Sylmar
Wind, dust and heavy laundry at the top of the Valley
Sylmar sits close to the hills, and the Santa Ana wind seasons blow fine dust into every gap. That dust ends up in dryer vents, on refrigerator condenser coils and in the screens of outdoor units. A dryer that used to finish in one cycle starts needing two. A fridge that held temperature last year begins to struggle.
Many Sylmar households also run a lot of laundry, from work clothes to barn towels on horse properties. Heavy use wears washer drain pumps, belts, couplers and door locks. We carry the common parts for Whirlpool, Maytag, GE, Samsung and LG machines. Many laundry repairs are finished in one visit.
Homes and kitchens
Ranch homes, foothill horse lots and family rentals in Sylmar
Housing in Sylmar runs from postwar ranch homes and newer tract houses to horse properties on larger lots toward the foothills. Many families rent, and many homes hold more than one generation under one roof. That means bigger loads of laundry, more cooking and a fridge that is opened all day. Laundry is usually in the garage, and many homes keep a second refrigerator or freezer out there too.
On horse properties, laundry carries hay, sand and dirt that end up in the washer's pump filter. Garages here get very hot in summer, so garage fridges and dryers work harder. Hard Valley water scales washer inlet valves and fridge water lines. We look at the vent, the coils and the water supply on every Sylmar call.

Appliance repair hereQuestions
Appliance repair in Sylmar: common questions
Why does my Sylmar dryer take so long to dry?
In Sylmar, wind-blown dust and lint pack dryer vents fast. A blocked vent slows drying and makes the dryer run hot, which can blow its thermal fuse. We clean the full vent and hood, test the fuse and thermostats and confirm the dryer heats properly.
Do you repair washers on Sylmar horse properties?
Yes. Washers on Sylmar horse properties often clog with hay, sand and grit. We clear the drain pump filter, test the pump, check the hoses and inspect belts and couplers. Shaking out barn laundry first helps the pump stay clear.
What does washer or dryer repair cost in Sylmar?
Sylmar washer and dryer jobs usually come to $165 to $410. Belts, fuses and pump cleanouts cost less, while motors and control boards cost more. The real price depends on the part and the diagnosis, and we give you the number before we begin.
Can you fix my garage refrigerator in Sylmar during a heat wave?
Yes. Garage refrigerators in Sylmar work very hard in summer heat. We clean the condenser coils, test the fan and start relay and check the door gasket. We also suggest ways to help the unit cope, such as more space around it.

Yes. We cover all of 91342, from the streets near Olive View Medical Center to the homes along Foothill Blvd and the horse properties near the hills. Call any hour and give your cross streets so we can plan the route.
