Appliance Repair for Historic Kensington Homes
Kensington is one of Montgomery County’s most charming towns. Victorian houses, 1920s bungalows, narrow streets, and the historic train station. Your home has character that new construction can’t match.
But historic homes come with unique challenges when appliances break.
Tight doorways. Uneven floors. Old wiring. Narrow basement stairs. Gas lines that have been there for decades. Fix Appliance
Repair understands all of it. We’ve repaired thousands of appliances in Kensington’s older homes. We work carefully, move slowly, and never damage your plaster walls or hardwood floors.
Call us today at 301-793-2757 – Open 7 AM to 6 PM, Monday through Saturday. Same-day service available.
We proudly serve all of Montgomery County, MD, with Kensington as our historic home specialty zone.
We Also Repair Vintage Appliances
Have a working vintage stove from the 1950s? A 1960s refrigerator that still runs? We love seeing them. We can help maintain them.
What we can do for vintage appliances:
- Diagnose problems
- Clean and adjust burners, pilots, and thermostats
- Replace simple parts if available
- Advise honestly when repair isn’t possible
What we cannot do:
- Create parts that don’t exist anymore
- Guarantee a repair when parts are unavailable
If you have a vintage appliance, call us. We’ll be honest about whether it can be fixed.

- Not cooling properly (freezer cold, fridge warm)
- Ice maker stopped working
