Repairing Avanti in Silver Spring
We repair Avanti appliances across Silver Spring, in all 4 of its ZIP codes. A technician finds the fault on site, you see the price and decide, and we're independent rather than a Avanti service center.
Silver Spring is really a string of places sharing one post-office name. Downtown is towers and apartment buildings stacked over the Red Line, busy enough that parking is the first thing to plan. Head up Georgia Avenue or Colesville Road and it turns into street after street of houses built in the decades around World War II, many with a basement, a gas line, and a kitchen updated once or twice since.
Call or book online, and we'll find a time that suits you.
Avanti: platform and parts
Avanti designs its own equipment, so its parts and service procedures are its own, and parts for a job in Silver Spring come through Avanti's supply chain.
Include the model number with your booking. Look for a sticker around the door opening, under the lid, along the frame or behind a lower panel; with it we can look up that design's known weak points and bring those parts.
Is an Avanti worth fixing?
Avanti keeps its designs simple and affordable, which helps at repair time: with little electronics inside, most Avanti faults in Silver Spring turn out to be simple parts like switches, pumps, belts, valves or fuses, and they're quick to trace.
The other side is that a new Avanti is inexpensive too, so only the smaller repairs make financial sense. If a major part has failed on an older one, expect us to suggest replacing it.
Where Avanti appliances sit in Silver Spring
Basement washers and dryers in Cape Cods and split-levels, dryer vents leaving through a block foundation wall just above the grass, gas ranges on Washington Gas lines, refrigerators squeezed into kitchens remodeled around their original openings, and in the apartments, stacked laundry and compact dishwashers.
Whatever the badge, an Avanti appliance in Silver Spring is only as good as the drain, circuit, duct and water line behind it, and here the laundry is usually in a closet in the downtown apartments, a shared laundry room in many garden apartment buildings, and the basement in most of the houses.
Storm outages and the food inside
Summer thunderstorms bring down lines around Silver Spring, and some outages run a day or more; the June 2012 derecho left parts of the region dark for days. Keep the refrigerator and freezer closed while it lasts. Federal food-safety guidance allows about four hours for a shut refrigerator, about 48 for a full freezer and about 24 for a half-full one.
What damages electronics is often the moment power comes back rather than the outage itself. An appliance that stays dark or throws a code afterwards can often be reset by switching its breaker off for a minute. If it doesn't recover, tell us about the outage when you book.
Stacked laundry in apartments and condos
Heat-pump and condenser dryers, and all-in-one washer-dryers, need no outside vent, but their lint screens, condensers and drain filters want cleaning far more often than owners expect. Most slow-drying complaints on these end in a cleaning rather than a part.
Check the manual for where the extra filter or condenser is, rinse it on a regular schedule, and cycle times usually return to normal.

Avanti Repair Questions in Silver Spring
The questions that come up most often. Anything not covered here, ask us when you call, or add it to the booking form's notes field.
Have a different question?
Tell us what make it is and what's going wrong. A few things can be settled over the phone, and anything else gets looked at during the visit.
Usually. List every appliance giving trouble when you book a Silver Spring visit, with model numbers if you have them, so enough time is set aside and the likely parts come along.
No. Diagnosis comes first, because one symptom can point to parts with wildly different prices. After the technician finds the cause at your Silver Spring address, you get the quote, and nothing is touched until you say yes. If repairing it isn't sensible, you'll hear that too.
48 of them, from everyday names such as Whirlpool, GE, Samsung, LG and Frigidaire to built-in makers like Sub-Zero, Wolf, Thermador and Miele, plus commercial equipment from True, Hoshizaki, Manitowoc and others. We're independent, not an authorized service center for any of them.
Where Avanti still makes the part for your model number, that's what we fit. For discontinued parts there's sometimes an equivalent, and you'll know it's an equivalent before it's installed. Avanti builds its own platform, so its parts come from Avanti.
Mostly that turns on which part failed and how old the appliance is. Wear parts such as pumps, valves, belts, igniters and fan motors are almost always worth doing. A control board or refrigerant leak on an aging unit is a closer decision, and when replacement is the better value we tell you directly.
