Ulises Perez Commands 42 Repairs While LG Refrigerators Surge 250%
The week of April 13–20, 2026, belonged to one technician: Ulises Perez. The PROFIX veteran logged 42 repairs across 20 different brand-appliance combinations, posting the platform's highest single-week total this month and nearly tripling Justin Nunn's previous weekly best. It wasn't just volume—Perez swept four category leads, claiming 4 LG Refrigerator repairs, 3 Samsung Range repairs, 3 Whirlpool Refrigerator repairs, and sole ownership of Traulsen commercial refrigeration with 2 repairs.
But Nunn didn't disappear. He finished second with 39 repairs, maintaining his position as the platform's volume leader even as he ceded ground to Perez in head-to-head category battles. The gap between them narrowed to just three jobs, the tightest margin we've seen all month.
The real story beneath Perez's breakout? LG Refrigerator repairs exploded from 2 to 7 jobs week-over-week, a 250% surge that marked the first time Perez and Nunn have directly competed in this category. Perez took the lead with 4 repairs to Nunn's 3, signaling a new front in their ongoing rivalry. Samsung appliances surged across the board as well: Refrigerators up 400% from 1 to 5 jobs, Washers up 300% from 1 to 4, and Range repairs returning with 4 jobs after a quiet week.
Meanwhile, the laundry wars intensified. Nunn claimed Samsung Washers with 3 repairs to Shaphan Hawks' 1, extending his dominance in Samsung laundry after sweeping five categories last week. Hawks fired back with 3 Whirlpool Dryer repairs to Nunn's 1, claiming the category lead and logging 11 total repairs across 8 categories this week. Nunn also led GE Dishwashers with 2 repairs, one of three categories where he edged out competition despite Perez's overall volume advantage.
Versatility emerged as a quiet theme. SET Appliance's Vasilii Kirillov logged 14 repairs across 12 different brand-appliance combinations, the week's most diversified workload. He tied Perez for Whirlpool Refrigerator leadership with 3 repairs, proving that breadth can compete with depth. Refrigerators dominated the week with 28 repairs across all brands, while Whirlpool led all manufacturers with 17 total jobs spanning refrigerators, washers, and dryers.
One more shift worth watching: Hector Ruiz logged the week's only installation job alongside 3 repairs, all in Whirlpool and KitchenAid categories. It's a departure from his Q1 repair dominance and may signal a pivot toward installation work.
With 118 total jobs logged, the platform saw its most competitive week yet. Perez's 42-repair performance sets a new benchmark, but Nunn and Hawks continue trading category leads—setting up an intriguing three-way battle as April closes.
