appliance repair Santa Monica

If you're wondering how much time to set aside for a repair visit, the answer depends on what’s wrong and what parts are needed.

• Most simple repairs take 30–60 minutes.
• Complex issues involving motors, control boards, or sealed systems may take longer.
• If a part needs to be ordered, we’ll return as soon as it arrives, typically within 1–2 business days.

Before picking up the phone, there are a few things you can check that might help solve the issue or give us a better idea of the problem.

• Check your home’s circuit breaker to rule out a tripped switch.
• Inspect for blocked filters, clogged hoses, or obstructed vents.
• Look for any standing water, unusual smells, or visible damage.

If your appliance isn’t working properly, it can be hard to decide whether to fix it or start shopping for a replacement.

• Repair is usually the better option for appliances under 10 years old.
• If the repair cost is less than 50% of the price of a new unit, repair is generally the smarter financial move.
• Many modern appliances are built to last 10–15 years, and a quality repair can often extend that life.

A little regular maintenance goes a long way in preventing breakdowns and avoiding costly repairs.

• Clean dryer lint traps after every cycle and keep venting clear.
• Dust off refrigerator coils every 6 months to help the compressor run efficiently.
• Avoid overloading your washer or dishwasher to reduce strain on internal parts.
• Run cleaning cycles and use recommended cleaning products to prevent buildup.
