It's easy to take our appliances for granted. That is why it can be especially inconvenient when our appliances malfunction. Whether it is your refrigerator, your laundry machine, or air conditioner, it can be difficult to get by without working appliances. Yet fixing appliances is never as simple as it should be. Maybe you have to wait a few weeks to receive service, maybe the repairs aren't reliable, or maybe you are being charged more than you were quoted for your services. For something as essential as your home appliances, it is surprising how much of a hassle repairing them can be.
