What we do
Appliance Diagnostics & Installation across Sarasota
Before you spend money on a new appliance, it's worth knowing whether the old one is genuinely finished. Matt spent 12 years in appliance repair before starting Shore Fix It, so a diagnostic visit gets you a straight answer rather than a sales pitch, and if it does need replacing, we'll install the new one.
Repair or replace: an honest read
The appliance repair business has changed, and not in the customer's favor. Parts availability on newer units is worse, control boards cost a significant fraction of a new machine, and there's a real point past which repair stops making sense. Knowing where that line sits for your specific unit is the whole value of a diagnostic, and it's knowledge from years inside the trade, not guesswork.
Sometimes the answer genuinely is a cheap part. A dishwasher that won't drain is often a blocked filter or a failed drain pump rather than a dead machine, and a dryer that runs but doesn't heat is usually an element or a thermal fuse. Those are worth fixing. We'd rather tell you that than sell you an installation you didn't need.
Installation matters more than people expect, particularly for anything plumbed. Dishwasher and fridge water line connections that aren't done properly leak slowly into a cabinet base or under flooring, and in a Florida house that turns into a much bigger problem than a wet patch. We test connections under pressure before we call it finished.

Questions
Appliance Diagnostics & Installation: common questions
Short, direct answers. If yours isn't here, just ask.
Ask us something elseDo you repair appliances or only install them?
We diagnose and advise, and handle installation and fixture-level work. Full component-level repair on modern sealed systems often isn't economical, and we'll tell you honestly when that's the case rather than charging you to find out.
Can you install a dishwasher or replace a range?
Yes: removal of the old unit, installation of the new one, and testing of the water and drain connections. We haul the old appliance away if you want it gone.
Can you run a water line to a new refrigerator?
Yes, for ice makers and water dispensers. We test under pressure before we finish, because a slow leak behind a fridge does real damage before anyone notices it.
Is a diagnostic visit worth it before I buy new?
Often, yes. If the fix is a filter, a pump, or a thermal fuse, you've saved the price of a machine. If it isn't worth repairing, you'll get told that plainly.
