Rapid Appliance Repair fixes refrigerators, ovens, dryers and washers for homes across Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia — with a tech at your door as fast as the same day.
Rapid Appliance Repair was founded with a simple idea: appliance problems shouldn’t leave you waiting around for a week. A fridge dying on a Tuesday or a washer freezing up before guests arrive can’t always wait for a convenient appointment.
Our technicians serve Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia, working on refrigerators, ovens, dryers, and washers. We carry many of the parts commonly needed for appliance repairs, which means we can often check the problem and finish the repair during the first visit itself.
Every technician is covered before they ever step through your door.
Call before early afternoon and there’s usually a slot that same day.
You approve the price before any repair starts — nothing added after.
If the same issue comes back, we come back and make it right.
We keep our focus tight and our trucks stocked, so the appliances that break down most often get fixed fastest — right across DC, Maryland, and Virginia.
Not cooling, leaking, running loud, or icing over, most fridge issues can be taken care of with a handful of common parts we carry on the truck.
Uneven baking, a dead heating element, or won’t hold temperature, can be diagnosed on-site and usually fixed the same day.
Not heating, takes more than two cycles to dry a single load, or won’t tumble at all, this can be an airflow or heating-element issue we clear with same-day dryer repair.
Our techs carry the lid switches and pumps that fix most of the washer problems like, washer stuck mid-cycle, won’t spin, won’t drain, or water leaking onto the floor.
From dishwashers to garbage disposals and beyond — if it plugs in or runs on gas in your kitchen or laundry room, our techs can likely take a look.
The vast majority of calls we get are about everyday things, a fridge that’s lost its chill, an oven that’s cooking unevenly, a dryer that’s running twice as long as it should. This is how we handle each one.
Water pooling underneath or warm spots? Or a compressor that won’t stop cycling? We connect it back to the actual part instead of guessing so the fix holds.
A dish with a dark top and a raw center typically indicates a malfunctioning sensor or element. Before we touch anything, we check the temperature with the dial.
When clothes come out damp, restricted airflow or a worn heating element could be the issue. We check the heating system and the exhaust line to make sure the dryer is heating properly before we call the job done.
Leaking at the base, stopping in the middle of a spin, or refusing to drain can all point to a handful of worn or failed components. We are stocked to fix right away.
Every manufacturer has its own quirks and failure points. Our appliance repair technicians know them brand by brand, and carry the parts that come up most often.
Don’t see your brand on the list? Call us — chances are we service it too.
Nobody plans for an appliance to break. What matters is how quickly it gets sorted, and whether the price you’re quoted is the price you pay.
Call in the morning and there’s usually a technician at your door before dinner, urgent repair jobs get priority.
You get a quote before anything starts. No surprise line items when the invoice shows up.
Every technician is background-checked and covered, across every county we serve.
Whirlpool, LG, Samsung, GE, Bosch, Frigidaire, Maytag & more. We carry common replacement parts right on our trucks for faster repairs.
Most repairs are done in a single visit. If the same issue returns, we are here to help.
7 days a week, 7am to 9pm, no weekend surcharge added to the quote.
No long intake forms and no runaround — just a straightforward path from “it’s broken” to “it’s running again.”
Tell us the appliance and what it’s doing. Most calls take under two minutes to get scheduled.
We pair you with a local technician qualified for your appliance type, with same-day time slots reserved every day for urgent calls.
We find the actual issue on-site and give you a flat price before any repair work begins.
Once you approve, we make the fix and run the appliance through a full cycle before we leave.
No standing around waiting on a parts order, no guessing at what’s wrong. Here’s the shape of a typical visit, from the first knock to the test run.
Different homes, different appliances, but the same handful of issues keep coming up across DC, Maryland, and Virginia. Knowing the pattern helps us fix things faster.
The compressor kicks on like normal, but the temperature keeps climbing. Usually points to a blocked coil, a failing fan, or a seal that’s stopped closing properly.
See refrigerator repairA load that finishes soaked instead of damp is either an off-balance drum or a failed pump. Hard to tell which without a proper look on-site.
See washer repairThe drum turns, the timer counts down, but clothes come out cold and damp. Nine times out of ten it’s a heating element or a thermal fuse that’s tripped.
See dryer repairRecipes that used to work suddenly need extra time, or come out burnt on the outside. The dial says one number; the oven is actually holding another.
See oven repairNo ice, slow ice, or cubes that taste off: usually a water line, a valve, or the ice maker module itself. A quick check tells us which.
See refrigerator repairA puddle after every load is rarely just a loose hose. Worn door seals and cracked pump housings are the usual culprits, and they only get worse left alone.
See washer repairA few precautions in the first few minutes after something goes wrong can prevent a bigger problem, or a safety risk, while you wait for a technician.
A full refrigerator maintains its temperature for several hours, so keep the door closed as much as you can. Put perishables in a group and if possible, add ice packs.
Shut off the hot and cold water valves behind the machine before you do anything else. That stops the leak at the source instead of just mopping up after it.
Turn the dryer off immediately and unplug it if you can do so safely. A burning smell can be a sign of lint buildup or another problem around the heating system.
Don’t try to diagnose it yourself. Turn off the appliance if it’s safe to reach, leave doors and windows open, and step outside before calling your gas utility.
If you ever smell gas, hear electrical arcing, or see smoke — leave the house and call 911 or your utility company first. Call us once the immediate danger has been handled.
Not every breakdown is worth fixing, and we’d rather tell you that upfront than sell you a repair that doesn’t make sense. Here’s how we actually think about it on-site.
Either way, our technician gives you that honest read during the visit — before you approve anything. If it’s not worth fixing, we’ll say so. Get an honest assessment

Most people want to know what a repair involves before the work begins. That’s reasonable. Here’s what you can expect when our technician arrives.
The technician checks the appliance on-site before giving you a repair quote. That way, the price is based on what’s actually wrong rather than assumptions made over the phone.
Once we know what needs to be done, we explain the repair and the cost before starting. Nothing gets taken apart or repaired until you’ve approved the work.
Whether your appointment is during the week, in the evening, or on a weekend, the quoted repair price is based on the work required, not the day you call.
If the same issue comes back after the repair, contact us and we’ll take care of it. That’s included in the service rather than treated as a separate repair.
Real feedback from customers across Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia.
“Our fridge stopped cooling over the weekend, so we called Rapid on Monday morning. The technician found the problem, explained what was going on, and gave us the price before starting. He had the part with him and got the fridge working that same visit. Really appreciate the fast service!”
“Washer was stuck mid-cycle with a load of towels still inside. Tech found a failed lid switch, had the part on the truck, and it was running again within the hour.”
“Our dryer was taking two full cycles to dry a load. The guy found a blocked vent, had everything he needed on his truck, and fixed it on the spot. Reasonable pricing, no upsell, and great service.”
