The best best refrigerator repair guy
 
No one knows refrigerators like Jerry Thibodeau, 1-346-233-7175. Good guy, knowledgable, kind and fair.

I think you must mean Jerry not Jeff. I called Jerry this past week, but the number did not work so maybe he is ?

That is the number I have, would be a shame if he left the business. He is very good.

Darn now we have to find a new repair guy

Before we found Jerry got in touch with Becks and they said it would take up to a week for serviceman to come.

Guess we will look up Bobs.

Beck's has been taken over by Ray, 352-245-3598, but Beck's widow still answers the phone. Bob's is 770-826-3620. Both are good companies.

Thanks, will put their numbers in my pocket for when we need them. Wonder what happened to Jerry?

Very honest guy. The freezer tray that holds our ice cracked. When we asked him to get us the part, he told me the part number and where to buy it and was simple install.

I just had Jeff Rapier, a Villager, come over to repair our microwave. Within five minutes he figured out what was wrong and did the repair. Cell 502-9096518

He is a Villager by way of his parents but he misdiagnosed our refrigerator and "disappeared" effective 10 minutes after he got paid. Same thing happened to several other people.

Beck's (now Ray's) accepts credit cards for payment, which I highly recommend for any contracted work.

We just called Beck’s for a dryer repair, and his widow answered “Dave’s Appliance Repair”, not Ray’s. Unfortunately, he can’t come until Monday (it’s Friday now), and we have wet towels sitting in the dryer. Does anyone have any other recommendations for a repair person who might be available sooner? We called Bob’s, Jerry’s, and Beck’s (Dave’s). The first two are also not available until next week. Our dryer is a GE less than 2 years old. Can’t hurt to ask.

TIA! Debbie

I have 2 other names, but I have never used them.

DeSantis, 352-254-4634
Jim, 352-216-8324

Have you checked to see if the breaker in the electrical panel is tripped?

Thank you! Yes, hubby had to shut off at the breaker because the machine started ringing right after I started it, and wouldn’t stop or shut off with the buttons. It was showing error code 20. One weird thing that we discovered is the dryer was full of moisture when I opened the door to add the towels. It hadn’t been used since last Sunday.

We tried the DeSantis number and it was a recording about car insurance. The number for Jim just made weird beeping sounds.

Sorry, those must be old numbers. I googled DeSantis, and got the following number:

(352) 641-0988

I have heard some good things about them.
