What we repair in New Westminster

Refrigerators, washers, dryers, dishwashers, ranges and wall ovens, in homes and apartments across New Westminster.

What usually goes wrong, appliance by appliance, in New West’s heritage homes and newer towers.

Dryer repair in New Westminster

In New Westminster’s older homes, a dryer that won’t heat is occasionally not the dryer at all: an electric dryer needs both halves of its 240-volt supply, and if one has failed at the breaker or the outlet, the drum turns but stays cold. We check the supply before replacing parts. When the dryer is at fault, the usual parts are the heating element, thermal fuse, cycling thermostat or belt. In the towers by the river and the SkyTrain line, many dryers are ventless models whose condensers need to be kept clear of lint.

Washing machine repair in New Westminster

Many New Westminster houses keep the laundry in the basement, down narrow or steep stairs, so tell us about access when you book and we will plan the visit around it; most repairs are done in place without moving the machine. Full-size washers in these homes typically need a drain pump, a drive belt, a lid switch or a door boot. In the newer waterfront towers, compact stacked washers mostly fail at the door lock or drain pump. Common parts for both are on the van.

Fridge and refrigerator repair in New Westminster

Refrigerators in New Westminster’s heritage kitchens are often squeezed into openings built for smaller appliances, so pulling the fridge out to reach the condenser and back panel takes care, especially over old wood floors. Once it is accessible, the usual faults are a failed evaporator or condenser fan, a defrost heater or timer, or a door gasket that no longer seals. If the compressor is involved, our technicians do the sealed-system repair themselves. Keep the doors closed until we arrive to hold the temperature.

Stove and range repair in New Westminster

Gas ranges are common in New Westminster’s older housing, and every repair on one in BC must be done by a licensed gas technician; ours are gas-certified. A burner that won’t light is usually the igniter or spark module, and a gas oven that won’t heat is often the oven igniter, which weakens with age until it can no longer open the valve. Electric ranges in the towers more often need a surface element or a switch. If your range has been fitted into a tight heritage kitchen, let us know so we can allow time to slide it out.

Dishwasher repair in New Westminster

Dishwashers in older New Westminster kitchens were often added during a renovation, sometimes into a space that is a tight fit, so removing one without damaging the counter or the flooring is the first thing we plan. The faults themselves are familiar: a blocked filter or drain pump when water stays in the tub, a failed inlet valve when it won’t fill, and a worn door gasket when it leaks. In the newer towers the dishwasher is often integrated behind a panel. Either way, the common pumps and valves are on the van.

Garburator repair in New Westminster

Some older New Westminster homes have garburators connected to drain lines that are decades old, so a unit that empties slowly may have a blockage further along the pipe rather than a fault in the garburator. A steady hum means the plate is jammed; complete silence usually means the overload on the base has tripped. Water dripping from the bottom of the housing means it has failed and the garburator needs replacing. We work out which it is before quoting, so you are not paying for a new unit when the problem is elsewhere.

Appliance repair in New Westminster

New Westminster is one of the oldest cities in the region and the housing shows it. Heritage and character homes with kitchens that have been renovated more than once sit alongside a growing number of new towers near the SkyTrain.

Older homes bring their own quirks: appliances fitted into spaces that were not designed for them, electrical supply that predates modern appliances, and cabinetry that has to be worked around carefully.

What we see most in New Westminster homes

  • Appliances fitted into tight heritage kitchens, where removal is the first challenge
  • Older electrical supply, occasionally the real cause of a dryer that will not heat
  • Full-size laundry in basements with awkward stair access
  • Compact appliances in the newer towers along the waterfront and SkyTrain line
  • Gas ranges in the older housing stock, needing a licensed fitter

New Westminster appliance repair — common questions

My New West home is old. Will that be a problem?

No, but it can affect access and occasionally the diagnosis — a dryer that will not heat is sometimes a supply problem rather than an appliance fault. We check both.

Do you work in the new towers as well?

Yes. Tell us if an elevator or loading bay needs booking.

How much does the repair cost?

You get a firm quote after diagnosis and you approve it before any work starts. If we cannot fix the appliance, you do not pay.

What warranty do you offer?

Every repair carries a 90-day parts and labour warranty.

Do you cover Queensborough as well as the main part of the city?

Yes. Queensborough, Sapperton, Uptown and the Quayside towers are all standard New Westminster coverage with no distance surcharge.

Our heritage home has a narrow kitchen doorway. Will the appliance fit out?

Often that is the real question in Queen's Park and the Brow of the Hill. We measure before moving anything, and in most cases the repair is done in place rather than pulling the machine out of the house.

Can you work around the older wiring in a heritage New West kitchen?

We can diagnose and repair the appliance, and we will tell you plainly if the fault is actually the circuit rather than the machine. Electrical work beyond the appliance itself needs a licensed electrician and we will say so.
