Appliance repair in Midlothian
Mostly single-family homes built from the 1950s through the 70s. Call and we’ll connect you with a technician who covers 60445.
Midlothian’s homes were built fairly evenly across three decades: roughly a fifth each in the 1950s, 60s and 70s. Three-quarters are single-family houses. A house from any of those decades has probably been through two or three generations of appliances, and the connections behind them are often older than the machines.
Behind the appliance
When a technician pulls out a range, dryer or refrigerator in an older house, a few things are worth checking at the same time, because the appliance is already out of the way:
- Gas connectors on ranges and dryers. Older uncoated brass connectors are a known hazard and should be replaced by someone qualified for gas work.
- Refrigerator water lines. Thin plastic tubing becomes brittle; braided lines are sturdier.
- Dryer transition duct. Foil or vinyl accordion duct should be replaced with metal.
- The outlet. A loose or scorched receptacle behind a range or dryer is an electrician’s job.
Water and disposal
The village receives Lake Michigan water from Chicago through direct lines installed in 1970 (village page), so hardness matches Chicago’s, about 7.6 to 8.8 grains per gallon.
Republic Services collects refuse on Tuesdays, and the village allows one large item per household per week (village page). Call Republic at (708) 385-8252 to confirm how it handles refrigerators and other appliances before setting one out.
