Local Appliance Repairs — Local services in Lake Stevens

You know how you wish you had a service person on speed dial that you hope you never have to call but feel confident that when you do you’ll not be disappointed? This is that guy.

I called him up because my fridge wasn’t working properly due to a faulty fan. He came out same day and diagnosed it quickly and as he was in there it started working again. He reassembled it and said it might keep working so unless I insist on spending the money, he would recommend waiting until we need it and he will order the part. Sounds good to me!

A few days later it went out again and he had the new one out within a couple days. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and his prices were so fair I almost felt like I stole something. Lol. He will also warranty parts and labor for 90 days, so if it craps out again, he will come fix it again. In my experience his communication was spot on and he is just an overall solid dude.

If he services your area, call this guy first - at least for a standard fridge. Crazy “smart” fridges and brand new dishwashers, appliances, etc., I have no idea since he has decades of experience and knowledge versus fancy computer diagnostics machines. But my 3 year old side by side was well within his area of expertise and he will be my first call for appliance repair. He will shoot me straight.

Call this dude first....

I had Local Appliance Repairs out to my home about a month ago to take a look at my dishwasher. The owner, Krist Elson, came out and did an "assessment" of the dishwasher and told me I needed a new control board. I say "assessment" as he never ran any diagnostic codes on the unit. My bad for being so trusting. He ordered the part (which come to find out would have been under warranty) and came back the next week to install it. Let me know that if I had any issues to give him a call. The dishwasher did not work correctly and I left him SEVERAL messages to give me a call. To date I have not received a return call. At this point I don't think the board was ever the issue. I ended up calling another appliance company that came out, ran diagnostics and told me EXACTLY what was wrong with the unit. Save your hard earned money and call a reputable appliance company. One that provides good service and offers a warranty. Oh, and make sure you check all websites that have company reviews. I wish I...

Will definitely use Krist again! Our Dryer broke shortly before Christmas. We called another repair shop (it had better reviews) their wait time was 10 days. We called Krist, who was available that evening. He found the problem quickly, he had the parts, he fixed it and it works = Happy customer!

Very nice guy, great price (cost us $140 - the other company was estimating it would cost us around $400).

Krist will definitely be the first person we call if we need appliance repairs! Thank you Krist!

P.S. The negative review because a repair person didn't want to take your old appliances is a bit disingenuous. Also, have their time wasted with calls assuming they do would make...
