Willowbrook sits across the county line in DuPage, near I-55 and Route 66, and it is the only community on this site where single-family houses are a minority. About 42 percent of homes are in buildings with five or more units and another 18 percent in two to four unit buildings; most were built in the 1970s and 80s.

Appliances in that kind of housing are often original to the building or on their second round, and they are frequently compact or stacked.

Condos and townhomes

Before booking, check whether the appliance is yours or the association’s, and whether building rules require the technician to register with management or use a service elevator. Knowing the answer saves a wasted trip.

Leaks matter more in stacked housing. A dishwasher or washer leak in an upper unit can reach the neighbor below within hours, so shut off the supply valve as soon as you see water and call.

DuPage water

Willowbrook buys 100 percent Lake Michigan water from the DuPage Water Commission, which reports it at about 8 grains per gallon of hardness (DuPage Water Commission). That is moderately hard: rinse aid in the dishwasher and on-time refrigerator filter changes make a noticeable difference.

Disposal

The village hauler, Groot, takes appliances such as refrigerators, washers, dryers, dishwashers and water heaters for a per-item fee. Call Groot at (708) 485-0900 to schedule. In condo buildings, check with management first; some arrange bulk pickup for the building.

My condo dishwasher leaked into the unit below. What now?
