Appliance Repair Services
San Marcos Appliance Repair diagnoses and repairs kitchen, laundry, and commercial appliances throughout San Marcos and North San Diego County, backed by a 90-day parts-and-labor warranty on every completed job.
How It Works
Every repair, from a home refrigerator to a commercial walk-in cooler, follows the same process.
Every Appliance Type Repaired
San Marcos Appliance Repair sources parts for both residential brands and commercial foodservice equipment, so one call covers a home kitchen range and a restaurant's reach-in cooler alike.
Kitchen Appliance Repair
San Marcos Appliance Repair diagnoses and repairs refrigerators, freezers, ice makers, wine coolers, and specialty cooling units including walk-in coolers and kegerators. Common calls include a refrigerator that has stopped cooling, a freezer building up frost, an ice maker that has stopped producing, a failing door seal, or a compressor that cycles constantly without holding temperature. A technician tests the compressor, evaporator, and control board on-site before recommending a repair, so the diagnosis matches the actual failure instead of a guess.

Ranges, ovens, cooktops, microwaves, range hoods, and specialty cooking equipment all fall under this category. Typical issues include a burner that does not ignite, an oven that runs hot or cold against its set temperature, a control board that has stopped responding, or a range hood that has lost suction. San Marcos Appliance Repair carries common igniters, thermostats, and control boards for major residential and commercial brands, which keeps most cooking-appliance repairs to a single visit.

This category covers dishwashers, garbage disposals, trash compactors, and commercial sanitizers. San Marcos Appliance Repair fixes dishwashers that do not drain, leave dishes dirty, leak from the door seal, or fail to start, along with disposals that hum without turning and compactors that jam mid-cycle. Commercial kitchens get the same standard: a sanitizer that falls out of temperature range gets diagnosed and repaired the same way a home dishwasher does, just with commercial-grade parts.

Washers, dryers, commercial extractors, and laundromat equipment are all serviced under this category. Common repairs include a washer that does not spin or drain, a dryer that runs without heat, a drum belt that has snapped, and units that vibrate or make noise partway through a cycle. San Marcos Appliance Repair services both residential laundry rooms and commercial laundromats, so the same technician who fixes a home dryer can also service a bank of coin-operated extractors.

Restaurants, hospitality properties, and medical or lab facilities call San Marcos Appliance Repair for reach-in coolers, walk-in coolers and freezers, commercial dishwashers, ice machines, and refrigeration used to store temperature-sensitive materials. Because downtime on this equipment affects a business directly, San Marcos Appliance Repair prioritizes same-day dispatch for commercial and institutional accounts and stocks parts for major foodservice brands including True Manufacturing, Hoshizaki, Hobart, and Manitowoc.

Appliance Repair Pricing
San Marcos Appliance Repair prices residential repairs between $100 and $400 and commercial repairs between $150 and $600 or more, with the appliance, the failed part, and the setting — home kitchen versus commercial kitchen — setting the exact cost. Residential jobs are billed at a flat rate or $70-$150 per hour plus a $50-$150 diagnostic fee, waived on most completed repairs. Commercial jobs are billed at $100-$200+ per hour and typically add travel fees and higher part costs, since foodservice and institutional equipment runs on specialized components and urgent dispatch. The ranges below cover parts and labor for the most common repair per appliance type. Call 760-621-5157 for an exact quote on your unit.
