JennAir repair in Miami, job by job.

Diagnostic visit

We read what the appliance is reporting, then measure before saying anything about the repair. On a built-in kitchen that also means working out how the appliance comes out before anybody touches it. The fee is credited toward the work when you go ahead.

• The code read on site, and the free causes ruled out first
• Measured rather than guessed
• Credited toward the repair

Dishwasher drain & pump repair

Water standing in the tub at the end of a cycle, or a machine that stops and will not restart. Three of the four usual causes are outside the appliance, which is why this visit starts at the sink rather than under the machine.

• The tub filter, air gap and disposal plug checked first
• Drain pump and check valve tested under load
• Leaks from underneath traced to the source, not mopped

Dishwasher wash & filter service

Dishes coming out gritty, filmed or still dirty on one rack. This is the repair that most often ends without a part — and the one where South Florida water is doing more of the work than anything mechanical.

• Filter, spray arms and jets cleared and checked turning
• Wash pressure proved rack by rack
• Rinse aid and detergent set for this water

Dishwasher control & door repair

A panel that will not respond, a machine that will not start, or a heavy paneled door that has stopped closing square. On a fully integrated machine the controls are hidden along the top edge, which changes how any of this is diagnosed.

• Panel and board told apart before anything is ordered
• Door springs, cables and latch checked under the panel's real weight
• Alignment set with the cabinet front back on

Refrigerator defrost & cooling repair

A cabinet drifting warm, frost building where it should not, or a column that runs constantly and never quite gets there. This is where most refrigeration calls land, and it is the band the expensive one is reached by eliminating.

• Airflow and defrost measured before anything about refrigerant
• Evaporator fan, heater, thermistors and damper checked in order
• The condenser cleaned and the result proved before we leave

Sealed system & compressor repair

The largest figure on this site and the only one quoted last. Recovery, leak location, the repair, a new filter drier, evacuation and a charge weighed to the plate. Reached only after everything cheaper has been measured and excluded.

• Quoted only after the whole cheaper list is ruled out on record
• Charge weighed to the plate, not topped up by feel
• The warranty position established before any figure is given

Refrigerator water & dispenser repair

Water on the floor, an ice maker that has stopped, a dispenser that dribbles or nothing at all. One inlet valve and one filter usually feed both, which is why this is one job rather than two.

• The whole water path followed: supply, valve, filter, line, maker
• A frozen fill tube ruled out before any part is ordered
• Leaks traced rather than mopped

Door, gasket & alignment repair

The cheapest thing on the refrigeration list and the one that imitates the most expensive. A tired seal produces a cabinet that will not hold temperature, condensation, and a compressor running far longer than it should. On this make it is often the cabinet panel rather than the appliance.

• Seal checked along its whole length, not eyeballed
• The cabinet panel and its hardware ruled in or out first
• Hinges and closing set with the real door weight on them

Freezer frost & drain service

Frost winning against the defrost cycle, ice on the floor of the cabinet, or water underneath it. On a frost-free column any of those means the defrost circuit is not doing its job, and it gets worse rather than settling.

• The evaporator looked at rather than guessed at
• Defrost heater, sensor and control measured in turn
• The drain cleared and proved to run

Wine cellar cooling & airflow repair

A cabinet that has drifted two degrees, one zone holding while the other does not, or a new noise through the racks. A wine cellar rarely stops outright — it drifts, and it says nothing about it.

• Airflow at the toe-kick grille checked before any component
• Both zones measured independently of the display
• Humidity measured, because no panel reports it

Ice machine cleaning & descaling

Less ice than there used to be, or ice that has gone cloudy and soft. Most ice machine calls in this city are a cleaning that was postponed until it became a symptom — which is why this row exists and is cheaper than the one below it.

• The whole water path cleaned, not only the bin
• Scale removed rather than rinsed around
• Production measured before and after

Ice maker fill & harvest repair

A machine that fills and never releases, or one that never fills at all. Freezing and harvesting are two different halves and they fail for different reasons — which half yours is decides the repair.

• Fill and harvest tested as separate stages
• A frozen fill tube ruled out before any part
• Bin sensor checked, because it causes both complaints

Range burner & ignition repair

A burner that clicks and will not light, lights and drops out, or holds a hard flame and refuses to come down to a simmer. On a dual-stacked burner that last one is its own repair, because there are two gas paths under one grate.

• Cap seating and port cleaning before any part
• Spark, sensing and gas told apart rather than lumped together
• Each stage of a dual-stacked burner proved separately

Griddle & grill zone repair

The chrome-infused griddle or the gas grill let into the middle of the cooktop, with its own control and its own sensor. Good news when it goes: the rest of the range keeps working, and nothing about the ovens underneath is involved.

• Treated as its own circuit, because that is what it is
• The rest of the range stays usable while a part is on order
• Temperature proved across the whole plate, not at one point

Oven heat & sensor repair

An oven running hot, running cold, taking far too long, or not heating at all — and the door that will not unlock after a self-clean. On a built-in oven the repair is often short and the access is the appointment.

• Calibration tried before any part is ordered
• Sensor, elements and convection measured under load
• The oven out of its housing and back in leveled

Cooking control & display repair

A panel that lights and ignores you, a display that has gone dark, or an appliance reporting a code with nothing visibly wrong. The board is never ordered on the strength of a code alone.

• A full minute at the breaker tried first, because it often works
• Touch panel and control board told apart by measurement
• What the board reports on measured before the board is blamed

Cooktop surface & element repair

A radiant zone stuck on full or dead altogether, a switch that has stopped metering, or glass that has cracked. Two very different jobs in one band, which is exactly why it is a band.

• Element and switch told apart, because they share a symptom
• Glass availability confirmed before anything is booked
• A cracked surface goes off at the breaker and stays off

Induction cooktop repair

A zone that cuts out under load while the others keep going, an error that appears with a big pan and not a small one, or a cooktop that shuts down after twenty minutes. On induction, most of these are heat and air rather than a failed part.

• The air the installation actually gets, measured first
• Zone behavior proved with the right pan and the wrong one
• Power board and sensor separated before anything is ordered

Downdraft vent & lift repair

A downdraft that runs and no longer pulls, or one that will not rise out of the counter. This maker invented downdraft ventilation and still sells it — and most of what stops one is not the appliance.

• Filter, damper and duct checked before the blower
• Remote blowers located, because they are not in the kitchen
• The lift mechanism treated as mechanical, which is what it is

Microwave magnetron & high-voltage repair

The appliance runs, lights and turns, and nothing gets hot. That is the high-voltage side, it is never an owner repair under any circumstances, and on a built-in unit the arithmetic about repairing it is different from a countertop machine.

• Never an owner repair — the capacitor holds a charge after unplugging
• Interlocks and control ruled out before the expensive half
• Built-in cutout dimensions considered before recommending replacement

Microwave door & drawer repair

A drawer that will not open, will not close far enough to start, or opens when it feels like it. On four of this maker's microwaves the door is a motorized drawer, which is a mechanism no other appliance in the kitchen has.

• Drive, rails and switches treated as one mechanism
• Interlocks checked, because a healthy machine refuses to run without them
• Alignment set with the drawer under its own weight

Microwave-hood vent repair

The fan on an over-the-range unit no longer clearing the cooktop. The cheapest visit on this site, honestly — and it starts with filters, because a recirculating unit with a saturated charcoal filter moves air and removes nothing.

• Filters and the ducted-or-recirculating question first
• Blower, damper and switch measured in that order
• A dead microwave means a dead hood, and the reverse is not true

Appliance maintenance

One visit covering every filter, condenser, seal, grille, duct and descale in the kitchen. This row exists to keep the $695 row away, and in a house with a full suite from one maker it is the cheapest money on this site.

• Every appliance in the kitchen on one visit
• Second and third appliance far cheaper than the first
• Written down, so next year starts from a record

Appliance installation

Built in, paneled, or both — which is nearly everything on this make. Hanging a cabinet door on an appliance and aligning it to a run is not the same work as sliding something into a gap, and this is where a meaningful share of the repairs on this site are prevented or created.

• Clearances and ventilation to the maker's own instructions
• Cabinet panels hung, aligned and left square
• The mistakes that become service calls, avoided at the start

Ranges

Thirty machines in the current line and the most expensive thing in most of these kitchens. Dual-fuel and gas professional ranges with dual-stacked burners, a chrome-infused griddle or a gas grill built into the top, the first induction professional-style range this maker has built, and the slide-ins. A 48-inch range is two ovens, six burners and a griddle in one appliance, and any one of those can be the reason you called.

Cooktops and rangetops

The widest row on this site: thirty-nine cooktops and fourteen professional rangetops, which are the same repair under a different word. Induction, radiant glass, sealed gas, and the downdraft cooktops that pull the steam down through the counter instead of up into a hood — an idea this maker invented and still sells.

Wall ovens

Twenty machines: single ovens, double ovens, the microwave-combination towers that are two appliances in one cabinet, and the speed ovens. Almost all of them are built into a run of cabinetry, which decides more about the appointment than the repair itself does — a wall oven has to come out of its housing before anybody can reach the back of it.

Refrigerators

The largest row in this line and the one this phone rings about most. Built-in cabinets and panel-ready columns from 18 to 48 inches, French door, the undercounter units that live in an island or a bar run, refrigerated drawers and beverage centers. Most of them are trimmed into your cabinetry, which is the first thing we need to know.

Freezers

This make builds three standalone freezers and they are all the same idea: a panel-ready column, single temperature, meant to stand beside a refrigerator column behind matching cabinetry. That is the whole row, and it is a short one on purpose. The freezer half of a combination cabinet is covered on the refrigerator page, because that is the same appliance.

Wine cellars

Undercounter cellars and full-height wine columns, most of them dual-zone and most of them panel-ready. A wine cabinet almost never stops outright: it drifts a few degrees, holds the wrong humidity, or starts vibrating, and it says nothing about any of it. In a market with a great many second homes, that can run a whole season before anybody notices.

Dishwashers

Ten machines, all of them 24 inches, all of them quiet enough that the loudest thing in the kitchen is the water. Fully integrated, panel-ready and pocket-handle fronts; a third rack for cutlery on most of the line. On the integrated machines the controls are hidden along the top edge of the door, which changes how a problem is diagnosed more than it changes the machine.

Microwaves

Thirteen machines and four quite different appliances sharing a word: the built-in ovens that sit in a cabinet run, the drawer units that open downwards out of an island, the over-the-range models that are a microwave and a ventilation hood in one, and the speed ovens that add convection and browning to the microwave underneath.

Ice machines

Two machines in the current line, both undercounter, both 15 inches, and most of what goes wrong with them is water rather than refrigeration. An ice machine is a small appliance with a plumbing problem attached — a supply, a path through the machine, and a drain — and in this water all three of those want attention long before the sealed system does.
