If Your Appliance Has a Name on It,
We've Probably Fixed One.
74 years in the appliance repair business means we've worked on virtually every brand ever sold in Monroe County — including models most companies have never seen. Call us before assuming yours can't be fixed.
We've Seen Every Brand Through Every Era
Appliance brands change over time. GE of 1985 is different from GE of 2015. Whirlpool's early front-loader designs had known issues that later models fixed. Maytag dryers have a specific failure pattern that shows up around the 8-year mark.
You only know this if you've been repairing these appliances for decades — not just reading about them. Nick's has been in Monroe County since 1950, which means we've seen every major brand through every phase of its engineering history.
"We don't just look up the model number. We know the model — because we've seen it break before."
GE, Frigidaire, Kelvinator — we serviced these brands when they were new
Maytag, Whirlpool, and Sears Kenmore dominated Monroe County homes
KitchenAid and other premium lines expanded into Monroe County homes
Smart appliances, variable compressors, digital controls — we keep up
Our Most-Repaired Brands
These are the brands we see most often in Monroe County homes — and the ones we know inside and out.
One of the most widely owned brands in Monroe County. GE refrigerators and ovens are extremely repairable — we source parts quickly and have seen virtually every common failure mode across their model history.
Whirlpool also owns Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, and JennAir — so much of what we repair under different names shares Whirlpool engineering. Reliable appliances that are well worth repairing over replacement.
Maytag's reputation for durability is deserved — these appliances are built to be repaired. We've been servicing Maytag in Monroe County for decades. Older Maytag washers and dryers are among the most cost-effective repairs we do.
Kenmore is a Sears house brand built on Whirlpool or Frigidaire platforms — which means we know the underlying engineering well. One of the most common brands in Monroe County homes, and very repairable.
Frigidaire makes solid, practical appliances that are built to last when properly maintained. We service their refrigerators, freezers, and cooking equipment across all current and legacy model lines.
KitchenAid is a Whirlpool brand positioned at the premium tier. Their refrigerators and cooking appliances are very high quality and almost always worth repairing over replacement. We treat KitchenAid appliances with the care they warrant.
Amana is a Whirlpool brand known for straightforward, dependable appliances — especially their top-mount refrigerators and top-load washers. Simple engineering means straightforward repairs and affordable fixes.

Don't See Your Brand? Call Us Anyway.
This list covers the brands we see most often — it's not exhaustive. With 74 years in the business, we've worked on appliances most companies have never heard of. If you have an unusual brand or an older model, give us a call and describe what you have. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help.

Small Appliances
We'll Tell You If Your Appliance Isn't Worth Fixing
Just because we can service a brand doesn't mean every repair makes financial sense. We built our reputation on honest answers — which sometimes means telling a customer to buy a new appliance instead of paying us for a repair.
Our Repair vs. Replace Decision Guide
Appliance is under 10–12 years old, premium brand (KitchenAid), and repair cost is under 40% of replacement
Appliance is 10–15 years old, mid-range brand, or repair involves a major component like a compressor. We'll walk you through the math.
Appliance is 15+ years old, entry-level brand, and the repair cost approaches or exceeds 50% of a new unit. No sense throwing money at it.
Whatever Brand It Is — We'll Tell You Honestly What It's Worth
Call Nick's Refrigeration. We'll diagnose it properly, give you a clear estimate, and tell you whether repair makes sense — no pressure, no runaround. Just a straight answer from people who've been doing this since 1950.
