Three ZIP codes, 90046, 90069 and 90048, run across the West Hollywood line into Los Angeles proper, and some addresses inside the city are still written as “Los Angeles”. The Where column follows our map check of each address. Names, street addresses and unit numbers are left out.
Of the faults our notes name for this city, about one in four (24%) is a drain that won’t empty, close to double the area-wide 13%. Dishwasher calls make up 24% of the work here, also against 13% area-wide. Three of the four calls below were inside the city; the Sub-Zero was a Los Angeles address in the same 90069 ZIP code.
Booked as an LG dishwasher that wouldn’t drain, with some water still in the tub at the end of the cycle. The booking is marked as a recall, noting that a technician who had been out earlier didn’t find the issue.
On this visit the technician reconnected all of the connectors, reset the dishwasher, cleaned the interior thoroughly and did routine maintenance.
RepairedAbout $320
It was booked as a refrigerator leaking water. The technician’s list of suspects: an iced or clogged defrost drain, the drain tube, a misaligned or overflowing drain pan, the water inlet valve and its supply connections, and the ice maker fill tube.
The fix was in the drain line. He cleaned it out so defrost water could reach the drain pan again, cleaned the condenser coils, then tested until the fridge drained properly with no active leak. He finished on the same day the call was booked.
RepairedAbout $350
Water was leaking into the upper fresh-food compartment of a panel-ready Miele bottom-freezer. The upper shelf measured 38.8°F and the area by the lower drawer 32.9°F.
His write-up reads it as a defrost-system fault, typically a failed defrost heater together with a blocked or iced-over defrost drain line, which lets water overflow instead of reaching the drip tray. He also listed a replacement water filter and a cleaning of the condenser coil. That quote, about $1,685, wasn’t accepted, and only the $85 diagnostic was charged.

The owner listed three things: the ice maker wasn’t working, the air filter needed changing, and something smelled off. The technician traced the likely source of the smell to the drain pan under the unit, which was crusted with sediment.
We replaced the drain pan. For the ice, a new ice maker assembly went in along with the single water inlet valve that supplies it. We also fitted a new water filter and air purifier cartridge and cleaned the condenser coils. The fridge dates from January 2009, by its label. From booking to finished took four days.

Booked as a Whirlpool bottom-freezer (WRB322DMBM00) not getting cold. The fridge side read 69.8°F and the freezer 21.3°F. The diagnosis: refrigerant escaping from the sealed system.
Repairing that means a new freezer evaporator, compressor assembly, filter drier and charging valve, with the old refrigerant recovered, the joints welded and the system purged with nitrogen. We quoted about $1,285. No go-ahead came, so the $85 visit was the whole bill. That is a figure worth weighing against a new fridge, and the diagnostic is what gets you the figure.

Booked as a stove that wasn’t turning on, with an oven that wouldn’t heat up. The trouble started before the range: no gas was getting to it. The shut-off valve feeding it was very old and stuck, and the technician chose not to turn it, because it could have broken.
His advice was to have the gas company or a plumber replace the valve first, then call us back if the range still didn’t work. There’s no later visit on file, so the outcome isn’t in our records.
Stopped: gas supply$85 paidWhen the gas does reach the range, a cold oven is a different job. In October 2026 an Amana gas range at a Los Angeles address in 90046 had an oven that didn’t work; we replaced the igniter the same day, for about $400.
Shares of completed jobs in our West Hollywood file, set against the same share across every city we serve.
Bills run a little higher too: the median repair here is $410, and half of all bills land from $320 to $570, where the whole area’s median is $365. A dishwasher repair is the exception, at a median of $330 here against $320 overall. Two things don’t differ: about three in ten visits end with the quote not taken, here and everywhere, and refrigerators are a smaller slice here (24% of jobs, against 31%).
This page sticks to kitchens. Dryers are the appliance we’re called for most in this file, 29% of jobs against 23% area-wide; laundry calls get a separate West Hollywood page.
By the city field on our job records, more than half of the completed jobs in this file sit in the shared ZIP codes but on the Los Angeles side of the line, and that field isn’t always right (the Miele above is recorded as Los Angeles but sits inside the city). Leaving the Los Angeles-recorded jobs out moves the figures but not their direction: every share above stays well over the area-wide one, and the median bill stays close to $400. Brand percentages use only jobs with a recorded brand, complaint percentages only jobs with a recorded fault. Bills: completed invoices above $100, everything paid included (parts, labor, the diagnostic), rounded to $5.
