Grouped by the kind of work involved, with the faults that come up most on each. The model number on the rating label is the most useful thing to have ready when you book.
Refrigeration
Cooling, defrost and ice faults. These run around the clock, and in Austin many of them live in a hot garage.
Refrigerator Repair
A warm fresh-food section above a cold freezer usually points to a stalled evaporator fan or a defrost fault, not the compressor.
Typical time on site 1–3 hours · 23 brands
Freezer Repair
Frost build-up and garage units that cannot hold temperature in summer; gaskets and the defrost circuit are checked before the sealed system.
Typical time on site 1–2 hours · 19 brands
Ice Maker Repair
Slow or no ice is most often a fill valve, a frozen fill tube or hard-water scale restricting the water supply.
Typical time on site 1–2 hours · 3 brands
Wine Cooler Repair
Temperature swings from fans, sensors or door seals. Thermoelectric units also cannot cool far below a warm room.
Typical time on site 1–2 hours · 12 brands
Model label: usually on a side wall or the ceiling inside the fresh-food section; on a chest freezer, on the back or near the lid hinge.
Laundry
Drain, spin and heat faults, plus the dryer vent, which decides more about drying time than most parts do.
Washer Repair
Will not drain or spin: a blocked pump filter, a failed drain pump or a door-lock fault. A washer that walks often just needs leveling.
Typical time on site 1–2 hours · 15 brands
Dryer Repair
No heat or long drying times. A restricted vent blows thermal fuses and wears heating parts, so airflow is checked first.
Typical time on site 1–2 hours · 15 brands
Model label: inside the lid or around the door opening on a washer; inside the door opening or on the back of a dryer.
Dishwashers
Draining, filling, cleaning and drying complaints. Central Texas hard water is part of almost every one.
Model label: on the edge of the door or the side of the tub, visible with the door open.
Cooking
Heating, ignition and temperature faults on gas, radiant and induction equipment.
Oven Repair
Not heating or not holding temperature: bake elements, gas igniters and temperature sensors account for most of it.
Typical time on site 1–2 hours · 23 brands
Range Repair
The cooktop and the oven fail separately and are diagnosed as two systems, with leveling and controls on slide-in and pro-style models.
Typical time on site 1–2.5 hours · 23 brands
Stove Repair
Burners that will not light or heat, and an oven section that will not reach temperature, on freestanding gas and electric models.
Typical time on site 1–2 hours · 23 brands
Cooktop Repair
Igniters that click or will not light, radiant elements and switches, and induction boards that throw error codes.
Typical time on site 1–2 hours · 23 brands
Microwave Repair
Runs but will not heat, sparking inside, and vent-fan or damper faults on over-the-range units.
Typical time on site 1–2 hours · 20 brands
Model label: behind the storage or warming drawer, or on the frame inside the oven door; on a microwave, inside the door frame.
Range, stove, oven or cooktop?
Most people use “stove” and “range” for the same thing, and either page fits a freestanding gas or electric model. Range repair also covers slide-in, dual-fuel, induction and pro-style models; stove repair sticks to basic freestanding units. Oven repair covers wall ovens and the oven side of any range, and cooktop repair covers built-in surface units with no oven underneath. Any of them books the same visit.
Refrigerator ice maker or separate ice machine?
An ice maker inside a refrigerator or freezer door is covered on the ice maker page along with undercounter, outdoor and commercial ice machines. If the refrigerator is also warm, start with refrigerator repair, since a cooling fault stops ice production too.
Built Around How Central Texas Homes Work
TrueFix Austin repairs every appliance on this page in Austin and in nearby cities from Georgetown and Leander to Manchaca and Del Valle. Each appliance page lists its common faults, the typical time on site and the manufacturers that actually build one, so you can see what a visit is likely to involve before you book.
Attic-Vented Dryers
Dryer vents in many Austin-area houses climb through the attic to a roof cap. Lint in that long run is checked before any heating part is blamed.
Upstairs Laundry
A second-floor washer that leaks reaches the ceiling below quickly. Shut both supply valves and book before running it again.
Condos & High-Rises
Compact 24-inch dishwashers and stacked laundry are common. Service-elevator time and any insurance certificate are arranged with management before the visit.
Garage Refrigeration
Garage fridges, chest freezers and beverage coolers run hardest in an Austin summer, so coils, fans and start components are checked first.
