Our washing machine was no longer spinning at top speed and we were left with soggy clothes requiring additional spin cycles. This quickly became an inefficient process. We discovered that our washer was still under warranty after contacting Doug's Maytag 434-286-2692 and scheduled a service call within the week. Our soft-spoken technician, Michael, quickly diagnosed the problem and installed a new motor. We are back in business! Highly recommend Doug's Maytag. Submitted by Flo Quick. February 2025
Jason Lester - 434-566-9800
I searched the WBB for a repairman, after our dryer stopped drying. I found Jason Lester of "Darn It All Repairs" and he responded immediately to my call, scheduled a time that fit both our schedules and kept us informed of progress as we waited for replacement parts to arrive. Fair pricing and overall good guy. You can reach him at 434-566-9800. Submitted by Flo Quick. February 2025
Our refrigerator's French doors stopped closing properly without a nudge, and the gaskets around them had started fraying, so I called the guy recommended in a recent WBB–Jason Lester (434-566-9800). He came out in a couple of days. He first expertly got the frig doors right and then went shopping online for the new refrigerator gaskets using his phone. He found a source with a good price on the new parts. A few days later, he installed the new gaskets when it was convenient for us. The price for the labor was reasonable; he was pleasant to work with, and he left the kitchen as tidy as he found it. He said he repairs washing machines, dishwashers, stoves, ovens, water heaters, and other appliances. Submitted by Charles Batchelor. December 2024

DuctMedic - 434-985-3828
I asked for dryer vent cleaning recommendations in a recent issue of the WBB and was directed by another Wintergreen homeowner to DuctMedic of Charlottesville (434-985-3828). Online scheduling was fast and easy; technicians showed up promptly. They advised me that they provide service for the resort and its condos. The charge was $219 for my stacked washer/dryer unit interior and exterior vent cleaning, and I was told that service every 2-3 years is fine for the 26 or so loads of laundry we do here per year. The team was responsive, quick, and professional, and provided me with peace of mind knowing my unit is clear of lint and debris. Great service; highly recommended! Submitted by Valerie Passwaiter.

A&E Factory Service - 800-905-9505
We called a local appliance repair firm we had used in the past to have our refrigerator fixed, but they told us their tech who did that kind of work had quit. They suggested we call A&E Factory Service (1-800-905-9505), a national firm based in Illinois that has technicians in this area. The A&E tech did a very good job and we'll use them again. Albert told us he often comes to Wintergreen. There are a lot of steps on the phone and online you have to follow with A&E. We had to agree to pay $114 for someone to come out even if we didn't like their analysis of the issue or their projected cost of the repair, which in our case was not cheap but not outrageous.
