1 Star – Avoid This Company I had an absolutely terrible experience with UltraFix and feel completely scammed. They sent a technician named Vlad to look at my dishwasher (not powering on) and microwave drawer (not heating). He was in my home for less than 10 minutes and did not open or inspect either appliance internally. Without doing any real diagnostics, he claimed: The dishwasher “needed a new computer” The microwave “needed a new magnetron” and would take 2 hours to fix I pointed out that the GFCI outlet was tripped, the plug looked burned, and there was no power at the outlet at all. When I asked how he could possibly diagnose a bad computer with no power, he couldn’t explain it, opened Google Translate, and wrote that he “knows his job” and “doesn’t need to look inside.” That’s not diagnosing — that’s guessing. For the microwave, he claimed he could tell the magnetron was bad “by the sound.” There was no sound. Despite knowing something was off, I paid the $168 service fee. After he left, I inspected the dishwasher plug myself. It was clearly burned/shorted. I went to Home Depot, bought a $5.98 replacement plug, replaced it myself — and the dishwasher turned on immediately and works perfectly. So: The dishwasher did NOT need a new computer The unit wasn’t even getting power The tech completely missed an obvious electrical issue He tried to sell me an expensive, totally unnecessary repair This felt like either extreme incompetence or an outright attempt to scam me. I will be requesting a full refund and will be attaching photos as proof. This was one of the worst service experiences I’ve had. Do not trust this company to properly diagnose anything.
