A week ago, our dryer started making a loud banging noise in the middle of a load, then it totally lost power. I tried to do the DIY thing, but a day later after I replaced the parts I THOUGHT were the problem and put everything back together, still no power. I went to the NextDoor app and found quite a few appliance repair businesses, but Home Hero stood out to me because it had outstanding ratings and reviews. I reached out and Derek called me back right away - he came to my house the next day and found the problem in about 15 minutes. He needed a part that was no longer made by the manufacturer, but he was diligent until he found one on EBay. Once he received the part a few days later, he came back immediately and installed it (took about 10 minutes) ... it worked like new! He then went above and beyond and asked if he could run a diagnostic on my washing machine (at no extra charge) to make sure it was up to speed - all was good, then he gave me some tips on how to maintain both machines so they last longer. Derek's service is unbeatable, but even better is his professional demeanor - he returned calls promptly and kept me informed of expectations... he's an expert and you can tell he really enjoys what he does. One more thing: since he's a one-man show, he's very reasonably priced. I'd recommend him to anyone who has any difficulties with their washer and/or dryer...no matter the brand. read more
