What Counts as an Appliance Emergency
Not every fault is urgent, but some genuinely are. A built-in refrigerator that has lost cooling puts a full compartment of food at risk. A wine cooler climbing above 65 degrees threatens a collection. A gas cooktop that smells of gas is a safety issue that needs immediate attention. These are the calls we move to the front of the line.
- Refrigerator or freezer not cooling, with food at risk
- Wine storage losing temperature control
- Water actively leaking from a fridge line or dishwasher
- Gas smell, sparking, or a burner that will not shut off
- An oven down before an event you cannot reschedule
IF You Smell Gas
Do not operate switches or the appliance. Shut off the gas at the appliance valve if you can do so safely, ventilate the room, and if the odor is strong, leave and call your utility's emergency line. Once the area is safe, book a repair for the underlying fault.
Steps to Take While You Wait
A few actions protect your food and your appliance before the technician arrives:
- Refrigeration: move valuables to a working unit or cooler, keep the door closed, and clear anything blocking the condenser grille.
- Leaks: shut off the water supply to the appliance and mop up standing water to protect flooring and cabinetry.
- Cooking: turn off the affected burner or oven at the appliance and, if in doubt, at the gas valve.

Urgent Repair Questions
Do You Offer Appointment Emergency Repair?
My Sub-Zero Stopped Cooling. What Should I Do First?
Move the most perishable and valuable items to a working fridge or a cooler, confirm the unit has power and the condenser is not blocked, and book a visit. Avoid repeatedly opening the door, which lets warm air in.
Is There an Extra Charge for Urgent Visits?
Diagnostic and travel fees, if applicable, are confirmed before the appointment and before repair approval. We will always tell you the earliest realistic window rather than overpromise.
