Our Walnut Creek Appliance Repair Services
Award winning appliance repair since 2010
Lake Appliance Repair has been fixing refrigerators, washers, dryers, ovens and dishwashers across the East Bay since 2010. The work is done by our own technicians, on our own vans, on brands they are trained to service.
That is the whole business: a two-hour arrival window, a fixed price agreed before anything is opened up, and a repair that holds. Most of our calls now come from people we have already worked for, or from someone they told.
- Family owned since 2010
- Factory trained technicians
- EPA certified for sealed systems
- Licensed and insured
- Parts and labor warranty in writing
The Lake Appliance Repair difference
- A two-hour arrival window, and a text when the technician is on the way
- A fixed price you approve after diagnostics, before any work starts
- The parts that actually fail are already on the van, so most repairs finish on the first visit
- One technician owns your job from the first call to the final test
- Thirty days on labor and up to one year on the parts we use, printed on the invoice
- No charge for the service call when you go ahead with the repair
Why homeowners call us back
Why choose Lake Appliance Repair?
Same-day and next-day service
Call before noon and we will normally reach you the same day. Evening and Saturday appointments are available across the East Bay.
Trained on the brands you own
Sub-Zero, Wolf, Viking, Thermador, Miele, Bosch, LG, Samsung and the rest of the mainstream lines, with the service literature to match.
A price before the work
You get a flat quote after diagnostics. If you decide not to go ahead, you pay the service call and nothing more.
Parts on the van
We carry the parts that fail most often, which is why roughly three quarters of our repairs are finished in one visit.
Written warranty
Thirty days on labor, up to one year on the parts we install, on the invoice rather than in a verbal promise.
Sealed-system work in house
Compressors, condensers and refrigerant lines are handled by our own EPA-certified technicians, not sent out to a third party.
Straight answers on old machines
If a repair costs more than the appliance is worth, we say so and tell you what we would replace it with.
Clean work, every visit
Floors are covered, the old parts go with us, and the kitchen looks the way it did before we arrived.
One local team
The same technicians cover Walnut Creek, Lafayette, Orinda, Alamo, Danville, Pleasant Hill and Moraga. No call center, no subcontractors.

Appliance repair advice
What you are actually paying for in a diagnostic charge
It feels like paying somebody to look. Here is what the half hour consists of, and why the alternative costs you more.

Read moreFrequently asked questions
How soon can you get to my appliance?
Most repairs are scheduled within the same week. Refrigeration is moved ahead of everything else because food is at stake. You are given an arrival window when you book rather than being told to wait in all day.
How much does appliance repair cost in Walnut Creek?
Most repairs run $150 to $400 depending on the appliance, the brand and the part. Starting figures for every common problem are published on our pricing page, and your exact price is confirmed in writing during the diagnostic.
Which brands do you repair?
Every major brand in a Walnut Creek kitchen, including LG, Samsung, Whirlpool, Maytag, Frigidaire, KitchenAid and Bosch, plus the high-end built-in and panel-ready units most companies decline.
Do you repair built-in and panel-ready appliances?
Yes. Built-in refrigeration columns, wine cabinets, integrated dishwashers, wall ovens and undercounter units are core work, including the panel and hinge adjustment that has to follow any door service.
What warranty comes with the repair?
Both the parts we use and the labor are covered, in writing on your invoice. If the same problem returns inside that window we come back to it.
Is my appliance worth repairing?
We will tell you honestly. As a rule of thumb, if the repair costs more than half the price of a comparable new appliance and the unit is past two thirds of its expected life, replacement is the better spend, and we will say so rather than sell you the part.
Which parts of the East Bay do you cover?
Walnut Creek, Lafayette, Orinda, Alamo, Danville, Pleasant Hill and Moraga, plus the streets between them. Each area page on this site lists the neighborhoods and ZIP codes we work in.
Do you charge for the service call?
The service call covers the trip and the diagnostics. Go ahead with the repair and it comes off the bill, so you pay for the work rather than the visit.
