Able Appliance Service

Don’t even bother. You’ll grow very old waiting for Wade of Able Appliance, and after wasting your valuable time, you’ll still need to find someone else to call. Save yourself a lot of time and frustration and just call Woo’s Electric & Appliance. That’s who I ended up calling after waiting 7 days for Wade. Woo’s called me back the same day and scheduled me the very next day. Did a great job too. And they fixed my dryer for less than Wade would have charged.

Able Appliance fixed our clothes dryer and broken refrigerator crisper. Did it quick and price was very reasonable.
REcommendation: Due to the numerous phone calls, he should hire someone to take messages. It is sometimes difficult to get in touch.

Are you freaking kidding me! In an industry where its common to get a week or more waiting time before they can book you and your fridge is seeping all kinds of melting products. Wade scheduled us for the next day. He not only fixed our Evaporator Fan and got my Electrolux Side by Side running in minutes, he had time to fix my Kitchen Aid Dish Washer that was out of service for a year, that I never got around to fixing.
Anyway, Price was more than fair, time was incredibly efficient. I’m a freaking Happy Camper. I made sure to grab a couple of cards and fridge magnets to use again.
At the risk of letting you all know, so I can wait the next time I need an appliance repairman, but Wade certainly deserves the Kudo’s for being a professional thats so desperately needed in a time of crisis. Going without a Frdige and Freezer is really a crisis, in our home anyway.
You da Man Wade… Mahalos

I was really excited when I found Able Appliance on Unilocal.My fridge stopped working, and I was desperate for someone to repair it. After reading glowing reviews from fellow Unilocalers, I called Wade immediately to schedule an appointment. Sadly, I didn’t reach him, so I left a message thinking that maybe he’s just busy. No call the next day, so I called again. Again no answer, so I left a second message. Sadly several days have passed and to this day no call back. I’ve had to turn to someone else and luckily they answered their phone and were able to work with me.
It’s really disappointing as Able Appliance had such rave reviews, but I was in that bunch of potential customers who didn’t receive any contact.

Recently my washing machine broke for the second time within the past year. Instead of calling the same repair person, I decided to give Able Appliance a try based on their Unilocal reviews. I called after hours and Wade picked up. Scheduling was easy. He showed up within the time frame that I was given.
He quickly diagnosed the problem and recommended a fix. Within an hour he was out of here. Based on my experience with his service, I would recommend and repeat.
Rates $ 110/​hour
Service call $ 65

I called Wade after seeing all of his positive reviews on Unilocal.He’s true to his reviews. Thank you Wade for fixing my ice maker and water line to my KitchenAid side by side fridge/​freezer. We had thought we needed to get rid of it but Wade fixed it and this allowed us more time to find the new refrigerator we would like to get for our next fridge. He was able to diagnose my problem with my dryer over the phone too. He’s friendly, honest, and came on time to our appt. That itself is priceless! He also follows up with a phone call to make sure everything is in working order. I’ll be sure to use him again for future repairs and refer him to friends and family.

Can you say honest?
Can you say friendly?
Can you say helpful?
Can you say honest again because this guy is and it’s rare in the world and he should be rewarded with as much good business he can get?
Keep killin them with kindness sir. You deserve every good thing you get.

Wade from Able Appliances to the rescue!
I recently purchased an apartment that came with an old Kenmore refrigerator. During the home inspection they noticed a few things that needed to be fixed and the sellers hired Gima’s Appliance to fix the fridge. After getting the keys to the apartment I opened the refrigerator and noticed it wasn’t cold. I called Gimas and asked if they could come out to take a look at the problem to see if it was related to the work they had done. They told me that if the problem was related there would be no charge but if the problem was unrelated there would be a $ 80 minimum charge to come out. How would they know if the problem was related or unrelated without looking at it in the first place… The receptionist was rude. So I hung up the phone and immediately went through Unilocal to find a better repair technician and I found Wade!
Thank goodness for him! Wade was able to figure out that it was a defrost problem just by my description over the phone. He was able to fix my refrigerator right away and was very knowledgeable, friendly and timely. I even gave him the keys to the apartment and asked him to lock up with no problem! All around great service. I would definitely recommend him!
Thank you Wade! :)

Once again! My side by side fridge was warm and I called Wade the owner. Wade asked, «Is there ice on the back of the freezer?» I looked, and sure enough there was ice. Wade said I needed some sort of part and said he’d be over at Noon. He was at my home early and the fridge was up and running soon thereafter. Personable, prompt and fair prices! Mention Unilocal and get a discount.

Wade is awesome, a true professional. I live all the way in Kapolei and he didn’t mind making the long journey twice. The first time he came out he fixed my icemaker and my icebox was leaking water. Well the icemaker stop working a week later because the new icemaker part was faulty and he changed it no questions ask. He also followed up with me a week later to make sure everything was doing ok. He charged way under what any other company would have charged me. 5 star service for a 2 star price. I would highly recommend him to my family and friends. I don’t like to write many reviews but I wanted to recognize Wade for excellent work and customer service. I’m 110% happy customer and will definitely be calling him again in the future. Thank you Wade…

I called Wade this afternoon because my dryer stopped working. He was at my house within a couple of hours. Not only did he repair my dryer, but he realized the gears on my washer were not working properly. He fixed both machines very quickly — and reasonably. I will definitely call him again!!!

Wade the owner responded quickly and instead of charging me for a new part for my washer he was able to take apart and repair old part which was substantially cost saving! since old Pump was really fine. Very Honest and Trustworthy. RECOMMENDED!

I don’t know why my earlier review of this business never got published. It was about a year ago! Got an email saying that I should finish my review. Oh well, here’s the point: the guy who runs the business is excellent. I’m cynical and there are a lot of people who are lousy at what they do. My experience is that he is prompt and good. I’ve asked him to do about 3 or 4 different jobs for me and he’s always done a good job. I would not hesitate to call him again when I need his help. I’m sorry to hear that other people had bad experiences but all I can report is what’s happened with me.

Wade is great. I used him twice in couple of months as first my «vintage» dryer needed some TLC for bunch of racket it was making. That experience was so positive– prompt appointment, reasonable priced and felt I can trust him-​which truly is priceless. When my washer felt jealous of the attention my dryer received I called Wade again. He will continue to be my go-​to appliance guy

I’ve called and left a couple voice message for Wade BUT no call backs … perhaps he is off island or experiencing a family emergency? Would be helpful if he left a informative message on his phone or had someone return inquiry calls.
Anyway, called Budget and they are here now …
crossing fingers !

Wade definitely lived up to all of his 5-​star ratings!
I had no problems getting in touch with him and getting an appointment within 2 days. He was running a little late for our appointment window, but made a courtesy call to let me know an hour in advance, and then another to let me know he was leaving his appointment, so that I could time it just right to meet him (I had to duck out of work to meet him).

He diagnosed/​repaired my washer problem efficiently and even cleaned out all of the lint and debris build-​up, to avoid future problems. He was extremely thorough, double– and triple-​checking the washer to make sure his work was complete before leaving.
I’m pretty sure my washer will be a good for a whole lot longer, but if not, I’m definitely calling Wade back!

Now I understand why Wade is such highly rated.
My review will probably be similar the other ones. Wade is a very honest guy easy to talk to and very professional.
My refrigerator wasn’t cooling anymore and Wade found the problem in less than 5 min. Indeed, it was minor but he took the time to look at everything to make sure that the problem wasn’t caused by anything else somewhere else inside it.
He gave me a clear explanation that somebody that doesn’t anything about refrigerator like me could easily understand.
He fixed the problem and only charged me for labor since their was no part to replace and even gave me a 90 days warranty on the labor in case the problem wouldn’t be fixed in the next few days which I don’t think so.
He’s price is very reasonable, he even took a look at my dishwasher because I mentioned a little problem on it He gave a diagnostic with no extra charge.
The only problem I could find with him was just to get an appointment with him. He is so busy that it was a little hard to get a hold of him (called a few times, don’t give up and persevere) to get the appointment.
But as soon as he came I understood why he’s so busy. Very good service, very good guy and like I’ve red in other reviews he makes sure that the job has been done correctly 100%
I would highly recommend his company
Thank you very much Able Appliance Service you made another loyal customer.

It’s been over a year since my Maytag refrigerator had been fixed. I can’t remembered the exact day it was serviced but so far my refrigerator has been running cold and great.
I had no difficulties speaking with Wade and setting up an appointment. I told him that my refrigerator had problems staying cold while the freezer was making snow. I have tried to make the repairs myself by replacing the thermostat sensor and main control board. Temperatures in the fridge were about 45 degrees Fahrenheit, the optimal living space for bacteria growth.
When I made the appointment, Wade showed up on time. I showed him our refrigerator and told him what have happened. He was able to identify the real culprit of the problem which was a failing fan motor. He informed me that the fan wasn’t pushing enough air to equalized the circulation between the fridge and freezer. He also mentioned how refrigerators of today are made with cheaper parts which is why these problems will occur.
The obvious solution would be to replace the fan motor with an OEM model. He offered to install a GE motor instead since they are built to last. I trusted his suggestion and let him do his job.
About 20 minutes later, the fan motor replacement was done. My fridge sounds a lot louder than before but I am very happy that the temperatures are now 39 – 40 degrees Fahrenheit on normal setting. Sometimes I think the fridge is too cold, but it’s much better than harvesting bacteria.
The Maytag fridge was only a year old so it was out of warranty to get it fixed. Talk about great timing. I ended up wasting a lot of money replacing parts that I assumed was broken. When your appliance is in doubt, don’t hesitate to call Wade.
Prices were very reasonable. Don’t forget to mention that you found him on Unilocal

I’ve had Wade from Able Appliance Service come to fix my Sub Zero refrigerator twice now and each time I’ve been completely happy with the service and attention to detail! Our fridge was missing a screw (which was really just cosmetic), and he took the time to fix it… just because. How amazing is that? We all need to take time to fix things… just because it’s the right thing to do.
Wade is really a class act and you can tell that he:
A) Knows his stuff.
B) Genuinely cares.
I dream of business owners like Wade who treat their jobs as their calling.
THANK YOU Wade. I really appreciate all you do!
P. S. Wade if you are reading this, please let me know if you want to go to Bikram Yoga and I will set it up for you! It’s a super wonderful stress reliever and your heart will thank you for it.

Who are you’re gonna call when there’s a problem with your refrigerator that is out of the warranty period? It’s been awhile since I last called an appliance repair company. I remembered how costly it was, as they charged a flat fee upfront just to go to your home + the cost of parts + the cost of labor.
Although my refrigerator-​freezer was still working, I had wanted to have it checked out because of some frosting inside the freezer. I didn’t want to wait until after it conks out, and then I would be frantically trying to save all the stuff before it spoiled.
I checked Unilocal,and there were several appliance repair companies listed. I decided to try Able Appliance Service, as there were a total of 18 great Unilocal reviews (17 were 5 stars, and 1 was 4 stars). I couldn’t have made a better decision.
I called and spoke to its owner, Wade Morein, to schedule an appointment. He asked a lot of questions, such as the make/​model/​serial number of the refrigerator and what was happening so that he could at least pinpoint the problem. I was impressed by this because for most other companies, they won’t ask you all of these questions until they’re at your home (while the charges are ticking away).
An appointment was scheduled the following day between 3pm-​4pm. At about 2:40pm that day, Wade called by phone saying that he was on his way and was promptly at my home at 3pm. He’s a no-​nonsense guy, as he went straight to work at the refrigerator-​freezer. He checked the thermostat and controls to see if they were working properly, as well as the door gaskets to ensure they were sealed shut. He also opened the bottom grille to ensure there was no blockage. He was able to pinpoint the problem — he found some frost build-​up near the inside freezer door which apparently caused a minute opening for outside air to get in. He melted all the frost build-​up in the freezer to ensure that the freezer door would be tightly shut. He also tightened the slightly loose door handles and checked that the door glides were running smoothly. Talking about a total servicing for a refrigerator-​freezer! Wade provided a guarantee on his workmanship, and encouraged to me to call him if I had any questions or problems. His charges were very reasonable.
Not only is Wade knowledgeable in this field, he is an honest person. The refrigerator had a control touchpad temperature control box with different options for making more ice and the ability to manually adjust the temperatures higher or lower. However, it was inoperable and had defaulted to the factory setting temperature controls, but did not compromise the refrigerator’s efficiency. He provided me with information as to the cost of this part, and recommended that if it was not bothering me, he would just leave it as is. I saved some $$ right then and there, whereas other companies would have automatically changed it.
Not only could I trust Wade, but he is very knowledgeable, genuine, polite, and professional in his demeanor. Despite his busy schedule, his personal attention to my problem shows that he has a high regard for customer satisfaction. He really has a positive attitude and enjoys his job, and I could tell that he strives to make his customers happy. He truly has the «aloha spirit.»
Prior to moving to Oahu, Wade was an Appliance Repair Technician for the Southern California Gas Company for 10 years. On Oahu, he has been repairing appliances for the past 10 years and started his company in Dec. 2011. He services all of Oahu and does repair work for refrigerators, freezers, ice makers, washers, dryers, ranges, cook tops/​ovens, dishwashers, disposals, and water heaters. He noted that for refrigerator «sealed system work» (involving the compressor, condenser, and evaporator), he farms out that work to a cohort; typically, the repair work and replacement parts for this are very costly and generally, it’s better to replace the refrigerator instead of repairing it.
Don’t forget to mention Unilocal,as he offers a Unilocal discount of $ 20; he also has discounts for seniors, military, and the clergy (discounts are not combinable). He also accepts credit cards. His charges will vary depending on the work and parts to be replaced, and are very reasonable.
I’ve now found my repair person for my major appliances. I’ve also found a professional who I can call to get a recommendation if I need to buy a certain brand of major appliance. Able Appliance Service is really «able» to do the job. I need to thank Unilocal for that.
