Appliance Repair in Berkeley, CA
Refrigerator, laundry, dishwasher and range repair for Berkeley homes, with the phone answered around the clock. Call (510) 949-4080.
Repair help for Berkeley kitchens and laundry rooms
Berkeley Appliance Repair Pros works on the appliances that keep a Berkeley household running, from a refrigerator squeezed into an older kitchen to a stacked washer and dryer in an apartment. Someone answers (510) 949-4080 at any hour, every day of the week, so a freezer that starts thawing late on a Sunday is treated as an emergency appliance repair call. Describe what the machine is doing and the brand. The technician tests it, tells you what failed and what the fix involves, and you decide before work starts.
Appliances and brands we repair
Problems we see most often:
- Refrigerator repair: a control panel that will not respond, temperatures that swing from day to day and water pooling under the crisper drawers.
- Washer and dryer repair: a dryer that tumbles but stays cold and a burning smell from the dryer.
- Dishwasher repair: detergent left in the dispenser and a machine that will not start.
- Stove and oven repair: a glass cooktop burner that stays off and a burner that clicks but will not light.
- Microwaves: a display that goes blank and a microwave that runs but leaves food cold.
- Ice makers: a fill valve that drips and a bin that fills with one frozen block.
Brands we work on include Bosch, Frigidaire, GE, Kenmore, KitchenAid, LG, Maytag, Miele, Samsung and Whirlpool.

Berkeley water, weather and older homes
EBMUD says its water runs from 1 to 7 grains per gallon, mostly Mokelumne River snowmelt, so scale is rarely the issue. If a front loader leaves suds or film, use less detergent and set the dishwasher hardness low. Census Bureau survey figures for 2020 to 2024 put Berkeley’s median year built at 1944, so older kitchens may have tight openings and older outlets; we check both. The NOAA station in Berkeley, about 2 miles from the city center, has a July normal high of 74.2 F (1991 to 2020 normals). A fridge that runs nonstop in that climate usually has dirty coils, a failing fan or a torn seal.

All of them on our list: 94702 through 94705, 94707 through 94710, and 94720. Albany, Emeryville, Oakland and El Cerrito are covered too.
My freezer quit at 11 p.m. Is that an emergency appliance repair call?
Yes. We pick up (510) 949-4080 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and technicians go out nights and weekends. We will tell you the earliest time we can be there.
Should I worry about scale from Berkeley water?
Usually not. EBMUD lists its water at 1 to 7 grains per gallon, which is soft. Detergent buildup is the more common issue, so measure carefully.
