appliance repair

Mending household devices

Appliance repair is the service of fixing household machines—refrigerators, washing machines, dishwashers, ovens, and the like.

The term typically refers to major appliances rather than small devices like toasters.

We called for appliance repair when the dryer stopped heating.

Someone who does this work is an appliance repair technician.
