Question 1

What should I do while waiting for my repair appointment?

Accepted Answer

For refrigerators — move perishables to a cooler with ice. For washers — avoid overloading and stop mid-cycle if needed. For dryers — don't run it if you smell burning. For gas appliances — if you smell gas, leave the home and call your gas company immediately before calling us.

Question 6

Does IyJ Appliance Repair offer after-hours or weekend appliance repair?
