Six finished North Hollywood jobs, grouped by the situation the owner was in when they called. Each one is told from the technician’s notes and photos. Prices are the full bill, rounded to $5, with the $85 diagnostic inside it. We give the month and ZIP code and nothing else about the home.
Sep 30 & Oct 2, 2024 · GE Profile gas range · 91601 · about $415
Popping on bake, and a note about a leaking regulator
The owner of this GE Profile PGB911SEJ4SS heard a popping sound whenever the oven was baking. The gas company had already visited and left a note about a leaking regulator.
Our technician found a faulty bake burner igniter. He then went over the gas connections with an electronic leak detector, behind the range at the flex connector and under the oven floor at the gas valve. He found no leak. He left the range’s gas valve off, for the gas company to check and turn back on.
The job took two visits, and the bill came to about $415.

Signs of mice, and two very different endings.
Nov 2024 · Maytag gas range · 91601 · about $260
An oven that wouldn’t bake, because a mouse had chewed the igniter wire
The oven on this Maytag MGR6600FZ1 gas range wouldn’t bake. Once the technician had the oven floor out, the cause was plain. A mouse had chewed through the insulation on the bake igniter wire, and the bare strands were showing near the clip.
He fixed the damaged igniter wiring on the same visit. His photos from that evening include the bake burner lit along the whole tube.

Sep 2026 · Whirlpool fridge, LG microwave, LG dishwasher · 91601 · about $310
Several appliances on one call, and the advice was to wait
The booking listed a Whirlpool refrigerator that wasn’t cooling, plus an LG microwave and an LG dishwasher. In the refrigerator’s compressor compartment the technician found droppings and nesting material. The microwave had the same kind of contamination and damage. The dishwasher had a separate fault: its circulation pump had failed.
He advised against any repairs for now. With rodents still active, a new part could be damaged again almost straight away. His recommendation was professional rodent removal and a clean-up of the appliances and the areas around them first. After that, the dishwasher pump could be replaced, and the fridge and microwave checked for damage to wiring, insulation or components.
No repairs were done on this visit; the bill came to about $310. There is no later visit on our records, so we don’t know how it ended.

May 19 & 21, 2026 · Thermador pro range · 91605 · about $1,080
Blinking 4 and 3 after preheat on a Thermador PRG366GH
After the oven on this six-burner Thermador preheated, the display blinked 4 and 3. Our technician read that as a fault in the feedback, or communication, from the cooling fan.
The cooling fan was running, though. That left two suspects: a blower motor failing on and off, or a control board that wasn’t reading the fan’s signal properly. The symptom couldn’t tell them apart. So the written quote covered both, a new cooling blower motor and the control board service kit, to get the cooling fan working properly again and prevent errors and overheating shut-downs.
We fitted both two days later, along with a new center grate assembly the owner had asked for. More on these ranges on our Thermador repair page.

Two failed compressors, two different answers.
Jun 2026 · LG InstaView refrigerator · 91606 · about $850
A failed compressor, replaced with a part covered by warranty
This LG French-door fridge had a failed compressor. The replacement compressor was supplied under warranty. The quote was for the sealed-system work around it: recovering the old refrigerant, changing the compressor, fitting a new filter drier and an access valve, purging the system with nitrogen, brazing the joints, then pulling a vacuum and recharging with the correct refrigerant. The control board firmware was updated as well.
When the rear cover came off, the condenser coil was matted with lint, and the vent slots in the cover were packed with it. Cleaning the coil was part of the job, to help it run efficiently and to help protect the new compressor. Our LG repair page has more LG fridge jobs.

Sep 2024 · Frigidaire refrigerator · 91606 · $85
A Frigidaire where a new compressor might not pay off
This fridge had stopped cooling, and the diagnosis was a compressor that needed replacing. The technician set the cost of that repair against what the fridge was worth and told the owner it might not be worth doing. The visit ended there, at the $85 diagnostic. If you are weighing the same question, see repair or replace.
North Hollywood beside our whole service area
More fridges, more leaks, smaller fridge bills.
“North Hollywood” here means completed jobs on our North Hollywood job sheet, July 2024 to November 2026. That sheet also holds some jobs in Valley Village (91607) and Studio City (91604) ZIP codes, which move these figures very little. Each share counts only the jobs where the appliance, the fault or the brand was written down.
Refrigerators, as a share of calls
North Hollywood39%
Whole area31%
About two calls in five here are about a refrigerator. Across our area it’s fewer than one in three.

North Hollywood23%
Whole area14%
A leak is the most common complaint on our North Hollywood sheet. Across the whole area, an appliance not cooling comes first. On refrigerators alone, leaks come up in roughly a third of the calls here against about a fifth area-wide, but that refrigerator sample is small, so read it as a lean.
Addresses with a unit number

What repairs have cost here
The median completed North Hollywood repair, counting invoices over $100 with the diagnostic included, is $330. The middle half ran from $270 to $435. Across the whole area the median is $365. Refrigerators show the biggest gap: $330 here against $425 area-wide. We don’t yet have enough North Hollywood invoices for washers, dryers, dishwashers or ovens to give each its own figure.
Google reviews
Three North Hollywood customers, exactly as they wrote it.
“I appreciated that they were able to come out to repair my dishwasher so quickly. Their repairman (unfortunately I don’t know his name) was prompt, efficient in diagnosing the issue and best of all, had the necessary replacement part on his truck so he could fix it right away. I am more than grateful that I chose A&Y Appliances and would definitely recommend them.”
