Quick answer
An appliance emergency is anything that threatens safety or property: water leaking, a burning or electrical smell, a gas odor, or food warming in a failed refrigerator. Make it safe first by shutting the water valve, unplugging or cutting the breaker, or leaving and calling SoCalGas or 911 for gas. Then call us any hour. We give you an arrival window on the call.
We repair Whirlpool, GE, Samsung, LG, KitchenAid, Bosch, Sub-Zero, Wolf, Thermador and the other names found in Valley kitchens and laundry rooms.

Before you call
First steps to make an emergency safe
Safe checks only. If anything smells hot, sparks or involves gas, stop and call.
- Close the hot and cold valves behind the washer or the valve under the sink for the dishwasher.
- Close the water valve behind the refrigerator or at the line under the sink.
- Unplug the appliance or turn off its breaker if you smell burning or see sparks.
- If you smell gas, leave the home and call SoCalGas or 911 from outside.
- Note the brand, model number and what happened, so the call goes quickly.
Symptoms
Situations that should be treated as urgent
- Water spreading on the floorA burst washer hose, a leaking dishwasher or a split fridge line can soak flooring in minutes, so close the valve first.
- Burning or electrical smellA hot plastic or wire smell from any appliance means unplug it or cut the breaker and do not run it again.
- Gas odor near a range or dryerLeave the home and call SoCalGas or 911 from outside before calling us.
- Refrigerator above 40°FOnce fresh food sits above 40°F for hours, it starts to spoil, so the clock matters.
- Freezer thawingA full freezer stays frozen longer if the door stays shut, which buys time for the repair.
- Breaker trips when an appliance runsRepeated trips point to a short or ground fault inside the appliance, so leave it off.
The short version
What counts as an appliance emergency
Not every breakdown is an emergency, but some cannot sit overnight. Water leaking from a washer, dishwasher or fridge line keeps soaking subfloor and cabinets. A dryer or oven that smells like burning plastic may have a wiring fault. A failed refrigerator puts a week of groceries and sometimes medication at risk.
Our phone is answered every hour of every day. The first thing we do on an emergency call is help you stop the damage: which valve to close, which breaker to cut, what to move away from the leak. Then we schedule the visit and give you a window.
We do not promise an arrival time we cannot keep. We tell you honestly where the schedule stands and when a technician can reach you, and we put urgent safety calls ahead of routine work. If a part has to be ordered, we make the appliance safe before we leave.
Step by step

Make safe on arrival
The technician confirms the appliance is isolated and the area is safe to work in.
Find the failure
We trace the leak, short or cooling fault to the specific part.
Price and repair
You get the price before work starts, and common emergency parts ride on the van.
Test run
We run the appliance under watch, check for leaks or heat, and confirm it is safe to leave running.
Parts and repairs
Emergency repairs we handle most
Emergency calls cluster around a short list of failures. Our vans carry the common parts for these so many repairs finish on the first visit. When one is not on board, we isolate the appliance and order the part by model number.
- Burst or leaking washer hosesWe replace fill hoses with braided lines and check the inlet valve for cracks.
- Dishwasher leaksDoor gaskets, drain hoses, pump seals and inlet fittings are traced and repaired.
- Fridge water line leaksSplit supply lines, cracked inlet valves and loose fittings behind the fridge are replaced.
- Refrigerator not coolingWe test the start relay, condenser fan, evaporator fan and defrost system to find why it warmed up.
- Freezer failureDefrost heaters, thermostats and fan motors are tested so the freezer can pull back down to temperature.
- Electrical burning smellWe trace burned terminals, cords and wiring harnesses inside the appliance and replace the damaged parts.
- Range or oven stuck onA burner or element that will not shut off usually has a failed switch or control relay, which we replace.
- Dryer overheatingFailed thermostats and clogged vents are corrected before the dryer is used again.
Los Angeles price ranges
Emergency appliance repair costs in Los Angeles
Emergency repairs are priced by the part and the work. The same ranges apply to the most common urgent fixes. Late-night visits are scheduled as the calendar allows.

| Washer hose or inlet valve leak | $145 to $295 | Hose type and valve condition |
| Dishwasher leak repair | $165 to $365 | Gasket, pump seal or hose |
| Refrigerator not cooling | $215 to $545 | Relay, fan, defrost part or control |

Emergency jobs follow the same pricing as any repair, and these are typical ranges. The real price depends on the part and the diagnosis, and we give it before work starts.
Here in the Valley
Heat wave failures and second-floor leaks
Our emergency calls spike during Valley heat waves. When temperatures climb past 100°F, garage freezers and older refrigerators that were barely keeping up quit. It often happens on a weekend, and owners call about thawing meat and warm milk.
Leaks are the other spike, especially in two-story townhomes and condos in Sherman Oaks, Valley Village and Studio City, where the laundry sits on the second floor. A washer leak upstairs reaches the ceiling below within minutes. That is why we always ask you to close the valves before anything else.
Worth weighing
What to do while you wait for the technician
For a refrigerator, keep the doors closed and move the most important items into a cooler with ice. For a freezer, keep the lid or door shut and do not open it to check. A full freezer holds temperature much longer than a half-empty one.
For any leak, close the valve, mop the water and move rugs and boxes away. For an electrical smell, leave the appliance unplugged. For gas, stay outside until SoCalGas or emergency crews say it is safe.

Questions
Emergency Appliance Repair questions we hear in Los Angeles
Do you answer emergency appliance repair calls at night?
Yes. Our phone is answered every hour, every day, including nights and holidays. On an emergency appliance repair call we first help you shut off water, power or gas, then give you a realistic arrival window based on the schedule.
How fast can an emergency appliance repair technician arrive?
It depends on the schedule and your location, so we do not promise a fixed time. On an emergency appliance repair call we tell you honestly when a technician can reach you and move urgent safety and leak calls ahead of routine visits.
Is a refrigerator that stopped cooling an emergency appliance repair?
Usually yes. Once the fresh food section passes 40°F, food starts to spoil within hours. Treat it as an emergency appliance repair, keep the doors shut, move critical items to a cooler with ice, and call us with the model number.
What should I do first when a washer floods during an emergency appliance repair situation?
Close the hot and cold valves behind the washer, then unplug it if you can reach the plug without standing in water. Mop up and move rugs. Call us for emergency appliance repair. Most floods come from a burst hose or cracked inlet valve.
Can emergency appliance repair handle a gas smell from my stove?
Not first. A gas smell needs SoCalGas or 911 before any emergency appliance repair. Leave the home and call from outside. After the utility makes the home safe, we repair the range, oven or dryer parts that caused the problem.
Are emergency appliance repair parts carried on the van?
Our vans carry the common emergency appliance repair parts: washer hoses, fridge supply lines, start relays, fan motors, defrost parts, thermostats and dishwasher seals. When a part must be ordered, we make the appliance safe and return when the part arrives.
