Appliance Repair in the Hollywood Hills

Our shop is at the bottom of the hill on Fuller, so the Hollywood Hills are about as local as it gets for us. Beachwood Canyon, Hollywood Dell, Outpost, Whitley Heights, up Nichols and Laurel Canyon: we fix built-in fridges, Wolf and Thermador ranges, wall ovens, dishwashers and laundry in houses that range from 1920s Spanish to glass boxes on stilts.
$65 diagnostic, credited to the repair · 183-day parts & labor warranty · License A 50129

Laundry ends up wherever there was space. Lower-floor closet, a corner of the garage, under the stairs. Stacked sets are common, and so are long dryer vent runs through walls and floors. That last part matters. A vent snaking 25 feet through a hillside house clogs faster than you'd think, and a dryer pushing against it overheats and trips its fuse. We check the vent on every dryer call, not only the dryer.

Diagnostic visit: $65. Go ahead with the repair and the $65 is part of the price.
The tech finds the cause, then gives you one number for the part and the labor. You okay it before anything gets replaced.

For built-ins, some parts need to be ordered. When that's the case you'll know at the quote, along with a realistic time frame.

Appliance Insight was founded by Stan, an appliance technician with 5 years of experience on built-in refrigerators and high-end kitchen brands like Sub-Zero, Viking, Wolf, Thermador and Miele. Every technician on our team is trained by Stan and works to the same standard.

We're based in West Hollywood, a few minutes from the bottom of Laurel Canyon and Nichols. The tech arrives in your window, tells you the price before any work starts, and every repair carries our 183-day parts & labor warranty.

Book online or call: the form works 24/7, phones are answered 8 AM–8 PM every day.
Pick a window: most Hills calls that come in before 11 AM get a visit that day, and almost always within 24 hours. Narrow street with no parking? Tell us where we can leave the van.
Diagnosis and one clear price: $65 diagnostic, credited to the repair if you go ahead.
Repair and warranty: most jobs are finished in one visit and covered for 183 days on parts and labor.

Parking. The streets are narrow and twisty, the curbs are permit-only, and there's no shoulder. Room in the driveway, or know a legal spot nearby? Tell us.
Stairs. Plenty of houses sit up a long staircase from the street, or below it. Fine for a repair. We just want to know before we haul tools.
Built-ins. Sub-Zero, Wolf, Thermador, Miele, Gaggenau, often with custom panels we take off slowly and carefully.
Old houses. 1920s and '30s homes in Beachwood and Whitley Heights, with kitchens squeezed into the original footprint.
Water pressure. Some hillside streets have lower pressure, and ice makers or dishwashers that fill on a timer can come up short. We test that before blaming the valve.

Ice maker making tiny cubes, or nothing: Up in the hills, water pressure is the first thing we check. Then the filter (when did you last change it?). Then the fill tube, which can freeze solid. If all of that's fine, the inlet valve is done. See ice maker repair.
Sub-Zero warm on the fresh side: Pop the top grille and look at the condenser. Dusty? That's probably your answer. Clean coil and still warm means we're looking at an evaporator fan or the defrost. See refrigerator repair.
Wolf burner keeps clicking: Did you just wipe the range down? Water in the burner does that, and it stops once it dries. If it doesn't, check the cap is sitting right. Nonstop clicking on a dry burner is a spark module going bad. See range repair.
Wall oven takes ages to heat: Electric? Probably the bake or convection element. Gas? A weak igniter. Now and then it's the temperature sensor, which makes the oven think it's hotter than it is. See oven repair.
Dryer takes forever: Long vent, lint stuck in every bend. We clear it and test. Still slow after that, it's the element or the gas valve coils, maybe the thermal fuse. See dryer repair.
Panel-ready dishwasher leaking: Start with the door gasket. A cracked sump or a loose drain hose under the sink come next. Fun one: a custom wood panel heavier than the door springs were made for, so the door never quite closes. See dishwasher repair.

In the Hills it's a lot of Sub-Zero, Wolf, Thermador, Miele and Gaggenau in the remodels, and Whirlpool, GE and Samsung in the canyon cottages and rentals. We work on all of them.
