Help! I need a tech to fix my appliances!

[steveklein]

(Sorry if this isn't the right forum; I'm not sure what is the right forum.)

I am not professional appliance repair tech. (I'm a computer repair tech; alas, the skills are not interchangeable!)

I've reached the point where I'm ready to give up and pay a pro.

I promise I won't lean over your shoulder or try to tell you how to do your job.  I just want to give you my money and get my stuff fixed!

Location: Oak Park, Michigan (Oakland County, near Royal Oak and Southfield)

Appliances needing repair:

• Dishwasher #1: Tappan model #61 1144, serial #66 113499
  The door "falls" open.  I tried replacing the springs, but the fix only lasted for about a month, so either I did it wrong, or something else is going on.
• Dishwasher #2: Whirlpool model DU920QWDQ3, serial #FF2132966
   Makes a sound like something trapped in the impeller. I tried removing the impeller, but couldn't get it off.  (I got the ¼-inch nut loose, but no matter how many times I turned it while holding the impeller, the screw never completely unscrews.  The impeller seems loose, but I just can't free it.)

Does anyone here service appliance in my area?

The Find a Local Tech forum is the right fit for this post, so I've moved it there.
