Appliance Repair in Highland Park, LA

Highland Park is mostly old houses with new kitchens, or new kitchens in old houses, depending how you look at it. Craftsman bungalows off York and Figueroa, hillside places up toward Mount Angelus and Garvanza, and a back house or ADU behind every third one. We fix the fridges, ranges, ovens, dishwashers, washers and dryers in all of them.

Kitchen Appliance Repair in Highland Park

A lot of the houses here got flipped in the last ten years, so the kitchen is often a stainless Samsung or LG package sitting inside a 1915 floor plan. That's fine until the fridge is shoved into an opening that was built for an icebox and has no room to breathe. Then there are the houses nobody flipped: the 25-year-old Whirlpool range that still cooks great but needs an igniter, the GE fridge that's been in the same spot since the '90s. We'll tell you straight if something's worth fixing. Usually it is.

Washer and Dryer Repair in Highland Park

Laundry's on the service porch, in the garage or squeezed into a hall closet. Back houses and ADUs often have a stacked set or a compact washer, and in a lot of duplexes two households share one machine, which wears out belts and pumps twice as fast. Older houses also tend to have long, crushed dryer vents behind the machine. If your dryer takes two cycles, check the vent before you blame the dryer. (We do that on every dryer call anyway.)
  • Not heating, squeaking, won't start, shuts off mid-cycle. Gas & electric.

  • Won't spin or drain, leaks, error codes, shaking.

How Pricing Works in Highland Park

Diagnostic visit: $65. If we fix it, the $65 is counted toward the total.
The tech tests it, tells you what's wrong and gives you one price for parts and labor. Nothing gets replaced until you say so.

On older appliances we check that the part is still made before we quote. No point promising a repair on a range if the valve was discontinued in 2009.

What We Run Into in Highland Park Homes

Old houses, new kitchens. Flipped Craftsmans with a new appliance package and the original 100-year-old layout. Tight openings, short outlets, cabinets built around a smaller fridge.
Back houses and ADUs. A lot of them. The fridge is compact, the range is 24 inches, laundry's stacked in a closet, and all of it gets used every single day.
Old wiring. Kitchen circuits that trip when the microwave and the toaster run together. We'll tell you if it's the appliance or the house.
Hills. Steep driveways, stairs up from the street, and parking that's a puzzle on the narrow streets near Mount Angelus.
Heat. It gets hot up here in summer. A fridge on a sunny back porch, or out in the garage, basically never stops running in August.

Common Appliance Problems We Fix in Highland Park

Fridge never shuts off: Slide it out a couple of inches. A fridge jammed in tight at the top and back has nowhere to dump heat. Still running nonstop? Dirty coils, or the condenser fan's going. See refrigerator repair.
Old gas range won't light: Most of the time the igniter's cracked or gunked up, or a burner cap got knocked crooked when somebody cleaned. Worn valves and thermostats happen, just less often. See range repair.
Oven runs cold: A weak igniter on a gas oven is the classic one: it glows but doesn't get hot enough to open the valve. On electric ovens, a burnt bake element. See oven repair.
Shared washer acting up: Banging on spin, leaking, or stopping mid-cycle. Worn suspension, a tired pump or a door lock that's done. Two families on one washer will do that. See washer repair.
Dryer takes forever: In these older houses it's usually a crushed or clogged vent. Vent's fine? Then it's on us to test the element on an electric, or the valve coils on gas, plus the thermal fuse. See dryer repair.
Dishwasher leaves a puddle: Gaskets flatten out over time, so we start at the door. Then spray arms (they crack) and the drain fitting under the sink. Flipped kitchen? Somebody may never have leveled the dishwasher. See dishwasher repair.

FAQ: Appliance Repair in Highland Park

Can you come out the same day in Highland Park?

Often. If you call before 11 AM we've got a decent shot at today, if not, tomorrow. Back house, or a long climb from the street? Say so, it helps the tech find you.

Is an old range in a Craftsman worth fixing?

Usually, yeah. Old gas ranges are pretty simple machines (igniters, valves, thermostats, burners), and when the part's still out there the repair costs a lot less than a new range. Plus the old one already fits the hole. We look up the part before we give you a number.

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 Highland Park?

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.

ADU or back house: do you go there too?

All the time. Little fridges, 24-inch ranges, stacked washer-dryers, small dishwashers. Just tell us the unit and the gate when you book. And who's letting us in: tenant, or owner?

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.
