Appliance Repair in Findlay Creek
Findlay Creek is one of Ottawa's newer south-end communities, built largely since the mid-2000s on former farmland east of Bank Street and just south of the airport. Its streets of detached homes and townhouses are full of young families, with parks, a commercial strip on Earl Armstrong Road and more construction every year.
The homes are new, so the appliances are too, which means they are usually electronic, efficient and sensitive. A dishwasher that will not drain, a fridge that ices up at the back, or a washer that stops mid-cycle with a code are typical calls here, and many are covered by an extended warranty or are just past it. We find the real fault and tell you whether a repair is worth it before any work starts.
Getting to Findlay Creek
Findlay Creek is about 25 minutes from downtown Ottawa by Bank Street or Albion Road. Findlay Creek households can pick a morning, afternoon or evening window; we run from 7 am to 9 pm on weekdays and Sundays and take Saturdays by appointment.
Notes for Findlay Creek families
Builder-grade appliances in new homes are often installed quickly, and a dishwasher that is not level or a drain hose without a high loop can cause slow drainage or odours from the first year. When we visit, we check the installation as well as the appliance, since the fix is sometimes as simple as adjusting the hose.
Questions from Findlay Creek
- My fridge has frost building up on the back wall. Why?
- That usually points to the defrost system: a heater, a thermostat or a control. Left alone, it can block airflow and warm the fridge, so it is worth having looked at early.
- My appliance is just out of warranty. Is it worth repairing?
- Usually. Newer machines often fail on one part, and repairing it costs far less than replacing the whole appliance. We quote before we start.
- My dishwasher has water sitting in the bottom. What is wrong?
- Often the filter is clogged or the drain hose is kinked. If not, the drain pump may have failed. We check in that order and explain what we find.
