Which appliance is giving you trouble?
Turn the dial to your appliance. Each setting shows the symptoms we hear about most on the phone and what they usually point to, so you know what to describe when you call.
Refrigerator
- Fresh food side warm, freezer cold
- Usually a stalled evaporator fan or a frosted coil from a failed defrost part.
- Clicking every few minutes, no cooling
- Often the start relay or overload on the compressor.
- Water on the floor in front
- A frozen or clogged defrost drain line, or a cracked water inlet valve.
Washer
- Will not drain or spin
- A clogged pump filter, a jammed drain pump or a failed lid lock.
- Loud banging on spin
- Worn shock absorbers, suspension springs or a failing drum bearing.
- Leaking under the machine
- Door boot tears, a loose drain hose or a split inlet hose.
Dryer
- Tumbles but stays cold
- A blown thermal fuse, open heating element, or a gas igniter or valve coil.
- Takes two cycles to dry
- A restricted vent run is the usual cause, then the cycling thermostat.
- Squealing or thumping
- Worn drum rollers, idler pulley or a frayed belt.
Dishwasher
- Water left in the bottom
- A packed filter, a kinked drain hose, or a drain pump that hums but does not move water.
- Dishes come out gritty
- Scale on the spray arms and a weak wash motor, common with Valley hard water.
- Error lights and no start
- A door latch switch, float switch or control fault.
Oven and range
- Gas oven will not heat
- A weak igniter that glows but cannot open the safety valve.
- Burners click but do not light
- Wet or dirty burner heads, a cracked electrode or a stuck spark module.
- Electric oven runs cold
- An open bake or broil element, or a failed temperature sensor.
Disposal
- Hums but does not turn
- A jam in the flywheel. Freeing it and resetting often solves it.
- Leaks under the sink
- A failed mounting gasket, a loose discharge tube or a cracked body.
- Dead, no sound at all
- The reset button, a switch fault, or a burned out motor.

Warning signs
Signs an appliance needs a technician, not another reset
- A smell of burning plastic or hot wiringUnplug the appliance and leave it off. Scorched wiring and failing motors give this warning before they fail completely.
- Breakers that trip when one appliance startsA shorted element, motor or compressor can pull more current than the circuit allows. Repeated resets make it worse.
- Water where it should not bePuddles under a dishwasher, a washer or a refrigerator rarely fix themselves, and Valley slab floors hide leaks under flooring.
- New noises: grinding, banging, squealingBearings, rollers, pulleys and pumps announce themselves early. Catching them before they seize keeps the repair small.
- Run times that keep getting longerA fridge that never cycles off or a dryer that needs a second round is working too hard, and something is restricting it.
- Error codes that come backClearing a code hides the cause. We read the code, test the part it points to and fix the reason it appeared.
How a visit works
What happens from the first ring to the test run
Five steps, the same on every call, from a refrigerator in Encino to an ice machine in a Burbank cafe.
You call, we answer
A person picks up at any hour. We ask what the appliance is doing, the brand and roughly how old it is, and give you an arrival window.
We test before we guess
The technician checks power, controls and the parts tied to your symptom with a meter, not by swapping parts until something works.
You get the price first
We explain what failed and what the repair costs before any part goes in. If repair does not make sense, we say so.
The repair, done carefully
Floors get covered, panels come off cleanly and the old part is shown to you if you want to see it.
A full test run
We run the appliance through a real cycle and check temperatures, water and gas before we pack up.
Heat, hard water, dust
Why Valley homes wear appliances out faster
Summers in the San Fernando Valley regularly pass 100°F, and Woodland Hills reached 121°F in September 2020. Refrigerators dump their heat into the kitchen, so a hot house means longer run times, harder working compressors and fans that give out in August. Garage refrigerators and freezers take the worst of it, along with dryers that sit in garages and closets with little air.
The water is hard too. Scale builds on dishwasher spray arms, ice maker fill valves, washer inlet screens and refrigerator filters, and it slowly chokes them. Then there is the dust that rides in on Santa Ana winds and packs condenser coils and dryer vents. At Vasquez Appliances we see these three causes behind a large share of Valley repair calls, and we point out the simple upkeep that keeps them from coming back.

Guides for Los Angeles homeowners
Why refrigerators struggle in San Fernando Valley heat
When the San Fernando Valley climbs past 100°F, a refrigerator has to work far harder to move heat out of the cabinet. Here is what happens inside the machine, which parts give out first, and what you can do about it.
Read the guideWhat appliance repair costs in Los Angeles
Appliance repair prices in Los Angeles vary with the machine, the part and how hard it is to reach. These typical ranges show where most common repairs land, so you can tell a fair price from a strange one.
Read the guideRepair or replace: how to decide on an aging appliance
When an older appliance breaks, the real question is whether one more repair buys you years of use or just delays a purchase. A few simple factors make the answer much clearer than guessing.

Questions about Vasquez Appliances
What areas does Vasquez Appliances serve in Los Angeles?
We work across the San Fernando Valley neighborhoods of Los Angeles, from Sun Valley and North Hollywood to Woodland Hills, Northridge, Porter Ranch and Sylmar. We also reach Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena, La Cañada Flintridge, San Fernando, Santa Clarita, Calabasas, Simi Valley and Thousand Oaks.
Does Vasquez Appliances answer the phone at night and on weekends?
Yes. The phone is answered 24 hours a day, every day, including weekends and holidays. Late calls are often about a refrigerator, a freezer or a leaking washer, and we will tell you what to do right away and when a technician can be there.
Which appliance brands does Vasquez Appliances repair?
We work on the common names, including Whirlpool, GE, Samsung, LG, Frigidaire, KitchenAid, Maytag, Bosch and Kenmore, and on built-in and pro-style lines such as Sub-Zero, Wolf, Thermador, Viking, Miele and Monogram. Tell us the brand and model when you call.
How does Vasquez Appliances price a repair in Los Angeles?
The technician diagnoses the appliance first, then explains what failed and what the repair costs before starting. Typical Los Angeles ranges for common jobs appear on each service page and in our cost guide, but the real price depends on the part and the diagnosis.
Can Vasquez Appliances fix appliances in condos and apartments?
Yes. Much of our work in North Hollywood, Van Nuys, Sherman Oaks and Valley Village is in condos and apartments. We work with building access rules, parking and HOA hours, and we coordinate with landlords and property managers when they are paying for the repair.
Is it worth repairing an older appliance in Los Angeles?
Often, yes. A failed fan, relay, pump, igniter or element on a well-built appliance is usually far cheaper than replacing it. When the repair would cost close to half the price of a new unit, or the appliance has a history of failures, we tell you so plainly.
