Like it or not, from time to time appliances break down and need repair. Depending on the age and the appliance, regular maintenance using GE appliance repair services can save time, money and in some cases the appliance. Overlooking the problem can end up costing much more if the problem persists and if left unattended it could lead to having to purchase a brand new appliance. Choosing the right repair service comes in handy, because regular maintenance can actually prolong the life of the appliance and keep it working properly. GE appliance repair services are licensed and certified service technicians proficient in the field with the skills and understanding of the business and knowledge of the appliance, which will save time and money for repair services.

In some cases, the owner's manual provides instructions on troubleshooting some regular repairs without damaging the appliance. If the appliance fails to start:

Blown Fuse - Reset the circuit breaker or replace the fuse.
Electronic Models - Reset the start button. Turn the appliance off and back on.
No Power - Reset the wall switch located on the wall plug outlet.
Not Working - Make sure the plugs are connected, and the doors closed or locked.
No Power - Make the outlet voltage is correct.

Service Calls
Breakdowns are never scheduled and most happen at the worst time, being able to rely on a local repair service helps in getting the problem fixed sooner. A local location, usually offers a same day or next day service to the property. It doesn't always guarantee the repairs will be done during the service call, but the troubleshooting will identify the problem and schedule any parts that need to be ordered. Most repair service technicians stock basic parts, unless there's a specialty or outdated part, the repair service may be able to fix the problem. Licensed repair service technicians can also tell, whether the appliance is still under factory warranty or covered by maintenance service contracts.

Emergency Service
All repair services have emergency services, especially when water, gas or power lines are part of the appliance problem. In this case, typically repair services will walk the owner through the process of shutting off the water or disconnecting the power for safety reasons. Be prepared to give a description of the problem so the service technician can provide the correct instructions until the service team arrives. Keep in mind that emergency policies may have different guidelines when responding to immediate service calls.
