Kenmore repair in Hollywood
From bungalows near the beach to newer buildings inland, with the salt exposure dropping off the further west you are. It changes what we check first.
We cover Hollywood and the rest of Broward: 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 Hollywood, 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.

Standalone and undercounter · a machine of its own Kenmore ice maker repair in Hollywood
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
-
Electric and gas · 110, 796 and 417 Kenmore dryer repair in Hollywood
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
-
Gas, radiant and induction · drop-in Kenmore cooktop repair in Hollywood
Drop-in cooktops — gas, radiant electric and induction. A cooktop is the simplest appliance in the kitchen on gas and one of the most electronic on induction, and the two share almost nothing but the hole they sit in. What they do share is that a single dead zone is usually a component rather than the whole appliance.
- One dead zone is rarely the whole cooktop
- Gas is mechanical, induction is electronic
- The glass itself is the one part we cannot repair
-
Upright and chest · garage and utility room Kenmore freezer repair in Hollywood
Standalone uprights and chest freezers, most of them Frigidaire-built or Whirlpool-built, and most of them living somewhere hot: a garage, a utility room, a covered porch. That location is half the diagnosis. A freezer asked to hold zero degrees in a garage that reaches ninety-five is working at the edge of what it was designed for, and it fails differently from one in a kitchen.
- 253 is Frigidaire-built, 106 is Whirlpool-built
- Where it lives decides how it fails here
- Manual-defrost chest units have no defrost circuit to blame
-
Top-load and front-load · 110 and 796 Kenmore washer repair in Hollywood
Laundry is where the decode matters most, because a Kenmore washer can be a Whirlpool, an an LG, and those are two genuinely different machines. A 110 and a 796 do not share a pump, a control board, a diagnostic sequence or a code table, and they do not fail the same way. The model number is not a formality on this appliance — it is the difference between the right visit and the wrong one.
- 110 is Whirlpool-built, 796 is LG-built
- Drain, spin and leaks are most of what we see
- Two washers under one badge, and two code tables
-
Single and double · built into cabinetry Kenmore wall oven repair in Hollywood
Built-in wall ovens, single and double, mostly Frigidaire-built. What separates a wall oven from the oven in a range is not the cooking — it is the access. The appliance is fixed into joinery, often at height and often stacked with a microwave above it, and getting to the back of it is a real part of the job rather than a detail.
- Access is a genuine part of the work on these
- Sensor and element cover most of the calls
- A stacked installation changes the visit
By job
The repairs we are called out for in Hollywood
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 $235 Induction cooktop repair
An induction top that shuts down mid-cook, refuses a pan, or has lost a zone. More of these turn out to be heat and ventilation than electronics — the power stage lives under the glass and is cooled by a fan, and a cabinet that traps warm air makes a healthy cooktop protect itself.
- Ventilation checked before any board
- Pan compatibility is a real answer, not a brush-off
- One dead zone points at that zone's coil or driver
-
from $165 Dryer drum roller and belt repair
A dryer that squeals, thumps, or turns over without the drum moving. The belt, the rollers and the idler wear together and replacing one of the three on its own usually buys a few months.
- Belt rollers and idler replaced as a set
- The noise identified before anything is opened
- Cheap parts and a real amount of labor
-
from $135 Dishwasher door latch repair
A dishwasher that will not start, or that stops partway through, when the real problem is that the machine cannot confirm its door is shut. The latch and its switch are cheap and they fail far more often than a control board does.
- The commonest cause of a dishwasher that will not start
- Switch tested rather than the board blamed
- The door alignment checked in the same visit
-
from $155 Temperature sensor replacement
The component that fails without looking like anything. A sensor that reports the wrong number makes an appliance hold a temperature it is not at, confidently and without complaint — a refrigerator that is warm while the display says it is cold, or an oven that is consistently twenty-five degrees out.
- Measured against a reference, not against the display
- A consistent offset is its signature
- Cheap to replace and easy to misdiagnose
-
from $125 Appliance maintenance
Scheduled work in one visit rather than an emergency in three months. Condenser coils, door seals, filters, the dryer duct and the dishwasher drain path — the things that fail quietly here and take a component with them when they do. In this climate this is the service that changes the arithmetic most.
- Coils, seals, filters and the duct in one visit
- Priced below a diagnosis plus the repair it prevents
- The interval that suits South Florida rather than the manual
-
from $165 Surface igniter replacement
A gas burner that clicks and clicks and will not light. Clicking means the spark system is alive and trying, which rules out a great deal — and it is very often the burner cap seating or a blocked port rather than the igniter at all.
- Cap seating and ports checked first, for free
- Igniter tested rather than assumed
- The gas valve is rarely the answer

What Kenmore equipment is like in Hollywood
From bungalows near the beach to newer buildings inland, with the salt exposure dropping off the further west you are. It changes what we check first.
Hollywood sits in Broward 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.
Salt, heat and storms — what they do to a kitchen full of appliances
Close to the water everything ages from the outside in. Salt corrodes the condenser coils and fan motors on the cold side and reaches burner caps, grates and igniters on the hot side, and both fail in the same way: a part that still works, slowly, until the day it does not. In Hollywood that turns a cleaning interval into a seasonal job rather than an annual one, on both halves of the kitchen.
What that means for the appliances in Hollywood
- Range hoods — Almost nothing in a tower vents outside, so the hood recirculates and lives entirely on a charcoal filter — a consumable most owners have never been told about, and the reason a healthy-sounding hood can move nothing at all.
- Refrigerators — A refrigerator in a tower has less air around it and a warmer cabinet behind it than the same unit in a house, so the condenser matters more here and the cleaning interval is shorter than the manual assumes.
- Cooktops — Induction is common in these buildings because a gas line often is not, and an induction top under a counter needs the ventilation gap the instructions specify — which a full drawer removes without anybody noticing.
- Ice maker not making ice
- Refrigerator leaking water
- Frost building up in the freezer
- Standalone ice maker making less ice
- Dishwasher not draining
How a visit in Hollywood 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.
- In a building: the service elevator window, the loading bay and the hours contractors are allowed to work
- Behind a gate: how visitors are cleared, arranged before the appointment rather than at it
- 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 Hollywood 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 Hollywood
Do you cover Hollywood?
Yes. Hollywood is in Broward 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 Hollywood?
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 Hollywood?
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.
