Serving Waukegan, Zion & Lake County
Dehumidifiers, stand mixers, countertop ice makers and wine coolers — the smaller appliances that still matter.
How We Help
Not every repair is a refrigerator or a washer. We also fix the smaller appliances homes in Waukegan, Zion and Beach Park rely on, like basement dehumidifiers, stand mixers, countertop ice makers and wine and beverage coolers.
Small appliances vary a lot by model, so call us with the brand and model number first. We’ll tell you upfront whether it’s something we can repair and whether the repair is worth it compared with replacing it.

Troubleshooting
What usually causes each problem, and what the fix normally involves. If you recognize yours, call and tell us what you're seeing.
If the fan runs but the bucket stays empty, the unit isn’t getting cold enough to condense moisture. That’s a failed compressor or a refrigerant leak on older units, or a bad humidity sensor telling the compressor not to run. In a cold basement, the coil can also simply be below its working temperature.
Usual fix: Humidity sensor or control; compressor and sealed-system problems usually mean replacement, and we’ll say so up front.
Frost on the coil means air isn’t moving across it fast enough or the room is too cold. A dirty filter, a weak fan motor, or a failed defrost sensor are the usual causes. The unit may show an error code or keep shutting off.
Usual fix: Clean or replace the filter, replace the fan motor or defrost sensor.
Inside a stand mixer is a gearbox packed with grease. Over the years the grease dries out and a worn gear starts to grind, skip or strip, usually after a heavy dough. A mixer that hums but won’t turn has a stripped gear; one that only works at some speeds has a speed-control fault.
Usual fix: Replace the worn gear, re-grease the gearbox, or replace the speed control. Well-built mixers are worth this.
Portable ice makers pump water over a chilled tray. No ice usually means the water pump has failed, a sensor thinks the bin is full, or the small cooling system isn’t getting cold.
Usual fix: Water pump or sensor. Cooling-system failures on these units usually aren’t repairable at a sensible cost.
Most wine coolers are small refrigerators. A unit that runs warm has a dirty condenser, a failed fan, a thermostat problem, or a door gasket that’s no longer sealing. Thermoelectric models have a different cooling method and fail differently.
Usual fix: Fan, thermostat or gasket. Tell us the brand and model and we’ll say whether it’s a compressor or thermoelectric unit before we come out.
