Find the appliance. Find the symptom.
Start with what
the appliance is doing.
Similar symptoms can have very different causes. These common complaints are a starting point—not a diagnosis by themselves.
Refrigerator not cooling
Temperature, airflow, defrost, fan, compressor and control problems can overlap.
Washer won’t drain or spin
Pumps, locks, drive components, wiring and controls all need to be considered.
Dryer not heating
Electric and gas dryers use different heat systems, while both depend on safe airflow.
Dishwasher not draining
Drain pumps, hoses, filters, disposal connections, controls and circulation issues can look similar.
Oven not heating
Igniters, elements, sensors, relays, wiring and electronic controls are common diagnostic paths.
Ice maker not making ice
Water supply, temperature, valves, sensors, fill systems and the ice maker itself may be involved.
Dryer making loud noise
Rollers, idlers, drum support, blower or motor wear can produce squeaking, thumping or rumbling.
Washer leaking water
Door seals, hoses, pumps, dispensers and fill systems can create leaks that look similar from outside the machine.
Model-specific troubleshooting
We diagnose the appliance,
not just the error code.
Good repair decisions come from testing how the system behaves—not replacing the first part that matches a symptom.
Motion & wear
Motors, pumps, belts, rollers, bearings, fans, hinges and other moving components.
Water & airflow
Drainage, fill systems, circulation, ventilation, blower performance and restrictions.
Heat & temperature
Heating elements, igniters, thermostats, sensors, defrost systems and safety devices.
Electrical & controls
Switches, locks, wiring, relays, user interfaces, control boards and error behavior.

Appliance repair in Santa Monica
Built-ins, stacked laundry
and tight installations.
Santa Monica homes include compact apartments, stacked laundry closets, built-in refrigeration and premium cooking appliances. Access can change the repair process: stacked units may need additional clearance, built-in refrigerators may require careful removal, and long dryer vent routes can create symptoms that look like appliance failures.
We diagnose the appliance and the installation conditions that affect its operation rather than treating every cooling, drainage, heating or airflow complaint as the same repair. Gas and electric appliances can also require different heating, ignition and safety checks.
Before you call
A few useful
answers.
Do you offer same-day appliance repair in Santa Monica?
Yes. Same-day appliance repair appointments are available in Santa Monica. We are open every day, 7 AM–8 PM Pacific Time. Call to book your visit. Completing a repair can require a return visit if a model-specific part must be ordered.
Which appliances do you repair?
We service refrigerators, freezers, ice makers, wine coolers, washers, dryers, dishwashers, ovens, ranges, cooktops and range hoods.
Do you repair premium appliance brands?
Yes. We work on many premium brands including Bosch, Miele, Thermador, Sub-Zero, Wolf, Viking, Monogram, Dacor and Fisher & Paykel.
Do you service stacked washer and dryer units?
Yes. Access can affect the repair process, so tell us if the units are stacked or installed in a tight laundry closet.
Do you work on gas appliances?
Yes. Gas and electric appliances use different heating and ignition systems, so the diagnostic path depends on the appliance and model.
What happens to the service call fee if I approve the repair?
The diagnostic/service call is applied toward the approved repair.

What should I have ready when I call?
