Appliance Repair Services in Berkeley, CA
KITCHEN APPLIANCES
If your fridge runs nonstop, leaks, or can’t hold a steady temperature, the cause is often a fan, sensor, seal, or control. Freezers that frost over or warm up get the same careful testing. We also repair ice makers built into refrigerators and freezers.
KITCHEN APPLIANCES
An oven that runs hot or cold usually points to a heating element, igniter, sensor, or control. We also fix burners that won’t light or heat evenly on gas, electric, and induction cooktops. On a range, we check the burners and the oven together, since one problem can affect both.
KITCHEN APPLIANCES
We repair dishwashers that leave water behind, leak, don’t heat, or stop cleaning well. Common culprits include pumps, valves, latches, and controls.
KITCHEN APPLIANCES
Humming, jamming, leaking, or no response at all can mean an electrical or mechanical fault. We’ll tell you whether the unit is worth repairing.
LAUNDRY APPLIANCES
We fix washers that won’t drain or spin, leak, shake hard, or stop mid-cycle. We also repair combo washer-dryers, the all-in-one units that wash and dry in the same drum.
LAUNDRY APPLIANCES
No heat, clothes that need two cycles, drums that won’t tumble, and sudden shutdowns usually trace back to a heating part, motor, or control.
OUTDOOR COOKING
Built-in grills can develop burner, ignition, valve, and temperature problems over time. We test each system and repair the part causing trouble.
KEEP IT RUNNING
FixEm offers maintenance visits that spot worn parts before they cause a breakdown. Your technician’s recommendations are based on the appliance’s age, condition, and how often you use it.
Repair or Replace?
Age alone doesn’t decide it. A repair often makes sense when the appliance is in good shape overall and the failed part is reasonably priced. Parts availability, past repairs, and the cost of the current fix also matter. Get a diagnosis before you shop for a new unit, so you’re working from facts.
How a Visit Works
Your technician starts by recreating the problem you described. Next, they test the parts most likely to blame, whether that’s a motor, a valve, or a control board. Once they find the cause, they’ll walk you through an estimate and get your approval before any repair begins. After the repair, they run a full test cycle to confirm everything works.
When you book, please have the brand and model number handy. It helps your technician prepare.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a service call cost?
Standard service calls cost $90, though built-in ovens and stacked laundry units carry a $140 diagnostic fee. If we’re looking at more than one appliance during the same visit, you’ll pay the highest base diagnostic rate plus $50 for each extra unit. Any service fee goes directly toward the cost of your repair if you choose to go ahead with the work.
Why does my appliance work sometimes and fail other times?
On-and-off problems often come from a loose connection or a sensor, switch, or valve that’s starting to fail. Your technician may need to recreate the problem to find it.
Should I keep using an appliance that's making a strange noise?
New grinding, scraping, buzzing, or clicking can mean a part is failing, and running the appliance can make it worse. Stop right away if you see smoke or sparks, or smell burning or gas.
What if the part I need isn't available?
Your options depend on the model, the manufacturer, and whether compatible parts exist. Once we know what failed, we’ll go over what’s possible.
Do you repair portable or countertop dishwashers?
No. We repair built-in residential dishwashers only.
Do you repair standalone ice makers?
No. We only repair ice makers built into refrigerators or freezers.
