Maytag repair in Lighthouse Point
Canal-front houses, many with a dock and an outdoor kitchen behind the seawall. Anything installed outdoors here takes the heat and the salt together.
We cover Lighthouse Point and the rest of Broward: an on-site diagnostic first, the price agreed in writing before anything is opened, and the exact figure confirmed once we have seen the unit.

What we repair in Lighthouse Point, by Maytag unit
Start with whichever matches yours. How an appliance is installed shapes the visit as much as the repair does, which is why we ask about it when you book.

Under-cabinet and wall-mount · ducted or recirculating Maytag range hood repair in Lighthouse Point
The smallest branch in this catalog — 43 pages and three numbered conditions — and the appliance most likely to be the microwave above the range rather than a hood at all. On this make the over-the-range microwave carries the ventilation for most kitchens, so a hood call here begins by establishing which appliance is actually over the cooktop. Where there is a dedicated hood, the failures are ordinary and mostly mechanical: the fan motor, the switch, the light, the damper and the duct behind it.
- Wall-mount and under-cabinet hoods, ducted and recirculating
- 43 pages and three published conditions — the least documented appliance here
- On most Maytag kitchens the over-the-range microwave IS the hood

The ice maker inside the refrigerator — in the door or in the freezer Maytag ice maker repair in Lighthouse Point
Maytag builds no ice machine of its own, and this page is honest about that instead of describing a sister brand's product. Every one of the 120 ice pages in the maker's base is filed under a refrigerator, beneath headings it calls Ice and Water Concerns and Ice Production, and not one of them carries a number. So there is nothing here to read off a panel. What there is, in a city that gets through ice the way this one does, is a module that spends August at the edge of what it was specified to do — and a short list of reasons it falls off that edge, most of which are about the supply rather than the module.
- The refrigerator's own ice maker, in the door or in the freezer compartment
- No ice machine under this badge, and no published codes for ice at all
- The usual answer is upstream of the module: filter, line, valve, pressure
-
Upright · chest · convertible chest Maytag freezer repair in Lighthouse Point
184 pages in the maker's base and **not one numbered code** — upright, chest and convertible chest alike. A freezer under this badge is a deliberately simple machine and it is diagnosed the way simple machines are: by temperature, by airflow, by the seal, and by where it stands. That last one matters more here than anywhere. Most of the freezers we open in South Florida are in a garage or a utility room that reaches a hundred degrees by afternoon, and an ordinary cabinet asked to hold zero in that ambient is working far outside what its specification assumed. Garage-ready is a specification with a number behind it, not a slogan.
- Upright, chest and convertible chest freezers
- No published codes at all — 184 pages of plain guidance
- Where it stands is half the diagnosis: a hot garage is a different machine
-
French door · side-by-side · top freezer Maytag refrigerator repair in Lighthouse Point
Five hundred and nine pages in the maker's own base, and twenty-six of them numbered. Hold those two figures next to the seventy-five percent of wall-oven pages that carry a code and you have the whole character of this make in one comparison. Cold is where it stops explaining itself: seventeen numbered pages behind the French door cabinet, nine behind side-by-side, and on the top-freezer cabinet — eighty-four pages of guidance — not one. A visit here is therefore an hour with instruments rather than ten minutes with a panel, and that is worth knowing before you book. There is no quad-door cabinet and no all-refrigerator under this badge; both belong to a sister brand.
- French door, side-by-side and top-freezer cabinets
- Seventeen numbered pages on French door, nine on side-by-side, none on top freezer
- Instruments rather than a panel: this half of the catalog explains very little
-
Front control and top control · stainless and plastic tubs Maytag dishwasher repair in Lighthouse Point
296 pages with 42 numbered conditions, and a code branch of its own — 38 of those 42 sit under a single heading the make calls Error Code or Flashing Lights. That last phrase is the useful part: on a machine with no digital display the diagnosis is a pattern of blinking lights, and the pattern is the whole message. It disappears the moment the power is cut, which is why we ask what the lights were doing before anybody reached for the breaker.
- Front-control and top-control machines, stainless and plastic tubs
- 42 code pages, 38 of them under one Error Code or Flashing Lights heading
- On a machine with no display, the blinking pattern IS the code
-
Over-the-range and countertop · no built-in in this catalog Maytag microwave repair in Lighthouse Point
235 pages and 76 code pages, and they are not spread evenly: 67 of them belong to the over-the-range machine and 9 to the countertop one. That matches what these appliances actually are. An over-the-range microwave is also the kitchen's hood — it carries a fan, a damper, a light and a duct — so it fails in ways a countertop machine cannot, and this make documents it accordingly. There is no built-in microwave in this catalog: that branch belongs to a sister brand, and on that sister's own base every page of it now answers 404.
- Over-the-range machines, which are also the hood, and countertop machines
- 67 code pages on over-the-range, 9 on countertop
- No built-in microwave under this badge

The repairs we are called out for in Lighthouse Point
Starting figures for this equipment in South Florida. What moves them is the model, the access and the part — the exact cost is confirmed after the on-site diagnostic.
-
from $145 Refrigerator not cooling repair
A cabinet that runs and will not hold its number. On most makes the first move is to read the panel; here there is usually nothing on it, because this maker publishes twenty-six numbered conditions across five hundred refrigeration pages and none at all for a top-freezer cabinet. So this is an hour with instruments and a fixed order — the free causes, then the air, then the gauges — and it is why the first visit is longer here than on the cooking side of the same kitchen.
- Instruments rather than a code lookup: this half of the make explains very little
- The free causes come first, and they close more of these calls than any part
- Refrigerant work is quoted only after gauges, and never on a warm-side-only complaint
-
from $175 Washer drain pump replacement
The commonest laundry repair on this make, and one of the cheapest parts behind one of the longer jobs. A machine that stops mid-cycle with a drum of water is usually reporting the pump, the filter in front of it or the hose behind it, and this maker publishes more numbered conditions for washers than for anything else it builds — so there is often something on the panel worth photographing before the power is cut.
- Photograph the panel first: this is the make's most documented appliance
- Filter and hose before the pump — and the coin that got there first
- The standpipe and the sink beside it are checked, because both can defeat the machine
-
from $185 Commercial dryer service
The commercial-grade laundry dryer, which is a duty-cycle machine rather than a domestic one with a coin box bolted on. This maker publishes seventy-three pages for it and thirty-nine numbered conditions, so it usually says what has stopped — and in a building laundry that matters, because the machine is earning while it runs and costing while it does not.
- A duty-cycle machine with its own published codes — 39 of them
- Scheduled against downtime, not against a convenient window
- The room is assessed as well: drainage, ventilation and level
-
from $159 Commercial appliance repair
This make's commercial line is laundry, and that is what this covers: coin and card washers and dryers in condominium laundry rooms, small buildings, salons and gyms across South Florida. They are not domestic machines with a different badge. They run to a duty cycle, they are opened more often, and their downtime costs somebody money by the hour — so they are scheduled against that rather than against a convenient window.
- Coin and card laundry, which is what this maker's commercial line is
- 142 pages of its own in the maker's base, 39 of them published codes on the dryer
- Scheduled against downtime rather than against a convenient window
-
from $175 Dishwasher drying and heat repair
Dishes that come out wet on a machine that washes perfectly well. On this make the drying and the washing are separate systems, so a machine that cleans and does not dry is telling you which half to look at. Rinse aid is the free version and it is checked first; after that it is the heating circuit and the thermostat, and the difference between them is a fraction of the cost.
- Rinse aid and load pattern before any part is named
- Drying and washing are separate systems: one working proves the other's supply
- Plastics drying last is normal on any residual-heat machine
-
from $185 Dryer drum belt and roller repair
A drum that will not turn, or turns with a rumble that gets worse every week. Belt, idler, rollers and glides go in together on most cabinets because the strip-down is the job and the parts are inexpensive — coming back in a year for the roller that was left in is the expensive version. On the older machines this badge is known for, the rumble has usually been there long enough that the owner has stopped hearing it.
- Belt, idler, rollers and glides together, because the strip-down is the job
- A rumble that worsens weekly is rollers, not the motor
- The drum seals are replaced while the machine is open

Before you book
Questions about a visit in Lighthouse Point
Do you cover Lighthouse Point?
Yes. Lighthouse Point is in Broward County and inside the area we work every week. Give us the address when you book, and say how the Maytag is installed — what has to come apart to reach it matters as much as where it is.
How soon can you get to Lighthouse Point?
We will tell you the earliest slot we can genuinely keep rather than the earliest one that sounds good. Tell us the model number and what the unit is doing when you book: whether we can finish the same day depends on the part far more than on the drive.
Does it cost more because the job is in Lighthouse Point?
No. The diagnostic and the work are priced the same across Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach. What moves the figure is the model, how the unit is built in and which part it needs — never the address. Where access takes longer, we say so before anything is agreed rather than after.
Does being this close to the water shorten the life of a unit?
It shortens the life of the condenser and the fan motors, which is not the same thing. Salt corrodes them years ahead of the schedule written for a dry climate, and a condenser that cannot shed heat makes the compressor work longer for the same result. Cleaning here is seasonal rather than annual.
