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.

Quick Checks Before You Call an Expert
Check the power cord and outlet to ensure the dryer is properly plugged in.
Inspect the circuit breaker or fuse box to see if there has been a power surge or tripped breaker.
For your safety, unplug the appliance and shut off any gas supply before proceeding. Clean the lint trap thoroughly. A clogged lint trap can restrict airflow and cause various issues.
Check if the dryer door is closing securely. A loose latch can prevent the dryer from starting.
Examine the dryer vent for any blockages. For your safety, unplug the appliance before handling any vent components. Restricted airflow can cause overheating and other problems.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: My Kenmore dryer is displaying a TE1 error code. What does this mean?
A: The TE1 code usually indicates a temperature sensor error. This means the dryer's temperature sensor is malfunctioning or not reading correctly. Possible causes include a faulty sensor, a wiring problem, or a control board issue. For your safety, unplug the appliance before attempting any troubleshooting. You can try turning off and unplugging the dryer for a few minutes, then plugging it back in. Also, make sure the dryer vent is not clogged, as restricted airflow can cause overheating and trigger the error. However, for a reliable diagnosis and repair, it's best to contact a qualified technician.
Q: What does the LF error code on my Kenmore dryer signify?
A: The LF code points to a water supply problem, usually affecting dryers with a steam function. It means the dryer is not getting enough water for the steam cycle. This could be due to a kinked or blocked water supply hose, low water pressure, or a faulty water inlet valve. Check the water supply hose for kinks or blockages. Ensure the water supply valve is completely open and check your home's water pressure. If the issue persists, contact a professional appliance technician for further assistance.
Q: Why is my Kenmore dryer leaking?
A: Several issues can cause a Kenmore dryer to leak. These can range from a clogged or damaged vent hose to a faulty door seal or even a problem with the drum seal. For your safety, unplug the appliance and shut off any gas supply before inspecting. It’s best to contact a qualified appliance technician to diagnose and fix the leak safely and effectively.
Q: Why is my Kenmore dryer not heating?
A: A Kenmore dryer that’s not producing heat could have several underlying causes, including a faulty heating element, a malfunctioning thermal fuse, a clogged vent, or problems with the dryer's cycling thermostat. These issues require professional expertise to diagnose and repair correctly. Contact a qualified appliance technician for safe and effective service.
Expert Advice: Repair or Replace?
Deciding whether to repair or replace your Kenmore dryer depends on several factors. A significant factor is the age of your appliance. If your dryer is nearing the end of its lifespan (typically 8-12 years), investing in a new, energy-efficient model might be more cost-effective in the long run. We’ll help you evaluate the overall condition and expected lifespan of your current dryer.
The cost of repair is another key consideration. We'll provide you with a transparent, upfront estimate after our diagnostic service. If the repair cost approaches the price of a new dryer, replacement might be the better option, especially for major component failures. The type of problem also influences the decision. Some issues, like a faulty heating element, are relatively simple to fix. Others, involving the control board or motor, can be more complex and expensive. We'll guide you through the best course of action based on your specific situation.

Great people to deal with. Called and set up appointment right away. Mark came and fixed the issue right away. Very friendly and respectful. Will use again. Thanks guys.
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
Larry Lawson
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!
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!
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.
