Appliances we repair in Hudson homes
Every visit starts with real testing, a plain-language explanation of what failed, and a written price before the repair begins.
Refrigerator, freezer, and ice maker repair
A warm fridge, an ice maker that stopped, water on the floor, or a compressor that runs nonstop — we diagnose cooling, sealed-system, ice, and water issues across French-door, side-by-side, top-/bottom-freezer, built-in, and column refrigerators, plus standalone freezers and wine coolers. Hard well water in 54016 is rough on inlet valves and ice molds, so most Hudson ice-maker tickets come back to the assembly and the water path.
Washer and dryer repair
Front-load, top-load, stacked, gas, and electric — we handle washers that won't drain or spin, leak, shake, throw error codes, or stop mid-cycle, and dryers that won't heat, take two cycles to dry, squeal, or shut off early. On Hudson well systems we look at the fill valve, dispenser, and softener health first; on dryers we check the vent path before condemning the heater.
Dishwasher, oven, range, and cooktop repair
Dishwashers that won't drain, leave dishes dirty, or stop drying; ovens that won't heat or hold temperature; gas burners that click but won't light; cooktop elements that stay cold. We test the drain path, fill valve, float switch, wash motor, igniters, bake/broil elements, and control boards so the repair matches the actual failure. Hard well water is the #1 reason Hudson dishwasher heating elements die early.
Microwaves, wine coolers, and built-in appliances
We service microwaves, microwave drawers, wine coolers, beverage centers, and built-in / pro-style refrigeration and cooking. Hudson's lake- and river-area homes run a lot of Sub-Zero, Wolf, Thermador, and Viking — those need careful access, factory parts, and EPA-certified sealed-system work.
Why Hudson appliances fail differently
A lot of Hudson and the surrounding St. Croix County stock is on private well water rather than municipal, and well-water hardness in this part of Wisconsin runs 15–25 grains per gallon — often with iron. That combination destroys dishwasher heating elements, washer fill valves, and ice-maker assemblies on a predictable cycle, and you'll see iron staining on washer drums and rust inside dishwasher tubs.
A working water softener is essentially mandatory for appliance longevity in Hudson; even with one, the resin tank needs annual inspection. A real share of the failures we diagnose here trace back to a softener that quietly stopped working rather than the appliance itself.
Lake-area homes along the St. Croix also run elevated humidity year-round, which puts extra load on Sub-Zero and other built-in refrigeration condensers. Annual condenser pulls are worth the small service cost on those units.
No Wisconsin surcharge, no cross-river fee
Some Twin Cities companies treat Hudson like it's out of area. We don't. The shop is in the East Metro, about 15 minutes from Downtown Hudson via I-94. Hudson is on every daily Western Wisconsin route, and you pay the same flat diagnostic, same labor rate, and same warranty terms as our Minnesota customers.
Appliance brands we service in Hudson
We service most major appliance brands in Hudson — Samsung, LG, Whirlpool, KitchenAid, GE, GE Profile, Café, Maytag, Bosch, Frigidaire, Jenn-Air, Thermador, Viking, Wolf, Sub-Zero, and Fisher & Paykel.
Brand experience matters because the same symptom often has a different cause by manufacturer. A warm LG French-door, a Samsung ice-maker fault, a Bosch dishwasher drain issue, a Whirlpool washer that won't spin, and a Sub-Zero cooling problem all require different testing steps.
Appliance repair pricing in Hudson

| Refrigerators and freezers | $149 | Yes |
| Built-in and pro-style appliances | $179 | Yes |
After diagnosis the technician explains the problem and gives you the repair price before any work begins. If the repair doesn't make sense for the age or condition of the appliance, we'll say so.

Why do appliances seem to fail faster in Hudson?
Most Hudson homes are on private well water with hardness in the 15–25 grain range, often with iron. That destroys dishwasher heating elements, washer fill valves, and ice-maker assemblies on a predictable cycle. A working water softener (with annual resin checks) is the single biggest thing you can do for appliance longevity.
