Every format

Refrigerators we service across Los Angeles.

The fault list changes with the format. A built-in column and a counter-depth machine fail in different places, and the one that has to come out of the cabinetry needs the extra pair of hands.

Built-in refrigerator and freezer columns

Full-height single-temperature units, usually paired

Columns live inside the cabinetry and have to come out before most of the work can start. That is a two-person job done carefully, not a wrestle.

  • Sealed system and compressor
  • Evaporator and defrost
  • Door alignment and panels

Side-by-side built-ins

Over-and-under and side-by-side cabinet units

The classic built-in: one compartment above or beside the other behind a single grille, with the condenser up top and a drain that has to stay clear.

  • Dual evaporator faults
  • Condenser and fan
  • Control boards and sensors

French-door and counter-depth

Three- and four-door machines, flush with the cabinets

The ice and water sit in the door, which puts a water line, a dispenser circuit and a set of hinges in the one place that gets opened most.

  • Dispenser and water line
  • Defrost circuit
  • Hinges and door alignment

Freestanding side-by-side and top-freezer

The standard-depth workhorses

Simpler machines that fail in predictable places. Most of it is airflow, defrost or a fan rather than the sealed system, and most of it is a one-visit job.

  • Evaporator and condenser fans
  • Defrost heaters and timers
  • Thermostats and dampers

Under-counter and refrigerator drawers

Island and butler-pantry refrigeration

Small cabinets working hard in a confined space, which is why ventilation and condenser cleanliness decide how long they last.

  • Thermostats and sensors
  • Drawer seals and runners
  • Condenser airflow

Panel-ready and fully integrated

Flush-fit units behind cabinetry panels

Cosmetically invisible and mechanically unforgiving: the panel weight loads the hinges, and an alignment that drifts shows up as a seal that will not hold.

  • Hinge and panel alignment
  • Gasket sets
  • Flush-fit adjustment
Brands we serve

Refrigerator brands we repair in Los Angeles.

Every brand here builds refrigerators, and every card is about that machine. The parts we fit match the original specification.

Sub-Zero Refrigerator Repair

Refrigeration only, and the most of it

Most full-size cabinets run a separate sealed system per compartment, so one side can fail while the other holds rock solid. It narrows the fault without ruling out the expensive end.

Dual sealed systems Condenser and top grille Panel and hinge alignment

Viking Refrigerator Repair

Professional kitchens, built heavy

Built-in refrigeration matched to the range. Heavy panel-ready doors put real load on the hinges, and the sealed systems are conventional and serviceable.

Sealed system and compressor Hinges under panel load Control boards

Thermador Refrigerator Repair

Column refrigeration on a shared platform

Columns share a control platform with the rest of the line, which is why so many faults here read as control faults first and have to be proven at the part before anything is replaced.

Control boards and sensors Evaporator and defrost Door seals

Miele Refrigerator Repair

Integrated, and tight on tolerance

Fully integrated columns fitted to fine tolerances, with electronics that log their own faults. Reading the log is faster than guessing, and it is the first thing a technician does.

Fault logs and diagnostics Flush-fit adjustment Evaporator fans

GE Monogram Refrigerator Repair

Built-in and panel-ready

Conventional sealed systems in a built-in cabinet, which makes them among the more straightforward premium units to repair once the unit is clear of its surround.

Sealed system and compressor Defrost circuit Dispenser and water line

Dacor Refrigerator Repair

Panel-ready columns and wine reserves

Column refrigeration and wine storage with a great deal of electronics behind the panel. The control board is the fault here more often than the sealed system is.

Control boards Column refrigeration Wine reserves

Fisher & Paykel Refrigerator Repair

Drawers and integrated columns

Refrigeration drawers and integrated columns. The drawer runners and seals take the wear, and the control electronics are usually the cheaper half of any diagnosis.

Drawer seals and runners Thermostats and sensors Condenser airflow

Bosch Refrigerator Repair

Counter-depth and integrated

Counter-depth and integrated refrigeration built to sit flush with the cabinets. Evaporator fans, air dampers and control boards cover most of what we are called to.

Evaporator fans Air dampers Control boards

KitchenAid Refrigerator Repair

Built-in columns and French-door

Built-in columns alongside mass-market French-door machines. Defrost circuits and the dispenser assembly in the door account for most calls.

Defrost circuit Dispenser assembly Door seals

JennAir Refrigerator Repair

Panel-ready columns

Panel-ready columns sharing a platform with the wider group. A cabinetry door is heavy, and the hinges carry that weight for years before they show it.

Hinges under panel load Evaporator fans Control boards

LG Refrigerator Repair

French-door and linear compressor

Linear compressors paired with inverter boards. When one of these stops cooling, the compressor and its board are tested together rather than one being condemned on the other’s behalf.

Linear compressor Inverter board Defrost sensor

Samsung Refrigerator Repair

French-door and four-door

Ice makers sited in the fresh-food compartment are the recurring fault here, along with evaporator fan icing and dispenser problems.

Ice maker assembly Evaporator fan icing Dispenser

Whirlpool Refrigerator Repair

Side-by-side and top-freezer

Straightforward sealed systems and widely available parts, which is what keeps most of these to a single visit.

Defrost heater Thermostats Door gaskets

Maytag Refrigerator Repair

Side-by-side and bottom-freezer

Built on the same platforms as Whirlpool. Defrost faults and door seals cover most of what fails, and both are same-day work.

Defrost circuit Door seals Condenser and fans

Frigidaire Refrigerator Repair

Freestanding and counter-depth

High-volume machines with predictable faults. Evaporator fans, defrost timers and water inlet valves are the regulars.

Why MKH

What makes a refrigerator 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

From the first call to the final test, every step is built around your time and your kitchen.

Common questions

Refrigerator repair questions: cost, timing and warranty.

The things people ask us most, answered plainly. If yours is not here, phone and ask.

(213) 523-3555
How much does refrigerator repair cost in Los Angeles?
The visit is $99, and it comes off the bill if you go ahead with the repair on that same visit. The repair itself is quoted in writing before anything is touched. The common jobs — a defrost heater, a fan motor, a gasket set, a control board — sit well below what a built-in costs to replace. Sealed-system work is the expensive end, and we will tell you plainly when a unit has reached it.
Do you repair built-in refrigerators, or only freestanding ones?
Both, and built-ins are the larger half of the work. Column units, side-by-side built-ins, panel-ready and fully integrated cabinets are what our technicians are on daily.
My refrigerator is twelve years old. Is it worth repairing?
It depends on what it is. A built-in is designed to be rebuilt and routinely earns a second decade, so repairing one at twelve is normal. A mass-market freestanding unit of the same age with a sealed-system leak usually is not worth it, and we will say so rather than sell you the repair.
Can you come out the same day?
Most days, yes, across the Valley and the Westside. Anything leaking or unsafe goes to the front of the run. Call and we will tell you honestly what we can reach today rather than book you a window we cannot keep.
Do you carry refrigerator parts on the van?
The fast-moving ones — relays, fan motors, thermostats, defrost parts, common gaskets. Control boards and model-specific components are ordered after the diagnosis, because fitting the wrong board is worse than waiting a day for the right one.
What is the warranty on a refrigerator repair?
Parts and labor are covered for up to 365 days depending on the repair, and the exact term is written on your invoice rather than left vague.
Should I empty or defrost the refrigerator before you arrive?
No need to defrost. If the unit is warm, move anything that will spoil into a cooler, and clear a path to the front of the cabinet — on a built-in we may need to pull it forward to reach the condenser.
Do you work on a refrigerator that is still under manufacturer warranty?
No. We are an independent repair company and we work on out-of-warranty appliances. If yours is still covered, the manufacturer's own authorized network should do the work at no cost to you, and you should use them.
Do you repair the ice maker and the water dispenser too?
Yes — and they are a large share of refrigeration calls on their own. Inlet valves, fill tubes, dispenser switches and water lines are all routine work.
What if it is not worth repairing?
We will say so. When the repair gets close to what the unit is worth, that is part of the quote rather than something you find out afterwards. You can decline, pay the $99 for the visit, and owe nothing further — and we would rather tell you that than take the job.
Which areas do you cover for refrigerator repair?
53 cities and neighborhoods across Los Angeles and the Conejo Valley, from the Conejo Valley to the coast. The full list is further down this page.
