Clayton County, Georgia, sits directly south of Atlanta, with part of Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport inside its northern edge and I-75 running down its middle. It is a compact county with a long history: Jonesboro, the county seat, dates to the railroad era, and Forest Park, Morrow, Riverdale, Lake City and Lovejoy grew along the roads and rail lines around it. Many neighborhoods were built in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s as brick ranches and split-levels for families working at the airport, the rail yards and the businesses along the interstate; newer subdivisions have filled in toward the south. Clayton State University in Morrow, the Georgia Archives and Reynolds Nature Preserve are among its landmarks. Appliance Repair Doctors make house calls throughout Clayton County. Each fault is pinned down with measurements, the reading is shown to you, and the repair starts only when you agree.
Call (470) 570-7920, or send the form on this page with your ZIP code and a few words about the problem. Clayton County visits can be scheduled for the same or the next day.
Choose the appliance, then enter a 5-digit ZIP code to see if we come to your area.
These pages go deeper into each place, with neighborhood notes and ZIP codes:
top-freezer, side-by-side and French-door models that warm up, frost or drip.
chest freezers under carports and uprights in laundry rooms.
ice makers that stop filling or turn into one frozen block.
small wine and drink fridges that lose their chill.
ovens that bake unevenly, run cold or stop mid-cycle.
coil, gas and smooth-top ranges and cooktops.
Mid-century and 1970s houses. Brick ranches and split-levels with compact kitchens, often updated over the years on older wiring.
Carports and lower levels. Second freezers and refrigerators live under carports or on the lower floor of split-levels, facing heat, cold and damp.
Rentals. Many houses and apartments are rented, and owners and tenants both need a clear account of each repair.
Shift-work households. With the airport and the interstate nearby, many residents work early, late or overnight.
Hot summers and storms. Long, humid summers wear out refrigerators faster, and storms bring outages and surges.
First, what you have noticed. When did it start? What does it do now? Was there a storm or a power cut first?
Then the numbers. Compartment temperatures, airflow over the evaporator and condenser, oven preheat time and temperature swing, and the flame or glow at each burner.
Then the parts and the power. Fans, defrost heaters and sensors, thermistors, door switches, water valves, igniters, elements, relays and boards are measured with a meter. In older homes the outlet voltage is checked too, so we never blame an appliance for a wiring fault. Refrigerant jobs are handled only by an EPA 608 certified technician.
Then your decision. You see the evidence and hear what the repair involves. With your go-ahead, we install genuine or OEM-approved parts and confirm the readings. Clayton County repairs are covered for up to 6 months, parts and labor.
Many Clayton County households keep airport and logistics hours. If you work nights, tell us when you sleep and when you can be home, and we will book the visit around it during our working hours. If a family member or neighbor can let the technician in, give us their name and number, and the technician will call before arriving. Requests through the form are welcome at any hour.
Freezers under a carport take direct afternoon sun on one side and summer humidity on the gasket. Freezers on the lower level of a split-level sit in cooler, damper air. Both lead to frost, long run times and early wear. Shade carport units where you can, keep them off wet concrete, and check gaskets by closing the door on a sheet of paper. If the paper slides out easily, the seal is weak. If frost returns quickly or the compressor never rests, we test the gasket, the start parts, the fans and the controls.
Clayton kitchens hold Whirlpool, GE, Frigidaire, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, Hotpoint, Samsung, LG, KitchenAid, Haier, Bosch, Electrolux and Midea, and we also repair Sub-Zero, Wolf, Viking, Thermador and Monogram. The names describe our work; we have no affiliation with any manufacturer.
A single failed component on an appliance in sound condition is generally worth fixing. If the compressor or sealed tubing has failed on an older refrigerator, or several expensive components are worn at once, buying new may make more sense. We show you the test results and give a frank view; the decision is yours.
Many Clayton County houses were built when refrigerators were smaller and kitchens drew far less power. Today's larger refrigerator may stand in an alcove sized for an older model, and a new range may rely on an outlet or a gas connection that has aged with the house. When we diagnose an appliance in one of these homes, clearances and power are checked along with the parts. A refrigerator with no room to breathe will keep wearing out its fan and start relay, and a loose outlet will keep resetting a control board, no matter how many parts are changed. If the cause lies in the house, you will hear that plainly, so an electrician or plumber can deal with it.
Besides the cities above, we make house calls in Riverdale, Rex, Lake City, Lovejoy and the neighborhoods around Lake Spivey and Panhandle Road. A quick ZIP code entry in the form tells you at once whether your street is on our route.
