Small Appliance Repair (Limited Scope) – Absolute Repair LLC

Absolute Repair LLC offers limited small appliance repair and troubleshooting in Greensburg, PA and surrounding areas of Westmoreland County. Our focus is on basic, handyman-level help with select household appliances – not full manufacturer service center work, not gas appliances, and not sealed-system refrigeration.

We use custom, AI-assisted photo estimates for every job. We do not post flat-fee repair menus, and we do not sell open-ended hourly “time blocks.” Each small appliance job is evaluated individually for safety, scope, and whether we are the right fit.

• Basic, non-gas, non-high-voltage, small household appliances only
• AI-assisted photo review before we agree to take the job
• Honest feedback if you really need a specialty shop or factory service

We reserve the right to decline any small appliance job that appears unsafe, outside of handyman scope, or better suited for a dedicated appliance repair shop or factory-authorized service center.

What Small Appliance Work We May Take On

Not every small appliance is a good candidate. Whether we can help depends on the type of appliance, what is wrong with it, its age, and whether repair makes financial sense. Our goal is to give realistic options – not to charge you for something that should clearly be replaced or taken to a specialty shop.

Small Appliances We Will NOT Work On

To protect your safety, your property, and our business, there are appliances and situations that we do not repair as a handyman-level service.

• No gas appliances (stoves, heaters, gas dryers, etc.)
• No sealed-system refrigeration (compressors, refrigerant lines, etc.)
• No high-voltage internal repairs on complex devices
• No microwaves, CRT televisions, or similar high-voltage devices
• No medical equipment or devices tied to health and safety monitoring
• No appliances with major fire or water damage that make repair unsafe

If your item appears to fall into one of these categories, we will recommend you contact a licensed specialist, factory-authorized service center, or the original manufacturer for guidance.

How Pricing Works for Small Appliance Jobs

We do not post flat-fee repair charts for small appliances and we do not sell open-ended hourly “time blocks.” Every job is evaluated with a custom written estimate that is based on your photos, information, and our assessment of whether the repair is worth attempting.

1. You send photos & details.
   Text clear photos of the appliance (front, back, label/model number if possible), describe the problem, and include your name and city/ZIP to 878-786-0091.
2. AI-assisted estimate review.
   We use AI-assisted tools to help interpret your photos and description, then combine that with our experience to decide if: (a) we can safely attempt it, and (b) it seems financially reasonable.
3. Custom written estimate, if appropriate.
   If it looks like a reasonable candidate, we provide a written estimate that outlines: what we will attempt, clear limits, and the projected cost. If it does not look reasonable, we will tell you instead of charging for something we don’t believe in.
4. On-site confirmation before going further.
   If we see, on-site, that the appliance is in much worse condition than it appeared in your photos, or that the issue is clearly beyond handyman scope, we may recommend stopping and not proceeding with repair.

We cannot guarantee that any particular appliance can be fully repaired. Sometimes the only honest outcome is an evaluation and a recommendation to replace it.

Warranty & Limitations for Small Appliance Work

Small appliance repair is different from installing something new. Parts may be discontinued, units may already be near the end of their life, and some failures can return even after reasonable work has been done.

• We are not a factory-authorized service center for any brand.
• We do not promise to restore an appliance to “like new” condition.
• Any warranty or guarantee will be clearly listed on your specific estimate or invoice.
• We cannot extend or replace any manufacturer warranty you may have.

Before we begin, we will discuss realistic expectations. If we believe a repair attempt is a gamble with low odds, we will tell you so plainly and let you decide whether to move forward.

Safety, Legal Limits & When We Say No

Safety comes first. If we believe a small appliance is unsafe to work on, has been damaged by fire, water, or misuse, or is simply outside what a handyman should be doing, we will decline the job.

• We do not perform work that would clearly require a licensed electrician, gas fitter, or similar specialist.
• We do not bypass safety devices or defeat built-in safety features.
• We do not modify appliances in ways that could create fire or shock hazards.
• We comply with applicable Pennsylvania laws and stay within handyman-appropriate work.

Our job is to help where it makes sense – and to say “no” where it doesn’t. That honesty is part of how we protect our customers and our community.

Examples – When We Might Help vs. When We Might Refer You Out

These are only examples. Your specific situation will be evaluated individually using your photos, description, and our judgment.

Have a Small Appliance You’re Not Sure About?

Send us photos, the model number, and a short description of the problem. We’ll let you know if it looks like a reasonable handyman-level job and what a custom AI-assisted estimate might look like – or whether we think you’re better off replacing it or using a specialty shop.
