Early Sunday Morning? No Problem.

When your air conditioning stops working, it doesn't always happen Monday through Friday.

Early Sunday morning, we responded to one of our repeat customers whose attic-mounted air handler had suffered a failed blower motor. After diagnosing the problem, we were able to source an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) replacement motor, ensuring the customer received the best possible fit, reliability, and long-term value for their system.

Repairs like this often require working in challenging spaces, and attic-mounted equipment is no exception. Whether a repair requires working in a hot attic, a crawl space, or anywhere in between, our commitment remains the same: providing professional repairs that homeowners can rely on.

One thing we're especially grateful for is earning our customers' trust. This homeowner has called Fortes Home Services for multiple repairs over the years, and we're honored they continue to choose us whenever they need help. There is no greater compliment than a customer who comes back because they know they'll receive honest recommendations, quality workmanship, and dependable service.

Many of our customers become long-term customers, and that's something we never take for granted. Every opportunity to return to a customer's home is a reminder that trust is earned through professionalism, quality workmanship, and doing the job right the first time. Thank you to all of our customers who continue to place their confidence in Fortes Home Services.

If your air conditioner isn't keeping up or has stopped working altogether, we're here to help.

Washer leaking? Dryer taking multiple cycles to dry? This customer was dealing with both. 👨‍🔧

Another successful washer & dryer repair completed for a repeat customer!

The customer contacted us because their dryer was taking multiple cycles to fully dry clothing, while the front load washer was leaking and banging excessively during the spin cycle.

After scheduling them right away for a diagnostic appointment, we identified multiple issues between both appliances:

✔️ Washer door boot had a major tear nearly around the entire circumference, causing the leak
✔️ Washer tub dampeners were heavily worn and no longer properly stabilizing the drum during wash and spin cycles
✔️ Dryer heating element had failed, preventing the unit from heating correctly

We quickly sourced all required OE parts, provided the customer with an accurate quote, and received immediate approval to move forward with repairs.

Within 24 hours, all parts were retrieved and both appliances were fully repaired and back in operation. While these were time-consuming repairs, we worked through the logistics to get everything completed as quickly and efficiently as possible for the customer.

If your washer or dryer is giving you problems, contact Fortes Home Services to see how we can help!

Not all appliance parts are meant to last forever… and that’s by design

Dryers have several “wear components” that are built to take the abuse so more expensive parts don’t have to. One of the most common we see are bearing slides. They’re small, inexpensive, and easy to overlook, but they play a big role in supporting the drum as it spins.

When those slides wear down, it can lead to metal-on-metal contact, loud scraping noises, and eventually damage to the drum, front bearing, or even the motor. What could have been a simple maintenance replacement can quickly turn into a much bigger repair.

Catching these early can save you money and extend the life of your dryer.

We always check wear items like bearing slides, rollers, and belts during our service calls to make sure your machine stays in good shape and small issues don’t turn into major ones.

We also stock many common dryer wear components right in our warehouse, so we can get parts out for next day delivery or have what we need on hand to complete repairs quickly.

If your dryer is getting noisy or hasn’t been checked in a while, it might be time to take a look before the damage adds up.

Duct tape can fix a lot of things… but an ice bin?

We recently helped a customer with a Kenmore (Whirlpool-built) refrigerator whose ice bin had seen better days. Multiple cracks had been “repaired” with duct tape over time, but let’s just say the tape finally waved the white flag and started peeling off.

Not only can cracked ice bins leak and make a mess, but they can also affect how your ice maker works overall. The good news is this was a quick and clean fix with a brand new replacement bin, and now it’s back to making and storing ice like it should.

We stock a wide variety of ice bins right in our warehouse, so in many cases we can repair it the same day or ship the part out the same day for DIYers who want to handle the install themselves.

If your ice bin is cracked, leaking, or being held together by hopes and duct tape, give us a call, we’ve got you covered.

This one was leaking pretty badly under the sink.

On a closer look, you can see the corrosion on the housing. Over time, moisture and food waste break these units down from the inside out.

Garbage disposals take a lot of abuse over the years, and eventually they start to fail.

Here are a few common issues we see:

• Leaks from worn out seals
• Rust and corrosion eating through the body
• Humming but not spinning
• Constant clogging or jamming
• Motor failure

Most disposals last around 8–12 years depending on use. If yours is around that age and you’re noticing water under the sink, loud noises, or performance issues, it’s a good idea to have it looked at before it causes cabinet damage.

At Fortes Home Services, we’ll let you know whether it makes sense to repair it or replace it. If replacement is the better option, we’ll install it properly and make sure everything is sealed, secure, and working the way it should.
