Olympia appliance repair, from a van kept at the Lacey line.
Dishwashers, dryers, refrigerators, ranges, washers and ice makers, tested and fixed in the kitchen or the basement by an independent shop on the Olympia–Lacey line that can tell a well house from a city-water house at the tap and writes the price down before a screw is turned.

In the van
Six appliances, known inside out

What we fix
Six appliances, nothing else.
A deliberately short list, so the shelves in the van hold the right parts and every machine is familiar. One visit fee, quoted when you book, absorbed into the repair price once you say yes.

DETAILS →Why here is different
LOTT sewer on one road, a septic tank on the next.
Water, fuel and the age of the house decide what breaks. The van is loaded for what this shore of the inlet produces.
Till water
North of the college on Cooper Point, out Steamboat Island Rd, around Mud Bay, Summit Lake and Delphi, the tap draws from a private well in glacial gravel. Heating elements crust over, fill valves narrow to a trickle, drums turn orange — we swap the part and say plainly whether the softener is pulling its weight.
Beyond the natural gas line
The natural-gas mains stop at the edge of town, so the lake and island kitchens cook on propane. A lazy yellow flame, black on the bottom of the pans, an oven that never quite reaches the set temperature — in most cases the orifice or the regulator, not the whole range.
After the lights come back
Compressor overloads that tripped, boards that dropped a relay, GFCIs left open in garages and boathouses — the calls that follow every November gale and January ice night. Nearly all of them are a single part, and the van carries it.
Craftsman basements
Around South Capitol and the Eastside the laundry waits at the foot of a steep 1920s staircase on wiring older than the appliance. The circuit gets checked before the machine gets blamed.
Where we go
Twelve neighborhoods, half an hour around the inlet.
A Summit Lake cabin and a Harrison Ave rambler are quoted the same — the drive is not on the bill.

Four stages, none skipped
The price goes on paper before a screw comes out.
- 01
Tell us what it is doing
Ring or use the form; a phone photo of the display or the model sticker saves a step. The shop calls you back to set an arrival window, and once more as the van pulls off Woodland Square Loop.
- 02
Readings first, opinions second
The technician tests the suspect part with instruments, tells you in plain words what gave out, and writes the repair down as a single price. The visit fee is already inside that number.
- 03
Most parts ride in the van
Fill valves, defrost heaters, igniters, drum rollers, drain pumps, relays — the things well water, salt air and winter outages wear out on this shore of the inlet. If the part has to come in by order, the return trip is on us.
- 04
A test run, then the invoice
You see a full cycle run start to finish, the kick panels and floor go back the way we found them, and the warranty term is typed onto the invoice.

Eight brands, machine by machine.
One page for each maker, two more for its most common machines, plus the display codes worth photographing.

What callers ask first.
What do I get for the visit fee?
Someone at the machine with test instruments, a plain-English name for whatever gave out, and the repair written down as a single price. Agree, and that visit fee is rolled into the repair price, so the invoice shows one total. Decline, and the visit fee settles everything — and you still know exactly what is wrong.
Our Steamboat Island house draws from a well. Does that change things?
It tells us where to look first. Iron and hardness from the till coat dishwasher heating elements, choke the fill valve on an ice maker and leave rust-colored rings in a washer drum; an empty salt tank on the softener is felt first at the dishwasher. We test the part, swap what has failed and give you a clear word on whether the treatment system is holding up.
The power came back on but the refrigerator never restarted.
The most familiar call of every November. Restarting against pressure trips the compressor overload, a relay on the control board can fail, or a GFCI in the garage or the boathouse has opened. Testing tells which one it is, and more often than not the fix is a single part, not a new fridge.
Should I read you the code on the display when I ring?
Please do. Samsung 5C, LG OE, Bosch E24, Whirlpool F5E2, GE F7 — each one narrows which parts go into the van. A phone photo of the display and one of the model sticker, sent by email or with the form, is ideal.
Does Summit Lake, Delphi or Black Lake cost extra to reach?
No. Anywhere within about half an hour of the shop at the Olympia–Lacey line is quoted the same, and mileage, gravel, gates and Saturdays never appear on the invoice.
What do you fix, and which makes?
Refrigerators and freezers, dishwashers, washers and dryers, cooktops, ranges and ovens, and the ice-maker modules inside refrigerators — GE, LG, Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Bosch, Maytag, Frigidaire, Electrolux, Kenmore and Speed Queen among them, Samsung on the laundry side, along with Miele, Viking, Thermador, Wolf and Sub-Zero built-ins. Microwaves, wine fridges, stand-alone ice machines, softeners and commercial gear go elsewhere.
Display flashing a code, or a refrigerator gone silent?
Tell us over the phone or book a day online. A technician tests the machine and writes the repair down as one price with the visit fee folded in; your invoice spells out the warranty term.
