-two of them, each one printed in the ZIP code list near the top of this page. If yours is on that list, call 704-366-2126 with the street address, the brand, and what the appliance is doing, and we will take it from there.

Is Charlotte in Mecklenburg County, and do you serve the towns around it?

Yes on both counts. Charlotte is in Mecklenburg County, and beyond the city we serve Matthews, Mint Hill, Pineville, and Huntersville, along with many other communities across eight counties in North Carolina and South Carolina. If your family has moved out of the city since we last worked for you, the same number still reaches us from any of those towns.

Can I get same-day appliance repair in Charlotte?

Yes, same-day service is available. If we have worked on the appliance before, mention it when you call, along with roughly how old it is; that helps your technician come prepared. Whatever day we come, you get a two-hour window rather than an all-day wait.

What does appliance repair cost in Charlotte?

There is a service call fee for a technician to come to your home. Your technician will diagnose the problem and give you a total price for the repair, and that price includes the service call fee.

Which appliance brands do you work on?

The Whirlpool family, meaning Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, JennAir, Amana, Roper, and Estate; the GE family, meaning GE, Monogram, Café, GE Profile, and Hotpoint; and Samsung, LG, and Electrolux Group brands. Read us the brand and model number when you call and your technician will arrive prepared.

We have used Plaza Appliance Service Co before. Who runs it now?

Chris Raeker and his brother Steve. Owen Johnson founded us in 1952 and mentored Chris, who took over from him; today the two brothers run it as a family business. Trade knowledge has passed from one generation to the next for more than 70 years, and we would be glad to hear from you again.

You repaired this appliance before. Is it worth fixing again?

It can be. Weigh four things: its age, how the repair price compares with a new appliance of the same kind, its overall condition, and how well it still does its job. A built-in appliance costs more to replace than the appliance alone. The diagnosis gives you the real repair number to put beside those factors, and the decision is yours.

Is there anything I should do before you arrive?

Keep the refrigerator or freezer doors closed if cooling is the problem; when in doubt, throw it out. Clear a path to the appliance, and leave built-in and heavy appliances where they are with the panels on. If a washer or dishwasher is holding water, leave it; what is in there and where it stopped tell us something.

Schedule a Service

Send the details and we will call you during business hours to schedule your two-hour arrival window. In a hurry? Call 704-366-2126.

Only if it is easy to read. Please do not move a heavy or built-in appliance to find it.

Sending this form does not book a time; we call you to schedule. If an appliance sparks, smells like burning, or leaks near wiring, stop using it and call us at 704-366-2126. If you smell gas, do not touch plugs or switches: get everyone outside and call your gas utility first.

Call the family Charlotte has trusted since 1952

Whether this is your first call or your fifth, the deal is the same: a window you can plan around, a fair quote before the work starts, and a repair worth calling us back for. Call 704-366-2126, or send your details through the form and we will call you back to set a time.

    I have been going to Plaza for all of my appliance repair needs since I became a homeowner fifteen years ago and once again they have knocked it out of the park. I was having issues with my dryer. Yancey from Plaza promptly came to our rescue, having everything up and running within thirty minutes. He was kind and professional, and left the workspace clean. Because of there competency, professionalism and competitive pricing, I will continue recommending Plaza to all of my friends and family.

    Plaza Appliance fixed the lighting in what by today’s standards in an old refrigerator. They had to come out to our home twice; first to find a model number that I couldn’t find and then to make the actual repair once they located a hard to find part. They were pleasant to work with and quick to respond. They were willing to go the extra mile while other repair firms were unwilling to look at the problem once they found out the age of our fridge! Highly recommend.

    Amazing experience. Came out the same day to diagnose a faulty dishwasher. Returned the next with a part to get it back up and running again. Communication, speed, and quality of service at this level is hard to come by these days. Thank you for sparing me an extra chore!!!
