Kenmore repair in Boca Raton
Country club communities and coastal buildings, with equipment ranging from legacy series to units installed last year. The model number tells us which conversation we are having.
We cover Boca Raton and the rest of Palm Beach: an on-site diagnostic first, the price agreed in writing before anything is opened, and the exact figure confirmed once we have seen the unit.
By unit
What we repair in Boca Raton, by Kenmore unit
Start with whichever matches yours. How an appliance is installed shapes the visit as much as the repair does, which is why we ask about it when you book.

Electric and gas · 110, 796 and 417 Kenmore dryer repair in Boca Raton
Electric and gas dryers built by Whirlpool, LG and Frigidaire under the badge. On this appliance the single most useful thing we can tell you is that a large share of no-heat and long-cycle calls are the vent rather than the dryer — and in South Florida houses the vent runs are longer, flatter and wetter than the ones these machines were designed around.
- 110 is Whirlpool-built, 796 is LG-built, 417 is Frigidaire-built
- The vent causes more of these calls than any part does
- Gas and electric fail in different places
-
Standalone and undercounter · a machine of its own Kenmore ice maker repair in Boca Raton
Standalone and undercounter ice makers, which are a separate appliance from the ice maker built into a refrigerator door. They have their own compressor, their own water path and their own harvest mechanism, and they are designed to run continuously rather than in the background. In South Florida that means they run almost every hour of the year, on water that is hard enough to change how they behave within months.
- A machine in its own right, not a refrigerator part
- Mineral buildup is the common ending here
- Which stage the cycle stops at is the diagnosis
-
Under-cabinet and chimney · ducted and recirculating Kenmore range hood repair in Boca Raton
Under-cabinet and chimney hoods, and this is the one appliance on the badge with a ventilation specialist behind it — the 233 prefix is Broan. There is not much to a hood: a motor, a switch, a lamp and a path for the air. Which is why most of what we are called about turns out to be the duct or the filters rather than the hood.
- 233 is Broan-built — a ventilation maker, not an appliance one
- Most complaints are the duct or the filters
- Recirculating hoods cannot extract, by design
-
Freestanding and slide-in · gas and electric Kenmore range repair in Boca Raton
Freestanding and slide-in ranges, gas and electric. 790 is the number we see most and it is Frigidaire-built; 362 turns up on GE-built ranges and 911 on another range family altogether. A range is the appliance a household notices fastest when it stops, and it is also the one where the difference between a sensor, an element and a control board is the difference between a modest repair and a conversation about replacing it.
- 790 is Frigidaire, 362 is GE, 911 is a range prefix too
- Oven sensor and bake element are most of the calls
- Gas surface problems are usually the igniter, not the valve
-
Built-in · Kenmore and Kenmore Elite Kenmore dishwasher repair in Boca Raton
Built-in dishwashers. 665 is the number on most of the plates we see and it is Whirlpool-built; 587 is Frigidaire and 630 is Bosch, and all three turn up in South Florida kitchens. Whirlpool publishes a real code scheme for these, which makes a dishwasher one of the more readable appliances on this badge — provided you read the code against the right builder's table.
- 665 is Whirlpool, 587 is Frigidaire, 630 is Bosch
- Drainage and wash performance are most of the calls
- The code on the display is Whirlpool's code
-
French door · side-by-side · top and bottom freezer Kenmore refrigerator repair in Boca Raton
The appliance the badge is best known for, and the one where knowing who built it changes the repair most. A Kenmore refrigerator in a South Florida kitchen is a Whirlpool, a Frigidaire or an LG underneath, and the first three digits of the model number say which. That decides the parts, the diagnostic sequence and whether there is a published code table to read at all — so it is the first thing we ask for.
- 106 is Whirlpool, 253 is Frigidaire, 795 is LG
- Ice, water and the defrost circuit are most of the call volume
- The parts catalog is the builder's, not the badge's
By job
The repairs we are called out for in Boca Raton
Starting figures for this equipment in South Florida. What moves them is the model, the access and the part — the exact cost is confirmed after the on-site diagnostic.
-
from $155 Washer leak repair
Water on the floor, which is rarely where the leak is. We work from where it lands back to where it comes from — the door gasket, the dispenser, the hoses, the tub seal — because a leak diagnosed by the puddle is a leak diagnosed wrong.
- Traced back rather than guessed at
- Fill hoses checked while we are there, every time
- The gasket fold is a local suspect here
-
from $125 Dishwasher wash performance service
Dishes coming out gritty, filmed or still wet. A large share of these are water, detergent and loading rather than the machine — and on South Florida water the film complaint in particular is usually chemistry rather than a component.
- Water temperature measured at the machine
- Spray arms and filter before any part
- Hard water addressed as hard water
-
from $155 Ice machine cleaning and descaling
The service that keeps a standalone ice machine alive in South Florida. Mineral collects on exactly the surfaces the machine depends on, output falls month by month without the machine ever stopping, and the interval printed in the manual assumes gentler water than we have.
- Output measured before and after
- The maker's own cleaner, on the maker's own cycle
- The cheapest service here and the most preventive
-
from $115 Water dispenser and filter service
Slow water, no water, or a dispenser that has started dribbling. Cartridges here give up sooner than the calendar on the box suggests, and a good number of these calls finish with a fresh filter and a flushed line rather than a component.
- The filter and the line before the valve
- Local water shortens every published interval
- The line inside the door checked, not assumed
-
from $145 Appliance installation
Connection, leveling and a working test, done so the appliance does not spend its life fighting its installation. Half the calls we take about a new appliance are about how it went in: a drain hose without a high loop, a dryer vent crushed behind the machine, a refrigerator with no clearance at the back.
- Leveled and tested rather than plugged in
- Gas and stacked installations quoted on the job
- The install decides how the appliance ages
-
from $265 Appliance control board repair
The repair we rule in last and quote most carefully. A control board is the most expensive single part on most of these appliances, it is the easiest thing to blame, and on a mass-market unit it is the repair where replacing the appliance sometimes wins. We will say which.
- Ruled in by measurement, never by elimination
- Storm-season damage is a real local cause
- An honest replace-instead answer where it applies

What Kenmore equipment is like in Boca Raton
Country club communities and coastal buildings, with equipment ranging from legacy series to units installed last year. The model number tells us which conversation we are having.
Boca Raton sits in Palm Beach County, and the equipment here follows the housing: older kitchens with appliances fitted into openings that were cut for something else, and newer ones where they were specified with the cabinetry. Both are Kenmore work — cooktops, dishwashers, dryers — and both are diagnosed on site before anything is priced.
Heat, dust and power cuts — what they do to a kitchen full of appliances
Inland the enemy is heat, dust and grease rather than salt. Condensers run hard for more months of the year here than almost anywhere else in the country, and grease that condenses in a hood liner instead of leaving through it comes back as a fan that labors. In Boca Raton the appliances we are called out to are usually working exactly as designed — in conditions nobody designed them for.
What that means for the appliances in Boca Raton
- Access is arranged in advance — the gate, the guard list and sometimes the association — and we book it as part of the appointment rather than discovering it at the entrance.
- The housing here spans decades and so does the equipment in it. The model number decides which conversation we are having, which is why it is the first thing we ask for.
- Standalone ice maker making less ice
- Oven not heating
- Dishwasher not cleaning
- One cooktop burner not working
- Washer will not drain
How a visit in Boca Raton is arranged
We ask for the model number from the plate inside the door and a line about what the appliance is doing. That decides which parts ride in the van, and it is the difference between one appointment and two.
- How the appliance is built in, and whether it has ever been pulled out before
- Whether there is a second one — a bar, a pantry, a garage or an outdoor kitchen
- Whether the doors are paneled to match the cabinetry, which changes how they come off and go back
- The diagnosis first, then the scope and the price in writing, and your approval before anything is opened
What it costs, and what moves the figure
Prices in Boca Raton are the same as everywhere else we cover: a diagnostic from $95 that is credited toward the repair, and starting figures per job rather than one number for "a repair". What moves it is the model, how the appliance is built into the cabinetry, which part it needs and how quickly that part can be sourced — none of which can be judged over the phone. The repairs we carry out lists what each job involves and the figure it starts at, and the unit pages covers what tends to go wrong on each type.
The exact cost is confirmed after the on-site diagnostic and agreed with you before any work begins. We are an independent repair company — not affiliated with, authorized by, or endorsed by any manufacturer — and our warranty covers the labor we performed.
Before you book
Questions about a visit in Boca Raton
Do you cover Boca Raton?
Yes. Boca Raton is in Palm Beach County and inside the area we work every week. Give us the address when you book, and say how the Kenmore is installed — what has to come apart to reach it matters as much as where it is.
How soon can you get to Boca Raton?
We will tell you the earliest slot we can genuinely keep rather than the earliest one that sounds good. Tell us the model number and what the unit is doing when you book: whether we can finish the same day depends on the part far more than on the drive.
Does it cost more because the job is in Boca Raton?
No. The diagnostic and the work are priced the same across Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach. What moves the figure is the model, how the unit is built in and which part it needs — never the address. Where access takes longer, we say so before anything is agreed rather than after.
My building has rules about service calls. What do you need?
The building name when you book, and anything it requires — a service elevator window, a loading bay slot, approved hours or a certificate of insurance. We arrange those in advance; found out on the day, they cost the appointment.
