Vornado fan repair Does anyone still do small appliance repair? I suspect my fan just has a blown thermal protection fuse, but I don’t have the gear to test and replace it. Feels wasteful to throw out a nice fan that likely needs a minor repair.
Anybody know of a place, preferably uptown Manhattan, that still does this kind of work? Called a place on UWS and they said nobody does that kind of work anymore. Kind of hard to believe. I’m also willing to donate to a place that would repair it and give it to someone in need.

I need to get a vacuum cleaner fixed. Does anyone know of anywhere within reasonable public transportation distance to do this? I don't think it's a complicated problem, but I have no idea how to fix it myself.

The place on Broadway is Crown. Last time I was there, a couple of years ago, the owner told me that they would make house calls to Inwood. http://www.crownsalesandservice.com/
Any recommendations on a nearby place/person that does sewing machine repair? My (insanely heavy) Viking started smoking today and I'm in the middle of a baby quilt project!! HELP!

Hi, My mother just gave me her old Sunbean mixmaster Model No. t570154. I need to get it refurbished, have the wiring checked etc. Does anyone know of a place in NY City that does this kind of work?...
Hi Laura, Here is a place to call and try. They are a tiny little operation on 108 and Broadway, and specialize in Vacuums and sewing machines, but they are the old mom and pop type, been there for years, and repaired a friends stereo for him with no problem. I think they might just be able to do anything with old machinery. AACrown Sewing machine serivice 2792 Broadway New York, NY 10025 (212) 663-8968 I hope they can help you out. Best,
