Fridge is about 3 years old. Noticed a lot lately the temp fluctuates quite a bit. Like when door is being opened and closed a few times putting dinner away, etc. I'm talking 5 degrees for a few times the door is opened and closed. Never had this issue previously.

Recommendations for local appliance people and what do they charge to diagnose the problem?

You can call Lowe's or Sears. They use the same company. If memory serves, last time we used them it was 85 or 90 to come out and look. I think that was rolled into the repair, too.

We try and stay away from sears. They have been horrible to work with in general.

It's been several years since I've needed help with a fridge, but we used Mr. Appliance and were very happy with their work.

Idk if he still does work but Mr. Moore was always my parents go-to appliance repair man. Always got the job done right and was a very nice man. I wish I had his contact info.

Really was hoping Buddy's would live up to expectations from comments here. Unfortunately, while the repairman was good and honest, their office had zero interest in helping me with my warranty claim.

Not me! While the service was fast and easy, the repair cost (for a valve on a high efficiency washer) was $250 -- about $150 more than it needed to be.

I wish I called Thomas Moore instead.

Thomas Moore has only been doing this for 40 years. Just call him. Let him fix it, listen to his advice and write him a check. When was the last time you dealt with the guy whose name is the business?

I highly recommend Mr Moore as well. I'm not sure what people in this town will do when quits working.

This. Even if he fixes it in 15 minutes he'll talk for 45 so you get your money's worth.
Over the decades I've paid more for his advice than junk fixing skill.

He's a gem, he'll be impossible to replace.

Im very sorry you feel you had a bad experience. I do not know any appliance companies with technicians that carry acutual inventory on their trucks, insurance and the proper training that will come out and replace a water valve on a high efficiency washer for only $100 and warranty it for a whole year. If it was an LG washer like I am thinking, we more than likely replaced both hot and cold inlet water valves. Even though only one leaks if you only replace one the next one will start leaking in a few months. By the way our service call is $85. I think Buddies is $79. Please PM me your details and I would be happy to refund your entire bill.

I'm not sure how I missed this a few months ago.

Either way, I'm not going to fuss for a refund. The repair person rendered a service that has taken care of the problem. I don't want to be a crook.

I guess my frustration is perceived value. Seeing things from your point of view helps.

I will say, though, it took FOREVER for the transaction to clear my bank. It didn't hit for a week. Just FYI.

*Youll have to pay a service fee for their response but their expertise is worth it.
