Understanding Appliance Brand Families

Who Makes My Appliance? Understanding Brand Families—and Who We’re Authorized to Service

When an appliance breaks down, most homeowners look at the brand name on the front. But behind that name is often a much larger parent company—and knowing who really made your appliance can help you understand its quality, support options, and service eligibility.At Appliance Professional, we specialize in both factory-authorized service and out-of-warranty repairs across a wide range of appliance brands.

What Factory-Authorized Means

If we’re factory-authorized, that means:
