Got a call regarding a person who had another servicer out this week and wanted our advice of what to do. If they should have it repaired or buy new. They hired a company,paid them 175 to come out diagnose the issues (also waited 2 weeks for them to come out).

We highly recommend asking friends,family, facebook and looking on google for local businesses.

Well..We can give the best service experience and ask customers to leave reviews every day. We give free advice out over the phone all the time with no review or thank you.

But make one person mad because we didn't get to them fast enough, corrected them when the wrong model number was sent on the wrong appliance they called about.
Also explain that we do not have an office worker who just answers phone and we would be contact them at the end of the day after looking up parts.

Sad the only way businesses get reviews is because of unhappy customers.

We get a lot of calls about fridge/Freezers not working or cooling. Here are some helpful tips from Gary Pond Appliance.
❄️ check for frost or ice in the freezer or on box items. 
🤒 recommend a refrigeration thermometer- this gives the most accurate temperature in freezer and fridge. (Freezer 0 to -4 Fridge 36-38)
🧹 we recommend unplugging the unit & cleaning around,behide.
🧊we recommend thawing out the unit- unplug the fridge, put freezer food in a cooler,another freezer, in the bathtub covered with blanket. Keep freezer door open with a fan blowing in for 4-5hrs. Keep the fridge door closed!! After the time has passed wipe out the freezer, plug in the fridge and place thermometer in the freezer/ fridge.Allow 8-12 hours for an accurate temperature.

Helpful hints with bad weather!
-if you lose power unplug appliances- example refrigerators, stove and any other ones that have electronic boards. its possible when when power turns back it could short out boards and cause more issues.
- can place food/drinks in the washer with ice to keeping food cold if power is out for longer period of time.

Friendly reminder, great service is worth the cost. We hear many stories of costly charges, based hourly labor charge and customers paying for parts before the repair (also, the servicer never showed to do repair!)

Power out in the bathroom? Don't call maintenance yet.

If your hair dryer or toaster suddenly stops working, it might just be a tripped GFCI outlet.

That is the outlet with the two little buttons in the middle. Usually, one says "test" and the other says "reset."

Before you worry about a broken circuit or wait for a repair person to show up, try this 10-second fix:

1. Unplug whatever you were using.
2. Look at the outlet. If the Reset button is popped out, push it back in until you hear it click.
3. Plug your device back in.

These outlets are built to keep you safe from shocks in rooms with water, like your kitchen or bathroom.

Sometimes they just click off if they get a little surge.

Resetting it yourself is the fastest way to get your power back on so you can get on with your day.

If the button won't stay "clicked" in, or if it pops back out immediately with nothing plugged in, the outlet itself may have failed or there is a legitimate wiring fault.

That is the point where you should definitely call for professional help.

Has this ever happened to you while you were in a rush to get ready for work?

Important dryer info!
1.Clean your lint filter every time.
2. make sure you have the shortest run of venting. If you have a large amount of vent behind the dryer it should be shorted.
3. Get a lint brush from the hardware store and clean inside the lint filter housing. Then turn on the dryer on air fluff for 10min.
4. Always check the vent that goes outside to make sure you have good air flow.

If unsure call the professionals.
