Kitchen appliances we have opened up in Simi Valley, told from the technicians’ notes: three gas ovens that wouldn’t heat, two refrigerators, and the shorter visits in between. Washers and dryers have their own Simi Valley page.
Three Simi Valley gas ranges came to us with almost the same complaint. Read across: the booking, what the technician recorded, and what the invoice came to. Totals are rounded to $5.




Refrigerator bills in Simi Valley run higher than across the rest of our area (more on that below). These two show what the pricier fridge repairs involve.
The booking said the freezer was fine, the fresh-food side was running warm and the ice maker had stopped. The technician wrote up two faults: the defrost system wasn’t doing its job, so ice had built up on the evaporator coils and was choking the airflow to the fridge compartment; and a relay on the main control board had failed, which was also upsetting the water dispenser.


The rating label put this LG’s production date at May 2021, so it was not yet four years old when it stopped cooling. The compressor had failed, and there was a restriction in the sealed system as well.
The note ends with the refrigerator working as expected. We don’t show a price for this one: the way it was billed doesn’t compare with an ordinary invoice.

Two were quick part repairs. In the other two, the right answer wasn’t an appliance repair.
| When | Appliance | Complaint | What we found and did | Billed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nov 2025 93063 | GE built-in dishwasher, GDF460PGT3WW | Not washing | The technician’s note pointed to the water level sensor; a faulty one can keep a dishwasher from filling and running. We replaced the sensor. | about $270 |
| Aug 2026 93065 | Whirlpool microwave over wall oven, WOC54EC7AS04 | Loud noise when the microwave was switched on | The work recorded is a waveguide repair. The note doesn’t list a part, so neither do we. | about $240 |
| Oct 2026 Simi Valley | Frigidaire electric range | Neither the cooktop nor the oven worked | The range wasn’t the problem: there was no 240 volts at the outlet, and fixing that needs an electrician. | $85 diagnostic only |
| Jul 2025 93065 | LG refrigerator | Booked as just “LG refrigerator” | Significant cosmetic damage, and a damaged body frame that can’t be replaced. The customer said it had been moved on its side, which can push compressor oil into the lines and cause restrictions. We advised replacing it rather than paying for a repair. | $85 diagnostic only |


Most of what we track in Simi Valley looks like the rest of our area: the same mix of appliances, and an overall median bill within $15 of the area figure. These are the measures where Simi Valley stands apart.
| Measure | Simi Valley | All areas we serve | What it looks like on the ground |
|---|---|---|---|
| Refrigerator repair, median bill | $470 | $425 | The middle half of Simi Valley fridge bills ran $350 to $875, against $300 to $690 area-wide. The GE Profile control-board job above, at about $890, sits just past the top of that range. |
| All repairs, median bill | $350 | $365 | About the same. Washer ($375) and dryer ($335) medians are also within $10 of the area figures. |
| High-end brands (Sub-Zero, Miele, Thermador, Monogram, Wolf, Viking and the like) | 4% | 12% | A third of the area share. The brands we see most here are LG, Samsung, Whirlpool and GE. |
| Whirlpool | 18% | 10% | Nearly double, and not only in the laundry room: the five-burner range and the microwave combination above are both Whirlpools. |
| Water leak as the complaint | 7% | 14% | Half as often. On refrigerators alone it is 12% here against 19%. Our records don’t tell us why. |
| “Won’t start” or no power | 20% | 15% | The most common complaint here. |
Completed jobs at Simi Valley addresses (ZIPs 93063 and 93065) from November 2024 to November 2026, against every completed job in our service area. Bills are invoice totals over $100, including parts, labor and the credited $85 diagnostic, rounded to $5; the refrigerator, washer and dryer figures use only invoices for a single appliance. Brand shares count jobs where a brand was recorded; complaint shares count jobs where the complaint could be classified, a smaller set, so small gaps there mean little. Dishwasher and oven medians are left out: too few Simi Valley invoices.

“I called for an electrical surge issue (and related odor) and Mark persevered and also found an unrelated and potentially worse issue . Fair price and he was here within an hour or so of my call”
