Mike's Appliance Service

Mike's Appliance Service is a one-person appliance repair operation based in Newton, New Hampshire, the kind of outfit homeowners call when an oven quits or a dryer stops mid-cycle. One long-time customer says they've relied on Mike for more than 30 years, and the jobs described in reviews - ovens, dryers - point to a broad in-home appliance repair practice rather than one narrow specialty. Most people who hired him describe the same pattern: he gets to the house within a few days, diagnoses the problem on the spot, and often already has the part needed to finish the repair that same visit. A 2024 reviewer needed an oven fixed and said Mike had the part on hand and was prompt and professional; a 2022 reviewer said a dryer switch was fixed fast at a fair price. Several describe him as reliable and someone who stands behind the work. One 2023 account breaks from that pattern - a customer said the problem could not be diagnosed on the visit and felt pressed to pay a service-call fee by Venmo right away, with no accommodation offered. It's the one dissenting story among an otherwise consistent run of praise, so it's worth asking upfront what a diagnostic visit covers and how payment works before booking. A Birdeye page for the business is the company's own directory listing text rather than an independent customer account, so it doesn't add anything beyond what the Google reviews already show. Call Mike's Appliance Service for oven and dryer repair, and confirm the diagnostic and payment terms before scheduling given the one dissenting review.
