About Us

1. Schedule your visit

2. On-site diagnostic

3. Approve & repair

4. Done & covered

COI (Certificate of Insurance)

Available on request - usually not required in Brooklyn, but often asked for in Manhattan buildings and co-ops. Please remember that certain issues can come from incorrect use or installation, not from parts failure - our technicians will always point that out and show how to prevent it in the future.

Warranty & Compliance

Every repair is covered by a 180-day warranty on both parts and labor. If the appliance is older, keep in mind that some surrounding components can wear out over time — sometimes one repair leads to another part showing its age. We always explain options clearly before doing extra work.

Safety & Courtesy Protocol

We treat every visit like we’re guests in your home. Technicians wear shoe covers or remove footwear when entering, and we always clean up after the job. If you notice a little dust or debris left behind - our apologies - each tech handles 3-5 appointments per day and works to stay on schedule. If your window was 11-1, the technician usually arrives closer to 11; if running late, we’ll text you right away. Our goal is simple: work clean, stay safe, and respect your space and time.

Coverage

We cover Brooklyn—Downtown, Brooklyn Heights, Park Slope, Williamsburg, Greenpoint, Bed-Stuy, Carroll Gardens, Prospect Heights, and Flatbush—and Manhattan (below 96th Street)-FiDi, Battery Park, Tribeca, SoHo, Chelsea, Midtown, UES, UWS, Gramercy, and the Village. You’ll receive a text alert ~30 minutes before arrival.

Why Volt & Vector

We’ve spent years working inside large NYC repair companies - seeing how real technicians get buried under rushed schedules, fake “same-day” promises, and endless call-center noise. Volt & Vector grew out of that frustration. We wanted a place where diagnostics still matter, where techs can take time to do the job right and talk to people directly. We’re not calling ourselves perfect - far from it - but we’re building the kind of service we always wanted to work for: respectful, transparent, and run by people who actually fix things.

Pricing & Diagnostic Policy

Our diagnostic visit is always billed at the first appointment - that’s the starting point for every repair. After the visit, the technician sends full details to our service desk. Sometimes the tech can give a price range on-site, but we’re moving away from instant quotes - parts pricing changes like crypto these days, and we’d rather stay accurate than promise the wrong number.

Simple issues - like a clogged drain, loose wire, or minor reset - can often be fixed on the spot starting from $99. If a full repair with parts is needed, total cost varies by brand and model - just like in any NYC company, it can start around $320 and go up depending on parts and labor. We believe in clarity over surprises. You’ll always see the diagnostic results and estimate before any repair begins.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: My Kenmore dishwasher is leaking. What should I do?

A: First, ensure the dishwasher is turned off and the water supply is shut off. Inspect the door seal for damage and the drain hose for leaks or blockages. For further diagnosis and repair, it's best to contact a qualified technician.

Q: What does error code E5 mean on my Kenmore dishwasher?

A: Error code E5 indicates a high water level detected by the safety float. This could be caused by overfilling, a clogged drain, or a malfunctioning float switch. Turn off the power supply, check for standing water, and contact Volt & Vector for service.

Q: What does error code L0 mean?

A: This indicates a leak at the front. Possible causes include a damaged door seal, leaking water inlet valve, or loose drain hose. Inspect the door seal and drain hose connection. For safety, unplug the appliance and shut off the water supply before further inspection. Contact Volt & Vector for professional repair.

Q: How can I prevent future leaks?

A: Regularly clean the door seal to remove debris, inspect the drain hose for wear and tear, and avoid overloading the dishwasher. These simple steps can help prevent many common leak issues.

Expert Advice: Repair or Replace?

The decision to repair or replace your Kenmore dishwasher depends on several key factors. Consider the age of your appliance. If it's nearing the end of its typical lifespan (8-10 years), a replacement might be more cost-effective in the long run. Also, evaluate the cost of the repair. If the repair cost exceeds 50% of the price of a new dishwasher, replacement is often the better option.

The type of problem also plays a crucial role. Some issues, like minor leaks or faulty door seals, are relatively simple and inexpensive to fix. However, major component failures, such as a malfunctioning motor or control board, can be significantly more expensive. Our experienced technicians at Volt & Vector can assess the situation and provide expert recommendations tailored to your specific needs.

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!
