Appliance repair from Farmington to every corner of San Juan County
San Juan County covers the northwest corner of New Mexico. Aztec is the county seat, Farmington is the largest city, and Bloomfield and Kirtland round out the main towns. About 121,700 people lived here at the 2020 census. Three rivers run through it, the San Juan, the Animas and the La Plata, and the Navajo Nation covers the western and southern parts of the county. It's high desert and oil and gas country, and the appliances here work through heat, cold, dust and hard water.
Our shop is in Farmington, so calls in town and close by often fit on the same day when the schedule allows. Aztec, Bloomfield, Kirtland, Flora Vista, Crouch Mesa and Lee Acres sit near our regular routes. Farther out, in places like Shiprock, Newcomb, Nageezi, Blanco, La Plata, Cedar Hill and Navajo Dam, we book the trip ahead and gather the model number, a description and a tag photo beforehand, so the tech arrives carrying parts that fit.
The work itself is the same everywhere. Our tech pulls the panel, tests the suspect parts with a meter and shows you what failed before replacing anything. We fix refrigerators, freezers, ranges, ovens, dishwashers, washers, dryers, water heaters and swamp coolers, plus commercial kitchen, laundry and refrigeration equipment for restaurants, motels, laundromats and work camps. If you notice a gas odor, get out first, report it to the gas utility or 911 from a safe spot outdoors, and reach us afterward.
How San Juan County weather and water wear down appliances
The whole county is high desert, with Farmington near 5,400 feet and Aztec near 5,640. July highs reach around 90, January lows fall into the teens, and yearly rainfall stays below 10 inches. Spring winds carry fine dust into refrigerator condenser coils, dryer vents, range hood filters and swamp cooler pads. July and August monsoon storms add lightning and power blips that can kill an electronic control board, so surge protection pays off.
Housing varies as much as the weather. A lot of Farmington's ranch houses went up between the 1950s oil and gas boom and the 1970s, newer subdivisions spread across the north and east, and manufactured homes are common across the county. Outside city gas service, propane runs ranges, dryers and water heaters, and each needs the right LP setup and altitude adjustment. Private wells along the river valleys bring hard water that scales dishwashers, ice makers, washer screens and water heater tanks. Swamp coolers run on rooftops from about May to September.
What San Juan County households call us about most
Across the county, these five repairs come up week in and week out.
Swamp cooler belt squealing or slipping
Belts glaze and stretch over a long cooling season, and dry blower bearings make the squeal worse. We replace the belt, set the tension, check the pulleys and oil the bearings where the design allows.
Front-load washer smelling sour
Detergent residue and hard-water scale in the door boot and pump trap breed odor. We clean the boot, the pump filter and the drain path, check the spider arm and bearings, and suggest a cleaner wash routine.
Dishwasher not draining
Standing water in the tub usually traces to a clogged filter, a chopper blade jammed by glass or bone, or a drain pump that quit. We clear the path, test the pump and check the drain hose and check valve.
Water heater leaking at the base
A leak from the drain valve or a fitting can be fixed, but a leak from the tank body means replacement. Shut off the water and the gas or power, then call us at any hour for a look.
Microwave runs but won't heat
A blown high-voltage diode, a failed magnetron or a faulty door switch stops the heating while the light and turntable keep working. We test the high-voltage parts carefully and replace what failed.

San Juan County appliance repair questions
Do you cover all of San Juan County, NM?
Yes. We serve Farmington, Aztec, Bloomfield and Kirtland along with the rural communities between and beyond them, including homes on the Navajo Nation. Closer calls can often be handled the same day when the schedule allows. Remote areas get a scheduled trip with parts confirmed by model number before we go.
Is propane setup different from natural gas for appliances in San Juan County?
Yes. Propane runs at a different pressure and needs smaller orifices than natural gas, so a range, dryer or water heater has to be converted with the maker's LP kit. At our altitude, the manufacturer's high-altitude instructions apply too. Flames that burn yellow or lift off the burner, sooty pans and slow lighting are signs the setup needs a check.
When should San Juan County homeowners start up and shut down a swamp cooler?
Most coolers here run from about May to September. In spring, replace or clean the pads, check the pump, belt and float, and flush the pan. In fall, drain the pan and water line so they can't freeze and split, unplug the pump and cover the unit. We handle both visits.
Which appliance problems in San Juan County count as emergencies?
A water heater leaking into the house, a freezer full of food that has stopped cooling, and a gas appliance fault once the supply is off and the utility has given the all-clear. Those three get a technician dispatched day or night. For a gas smell, leave first and call from outside before calling us.
