What We Service

  • Refrigerators & freezers (French-door, side-by-side, top/bottom) + ice makers
  • Dishwashers (built-in/18")
  • Ranges, ovens & cooktops (gas/electric/induction; dual-fuel)
  • Microwaves (built-in/OTR)
  • Washers & dryers (top/front-load, gas/electric)

Common Symptoms → Likely Causes

  • Fridge warm or temps swing → condenser/evaporator fan, start relay, defrost circuit (heater/thermostat/control), damper
  • No/slow ice; weak water → inlet valve, clogged filter, frozen fill tube, icemaker module
  • Water under fridge → clogged defrost drain, valve seep, cracked line
  • Dishwasher not draining / leaves grit → drain pump/check valve, circulation pump, spray arm blockage, heater/inlet
  • Gas burners won’t ignite → weak igniters, spark module, blocked orifices
  • Electric oven no heat / off-temperature → bake/broil element, temp sensor, relay on control
  • Washer won’t drain/spin → drain pump, lid/door lock, belt, pressure switch
  • Dryer no heat / long dry → heater/igniter/thermostats/thermal fuse, vent restriction, moisture sensor

Safety First

Burning smell, visible sparks, or repeated breaker trips → switch the breaker OFF and do not restart.
Gas odor → shut off gas and ventilate; call a pro.

Quick Self-Check (Safe & Useful)

  • Fridge: verify door seals and airflow; don’t chip ice; replace old filters
  • Dishwasher: clean filter/sump; check drain hose and disposal knockout
  • Washer: clean pump filter; run empty rinse/spin; breaker reset 5–10 min
  • Dryer: clean lint screen; confirm vent path; test another cycle
  • Oven/Range: confirm outlet/breaker; avoid forcing jammed knobs/door

If performance doesn’t improve, a component, sensor, or airflow fault is likely — schedule a diagnostic.

Our Diagnostic Flow

Model/serial intake → electrical & mechanical tests (loads, sensors, boards) → water/gas & airflow checks → clear written estimate → same-visit repair when parts are stocked; otherwise fast sourcing with ETA.

Prep for Visit

Share brand/model and symptoms (a photo of the rating plate helps). Clear the front of the unit; for built-ins we protect floors, counters, and cabinetry.

Symptoms: Drum turns, air stays cool; trips breaker when heat calls.
Likely causes: Open heater coil, grounded element, failed relay.
Safe DIY checks: Try “air fluff” to confirm airflow.
Our diagnostic & fix: Element resistance/ground test, replace heater, inspect hi-limit/cycling stats and relay contacts.

Dryers — Drum belt snapped

Symptoms: Motor hums, no tumble; or very fast spin noise then stop.
Likely causes: Broken belt, seized idler pulley, worn rollers.
Safe DIY checks: Spin drum by hand—should move freely.
Our diagnostic & fix: Replace belt and idler, lube/replace rollers, vacuum lint from cabinet; verify motor amps.

Excellent experience with Vlad! He came day of to help fix a laundry machine issue. He was on time, a clear communicator about the issue and fixed it with ease. He came back the following day (at no charge!) when I reached out with further information about how the machine was working to confirm everything was working properly/as intended. Excellent service and will absolutely be working with them again when we have future needs. Can’t recommend enough!

Vlad has been an incredible asset. In the few months we've known him, he's already fixed a dryer, two washing machines, and an oven! He's always very upfront with the repairs needed and the associated costs with fixing an appliance. I wouldn't hesitate at all to hire him for any future appliances in need of repair

I split my time between Italy and NYC and manage several Airbnb units. Scheduling used to take too much energy around guest check-ins and turnovers. With Volt & Vector Appliance Repair, the routine became predictable: clear 2-hour windows (9–11am or 12–2pm), a text with ETA, written pricing (diagnostic credited), before/after photos, and a short summary after each visit. Over ~30 repairs in two years: washers, dryers, dishwashers, ranges, a refrigerator seal. They’ve kept me informed and moved quickly on parts (usually 24–48 hours when ordered). Access and lockboxes are handled without drama, work areas are left clean, and my reviews stayed steady. Hosting from abroad is easier when maintenance is this consistent. Strong recommend for Brooklyn and Manhattan hosts.

Amazing service every time! I work for a multi-use property in lower Manhattan and we have used Volt & Vector for at least 20+ jobs and I can honestly say they do incredible and reliable work. Vlad is a pleasure to work with, he is honest and his pricing is fair. Highly recommend!
