If your small appliances aren’t working or need repairs, Newton at Home has an answer. For those of you hoping to repair rather than replace, several NaH fix-it volunteers are taking on everything from irons to clocks to toasters.
This service is available to anyone in Newton, regardless of NaH membership, and is free of charge (with the exception of any replacement parts that may need to be ordered).
Among the diverse items that our volunteers have repaired over the years are teapots, record players, staplers, hairdryers, toasters, pencil sharpeners, Mix Masters (1945), bracelets, lamps (including antique vases made into lamps), vacuums, leaf blowers, radios, slide viewers, coffee machines, fans, paper shredders, sewing machines, and incense burners.
The Small Appliance Repair shop is only open on Wednesdays between 1-3 PM. No appointments are needed -- just come drop off your appliances during that timeframe. To reach the Small Appliance Repair shop, please call 617-795-1247.
