Every guide is built from real repair work — thousands of jobs across refrigerators, washers, dryers, dishwashers, ovens, and more — turned into instructions anyone can follow. The goal is simple: save you the cost of a service call and the wait for one.

  • 30+ years of hands-on repair experience behind every guide
  • 1,400+ step-by-step repair guides published since 2013
  • New guides every week, covering the appliances that break most often
  • Real jobs, real photos — every guide is built from actual repairs, not manufacturer manuals rewritten

Who We Are

RemoveAndReplace.com is run by certified repair technicians publishing new how-to guides every week. Each one walks through the repair step by step, with photos and diagrams showing exactly what to do — covering everything from troubleshooting and part replacement to home organization and renovation projects.

A Note From Keith

I started RemoveAndReplace.com in 2013 after years of watching homeowners get quoted hundreds of dollars for repairs that take twenty minutes once you know what you’re doing. Before this site, I spent 19 years as a Tech Sergeant in the U.S. Air Force working F-16 fuel systems — hydrazine-certified, precision work where there’s no room for guessing — and another 9 years repairing commercial food service equipment, the same motors, compressors, and control boards you’ll find in a home kitchen, just running harder. That combination is why the guides here are written the way they are: exact steps, no filler, and no assumption that you already know what a capacitor looks like.

What We Cover

Guides span the full range of home appliances: refrigerators, ovens, microwaves, washers, dryers, dishwashers, and more. Each one is written to get you from problem to fix quickly, so you can handle the common repairs yourself instead of paying for a technician to do something straightforward.

Our Approach

Our readers are homeowners and DIYers, not professional technicians — so that’s who we write for. Most appliance problems have a straightforward fix, and our guides are built so anyone, regardless of experience, can follow along and complete the repair with confidence.

Our Team

Our writers are certified technicians with backgrounds in military aviation maintenance, commercial food service equipment repair, and home renovation. That range of hands-on experience — from hydrazine-certified aircraft fuel systems to the compressors and control boards inside your kitchen appliances — is what makes the troubleshooting in our guides accurate and the repair steps reliable.
