Shaphan Hawks and Alex C Lock in Perfect Tie With 29 Repairs Each as Samsung Refrigerators Surge 75%
When two technicians match each other job-for-job, category-for-category, and head-to-head across a full week of platform activity, you're witnessing something rare: a perfect tie at the top of the leaderboard. During the week of September 21–28, 2026, Shaphan Hawks of ASAP Appliance Repair and Alex C of Integrity Services each logged exactly 29 repairs across exactly 20 categories, turning the week into a statistical dead heat.
Hawks extended his platform-leading streak to 28 consecutive weeks, but Alex C—now on a 16-week run—has emerged as the season's most consistent challenger. The two technicians even tied in three head-to-head categories: Samsung Refrigerator saw Hawks post 3 repairs to Alex's 1, Whirlpool Refrigerator went to Hawks with 3 against Alex's 0, and LG Dryer tilted slightly to Alex with 2 repairs against Hawks' 1. But when the dust settled, the totals were identical.
Behind the tie, category volatility told a different story. Samsung Refrigerator repairs jumped 75% to 7 jobs this week, up from 4 last week. Hawks claimed 3 of those jobs, while Danny Gutierrez logged 2. Meanwhile, LG Refrigerator repairs collapsed 73% to just 3 jobs from 11 last week—the steepest decline on the platform and a dramatic reversal for the category. Nick Harko led the diminished LG Refrigerator category with 2 repairs, part of his 15-repair, 9-week streak performance.
Other categories doubled or tripled. Alex C claimed both Electrolux Refrigerator repairs this week as the category surged 200% to 3 jobs from just 1 last week. Maytag Dishwasher repairs tripled to 3 jobs—also up 200%—with Alex C logging 2 and Vasilii Kirillov adding 1 during his 8-week streak. GE Dryers doubled to 4 repairs, up 100%, with four technicians splitting the category evenly in a rare four-way tie.
The week also marked a platform first: Hawks logged the first-ever GE Washer-Dryer Combo repair on September 22, opening a new category in the competitive landscape. Danny Gutierrez of Home Hire Appliance Repair posted 5 repairs this week while maintaining his 19-week streak, the platform's third-longest active run. Marco Palacios led Samsung Dryer repairs with 2 jobs, extending his 11-week streak with focused category work across 4 total repairs.
Repair work dominated the platform with 93 jobs—93% of all activity—while inspection and maintenance combined for just 6 jobs. Victor Acosta logged 5 repairs plus 2 inspection jobs, the most field scouting on the platform this week, during his 10-week streak.
With Hawks and Alex C locked in a perfect tie and Samsung refrigerators surging while LG refrigerators crater, next week's leaderboard is set for a decisive showdown.
