How we repair your Electric Knife/Slicer
An electric knife uses a handheld motor to drive two serrated blades back and forth against each other for carving meat and slicing bread. An electric knife/slicer is built around a motor, a drive system of gears or belts, switches and safety interlocks. A technician checks the motor and its brushes or capacitor, the drive train, the switches and interlocks, and blade or attachment condition.

Can you repair my electric knife/slicer the same day?
Often, yes. Call (844) 442-1999 early in the day and we will try to schedule a same-day visit. Same-day service depends on technician availability and whether the part is in stock.

Yes. Completed repairs are covered by a 90-day parts-and-labor warranty. If the same problem comes back in that time, we come back and fix it.
Which brands do you service?
We work on all major brands, including Black+Decker, Cuisinart and Hamilton Beach.
Should I repair or replace my electric knife/slicer?
