Counted from the 9 profiles above, not from a survey. Everything a business states about itself is reported as a claim.
West Virginia holds 9 listed Whirlpool businesses, out of 665 nationwide. That ranks 43rd of the 50 states with any, level with South Dakota and behind Texas on 27. They are 9 of the 10 businesses listed in West Virginia — 90% of the state directory.
Their ratings average 4.5, against 4.6 across all 665 listed nationwide, and 7 of the 9 sit at 4.5 or better. None holds a straight 5.0, and none sits below 4.0. Between them they carry 374 reviews, the largest single tally being 124 on Craigs Appliance Repair LLC in Charleston. Rating and review volume are what the businesses' own public profiles report — treat a high average on six reviews differently from the same average on six hundred.
By review volume the group is led by Craigs Appliance Repair LLC in Charleston (124 reviews, 4.6), Saunders Appliance Repair in Huntington (95 reviews, 4.7) and Orange Mountain Appliance LLC in Oak Hill (40 reviews, 4.5). By rating it is Saunders Appliance Repair at 4.7 on 95 reviews, Craigs Appliance Repair LLC at 4.6 on 124 reviews and Orange Mountain Appliance LLC at 4.5 on 40 reviews. Those are two different questions and they rarely give the same answer — volume tells you a company has been doing this at scale, a high average on a handful of reviews tells you much less.
All 9 state that they are licensed, and all state that they carry insurance. On top of that, 7 show a Better Business Bureau accreditation in the profiles. None advertises round-the-clock emergency cover, but 2 advertise same-day service. All of that is self-stated in the listing, not verified here: ask for the license number and a current certificate of insurance, and for anything that opens a sealed refrigerant system ask to see federal EPA Section 608 certification, which is required in all fifty states.
4 of the 9 publish a founding year: the longest-established has been trading since 1961, and the median across those that say is 25 years. Charleston holds the most at 4 — 44% of the group — followed by Huntington on 2, across 5 West Virginia cities with an index page. Between them they name 28 distinct towns, suburbs and neighborhoods in their stated service areas, so coverage reaches well past the cities listed here — give your address when you call rather than assuming.

The brand decides the parts route and the labour skill; the state decides the labour rate and the drive time. Both matter, and only one of them is on the quote.
If parts availability decides how a repair goes, this is the easiest platform in the directory to own. Components are stocked by every general parts retailer, aftermarket equivalents exist for most of the common ones, and a technician will frequently have the likely failure in the van — which is why a single-visit repair is the normal outcome here rather than a lucky one. Nothing restricts who may work on the machine and no brand account is involved. That shifts your attention to where it belongs: not whether the repair can be done, but whether the quote names the right component at a fair price with a warranty attached.
The best-stocked parts situation in the trade. OEM components are easy to source, aftermarket equivalents exist for most of them, and a technician will often have the common failure on the van rather than ordering it. Compare parts suppliers before you agree to an OEM-only quote.
Category prices lifted to the mid-range tier at 1×, the same multiplier the value estimator uses. The line is half the replacement price: above it, on a machine past two-thirds of its life, replacing usually wins. National figures, not West Virginia quotes.
