Repairing Hobart in Langley Park & University Park
We repair Hobart appliances across Langley Park & University Park, in all 2 of its ZIP codes. A technician finds the fault on site, you see the price and decide, and we're independent rather than a Hobart service center.
Brick garden-apartment courts around the University Boulevard and New Hampshire Avenue crossroads give way, a mile or two south, to the shaded single-family blocks of University Park and the postwar streets of Chillum and Avondale. It is a close-in part of Prince George's County where the Northwest Branch splits the neighborhoods and Metro stops sit at the southern edge.
Call or book online, and we'll find a time that suits you.
Hobart: platform and parts
Hobart is part of the ITW Food Equipment family, and brands in a family share engineering and many components. For a repair in Langley Park & University Park that helps: parts are easier to find, and the ways these designs tend to fail are well known.
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.
Hobart equipment in Langley Park & University Park kitchens and bars
A Hobart unit that's down costs a business money every hour. We try to reach commercial calls in Langley Park & University Park outside the busiest part of the day, and ask for the model and serial number up front so the likeliest parts come along.
Cold holding and ice are food-safety matters, so the visit ends with a written record of what was found and replaced. When the root cause is maintenance, such as a grease-coated condenser, a torn door gasket or scale in an ice machine, we point it out, since that's where the next failure starts.
Where Hobart appliances sit in Langley Park & University Park
Apartment kitchens here mostly hold landlord-chosen ranges and top-freezer refrigerators, while the houses carry gas ranges, basement washers and dryers, and refrigerators fitted into kitchens laid out generations ago.
Whatever the badge, a Hobart appliance in Langley Park & University Park is only as good as the drain, circuit, duct and water line behind it, and here the laundry is usually in a shared laundry room in the apartment courts and an unfinished basement under the University Park and Chillum houses.
Storm outages and the food inside
Summer thunderstorms bring down lines around Langley Park & University Park, 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.

Hobart Repair Questions in Langley Park & University Park
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.
The brand, the model number, a line about what's wrong, and any error code exactly as it appears. A photo of the rating label is better still, because it's how the right parts come along on the first trip.
Start with the manufacturer while the warranty is running; covered repairs are handled by its own network, and we're an independent company with no factory authorization. After the warranty ends, or for a fault it excludes, book with us in Langley Park & University Park.
Usually. List every appliance giving trouble when you book a Langley Park & University Park visit, with model numbers if you have them, so enough time is set aside and the likely parts come along.
Where Hobart 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. Hobart shares parts with the other ITW Food Equipment brands, so compatible parts are usually easy to find, even for older units.
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.
