1 Stop Appliance Shop in Akron Has Closed — Where Akron Homeowners Can Turn for Appliance Repair
1 Stop Appliance Shop LLC, the new-and-used appliance store and repair shop at 734 S Arlington St in East Akron, has closed. If you bought an appliance there or relied on them for repairs, here is who can still take care of your appliances across the Akron area.
What this means if you were a 1 Stop Appliance customer
1 Stop Appliance Shop served East Akron with new and used appliances and in-home repairs for years. With the shop closed, customers who bought a refrigerator, washer, dryer, range, or dishwasher there — or who counted on them when something broke — need a new place to turn for service.
Louisville Appliance Repair already serves greater Akron and Summit County, and we can pick up exactly where a shop like 1 Stop left off: repairs on the major brands they sold, by a team the manufacturers themselves have authorized.
Who can service your appliances in the Akron area now
Louisville Appliance Repair is the only independent serving the Akron area that is factory-authorized for Bosch, Thermador, GE, and Speed Queen at the same time. That authorization is the difference between a shop that will attempt your repair and one the manufacturer has trained and approved to do it with OEM parts — and, on covered appliances, to perform warranty repairs billed to the manufacturer instead of to you.
- All major brands serviced — refrigerators, washers, dryers, ranges, ovens, dishwashers, and more from Samsung, LG, Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Frigidaire, and others, the same range of brands 1 Stop carried.
- GE warranty service across greater Akron. As a GE factory-authorized servicer we handle covered GE, GE Profile, Cafe, and Monogram warranty repairs — billed to GE, not to you.
- Speed Queen factory-authorized residential and commercial laundry, warranty included.
- Bosch and Thermador factory-authorized for the high-end kitchens common in Hudson, Fairlawn, Bath, and Montrose.
Real repair credentials, not just a service call
Behind those authorizations are the bench credentials that let us fix appliances other shops condemn: EPA 608 universal certification, R-600a sealed-system (hydrocarbon refrigerant) training, and Lokring certification for in-home sealed-system joints — the combination needed to repair a refrigerator’s cooling system in your kitchen instead of replacing the whole unit. Add M-CAP master certification and a specialty in Samsung and LG since 2018, and the result is an 479+ five-star track record with 85–90% of repairs completed on the first visit.
