Alex C Commands 20 Categories With 33 Repairs While Shaphan Hawks Extends Streak to 26 Weeks
The week of September 7 through September 14, 2026 belonged to two technicians who couldn't be more different in their approach. Alex C scattered his expertise across 20 categories like seeds in a field, logging 33 repairs from GE Washers (5) to Goodman Air Conditioners (1). Meanwhile, Shaphan Hawks stayed the course with 24 repairs and pushed his weekly streak to 26 consecutive weeks—the platform's longest active run by a comfortable margin.
The fireworks came in GE Dryers, where volume exploded from 3 jobs to 8, a 167% surge that crowned it the platform's fastest-growing category. Alex C claimed the top spot with 4 GE Dryer repairs, while Nick Harko finished second with 2 as part of his 20-repair week that kept his own 7-week streak alive across 19 categories.
But when the battleground shifted to LG Dryers, Shaphan Hawks flipped the script. He claimed the category with 4 repairs as LG Dryers surged 150% week-over-week. Alex C managed just 1 LG Dryer repair, though he more than made up for it by sweeping GE categories: 5 Washers, 4 Dryers, and 2 Refrigerators for 9 GE repairs total versus Shaphan's 2. It was a brand loyalty battle played out in real time, with each technician staking claim to different turf.
Alex C's 14-week streak continues strong, fueled by the most diverse portfolio on the platform this week. His 20-category span represents the kind of versatility that keeps work flowing even when individual categories cool. And cool they did—LG Refrigerators dropped 56% from 9 to 4 jobs, the week's steepest decline, while Maytag Washers fell 67% from 6 to 2 repairs as dryer work absorbed technician hours.
Victor Acosta logged 12 repairs plus 1 inspection job—the only field intelligence documented this week—and extended his streak to 8 weeks with work spanning Hoshizaki Ice Makers to Frigidaire Freezers. That Frigidaire Freezer category returned with 3 repairs after logging zero jobs the previous week, with Victor and Alex C each contributing 1 repair to the resurgent segment.
GE Washers became the week's busiest category at 9 total jobs, growing 29% as Alex C dominated with 5 repairs—more than double Nick Harko's 2. Vasilii Kirillov logged 1 GE Washer repair as part of his 9-repair week, maintaining his 6-week streak with work across Samsung, Maytag, and Miele categories.
With 115 repairs logged across 30 categories, the platform saw dryer work surge while refrigerator jobs cooled. Alex C's 20-category breadth and Shaphan Hawks' 26-week consistency set the tempo as September's second week closed, proving once again that there's more than one way to dominate the leaderboard.
