Not cooling, frost building up in the freezer, water pooling under the crisper. Sealed-system work is where most shops stop and where a good share of our calls start.
A freezer running a few degrees warm spoils a month of food before anyone notices. The defrost cycle and the door seal get checked before anything gets condemned.
Slow production, hollow cubes, a bin that fills with one solid block. Usually water pressure, the inlet valve or the harvest cycle rather than the module replaced first.
Burners that will not light, an oven cavity running well off its setting, an induction surface dropping out mid-cook. Gas work gets a leak check before anything is touched.
Clicking that will not stop, a flame burning yellow instead of blue, an element heating unevenly. Most of it comes down to ignition, gas pressure or a burned connection.
Cracked glass, a zone that will not come on, touch controls that ignore you. Induction faults are electronics work and need the board read rather than guessed at.
Not heating, heating to the wrong number, a door that stays locked after a clean cycle. Calibration gets checked with a probe, not by trusting the display.
Burners that will not light, heat that is fierce at one end of the grate and weak at the other, an igniter corroded through after a season outdoors. Weather reaches the cheap parts first.
Standing water in the sump, dishes coming out gritty, a slow leak down the cabinet front. Usually drainage or spray pressure rather than the part people expect.
Scale is the usual culprit on Los Angeles water. Descaling faults, a reservoir that will not prime and a blocked steam generator account for most of what we see.
Sub-Zero, Wolf, Viking and 13 other brands we repair.
Every brand we service, and what we are usually called out for on each.
The parts we fit match the original specification whichever badge is on the door.
The benchmark for built-in preservation. Column refrigeration, freezer drawers and integrated wine storage — and the sealed-system work most shops will not take on.
Refrigeration, cooking and laundry across the range. Straightforward parts and quick turnarounds, which keeps these jobs to one visit.

Why MKH
What makes a specialist repair hold.
Plenty of shops will turn up. These are the parts of the job that decide whether the repair actually holds.
High-end appliances are what we do
Sub-Zero, Viking, Wolf and Thermador are built differently from mass-market machines, and they fail differently. These are the units our techs are on every day, so the fault gets recognized rather than hunted for.
Warranty of up to a year
Parts and labor are covered for up to twelve months depending on the repair, and the term is written on your invoice rather than left vague.
Original OEM parts
Parts that match the original specification. A cheaper substitute in a sealed system is how a one-visit repair becomes three.
$99 service call, waived with the repair
The visit costs $99. Go ahead with the repair on that same visit and the fee comes off the bill, so the diagnosis is effectively free. Decide not to, and you have paid $99 for a straight answer and owe nothing further.
A written quote before anything is touched
You see the price and approve it first. No work starts, and nothing is ordered, until you have said yes.
Same-day visits
Most calls across the Valley get a technician out the same day, and anything leaking or unsafe goes to the front of the run.
Licensed, verified and insured
BHGS #50900 for Major Appliance Repair, independently confirmed by Yelp. Fully insured, so a mistake in your kitchen is our problem and not yours.
We leave the kitchen as we found it
Floors protected, the unit back on its rails, and the packaging gone with us. A built-in has to come out before most repairs can start.
How it works
How an appliance repair visit works.
From the first call to the final test, every step is built around your time and your kitchen.
01
Tell us what it is doing
Call or send the form. Brand, model if you have it, and what the appliance is actually doing — that is usually enough to know what to bring.
02
We diagnose it on site
A technician finds the fault and explains it in plain terms, including the parts involved and what it will cost.
03
You approve the price
Written, flat, and agreed before any work begins. If you would rather not go ahead, that is fine — you pay the call-out and nothing more.
04
We repair and stand behind it
Most repairs finish on the first visit. The work and the parts are warrantied, and we check back that it held.
Where we work
Appliance repair across 53 Los Angeles neighborhoods.
We cover 53 cities and neighborhoods, from the Conejo Valley to Long Beach.

The things people ask us most, answered plainly. If yours is not here,
phone and ask — nobody will try to sell you anything.
How much is a service call?
$99. A technician comes out, finds the fault and tells you what the repair costs. Go ahead on that same visit and the $99 comes off the bill. Decide not to, and you have paid $99 for a straight answer and owe nothing more.
Will I know the price before any work starts?
Yes. You get the price for the repair after the diagnosis and before anything is taken apart or ordered. No work begins until you have agreed to it.
Do you repair Sub-Zero, Wolf, Viking and Thermador?
Those four are most of what we do, along with Miele, GE Monogram, Dacor and Fisher & Paykel. We also service the major brands — Bosch, KitchenAid, JennAir, LG, Samsung, Whirlpool, Maytag and Frigidaire — 16 in all. We are an independent repair company and are not an authorized service agent for any manufacturer.
Which appliances do you work on?
Refrigeration and cooking are the bulk of it: refrigerators, freezers, wine coolers, ice makers, ranges, stoves, cooktops and ovens. We also handle dishwashers, range hoods, microwaves, warming drawers, steam ovens, coffee systems, beverage centers, washers and dryers.
Can you come out the same day?
Usually, yes. Most calls across the Valley and the Westside get a technician out the same day, and anything leaking, sparking or unsafe goes to the front of the run. Call early and you have the best chance of a slot.
Do I need to bring the appliance in anywhere?
No. Every repair happens at your home. We are a mobile service — there is no shop to drop anything off at, and a built-in unit should not be pulled out and transported anyway.
What does the warranty cover?
Parts and labor, for up to 365 days depending on the repair. The exact term is written on your invoice rather than left vague. If the same fault comes back inside it, we return and put it right at no charge.
What parts do you use?
Parts that match the original specification for the unit. A cheaper substitute inside a sealed system is how a one-visit repair turns into three, so it is not a saving worth making on a built-in.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes — California Bureau of Household Goods and Services registration #50900, type Major Appliance Repair, and fully insured. You can look the number up: it is a public record. If something goes wrong in your kitchen, that is our problem and not yours.
Which areas do you cover?
53 cities and neighborhoods across Los Angeles and the Conejo Valley: the San Fernando Valley, the Westside and central LA, west through Calabasas to Thousand Oaks and Simi Valley, and east and north through Burbank, Glendale and Pasadena. If yours is not on the list, call and ask — it is usually a yes.
