Sidd Home Appliance & Small Engine

This is the appliance repair company that came to fix my dryer when I called «Professional Appliance Repair in Reno».
The rubber gasket on the inside of the dryer door came out when I was trying to clean it. I tried to replace it myself, but could not get the gasket back in. So I called what I thought was a local business to set up a appointment.
Mr. Siddiqui, the owner of «Sidds Home Aplliance», showed up at the arranged time and was professional and completed the job to my satisfaction. He also showed me how to fix it myself if it should ever happen again. He also explained why it happened and what I can do to make sure it doesn’t happen again. He also explained that I could save myself the $ 79 service charge next time by calling him directly if I need another repair.
I will definitely consider using this business again.

I really changed my mind on this company. I got a dishwasher from them after my total fiasco with RC Wiley thinking I would get a better dishwasher. Well no not really! I just cant win in the dishwasher appliance department. I cant use pods in the washer no compartment for them. You must thourghly rinse all the dishes before putting in washer even with doing that after the rinse cycle you will get a dish with a greasy film on it. So now I have to hand wash. We will eventually upgrade to brand new appliances from a better reputable dealer, because Sidds im done with as well as RC Wiley.

This review is for the home appliance part of the business. There’s also a car shop run by the same guy in the parking lot next door, but I don’t have any experience with that.
The dryer in my tenant’s house had finally broken down, so I bought an apartment size dryer (Whirlpool, 240 volt) from Sidd Home Appliance. The owner assured me it was fine and even plugged it in for me, and while I did not test it out with actual clothes before I bought it, it did feel warm inside the drum after he ran it so I thought it worked. I paid him $ 220, $ 200 for the dryer itself and $ 20 for him to deliver and install it. He brought it in and I found that it would need a bit of ductwork, as the vent didn’t match up to the wall opening. No problem, my bad, I should’ve checked for that.
He began removing the old, broken dryer, and since he already had it on the hand truck I asked if he could roll it 20 feet from the door to the garage… nope, he just dumped it on the lawn, gave me my receipt, and left. I was a little annoyed, but I had my own hand cart, so I just put it in the garage myself.
I called a repairman to vent the dryer for me. He told me – surprise! — he couldn’t fit the ductwork on the dryer because it was missing a piece on the back where the vent goes. There is supposed to be a small, fluted piece of metal there so you can attach either a flexible duct or a rigid tube to vent the dryer. And that wasn’t all. The dryer was also missing the two front legs, which the repairman said would make it wobble back and forth while it was running. Then, as he was turning it on to test the ductwork he taped on, the knob fell right off. It wasn’t even the right knob for this dryer, he told me.
Well, fine. I’d been had. But really, how much could a couple odds and ends cost? Turns out, more than what I actually paid for the dryer, because it was quite a few years older than the guy at Sidd Home Appliance told me it was, and they don’t make the parts anymore. At this point, I just told the repairman to go ahead and vent it, and at least my tenant would be able to dry her clothes until I could go out and find a new dryer (a real new one this time). Turns out, this thing couldn’t even do that. Apparently it took upwards of three hours to dry anything, and my tenant ended up just putting her clothes on a rack to dry them.
I called the owner of Sidd Home Appliance, and he ended up taking the dryer back and refunding me completely, even the delivery fee. I give him two stars for that. However, that doesn’t erase the fact that he lied and sold me a dryer that was missing several parts and didn’t work. I would not recommend buying anything from this guy; just go to a big box store for your appliance needs.
