The independent appliance repair shop across the Pacific Northwest
Appliance Repair in Berkeley — Local Techs, One Call
We repair all major brands of home appliances across Berkeley, from the flats to the hills and out toward Oakland, as an independent shop. Berkeley homes keep appliances in tight spots: a washer tucked under a back porch, a fridge wedged into a narrow craftsman kitchen, an old wall oven that came with the house. Tell us what you're hearing, smelling, or seeing. We'll ask a few questions, bring the likely parts, and take the time to check the whole machine instead of guessing. Call us or send the quote form and we'll set up a visit.

Appliance repair in Berkeley, the local picture
We repair washers, dryers, ranges, ovens, fridges and dishwashers in Berkeley, all the major brands, as an independent shop. Call us and tell us what the machine is doing. A lot of the homes here are older, brown shingle houses and 1920s bungalows and flats carved into duplexes, so appliances get squeezed into spaces that were never built for them. We see dryers vented through long runs packed with lint. We see dishwashers wedged under stone counters with barely an inch of clearance, and refrigerators shoved tight to a wall until the coils cook themselves. All fixable. We'd rather show you what went wrong than hand you a part number and send you off. Bring us a symptom, a burning smell or a puddle under the door or a freezer that frosts over every week, and we'll trace it back. We'll take the time to listen.

After the visit, in their words
“Second visit ever, same easy process. Washer spins like it did the day we bought it.”
Danielle M.Ontario, CA“They told me flat out the old freezer was not worth the part cost and helped me plan the swap instead.”
Tom B.Lancaster, CA“Called at 8, booked by 8:15, fridge cold before dinner. I did not expect that speed.”
Angela P.Salinas, CAAppliance repair in Berkeley — quick answers
How soon can someone come out to my Berkeley home?
Call us and we'll walk you through the next open windows. Oakland is only about four miles off, so we're often crossing Berkeley several times a day. That helps when something can't wait, like a fridge full of groceries going warm.
Do you go past Berkeley into other East Bay towns?
Yes. Oakland is our closest neighbor at roughly 4.6 miles, and we regularly run out to Concord, Vallejo and Hayward. San Francisco is about ten miles across the bridge, and we cover that too. Tell us your address when you call and we'll confirm.
What does a repair visit cost?
You approve a written quote before any work starts: visit, parts and labor. No surprises on the invoice.
What brands can you service?
Whirlpool, Samsung, LG, GE, Maytag, Bosch, KitchenAid, Frigidaire, Kenmore, Electrolux and more, gas and electric, as an independent repair company.
How it works
- Step 1
Tell us the symptom
Call us or fill out the form and describe what you're hearing, seeing or smelling. Brand and rough age help. We ask a few questions up front so the likely parts ride along in the van.
- Step 2
We come look
A technician shows up in the window we set, pulls the unit out and tests it. Tight basement stairs and low bungalow ceilings are ordinary to us. You'll hear what's wrong before anything gets replaced.
- Step 3
You decide, we repair
We walk you through the fix and what it involves, then wait for your go-ahead. Most common parts are already on the truck. If something has to be ordered, we tell you the plan and follow up.

Why homeowners call us
- Damp-house know-howPortland laundry rooms grow mildew and basements stay wet. We know what moisture does to dryer vents, washer parts and control boards, so before we call a repair done we look at the room around the machine too.
- Unhurried visitsA rushed diagnostic misses things. We take the extra minutes to pull the panel, look behind the drum and test the drain line. Then we tell you plainly what failed and whether fixing it makes sense on that appliance.
- Every major brandWe're an independent shop, so the whole kitchen and laundry room is fair game: washers, dryers, refrigerators, ranges, ovens, dishwashers, freezers and disposals. A twenty-year-old unit gets the same careful look as a new digital one.
- Wide service reachHomeowners in five Western states reach us the same way. City bungalow, suburban split-level, a house down a gravel road. We set a visit and arrive with tools and common parts ready.
- All major brands, gas & electricOne independent crew for Whirlpool, Samsung, GE, LG, Maytag, Bosch and more.
- Straight answersWhen a repair doesn't make sense, we tell you, sometimes before we even roll a truck.
