Ulises Perez Commands 25 Repairs While Hoshizaki Ice Makers Debut
The week of April 27 through May 4, 2026, marked a turning point for the platform: commercial equipment arrived, and one technician proved he could fix just about anything with a compressor, a heating element, or a drum.
Hoshizaki ice makers appeared on the platform for the first time this week, with Ulises Perez logging both repairs—bringing commercial equipment expertise to PROFIX's residential appliance portfolio. It's a small but significant step, signaling that the platform is no longer confined to home kitchens and laundry rooms.
And Perez didn't stop at ice makers. He logged 25 repairs this week, spanning 18 different brand-appliance combinations—from Sub-Zero freezers to Alliance commercial washers. His breadth remains unmatched on the platform. To put that in perspective: no other technician came close. Shaphan Hawks claimed 20 repairs for ASAP Appliance Repair, including a clean sweep of Samsung dryers with 3 repairs—the only technician to touch the category this week. Aaron Aufmann surged to 11 repairs, leading the Maytag washer category with 2 repairs and claiming GE refrigerators with another 2—a strong showing across mainstream brands.
In the Samsung refrigerator arena, Vasilii Kirillov of SET Appliance led the pack with 3 repairs this week, edging out Carlos Montano and Aaron Aufmann who each logged 1. The category saw 5 total repairs across the platform, making Kirillov's dominance clear.
But Perez's most impressive feat may have been his total lockout of Alliance commercial laundry equipment. The category saw 4 repairs this week—2 dryers and 2 washers—and Perez claimed every single one, establishing dominance in the commercial laundry niche before anyone else even noticed it existed.
Elsewhere, familiar names made a comeback. GE refrigerators returned with 3 repairs after going silent last week, while Maytag refrigerators also bounced back with 3 repairs. Both categories had zero activity in the prior period. The platform logged 89 repairs this week across 30 brand-appliance combinations, with Samsung and Maytag equipment commanding 18 of those jobs—20% of all repair activity.
With commercial equipment making its first appearance and technicians spreading across an increasingly diverse equipment mix, the platform continues to expand beyond residential appliances. The question now: will anyone challenge Ulises Perez's 25-repair dominance next week?
