Terms of Service
Effective Date: May 23, 2026
Welcome to Appliances Fix Co. We built this site to cut through the noise of appliance repair. We write guides. We test tools. We tear down broken machines. By reading our content, using our troubleshooting steps, or clicking our links, you agree to the rules below. Read them carefully. If you don’t agree with how we operate, close the tab.
1. Educational Purpose and Safety Disclaimer
Appliance repair involves high voltage, pressurized water lines, and heavy components. We publish troubleshooting guides and repair strategies based on our hands-on field experience. We don’t know your specific skill level. We can’t see the frayed wire behind your dryer. You assume all risk when you pick up a screwdriver.
High voltage. Sharp metal. Real consequences.
Our content serves as educational material. It does not replace a licensed technician standing in your kitchen. We guarantee our guides reflect our actual teardowns and testing. We absolutely do not guarantee that following them will fix your specific machine. You take full responsibility for your safety, your property, and your appliances.
Modern appliances hold lethal electrical charges even when unplugged. Capacitors store energy. If you don’t know how to discharge a capacitor safely, you have no business opening a microwave cabinet. We provide the information. You make the final call on your own competence.
2. Intellectual Property
We spend hours diagnosing faulty defrost timers and documenting the process. We write the text. We shoot the photos. We draw the wiring diagrams. All content on appliancesfixco.com belongs entirely to us.
You can share our links. You can quote a few sentences for context in a forum. You can’t scrape our site, copy our step-by-step guides, or republish our images without explicit written permission. We protect our work aggressively. We issue immediate takedown notices for stolen content.
If you run a competing repair blog, do your own teardowns. Do not steal our bench notes.
3. Affiliate Links and Tool Recommendations
Repairing appliances requires parts. Sometimes it requires new tools. We recommend specific OEM components, multimeters, and socket sets throughout our guides. We link to places where you can buy them.
Some of these are affiliate links. That means we earn a small commission if you purchase through our link. This costs you nothing extra. We only recommend parts we actually install in machines. We reject cheap aftermarket knockoffs.
We don’t let brands pay us for positive reviews. Our recommendations stem strictly from bench testing and field experience. If a highly rated replacement pump fails after three months, we update the guide and tell you to avoid it.
4. Accuracy of Information
Appliance manufacturers constantly revise their designs. They discontinue old part numbers. They issue silent service bulletins. We update our guides regularly to reflect the current reality of the repair industry.
We can’t guarantee every single part number listed on this site remains perfectly accurate forever. Always verify your specific model number before ordering a component. A single digit off means the wrong control board arrives at your door.
Trust our troubleshooting logic. Verify your specific part numbers independently.
5. Third-Party Service Providers
We write guides on how to hire reliable local repair technicians. We tell you exactly what red flags to watch for during an estimate. We don’t employ these local technicians. We don’t vet the person who shows up at your door.
If you hire a contractor based on our hiring advice, that contract exists strictly between you and the technician. We hold zero responsibility for their workmanship, their billing practices, or their timeliness. We give you the criteria to make a smart choice. You sign the work order.
6. Limitation of Liability
You make the final call on your repairs. Appliances Fix Co, its owners, and its writers hold zero liability for damages, injuries, or financial losses resulting from your use of this website.
If you misread a schematic and fry a $400 main control board, that falls on you. If you flood your laundry room because a water inlet valve wasn’t seated correctly, we don’t cover the damage. We provide the roadmap. You drive the car.
Attempting a DIY repair often voids manufacturer warranties. If your refrigerator is still under a factory warranty, call the manufacturer. If you crack the sealed system trying to fix it yourself, you will pay out of pocket for a replacement.
7. User Comments and Community Standards
We allow comments on our troubleshooting guides. We want to hear about your repair wins. We want to know if a manufacturer changed a part number on a specific washing machine model.
Keep your comments relevant. Keep them accurate. We delete spam immediately. We delete dangerous advice without warning.
If you tell someone to bypass a thermal fuse, we will ban you from the site permanently. Bypassing safety devices burns houses down. We don’t tolerate it.
8. Governing Law
These terms operate strictly under the laws of the United States. Any legal disputes regarding this website will be handled in our local jurisdiction. We prefer fixing washing machines over talking to lawyers. Let’s keep it that way.
9. Changes to These Terms
The appliance industry changes rapidly. We update our policies to match new realities. We will revise these terms when necessary. We will post the updated version directly on this page.
Your continued use of the site means you accept the new rules. Check back here periodically if you want to stay informed about our legal parameters.
10. Contact Information
Questions about these terms belong in our inbox. Email us at [email protected]. A real human reads that inbox. We typically reply within two business days.
Do not email this address asking for free diagnostic help for your broken dishwasher. We reserve that inbox strictly for legal and administrative inquiries.
