Avanti Appliance Repair in Ottawa

Avanti Products is a Miami-area company that sells compact and apartment-size appliances, and Canadian retailers carry its compact fridges, wine coolers, beverage centres, freezers and small electric ranges. The line is built for small spaces: a dorm or office fridge, a basement bar with a wine cooler and a beer dispenser, or a studio apartment with a 20 or 24 inch electric range.

Avanti's wine refrigeration runs from small thermoelectric chillers to large compressor-cooled cabinets, some with two temperature zones or a drawer underneath, and we treat those as two separate refrigeration problems. Avanti's compact ranges are often open coil-top cookers, a design technicians know well, while its higher Elite series ranges add convection and a rotisserie. Some Avanti ranges need a 240 volt supply, so when a new one will not heat, we check the outlet and wiring before we suspect the range.

Which Avanti appliances we repair

Common Avanti faults we see

Compressor wine coolers and dual-zone cabinets

  • One zone of a dual-zone cooler warm while the other is fine: the fan or sensor for that zone
  • Display showing a temperature far from the actual cabinet: a failed temperature sensor
  • Condensation running down inside the glass door: the door gasket or the door not closing square on its hinge

Beverage centres and beer dispensers

  • Beer foaming or pouring warm: cabinet temperature drift, the thermostat, or a fan not moving air up to the tap line
  • Beverage centre cycling constantly: dust on the condenser or a crowded front vent
  • Cans freezing on the bottom shelf: a thermostat stuck in the cold position

Compact and apartment-size fridges

  • Unit hums and stops without cooling: the start relay on the compressor
  • Water dripping inside the fresh-food section: the defrost drain tube blocked
  • Small freezer door not latching: a broken hinge pin or warped door liner

Compact electric ranges

  • Coil burner not heating: the burner itself or its receptacle, often scorched where it plugs in
  • Burner glowing on every setting: an infinite switch welded closed
  • Oven not heating or convection not running on an Elite range: the bake element, oven thermostat or convection fan motor

Parts and warranty

Avanti parts are ordered through Avanti's customer service using the model and serial number from the rating label. Thermostats, relays, fans, coil burners, receptacles and infinite switches are the parts we order most for Avanti, and on a low-cost compact unit we weigh the repair against replacement with you first. Before booking a repair on an Avanti still under warranty, call Avanti's customer service.

Avanti questions

Can you fix an Avanti wine cooler?

Yes. We first identify whether it is thermoelectric or compressor cooled, since the parts that fail are different. Fans, sensors, controls, gaskets and start relays are common repairs; a failed sealed system on a small cooler is usually not worth the cost, and we say so.

My Avanti coil burner will not heat. Is it the burner?

Sometimes, but coil-top ranges also fail at the receptacle where the burner plugs in, which scorches over time, and at the infinite switch behind the knob. We test all three so you only pay for the part that has failed.

Do you service Avanti beer dispensers?

We repair the refrigeration side: thermostats, fans, relays and gaskets that keep the keg cabinet cold. Taps, couplers and CO2 equipment are the brewing side, which a beverage supplier handles.
