Frequently Asked Questions
Q: My Café stove displays an 'F' error code. What does this mean?
A: This is a Function Error Code, signaling a problem with one of the oven's functions. Potential causes include a malfunctioning electronic control board, a faulty sensor, or an issue with a specific component. Try power cycling the oven by disconnecting it from the power supply for 30 seconds, then reconnecting. If the error persists, contact Café customer service or a qualified technician.
Q: The 'SF' error code is showing on my cooktop. What should I do?
A: This indicates a Surface Lockout, meaning the cooktop and control panel are locked to prevent accidental activation. To unlock, simultaneously press and hold the Bake and Broil Hi/Lo pads for 3 seconds.
Q: One of my burners won't ignite. What could be the problem?
A: For your safety, unplug the appliance and shut off any gas supply before proceeding. Several issues can cause this, from a faulty igniter to a blocked burner port. Try cleaning the burner area. If that doesn’t work, it's best to call a professional.
Q: My stove is making a loud vibrating noise. Is this serious?
A: Unusual noises could indicate a problem with the fan motor, internal components, or even loose parts. It's essential to have a technician diagnose the issue to prevent further damage.
Quick Checks Before You Call an Expert
Check the power cord to ensure it's securely plugged into the outlet.
For your safety, unplug the appliance and shut off any gas supply before proceeding. Inspect the burner igniter for any debris or blockage.
If your stove is electric, check your circuit breaker to ensure it hasn't tripped.
Examine the stovetop for any spills or food residue that might be interfering with burner function.
Listen carefully for any unusual noises emanating from the stove, as these could indicate a problem.
Expert Advice: Repair or Replace?
Deciding whether to repair or replace your Café stove requires careful consideration of several factors. A key consideration is the appliance's age. If your stove is relatively new and the repair cost is reasonable, repair is often the most economical choice. However, if the appliance is nearing the end of its lifespan or the repair cost is substantial, replacement might be the better option.
The type of problem also plays a significant role. Minor issues like a faulty igniter or burner are usually cost-effective to repair.
However, if the problem lies with the control board or another major component, the repair cost can be significant. Our technicians can provide expert advice on whether repair or replacement is the best option for your situation.

About Us & How It Works
1. Schedule your visit
2. On-site diagnostic
3. Approve & repair
4. Done & covered
COI (Certificate of Insurance)
COI available on request for buildings that require it (common in Manhattan condos/co-ops; less common in Brooklyn and Queens walk-ups). We can only issue COIs that match our actual policy. If your building asks for limits or endorsements outside our coverage, we cannot modify the policy or issue a non-compliant COI. In those cases, we’ll tell you immediately so you don’t lose time and can choose a contractor whose insurance matches your building’s requirements. Many service calls do not require a COI; your building or management office can confirm what they need.
Also keep in mind: sometimes the issue is not a failed part but an installation problem or incorrect use (for example, blocked vents, overloaded washers, or wrong panel clearances). Our technicians will point that out and show you how to prevent the same problem in the future.
Warranty & Compliance
180-day warranty on both parts and labor for completed repairs. All parts are factory-original OEM, sourced through authorized distributors. For older appliances, it’s normal for surrounding components to start showing their age. One repair can expose another weak part. When that happens, we don’t just “stack” charges - we explain what changed, what failed, and your options before doing any extra work. Work is performed in line with applicable NYC electrical, gas, and plumbing safety requirements. Documentation is stored securely so we can reference past visits.
Safety & Courtesy Protocol
We treat every visit like we’re guests in your home: Technicians wear shoe covers or remove footwear when requested. We protect floors and surrounding surfaces where tools or panels are used. We clean up our work area when the job is done. If you ever notice dust or a small mess left behind, that’s on us — each tech handles multiple calls per day, but that’s not an excuse. Tell us and we’ll make it right.
Timing & communication: If your window is 11–1, the tech will usually aim to arrive closer to the start of that window when routing allows. You’ll typically receive a text alert ~30 minutes before arrival. If we’re running late or a prior job explodes into something bigger (premium built-ins love surprises), we’ll text you as soon as we know.
Goal: work clean, stay safe, respect your space and your time.

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
The $99 diagnostic visit is always billed at the first appointment. That’s the starting point for every job.After the visit, the technician sends notes, photos, and test results to our service desk. Sometimes the tech can give a ballpark range on-site, but we’re moving away from instant “off-the-cuff” quotes — OEM parts pricing moves fast, and we prefer accuracy over guessing.
Simple issues
Things like a clogged filter, loose connection, minor reset or simple adjustment can often be fixed on the spot, starting from $99 (diagnostic-only level) if no extra parts or extended labor are needed.
Repairs with parts
We’d rather be blunt than vague: NYC appliance repair is not cheap, especially on Sub-Zero, Miele, Viking, Wolf, Fisher & Paykel, and Bosch.
Our promise is not “lowest price” - it’s clear diagnostics, OEM parts, and no surprises: You see the diagnostic results and estimate before any repair begins. The $99 diagnostic is credited when you proceed with that repair. If a job doesn’t make financial sense (age, condition, part cost), we say that out loud and walk you through options.
ZIP coverage — Brooklyn, Manhattan & select Queens
Use the ZIP code checker to see if we can come out to your building. If your ZIP is listed, we can usually offer same-day or next-day appliance repair, depending on parts and schedule. If your ZIP code is outside our current service area, you can still reach out — in some cases we may be able to help, or recommend a trusted partner nearby.

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.
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.
