Appliance repair · setup steps, not a score
How to set up an AI receptionist for appliance repair companies
Appliance-repair setup flags a warm fridge as food at risk without promising same-day, and writes down brand and warranty claims without confirming them.
Updated (America/New_York). A checklist, not a price check and not a call result.
A fridge that stopped cooling notes the urgency and does not promise a same-day arrival. A washer that clicks is a diagnostic, not a parts diagnosis. A brand and a warranty claim are written down and not confirmed. A diagnostic fee is stated only if you entered it.
Checklist
- Step 1
Food at risk is urgent, not a promise
Address, brand if they know it, callback, and whether they need it today. Note the warm food. Do not invent a same-day arrival. The lines are on the appliance repair call scripts.
- Step 2
A click is not a part
Washer or dryer, brand if they know it, address, callback. Book a diagnostic. Do not name a failed part from a click.
- Step 3
Warranty is a note
Brand and model if they have it, address, rough age, callback. Write down what they said, including a brand name they gave. Do not confirm warranty coverage.
- Step 4
Diagnostic fees must be yours
State the diagnostic fee, and whether it comes off the repair, only if you entered that policy. Otherwise take a message. Do not invent a fee.
- Step 5
Parts and payment are the job record
Brand, model, and the diagnostic result belong on the job once the phone is taking them down. That is field service setup, after the four phone paths work.

FAQ
How do I set up an AI receptionist for appliance repair?
Flag a warm fridge without promising same-day, book a clicking washer as a diagnostic, write down warranty claims without confirming them, and state a diagnostic fee only if you entered one.
Can the agent say the visit is today?
Only if you gave it that availability. The pass rule is to escalate food-at-risk urgency without inventing a same-day promise.
What if they name a brand and say it is under warranty?
Write the brand down. Do not confirm coverage. The script fails if the agent confirms warranty.
