    Any suggestions for a washing machine repair technician in CH?

    Odel didn't answer me.
    Thanks
    IME he's very good, but good luck getting him to show up...
    or even return a call....
    Same can be said about almost any appliance repair person. I've used quite a few and was happy with all that I can recall, and then when you need them most they won't respond.
    he's in his own league...

    To his credit he responded to me via WhatsApp - to which he said he doesn't service LG washing machines.

    I paid appliance maven to tell me I need to replace the entire machine. He came really fast, just a few hours after I reached out to him.

    Didn’t realize a TJs was in the works, that would likely put a dent in the profits of the local Kosher supermarkets, especially the MP.

    In ch I dont think there is any official bais din afak.
    I would ask the other party which Rov he would like to go to and you can see if you trust that Rov as well.

    Hatzalacha I hope it all works out very soon.

    They had a kitchen fire and were "reopening soon". They'll be missed, especially for the early morning convenience (at least Pre-COVID).

    I was kinda hoping buncho would reopen. The only other good breakfast place nearby is holesome, but the breakfast special comes with a side of attitude...
