Our Samsung fridge stopped cooling overnight. Called Max Fixing and they sent someone out same day. The technician was professional, explained everything clearly, and had us back up and running in under 2 hours. Pricing was fair and transparent. Highly recommend!
Washer was making a horrible noise. The tech arrived on time, diagnosed the issue quickly (worn bearing), and completed the repair efficiently. Very knowledgeable and reasonably priced. Will definitely use them again.
Had an issue with our GE dishwasher not draining. Max Fixing came out the next day, fixed it within an hour, and cleaned up everything. The technician was courteous and explained what caused the problem. Great service!
Our LG dryer stopped heating. Called Max Fixing and they were able to fit us in the same day. The repair was done professionally and the price was exactly what they quoted over the phone. Very satisfied with the service.
Excellent service! Our Whirlpool refrigerator was leaking water. The technician arrived within the scheduled window, quickly identified the problem, and had the parts needed in his truck. Fixed it on the spot. Very pleased!
Called them for our Maytag washer that wouldn't spin. They came out same day, tech was friendly and professional. Fixed the issue and gave us maintenance tips to prevent future problems. Fair pricing too. Would recommend!
Our KitchenAid oven stopped working right before Thanksgiving. Max Fixing saved the day! Same-day service, professional technician, and reasonable rates. We were so relieved. Thank you!
Had them fix our dishwasher last year and they did such a great job we called them again for our fridge. Always reliable, professional, and fair pricing. They're our go-to for all appliance repairs now.
Very responsive and professional. Our freezer stopped working and they came out within hours. The technician was knowledgeable and explained everything clearly. Repair was done quickly and hasn't had any issues since.
Ocean Park apartments near Lincoln Boulevard see this constantly: a KitchenAid french-door running warm because the condenser coils are packed with lint and salt-air grime. Santa Monica's marine layer keeps temps mild, but humidity and LA's notoriously hard municipal water wreak quiet havoc on ice makers and water lines year-round. Call us at (323) 870-4790 — we run the 10 Freeway daily and can usually be there within 2 hours.
The 90405 zip code — Sunset Park south of Pico — is dense with 1950s and 1960s duplexes where kitchens were designed for compact 24-inch refrigerators. Newer condo towers on Wilshire near 90403 swing the opposite direction: built-in Sub-Zero column units behind cabinet panels that require a panel removal just to access the evaporator. Street parking for a service van on these blocks is its own puzzle, so we call ahead and plan accordingly.
Common Refrigerator Issues in Santa Monica
Mineral Scale Killing Ice Makers in Hard-Water Zip Codes
Santa Monica pulls from the same LA DWP supply that averages 300+ mg/L total dissolved solids. That mineral load coats the ice maker assembly — specifically the water inlet valve screen and the fill tube — until water flow drops to a trickle or stops entirely. Samsung and LG french-door models with in-door ice are especially prone; we clean or replace the valve and flush the line in one visit.
Compressor Noise in Apartments with No Air Circulation
Older buildings in the 90401 and 90404 zip codes often have refrigerators wedged into alcoves with zero clearance on the sides and back. The condenser fan can't move enough air, the compressor runs hot, and you start hearing a rattling hum at 2 a.m. Bosch and KitchenAid counter-depth units are particularly sensitive to clearance — the fix is sometimes repositioning, sometimes a failing condenser fan motor swap.
Frost Buildup and Warm Spots From a Stuck Defrost Timer
A refrigerator that's cold on top but warm on the bottom shelf — or one growing a glacier on the back wall of the freezer — usually traces back to a defrost timer or a shorted defrost heater on the evaporator coil. Sub-Zero built-ins in Wilshire Montana homes show this failure pattern after 8-10 years. The error often doesn't throw a code, so it gets ignored until food starts spoiling.
Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can you get to Santa Monica for refrigerator repair?▼
We're typically in the area same-day. From our nearest tech on the Westside, Santa Monica is a 20-30 minute run depending on the 10. Tight parking blocks near the promenade or Main Street — we'll call you before arrival to coordinate. Schedule online or call (323) 870-4790.
Do you service Sub-Zero and Thermador refrigerators in Santa Monica?▼
Yes — Sub-Zero built-ins and Thermador columns are common in the 90402 zip (north of Montana). We carry the panel-removal tools these units require. Also handle KitchenAid, Bosch, LG, and Samsung regularly. Sub-Zero evaporator and thermostat work is our most common call in that corridor.
What does refrigerator repair usually cost, and do you charge a diagnostic fee?▼
Diagnostic runs $75, waived if you book the repair. Most fixes — door gasket, water inlet valve, thermal fuse, drain pump — land between $150 and $350 parts and labor. Compressor replacement on a unit under 8 years old we'll quote honestly; sometimes replacement makes more sense. Same-day and evening slots available — call (323) 870-4790.
