Appliance Repair

[laconstance]

I had a very positive experience this morning at a local appliance repair place. I took in a fan on which I thought the motor possibly was burnt out -- it apparently received heavy use the past two summers by house-sitters. The repair man looked at it, and after a couple of tests, made a diagnosis that the axle was clogged with dust and (probably) fine cat hair! He unscrewed the cover, cleaned the offending part, turned the blades a few times by hand to loosen things up, and ?un milagro! I now have a functioning fan! He did all this while I waited, and then refused to take any money for this repair! I thought the least I could do is pass on the information and my hearty recommendation:

Repair shop is on the alleyway leading to the Plaza San Fernando. This is the alleyway that is closest to the Plaza de la Paz. As you are in the alleyway, going toward the Plaza San Fernando, his tiny shop is on the left, across from the store that sells childrens' clothing.

He repairs blenders (of course), all manner of small appliances, and washing machines and refrigerators. Servicio en domicilio. He also has blender parts in stock.
