A recent customer whose Whirlpool dryer wasn't spinning says it turned out to be a broken belt, repaired the same day for $189. On a dishwasher problem, a recent customer says Harrity came the same day and that the service tech, Dave, fixed it quickly at a reasonable cost. A 2024 customer said of an LG fridge with a freezer-fan defrost problem: "He fixed our fridge on the first try, at a very fair price, and in a very timely manner." A 2024 customer with a GE refrigerator ice machine covered by a New Leaf warranty said Dave evaluated and completed the repair, and that Harrity offered to finish it the same day the part came in. A 2023 customer said Chip came promptly to a dryer with no heat and diagnosed and repaired it. In a 2022 review, a customer said Harrity booked an appointment a few days after the call and repaired a broken oven igniter, after calls to Whirlpool and other repair companies had not worked out. A 2026 customer said they called 9 times starting 12/12/2025 about reimbursement for a part ordered through Harrity and, as of 2/24/2026, had no clear timeline for the refund. A 2025 customer said the technician did not diagnose the problem with an 11-year-old KitchenAid refrigerator and became angry. That 2025 customer also said paying the fee by debit card meant a 3% surcharge, and that a refund request got no response. A 2024 customer said Harrity did not call back as promised about an LG washing machine, then said the install would take 3 hours and they didn't have time for it. A 2022 customer wrote that the service charge was $95 just to look and $100 an hour to fix, and that the tech misdiagnosed a dryer so another part had to be ordered. A 2022 customer called the service call charge a bit steep and advised asking about rates before agreeing to have them come out. Harrity holds an A+ grade with the BBB and a 4.4-star Google rating from 51 ratings. **Strengths:** - Same-day dryer repair — a recent customer's broken belt was fixed for $189 - Same-day dishwasher visit — a recent customer says Dave fixed it quickly - An LG fridge fix — a 2024 customer said it was fixed first try **Concerns:** - A refund delay — a 2026 customer called 9 times about reimbursement - A missed diagnosis — a 2025 customer said a fridge problem went undiagnosed - A washer repair declined — a 2024 customer was told there was no time - Service-call rates — a 2022 customer cited $95 to look, $100 an hour ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - A recent customer's Whirlpool dryer with a broken belt was repaired the same day for $189 _(confidence: high)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT2xsVGFHaHhTblZHWVVVd2JsWTVNR2RtYjFsMk1WRRAB!2m1!1s0x0:0xa7170ba06c8c3e5e!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOllTaGhxSnVGYUUwblY5MGdmb1l2MVE%7C%7C?hl=en-US) — “5★ service!
