Appliance Repair in East Hollywood
East Hollywood is the stretch between Hollywood and Silver Lake that most people just drive through on Sunset. Little Armenia, Thai Town, Virgil Village, the blocks around City College. It's mostly rentals over here: 1920s courts, those boxy '60s stucco buildings with the carports underneath, some old craftsman houses on the side streets off Virgil. We fix fridges, gas ranges, ovens, dishwashers, washers and dryers in all of them, and it's a short drive from our shop.

Kitchen Appliance Repair in East Hollywood
Apartment kitchens here mostly cook on gas. A lot of the ranges are whatever the landlord bought fifteen years ago, and you know what? They're fine. Burner won't light, it's a dirty igniter or a cap sitting crooked. Oven won't get hot, the glow-bar igniter's tired. Cheap parts. Fridges are the bigger headache, honestly. Plenty of older units have no AC, the kitchen hits 90 in August, and the fridge is jammed into a corner with zero room to breathe. Give it a couple inches at the back. Vacuum the coils. Sounds too simple, but it buys you a lot.
- Warm fridge, frozen freezer, leaks, no ice. All brands, including Sub-Zero built-ins.
- Burners that click but won't light, oven side not heating.
- No heat, uneven baking, error codes on wall ovens.
- Not draining, dishes still dirty, water on the floor.
- Runs but doesn't heat, dead touch pad, built-in and drawer models.
- Fan dead or loud, lights out, controls not responding.
- Gas igniters, induction zones, cracked glass tops.
Washer and Dryer Repair in East Hollywood
In-unit laundry is still kind of rare around here. Most buildings have a shared room with coin machines, and those belong to a route company, so call the number on the machine, not us. Where we come in: houses and duplexes in Virgil Village, remodeled units with a stacked set in a closet, the condo conversions. Same old story with the closet stackers. The vent gets squashed behind the machine, clothes come out damp, and somebody decides the dryer's dead. Usually it's not.
- Not heating, squeaking, won't start, shuts off mid-cycle. Gas & electric.
- Won't spin or drain, leaks, error codes, shaking.

Renting? Your landlord might be the one paying for this. We're happy to send the quote straight to them or to the manager.

What We Run Into in East Hollywood Apartments
Carport buildings. Those boxy '60s stucco places with parking underneath. Narrow stairs, tight kitchens, a fridge shoved right up against the wall.

Odd hours. Nurses, City College students, people working nights. We try to find a window that doesn't wreck your sleep.
Old gas lines. Flex connectors from who knows when. Smell gas? Shut the valve, get outside, call SoCalGas. Then call us.

Common Appliance Problems We Fix in East Hollywood
Fridge quits on hot days: Touch the bottom grille. Warm and humming but nothing's cold? Dusty coils or a condenser fan on its way out, and summer is when they give up. We clean, test the fan and the start relay, and then tell you what it needs. See refrigerator repair.
Gas oven won't heat: Hear the click, maybe a whiff of gas, no flame? Weak igniter. It's the part we swap most on gas ovens, and it's usually done in one visit. See oven repair.
Burner won't light: Wipe the igniter, let it dry, set the cap back on straight. Still nothing? Then it's the spark module or a switch. See range repair.
Stacked dryer, damp clothes: Lint screen. Then the vent right behind the unit, which in a closet is almost always squashed flat. See dryer repair.
Dishwasher full of water: Filter first, it's probably gross down there. Then the drain hose under the sink. Both clear? Pump. See dishwasher repair.
Over-the-range microwave dead: Check the breaker, they're often on their own circuit. Breaker's fine? Usually a blown fuse inside, and a bad door switch is often what blew it. See microwave repair.

FAQ: Appliance Repair in East Hollywood
Can you come out the same day in East Hollywood?
A lot of the time, yes. Call before 11 AM and there's a good chance we're there that afternoon, otherwise next morning. Send the gate code and unit number when you book.
My fridge only stops cooling in summer. Why?
Heat. A fridge dumps heat out the back, and when the kitchen's already 90 degrees it can't get rid of it fast enough. Dusty coils make that worse, and a weak condenser fan or start relay tends to give out right then. Pull it a few inches off the wall and vacuum the coils. Still warm a day later? Call us.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. California registration A 50129 (you can check it on the DCA license search), fully insured, and BBB accredited.
What brands do you repair?
All the major ones: Whirlpool, GE, Samsung, LG, Frigidaire, Maytag, KitchenAid, Bosch, Electrolux, Kenmore. Plus built-ins: Sub-Zero, Wolf, Viking, Thermador, Miele, JennAir, Fisher & Paykel and Liebherr.
What's the warranty?
183 days on parts and 183 days on labor for every completed repair. If the same problem comes back in that window, we return at no charge. Details are on our warranty page.
How much does an appliance repair visit cost in East Hollywood?
The diagnostic visit is $65, and it comes off the bill if we do the repair. After the diagnosis you get an exact quote for the part and the labor, and nothing starts until you approve it.
Should I repair or replace my appliance?
A common rule: if the repair costs more than half the price of a comparable new appliance, or the machine is near the end of its normal life, replacing it usually makes more sense. Built-ins are the exception. A well-kept Sub-Zero or Wolf lasts a long time, and fixing it is almost always cheaper than replacing it and redoing the cabinetry. We'll tell you honestly which side of the line you're on.
Can you work around a night shift?
Sure. Tell us when you're asleep and we'll pick a window outside it. You can book online any time, just put your hours in when you do.
What forms of payment do you accept?
Visa, Mastercard, AmEx, debit, cash, Zelle, Venmo, Apple Pay, and checks.
How do I book a repair?
Use the form at the top of this page any time, or call (213) 761-5757 between 8 AM and 8 PM, seven days a week. Tell us the appliance, the brand and what it's doing, and we'll give you an arrival window.
