Avondale Estates, Georgia, is a small DeKalb County city just east of Decatur, about eight miles from downtown Atlanta. It was laid out in the mid-1920s as a planned community inspired by Stratford-upon-Avon, and the Tudor Revival storefronts along North Avondale Road still give the town its storybook look. Behind them, curving streets lead past Lake Avondale and through neighborhoods of 1920s to 1950s houses, many of them part of a historic district, with newer homes and townhomes added at the edges. Kitchens in these houses have usually been remodeled at least once, often fitted with modern built-in and counter-depth appliances inside walls that are close to a century old.

counter-depth, built-in, panel-ready and standard refrigerators that warm up or leak.
freezer drawers, uprights in basements and chest freezers in garages.
ice makers in the door, in the freezer or under a bar counter.
undercounter wine units and beverage drawers fitted into remodeled kitchens.
wall ovens, range ovens and speed ovens that will not heat correctly.
pro-style gas ranges, rangetops, induction and glass cooktops.
Historic houses with remodeled kitchens. Tudor, Craftsman and cottage-style homes often hide very modern kitchens behind their period exteriors, with built-in refrigeration and professional-style ranges.
Panel-ready appliances. Refrigerators, dishwashers and wine units dressed with cabinet panels look built in but need access to grilles, hinges and vents for service.
Old walls, new circuits. Remodels usually bring new wiring and gas lines, but not always all of it. Some kitchens mix new and old circuits.
Basements and garages. Older homes on sloping lots often have a basement or detached garage with a second refrigerator or a freezer.
Mature trees. Oaks shade most streets, and summer storms bring down limbs and power lines. Surges on restart are hard on electronics.
Hearing the story. When did the problem start? What does the appliance do now? Was there a storm, a remodel or a new appliance installed nearby?
Measuring performance. Temperatures in each zone, airflow over the evaporator and condenser, oven preheat time and temperature drift, burner flame and element glow, and stored error codes on newer units.
Testing parts. Fans, dampers, defrost heaters and sensors, thermistors, door switches, water valves, igniters, elements, relays and boards are measured with a meter. We also check voltage and connections, so a house problem is not mistaken for an appliance fault. Refrigerant work goes to our EPA 608 certified technician.
Showing you the result. You see the reading that points to the failed part and hear what the repair involves.
Repairing carefully. With your approval, we install genuine or OEM-approved parts, protect cabinetry and floors while we work, run the appliance and recheck. Avondale Estates repairs carry a warranty of up to 6 months for parts and labor.
Appliances hidden behind cabinet panels are beautiful, but they depend on air moving through grilles that are easy to forget. A built-in refrigerator breathes through a grille at the top or the bottom; an undercounter wine unit or ice maker usually breathes through the toe kick. When trim, a rug or stored items block those openings, the appliance runs hot and parts wear early. Keep grilles open and clean, and vacuum behind them twice a year. When a panel-ready unit needs service, our technician works with the panel in place where the design allows and protects the surrounding cabinetry when it does not.
A remodel can leave a mix of old and new behind the walls. A refrigerator may be on a new outlet, while the range shares an older circuit. A gas line may have been extended to reach a new cooktop. When an appliance fails in an older house, we check the power and the connection along with the parts. If the tests show the problem is in the house rather than the appliance, we tell you, so the right trade can handle it.
Basements in Avondale Estates' older homes are cool in winter and can turn damp in summer. A second refrigerator or freezer down there faces both conditions. Detached garages can be very hot in July and cold in January. If a basement or garage unit frosts heavily, sweats or stops cycling, tell us where it stands and what that space is like. We test the gasket, the defrost system, the start parts and the controls, and let you know whether the unit suits its location.
We repair Sub-Zero, Wolf, Thermador, Monogram, Viking, Miele, Bosch and Fisher & Paykel, as well as Whirlpool, GE, Frigidaire, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, KitchenAid, Samsung, LG, Electrolux and Haier. These names describe the work we do; we are not affiliated with any of these makers.
Built-in and premium appliances are designed for long service, and a single failed part on a sound unit is almost always worth repairing, especially when the appliance is fitted to custom cabinetry. When the sealed system has failed on an older unit, or several major parts are worn at once, replacement deserves a look. We share the readings and our honest view, and you decide.
