We start with this one because it ended with a warning rather than a clean fix. The stories below come from ZIPs 90026 and 90039. Two of those addresses sit on the Echo Park side of the line, and both stories say so in their headers.

The call
The right-hand door had dropped out of its hinge. The customer had already pushed it back up a couple of weeks earlier by turning the adjustment screw at the bottom of the door, and it had dropped again. They suspected it needed something more than another turn of the screw.
Found
They were right. The right door’s hinges were bent, and the technician’s note adds that “the body was curved.”
Done
No new part. Our technician adjusted and reworked the hinges as far as they would go, to get the door working properly again.
Told them
The adjustment was at its limit. If the door drops again, the only option left is replacing the refrigerator, and that warning is written into the job notes.
Refrigerators
One fan for about $410. One sealed system for about $1,955.
Both fridges were booked with almost nothing to go on: one just said “GE Profile refrigerator,” the other said the Sub-Zero had stopped running. What separates the two bills is how deep into the cooling system the fault went.

GE Profile PYE22KYNBFS: cooling trouble
Found
The fridge wasn’t cooling properly. Our technician’s read was that the evaporator fan was likely at fault.
Done
A new evaporator fan, a genuine OEM part, went in to restore airflow through the cabinet.
This fridge’s label: GE Appliances, model PYE22KYNBFS, R134a refrigerant, 5 oz charge.

Sub-Zero 700TCI built-in: stopped running
Found
Diagnosed on the 16th. The fix called for sealed-system service, plus a condenser coil cleaning and a new condenser fan motor to improve airflow and keep it from overheating.
Done
Job completed on the 22nd: condenser coil cleaned, new condenser fan motor and filter drier, access valve fitted, the remaining refrigerant recovered, the system flushed with nitrogen and brazed, then pulled into vacuum and recharged.
The rating plate above the hinge rail: model 700TCI 2, R134a, separate charges for fridge and freezer.
If the oven won’t bake, we look at the igniter first.
17% / 6%
Igniter and burner faults, as a share of the Silver Lake-area jobs where we logged the fault, against the figure for all our jobs combined. Of the faults we compared, this is the one complaint that clearly shows up more often here.
Two of those jobs, about twenty months apart, on two different makes of gas range:

Whirlpool WFG505M0BS3 five-burner range
Found
The oven’s burner igniter had failed.
Done
Igniter replaced on that visit. With the oven floor lifted out, we watched the igniter heat up and the bake burner catch.
Oven floor out: the igniter glowing orange, burner not yet alight.Seconds later: blue flame running along the burner tube.

Done
New bake igniter, fitted on the same visit.
The range on this call: white Frigidaire, four burners, wood floor.Its plate, inside the drawer opening: model FGF326ASA, natural gas.
Our oven and range page covers gas and electric ovens across the whole area.
Oven stays cold, fridge warming up, door hanging wrong? Ring us, or book online. The first step is an $85 diagnosis; the repair waits until you have read our written price and said yes.
Two dishwashers, and what we found in the drain line.

Wouldn’t drain properly: the trouble was in the drain line
We cleaned out the dishwasher’s drain line, and it drained properly afterwards. For the line from the garbage disposal onward, we recommended having a plumber clean it further to head off the next blockage.

Another drain line, this one plugged with plastic
The technician’s note from this visit is a single line: the dishwasher’s drain line was clogged with a piece of plastic and food. For other drain and pump jobs, see the dishwasher page.

Cost and terms
What a Silver Lake-area repair tends to cost.
Of our completed bills over $100 in these two ZIPs, the middle one was $370, and half of them fell between $255 and $460. That is about the same as our area-wide middle figure of $365. We don’t print a price per appliance for Silver Lake, because no single appliance here has enough bills behind it to be fair. The pricing page has those figures for the area as a whole.
$85 diagnostic, which counts toward the repair when you approve it · written estimate first · OEM parts · warranty of 1 year on parts, 30 days on our labor · BBB A+ · CA BEAR #49435 · repairing appliances since 2012; we don’t do installations · we work on commercial laundry machines, but not restaurant or kitchen equipment · our office: Suite 248, 201 N. Brand Blvd, Glendale.
