The refrigerator came out from the wall so the floor could be mopped. The range slid forward while new tile went down. The freezer was pushed into a different corner of the garage to make room. Everything went back into place, and a day later something is different: a puddle, a rattle, a burner that will not catch, a fridge that runs warmer than it used to. In Rex, Georgia, Switch Appliance Repair begins with the question that matters most here: what changed after the appliance was moved? Tell us how far it went, where it ended up and what you noticed since, and the technician starts from that.

A broken appliance does not need to drag the whole house down with it. If the fridge is warming up, the washer is leaking, the dryer won't heat, or the oven quit before dinner, Switch Appliance Repair is ready to step in.

What to Note Before We Arrive
How far it moved and whether it was tipped, rolled or lifted.
What else happened at the same time: new flooring, a new cabinet, painting, a deep clean.
What has been different since: water, noise, temperature, ice, how the door closes.
When the change started: right away, or a day or two later.
A photo of the space behind the appliance if you can see it safely.
Changes We Trace After a Move
A puddle in front of the fridge. The drain pan was displaced or the defrost drain tube was knocked loose.
Water behind the fridge. A supply line fitting was loosened or the tube cracked where it bent.
Ice production stopped. The line is kinked or the shutoff valve was closed during the work and never reopened.
The fridge runs warm and the compressor rarely rests. The cabinet is pushed too close to the wall, or dust stirred up during the work coated the condenser.
A door that will not stay shut. The leveling changed, or a hinge was bumped.
A rattle that was not there before. A loose rear panel, a fan touching a wire or a tube vibrating against the cabinet.
A gas burner with a small, lazy flame. A connector bent too sharply, or burner caps that were put back off center.
An oven or cooktop that resets or goes dark. A plug not fully seated or a cord pinched behind the range.
Safety First With Gas and Electricity
If you smell gas after a range was moved, do not light anything or flip switches. Leave the house and phone the gas company, then call us once it is safe. If a plug or outlet looks scorched, or a breaker trips each time the appliance starts, switch the breaker off and leave the appliance unplugged.
How a Switch Visit Works
You tell us about the move. The appliance, the brand, how far it went, and what changed afterward.
We check what sits behind it. Lines, cords, connectors, clearance, leveling and the drain pan, then the appliance's own parts.
You hear the cause. Whether the move simply disturbed something, or exposed a part that was already near the end of its life.
Nothing is replaced without your approval. Genuine or OEM-approved parts go in, and the appliance is tested in its final spot.
Repairs come with a warranty. Up to six months on regular repairs and up to twelve months on Sub-Zero work.
Moving an Appliance Without Trouble Next Time
Turn off the water to the ice maker before pulling the fridge out, and check the tube before pushing it back.
Leave a small gap behind the refrigerator and keep the front grille clear.
Roll it straight, without twisting, and avoid tipping a refrigerator on its side.
Check the level once it is back, so the doors close by themselves.
For gas ranges, keep the connector clear of sharp bends and do not stand the range on it.
Food Safety While the Fridge Recovers
After a move, a refrigerator can take several hours to settle. Keep a thermometer on the middle shelf. If it stays above 40°F, move perishables to a cooler with ice. Under USDA guidance, perishable food held above 40°F for 2 hours or longer should be thrown out. A closed, full freezer stays frozen for about two days.

Homeowners learn whether the move caused the change or just revealed it.
Landlords and property managers get a short note after appliances are moved between units or during turnover.
Offices and shops near Rex Road with residential-style refrigerators or ranges can book a check after a layout change.

Repair or Replace in Rex?
When a move is the trigger, the fix is often small: a new supply tube, a reset level, a seated plug, a drain pan put back in place. Sometimes a move shows that a compressor, a control board or a sealed system was already failing. Replacement belongs in the conversation when that is the case on an older, basic model, or when the part is no longer made. You get both options and decide.

Quick answers before you book
Rex Appliance Repair FAQ
Is my street in Rex on your route?
Very likely. Type your ZIP code into the booking form for an instant answer, or ring (470) 319-8098.
The fridge leaks since we moved it for new floors. Is it broken?
Often not. A displaced drain pan or a loosened water line is the usual cause, and both are quick to put right.
Ice stopped after the refrigerator was pulled out. Why?
The supply tube may be kinked behind the cabinet, or the shutoff valve was closed during the work and not reopened.
Can moving a refrigerator damage the compressor?
Laying a refrigerator on its side can move oil into the lines. Let it stand upright for a few hours before plugging it back in, and tell us if it was tipped.
My gas range was pushed back and a burner burns low. Is that safe?
A sharply bent connector can restrict gas. If you smell gas, leave the house and phone the gas company first; otherwise, book a check.
How soon can someone come out?
Same- or next-day visits are offered in Rex when the route allows; parts that must be ordered can add time.
Do you check the appliance in its new spot?
Yes. The final test is done where the appliance will stay, with the clearance and level it will actually have.
How long is the repair covered?
Six months for parts and labor on regular repairs, twelve months on Sub-Zero.
