How We Help

Fast, Honest Appliance Installation

A new appliance only works as well as it’s installed. A kinked drain hose, an unlevel washer or a loose water line can cause problems on day one. IyJ Repairs installs kitchen and laundry appliances in Waukegan, Zion, Beach Park and across Lake County.

Because we repair appliances every day, we know what a proper install looks like and what goes wrong when one is rushed. Tell us the model when you call and we’ll confirm what the job involves and quote it upfront.

Troubleshooting

What an Installation Involves

What we do on an install, what you need to have in place, and the details that go wrong when an install is rushed.

What’s included in a dishwasher installation?

We connect the hot-water supply, the drain line (to the disposal or sink tailpiece, with a high loop or air gap so dirty water can’t flow back), and the electrical connection, then level and secure the unit under the counter. The most common install mistake we see is a garbage-disposal knockout plug that was never removed, which leaves a brand-new dishwasher unable to drain.

Usual fix: A working supply, drain and power connection under the sink is all you need in place. If a shutoff valve or outlet is missing, we’ll tell you before the install day.

What’s included in a washer and dryer installation?

Washer: new fill hoses to the hot and cold taps, the drain hose secured in the standpipe, leveling so it doesn’t walk, and shipping bolts removed from a front-loader. Dryer: the power cord matched to your outlet (3- or 4-prong), a metal transition hose to the vent, and leveling. We check the vent for restriction while we’re there.

Usual fix: Have the old units disconnected or let us know they aren’t; tell us if the outlet is 3- or 4-prong and whether the dryer is gas or electric.

Can you stack a washer and dryer?

Yes, with the manufacturer’s stacking kit for the pair. Not every washer and dryer can be stacked: the washer has to be a front-loader and the two usually have to be the same brand and depth. The kit locks the dryer to the washer so it can’t shift.

Usual fix: Tell us both model numbers and we’ll confirm they stack and which kit they need.

What’s involved in installing a range, cooktop or wall oven?

Electric ranges and wall ovens connect to a dedicated circuit; cooktops drop into a cutout and wire to a junction box underneath. Ranges also need an anti-tip bracket, which is often missing on older installs. Gas connections depend on what’s already at the wall: call with the model and we’ll confirm what the install involves.

Usual fix: An existing circuit or gas line in the right place. New wiring or gas work is a licensed electrician or plumber’s job, and we’ll say so if it’s needed.

How is an over-the-range microwave installed?

The microwave hangs from a mounting plate screwed into the wall studs and bolts up through the cabinet above. It needs an outlet inside that cabinet and, if it vents outside, a connection to the duct; otherwise it recirculates through a charcoal filter. Getting the plate level and into studs is what keeps a 60-pound microwave on the wall.

Usual fix: An outlet in the upper cabinet and 30 inches of clearance above the cooktop. We confirm both before the install.

What Appliance Installation Costs in Lake County

Every visit starts with a diagnostic fee, which is applied to the repair if you go ahead. The repair price depends on:

  • Which appliance: a dishwasher or dryer is a shorter job than a wall oven or over-the-range microwave
  • What’s already in place: existing hookups vs. a connection that has to be adapted
  • Stacking kits, new hoses, cords or a transition hose if the old ones shouldn’t be reused
  • Whether an old appliance needs to be disconnected first

Repairs we quote most often

  • Dishwasher installation
  • Washer installation
  • Dryer installation (electric or gas)
  • Washer and dryer stacking
  • Range or cooktop installation
  • Wall oven installation
  • Over-the-range microwave installation

You get the exact price before any work begins. If a repair isn’t worth it, we’ll say so. Call (224) 279-3184 for a quote on your model.

Install It Yourself, or Have Us Do It?

  • A dishwasher, OTR microwave or wall oven: have it installed. Each has a step that commonly goes wrong (drain knockout, mounting plate, circuit connection) and the fix costs more than the install.
  • A washer or dryer with existing hookups is the simplest install, but front-loader shipping bolts and dryer vent connections are where DIY installs go wrong.
  • Anything gas: the connection and leak check should be done by someone who does it regularly.
  • If you bought the appliance online or from a store that doesn’t install, we install what you bought.

Before We Arrive

  3. 03Clear the path from the door to the install location.
  4. 04Tell us whether the old appliance is still connected.
  5. 05Dryer: know whether your outlet is 3- or 4-prong and whether the dryer is gas or electric.
