For thirty-five years, when something quit working in a Carroll County kitchen or laundry room, a lot of families knew exactly who to call: D&D TV & Appliance in Carrollton. It started in 1987 as two names over one door — Don Parker and Dan Ries combined their first names into “D&D” and opened on Public Square, reportedly in a foot of snow. Don’s son Tom Parker joined the partnership about a decade later, the store moved to its longtime home on Canton Road NW in 2000, and for a generation D&D was simply part of how the county ran.
That chapter closed at the end of 2022. After the loss of their longtime serviceman, Dave Walter, in early 2022, and then co-owner Tom Parker later that summer, the doors shut for good. In a fitting twist, the old building on Canton Road found new life in 2026 as the U.S. headquarters of Dango & Dienenthal — another “D&D,” the same initials over the same door.
But the appliances those families bought from D&D didn’t stop running when the store closed. The Speed Queen washers built to last decades, the Whirlpool and Maytag sets, the refrigerators and ranges — they’re all still out there in homes around Carrollton, Lake Mohawk, Malvern, and the lake communities. And eventually, every one of them needs service.
We Were Already There
When Dave Walter passed in early 2022, those service calls still had to be answered — and Louisville Appliance Repair’s Sam Willhite is the technician who answered a lot of them. We ran service calls for D&D’s customers that year, working in the same Carroll County homes Dave had served for two decades. So this isn’t a company stepping in from the outside after the fact. We were already in those kitchens.
We’ve been servicing appliances throughout Carroll County since 2018 — Carrollton, Lake Mohawk, Atwood Lake, Leesville Lake, Malvern, Kensington, and the rural roads in between. We’ve been in a large share of the homes around Lake Mohawk, where premium kitchen packages, built-in refrigerators, wall ovens, and Bosch dishwashers are common. When D&D closed, we kept doing exactly what we’d been doing: showing up, diagnosing honestly, and fixing what’s worth fixing.
Bought a Speed Queen from D&D? We’re the Authorized Service
D&D was a major Speed Queen dealer, which means a lot of Carroll County laundry rooms have a Speed Queen washer or dryer that came from that store. Speed Queens are built to commercial-grade standards and routinely last far longer than ordinary consumer machines — so many of those units are still running today and will need authorized service at some point.
Louisville Appliance Repair is a Speed Queen / Alliance Laundry factory-authorized servicer — the authorized independent serving this area. That means proper training, genuine Speed Queen parts, and warranty-backed work. If you bought your Speed Queen from D&D, your service didn’t disappear when they closed; it just has a new name and number.
We also hold factory authorization for Bosch, Thermador, and GE, and we service every major brand D&D sold — Whirlpool, Maytag, Amana, KitchenAid, and more. Most repairs are completed in a single visit with OEM parts stocked on the truck, and every repair is backed by a six-month labor warranty.
The Same Kind of Service, Across the Same County
What made D&D work was simple: they showed up, they knew the community, and they took care of people. That’s the standard we hold ourselves to in Carroll County — from the historic district near the McCook House, out to the gated streets of Lake Mohawk, and through Malvern, Sherrodsville, Dellroy, Magnolia, Waynesburg, and Kensington.
If you were a D&D customer, or you just need a local technician with real manufacturer backing, we’re a phone call away. You can read the full D&D story and who services those appliances now on our D&D TV & Appliance page, or see everything we cover on our Carrollton appliance repair page.
