Before you call
Checks your staff can do before calling
Safe checks only. If anything smells hot, sparks or involves gas, stop and call.
- Check the breaker and outlet, and look for a tripped GFCI near sinks.
- Make sure nothing blocks the vents at the front or back of the refrigerator.
- Clean the dishwasher filter and check spray arms for food debris.
- Note any error code on the display and write down the model number.
- Close the water valve if a plumbed unit is leaking, and put a tray under it.
Symptoms
Common breakdowns in offices, cafes and gyms

- Office dishwasher not cleaningHeavy cycle counts wear spray arms, pumps and heating elements faster than in a home.
- Cafe oven not holding temperatureWorn elements, sensors and door gaskets let bake temperatures drift during a shift.
- Microwave keys failingTouchpads on high-use microwaves wear out at the most-pressed buttons first.
- Water cooler or dispenser leakingInlet valves and lines on plumbed dispensers and fridges leak after scale and use.
- Gym laundry backlogTowel washers and dryers in gyms and studios run all day and wear belts, bearings and door locks.
The short version
The appliances that keep a small business running
Not every business kitchen is a full restaurant line. Many offices, cafes, coffee bars, gyms, salons and studios run on residential and light commercial appliances. Think of a breakroom fridge, a convection oven, a household-style dishwasher, or a microwave used fifty times a day.
Those appliances get heavier use than they were built for, so they fail sooner. A household dishwasher in an office breakroom runs several cycles a day. A countertop microwave in a cafe takes constant door slams. Parts wear in months, not years.
We repair that equipment on site and plan around your hours. For walk-in coolers, reach-in refrigerators and ice machines, see our refrigeration and ice machine pages, where the work and the timing are different. Gym and salon laundry is covered here, while laundromats have their own page.

Los Angeles price ranges
Commercial appliance repair prices in Los Angeles
Light commercial repairs are priced by the part and the time, like residential work. Commercial-grade parts can cost more, and after-hours visits depend on the schedule. Grouping several repairs into one visit keeps the cost per repair lower.
| Repair | Typical range | What moves the price |
|---|---|---|
| Breakroom fridge fan or relay | $215 to $415 | Part type and fridge model |
| Commercial-use dishwasher pump | $245 to $495 | Residential or light commercial unit |
| Oven element or sensor | $185 to $385 | Convection or standard oven |
| High-use microwave repair | $165 to $395 | Touchpad, switch or magnetron |
| Gym or salon dryer repair | $165 to $345 | Belt, fuse or bearing |
Business repairs are priced per job, so these are typical ranges. The real price depends on the part and the diagnosis, and the manager approves it before we start.
Here in the Valley
Office parks around Warner Center and the Burbank media district
Warner Center in Woodland Hills and the studio and media offices around Burbank and Universal City hold many office suites with shared breakrooms. Those kitchens run residential fridges, dishwashers and microwaves far harder than any home, with dozens of people using them each day. Breakroom fridges in those suites are often packed so full that air cannot circulate.
Office buildings often have loading dock rules, parking validation and security check-in. When you call, tell us the suite number, the building contact and any check-in steps, and we plan the visit so the technician is not stuck at the front desk. After-hours visits are possible when building security allows access.
Worth weighing
Residential or commercial equipment for your business
Many small businesses start with residential appliances because they cost less. That works for light use. A household dishwasher running five cycles a day or a home fridge opened all day will fail sooner and may not meet food service needs.
If you serve food to the public, check with the county health department about what equipment your operation needs. We can tell you how your current equipment is holding up and what kind of unit would last longer at your level of use. The goal is fewer breakdowns in the middle of your workday.

Questions
Commercial Appliance Repair questions we hear in Los Angeles
What kinds of businesses use your commercial appliance repair?
Our commercial appliance repair clients include offices, cafes, coffee bars, small restaurants, gyms, studios, salons and spas. We focus on residential-style and light commercial equipment such as breakroom fridges, ovens, dishwashers, microwaves and laundry units.
Can commercial appliance repair be done outside business hours?
Our phone is answered around the clock, and we try to schedule commercial appliance repair before opening, after closing or during slow periods when the schedule allows. Tell us your hours when you call and we will offer the least disruptive window.
Do you invoice the business for commercial appliance repair?
Yes. Commercial appliance repair invoices go to the business name and address you provide, with the location and appliance listed. If a property manager or landlord pays for equipment repairs, tell us when you call and we will bill them.
Do you repair walk-in coolers as part of commercial appliance repair?
Walk-in coolers, reach-ins and prep tables are covered on our commercial refrigeration repair page, and ice machines have their own page. General commercial appliance repair focuses on breakroom fridges, ovens, dishwashers, microwaves and laundry in light commercial settings.
Why does our office dishwasher need commercial appliance repair so often?
A household dishwasher in an office runs several cycles a day, so pumps, spray arms and heating elements wear faster. Commercial appliance repair can restore it, but if it fails often, a unit built for heavier use may save money over time.
Can you set up regular commercial appliance repair and maintenance?
Yes. We schedule preventive visits for businesses to clean condenser coils, check dishwasher pumps and filters, inspect hoses and test laundry equipment. Regular commercial appliance repair and maintenance visits catch wear before it shuts down a breakroom or kitchen.
