Servicing Thor Kitchen Here
Our Thor Kitchen work in Arlington covers all 2 Arlington ZIP codes we cover. The fault is diagnosed where the appliance stands, and nothing is repaired until you've approved the price.
In this part of Arlington, a repair often begins at a front desk. Between Court House and Ballston a great many people live in towers where the washer and dryer are stacked in a closet, the refrigerator is framed in by cabinets, and the route to the kitchen runs through a garage, a lobby and an elevator. The other half of the work is a short walk away, in houses built between the wars, where the concern is more likely a basement drain older than anyone living upstairs.
Before we come out, two notes on Thor Kitchen: Thor Kitchen, founded in 2014 and based in Southern California, sells pro-style gas and dual-fuel ranges for less than the established pro brands; and Thor parts are distributed through fewer outlets than the big brands' parts, so we'll tell you how long one takes to arrive before you commit.
Call or book online, and we'll agree on a time together.
Who builds Thor Kitchen, and what that means for parts
Thor Kitchen engineers and builds its own appliances, so its parts and repair procedures are specific to Thor Kitchen, and parts for jobs in Arlington come through Thor Kitchen's own supply chain.
Include the model number when you book. The label is usually inside the door or lid, on the frame, behind the lower kick panel or on the back. That number lets us check the weak points of that particular platform and load those parts before the visit, instead of ordering after it.
Working on built-in Thor Kitchen equipment
Most Thor Kitchen equipment is built into cabinets or anchored in place, so in Arlington the first question is access. We work out removal ahead of the appointment, set aside a longer visit, and cover floors, cabinet faces and stone counters before anything slides out.
Replacing a built-in Thor Kitchen brings cabinetry or countertop work along with it. That's why a failure that would retire a freestanding appliance is usually just a repair on one of these.
Thor Kitchen in Arlington kitchens and laundry rooms
Stacked pairs that stop draining, or that need a second cycle because their exhaust travels through the building before reaching air; 24-inch dishwashers and slim refrigerators in galley kitchens; over-the-range microwaves that serve as the only hood over the cooktop; and in the older houses, basement washers and refrigerators on circuits that were added a room at a time.
Whatever the badge says, a Thor Kitchen appliance depends on the drain, vent, circuit and supply line it's connected to. In Arlington the washer and dryer usually sit in a hall closet holding a stacked washer-dryer in the condo towers, a shared laundry room in the older garden-apartment buildings, and the basement of the detached houses, and in high-rise condos and garden apartments those connections are often where a fault begins.
Upstairs washers and water damage
In townhouses and many newer houses around Arlington, the washer is on the bedroom floor, so a leak doesn't stay on the floor; it comes through the ceiling below. Most leaks start at a hookup rather than inside the machine: a rubber supply hose that finally split, a drain hose that slipped out of its standpipe, a door boot torn by a zipper.
Stainless-braided hoses, a pan under the machine and a valve within arm's reach cost little next to a ceiling repair. When water shows up, close the valve and pull the plug first, then call.
Gas ranges, dryers and safety
Glowing oven igniters with no flame, clicking burners that never light and gas dryers that spin without heat are everyday gas repairs. The usual parts are a weak igniter, a valve coil or a flame sensor.
The piping and the shutoff valve upstream of the appliance belong to a gas fitter; if we spot trouble there, you'll hear about it.
Thor Kitchen Service in Brief
Thor Kitchen Repair Questions
Brief answers to what customers most often ask us. Don't see yours? Ask when you call, or add it to the notes when you book online.
Still have a question?
Get in touch with the brand, the symptom and, if you can find it, the model number. Some things we can answer right away; others need a technician in front of the machine.
Usually, if we know ahead. Name each appliance that's misbehaving when you book the Arlington visit, model numbers included, and the day is planned with room for all of them.
A little. Most repairs are done where the machines stand, and around Arlington laundry is usually in a hall closet holding a stacked washer-dryer in the condo towers, a shared laundry room in the older garden-apartment buildings, and the basement of the detached houses. If the machines are upstairs, in a tight closet or behind a finished wall, mention it when you book so we can plan for anything that has to be moved.
Many refrigerators are designed for a room kept at household temperatures, and a closed garage in Arlington runs much hotter in July. The compressor then runs almost without stopping and a dusty condenser makes it worse. The manual lists your model's rated range, and we check whether it's the location or a fault before quoting anything.
We start with the Thor Kitchen part listed for your model number. If Thor Kitchen no longer supplies it, we look for an equivalent and tell you it is one before it goes in. Thor Kitchen designs and builds its own platform, so the parts come through Thor Kitchen's own supply.
Usually repair. Thor Kitchen builds for a longer service life than entry-level lines, and a built-in is tied into cabinetry that any replacement would have to fit. One failed component on a machine of ordinary age rarely justifies starting over, and if yours turns out to be the exception, we'll say so.
Booking Thor Kitchen Service
Copy the model number from the Thor Kitchen label (inside the door, under the lid or on the frame) before you call or book. We quote after testing, and the repair waits for your yes.
