A Peninsula Town East Of Baltimore
Essex, Maryland is a peninsula in eastern Baltimore County, with Back River to the west, Middle River to the east and Hart Miller Island just offshore. Eastern Boulevard is its main street, and CCBC Essex opened here in 1957 as Essex Community College.
Our local appliance repair service in Essex runs from the Dundalk shop during the work week: techs drive over and fix the appliance where it's installed, whether the house is a block off Eastern Boulevard or out toward the water. With water on both sides, a big storm can push it indoors, and a washer, dryer or freezer that has stood in floodwater should stay unplugged until its motor and controls have been checked.
Factory certified for LG, GE, Dacor and Broan, and experienced on every major brand from Whirlpool to Sub-Zero.

Appliances We Repair In Essex
Any of these can be fixed in place, whether the house sits in the ten blocks laid out in 1909 or on a mid-century street off Eastern Boulevard. Our appliance repair specialists in Essex handle refrigerator repair, upright freezer repair, washing machine repair, dryer repair, stove repair and garbage disposal repair on major appliance brands, and many of those repairs are completed in a single visit.
How Essex Filled In
Essex began in 1909, when the Taylor Land Company laid out ten blocks from Mace Avenue to Marlyn Avenue for Baltimore families who wanted room outside the city. The big growth came with World War II, when the Glenn L. Martin Company employed more than 53,000 people, and most of what stands in Essex now is mid-century suburban housing.
Kitchens from those years were built before a dishwasher or a refrigerator ice maker was something every house had. Both usually arrived later, in a remodel, squeezed into space that had been planned for something else. So the dishwasher tends to drain through the sink plumbing or a disposal, and the ice maker runs on a water line somebody added after the fact.
That's why a repair visit here often starts behind the machine. A clogged drain connection or a pinched water line can pass for a failed part, and checking them first keeps you from paying for a pump or a valve you never needed.
Essex Dishwasher And Oven Repair
An Essex dishwasher repair or oven repair happens in your kitchen, and each suspect part is tested in place before anything is swapped.
Dishwasher Won't Fill
A closed or failed inlet valve, a float switch stuck in the up position, or a door latch the control doesn't read as shut.
Dishes Come Out Wet Or Cold
The heating element, the sensor that controls it, or a rinse-aid dispenser that has run dry. A cycle that drags on for hours is often the machine waiting on water that never gets hot enough, which points to the same parts.
Electric Oven Won't Bake
Usually a bake element that has burned through. You can often see the break or a blister on it.
Gas Oven Stays Cold
Often an igniter that glows but never gets hot enough for the gas valve to open.
A puddle on the floor by the dishwasher usually comes from the door gasket, a cracked spray arm, or suds from hand dish soap put in by mistake, and food that burns or comes out underdone at the set temperature leads to the oven's temperature sensor or its control board.

Had very nice experience with this company. They have great communication tools, answer the phone, provide very detailed schedule and communicate the technician arrival time. Ricardo worked on our fridge over 4 hours and didn't leave till he fixed it, it was after 8 pm! Felt like good old days reliable service!

The whole team has great customer service. I would recommend this company and will definitely use them again. The repair men, Brian and Hosa were extremely nice, friendly, and competent. They made sure I understood what was wrong and what was needed to repair the problem. Thanks to the whole Doctor Maintenance Team!
From the phone call from the office to set up appointment to the technicians coming out. What a wonderful company and service. Washer started working before they came out. But they still checked it and when they had to come back out there was no extra charge and they were prompt and efficient. Very friendly knowledgeable staff. My new go to for appliance repair.
A great company to work with, having a strong customer service focus.
Ricardi serviced my Samsung washing machine which was not spinning and draining. Located the problem quickly, promptly fixed and placed machine back in place. Will certainly call next time for service as needed here in Catonsville!
Sue was amazing. Help solve all my problems and also assisted in rescheduling a very important appointment.
Had some issues locating the source of the problem, but they promptly returned and completed the job as promised.
These guys never showed up. I waited all day for an AM window 8-12…they texted me at 2pm said the tech was still on the way. No one came. I called them and they answered but put me on hold and hung up on me. We have an LG side by side refrigerator purchased 2021 from Home Depot. LG says it is still under warranty but this company does not show up to fix anything. We got a quote from a local repair company and it is the compressor; $2000 labor cost. What good is a warranty with no one to stand behind it. I reminded me of a scene in the Tommy Boy movie about a warranty being not as good as the box it is in.
Worst experience I have lately with any maintenance service provider. If I had an option, I would give -5 (Negative 5). I am questioning the authenticity of 4.5 reviews from 192 reviews or may be their recent service has been bad. Here are issues: 1> Choice Home warranty assigned to them. They were supposed to come on Nov 5th. Nobody came. 2> When I followed up they said - it is not scheduled there is a disconnect between our system and LG's system or not sure whose system. I called and waiting time was 30+ minutes. 3> After technician came to resolve issue. He said within 24 to 48 hours it will be approved. It was November 7th. 4> On Nov 11th, I called and inquired after few days with Doctor Maintenance. They said part is being ordered but we don't know when will come. Let us follow up. I received a message that it is not approved. Between 11th and 18th - I called multiple times and nobody is picking up phone. 5> After few more days - on November 18th, I contacted Choice Home Warranty. They said they have not received any diagnostics from technician. We will follow up. While I thought, issue will be resolved in 1-2 weeks. Even after 17 days, my dryer is not working. (After assigning Doctor Maintenance on Nov 4th, it is 15 days.

Essex Appliance Repair FAQ
My dishwasher won't drain. Is that a repair you do in Essex?
Our techs fix dishwashers that won't drain in Essex kitchens on weekdays, and the fault sits either in the machine or in the drain line under your sink. Most Essex homes went up in the middle of the last century, before dishwashers came standard, so yours was probably added later with its hose run into the sink drain or a disposal. The tech works through the filter, the pump with its check valve, and that hose for a kink or a sag. If a disposal went in not long ago, the knockout plug inside its inlet may never have been taken out. The $100 visit pays for the diagnosis, and you agree to the repair price first.
Do you handle oven repair in Essex for both gas and electric ranges?
Oven repair in Essex covers gas and electric ranges, wall ovens and cooktops, fixed where the range stands, whether the house is in the 1909 blocks off Mace Avenue or on a mid-century street near Eastern Boulevard. Besides heating trouble, two other faults turn up on ranges. A door that stays locked after a self-clean cycle points to the lock motor or its switch. A gas burner that keeps clicking usually has a damp or dirty igniter, or a burner cap sitting off-center. Our factory certification covers GE and LG.
Can a washing machine be repaired at my house in Essex?
A washing machine in an Essex house is repaired right where it stands, by a tech who drives over from Dundalk, and washer repair is priced flat like everything else. A washer that shakes and walks across the floor during the spin is often just out of level, and leveling it is the kind of small fix that ends the visit at $100 total. One that won't drain or won't spin needs its pump, its lid or door lock, or its drive parts looked at. Samsung, Whirlpool and Maytag washers are all covered, and LG washers get a tech with factory certification for the brand.
Is there free appliance repair in Essex?
Every Doctor Maintenance visit in Essex costs $100, so appliance repair here isn't free, and that fee includes the full diagnosis. If we find nothing wrong, you get your $100 back. If the fix is small enough to finish then and there, the $100 is the whole bill. Using a part on hand, a repair costs $225 all in, one set figure and far less than a new appliance. When the part needs a special order, the office works out the exact price and sends it to you, and nothing is booked until you say yes.
Does your service reach every part of Essex?
Doctor Maintenance's weekday service area reaches across Essex, MD, from the Back River side of the peninsula to the Middle River side. That takes in the first ten blocks between Mace Avenue and Marlyn Avenue, the streets off Eastern Boulevard and the houses around CCBC Essex. Appointments run on weekdays from 9am to 5pm, and one is often free within 48 hours. Our online booking page accepts requests at any hour, and a call or text to (443) 678-8144 works on any weekday.
Why is my ice maker making small cubes, or none at all?
An ice maker that makes small cubes or none is usually short on water, and in an older house in Essex the supply line is one of the first things to check. Most Essex houses were built before refrigerator ice makers were common, so the line feeding yours was added later, sometimes through a saddle valve clamped onto a copper pipe, and those can clog or end up partly closed. A clogged fridge water filter, a failing fill valve or a freezer running too warm can do the same. The tech follows the problem from the shutoff to the ice maker, since a broken ice maker and a starved one look the same from the outside.
