Bent Creek and Kingswood are two separate neighborhoods, but they have a lot in common: mature trees, homes built between the late 1960s and the mid-1990s, and well-kept streets. We group them on one page because the appliance problems we see in both are so similar.
Kingswood
Kingswood is just off US-67 in the southwest part of Cedar Hill, near Lake Ridge Village and Wildwood on the city's neighborhood map. The city describes it as quiet and heavily wooded, with some of the most impressive trees in town, and lists about 390 homes built between 1968 and 1995. Kingswood Park sits inside the neighborhood, and Kingswood was the first neighborhood to receive Cedar Hill's Premier Neighborhood Award. Our technicians reach it from East Belt Line Rd by heading southwest along US-67.
Bent Creek
Bent Creek is smaller, with about 79 homes. It sits between two forks off Pleasant Run Road and was developed in 1984, when the land around it was still estate homes and wooded tracts. Today it has a mandatory property owners association and is within walking distance of shopping and dining. From our shop on East Belt Line Rd, Bent Creek is a short trip.
Second and Third Sets of Appliances
A home built in 1975 or 1984 has gone through more than one refrigerator, range, and washer. What you have now might be ten years old or two years old, and that changes what is likely to fail. In Bent Creek and Kingswood we commonly work on:
- Gas and electric ranges where one burner won't light, the oven won't reach temperature, or the oven light and clock work but nothing heats. See oven repair and stove and range repair.
- Refrigerators that run all the time, sweat around the doors, or let ice build up in the freezer. A worn door gasket is a common cause and a simple fix. See refrigerator repair.
- Built-in dishwashers retrofitted into older cabinets, where the mounting or drain setup was never quite right.
- Dryers on long or older vent runs that take forever to dry a load. See dryer repair and our article on why a dryer stops heating.
Trees and the outside of your house
The tree cover that both neighborhoods are known for has a practical side. Leaves and twigs collect in outside dryer vent flaps and around outdoor refrigerator or freezer units on patios. Storms bring down limbs and cause power outages, and appliances with electronic controls can come back with error codes after the power returns. A quick look around the outside of the house each season helps.
Gas safety in older homes: If your range or dryer runs on gas, the flexible connector behind it may be as old as the house. If you smell gas, do not turn anything on or off. Leave the house and call your gas company or 911 from outside. If you are not sure how old your connector is, ask the technician to look at it during a visit.
Worth Fixing?
In older homes, the appliances are often good quality and well cared for. A worn igniter, door gasket, or drive belt is usually a straightforward repair. We diagnose first and give you a price before any repair work starts, and we are honest when a unit is better replaced.
