Frigidaire 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 Frigidaire 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 · gas · induction · dual fuel Frigidaire range repair in Hollywood
Eighty ranges, and all four fuels: 35 electric, 31 gas, 12 induction and two dual-fuel. That induction figure matters — this is not a make where the technology is absent, and a page or a photograph that pretended otherwise would be wrong about the catalog. The freestanding range is what most Frigidaire kitchens have, which means the appliance can be pulled out, the service access is decent and the parts channel is wide. What we attend divides cleanly: the cooking surface, the oven cavity, and the control that runs both.
- 80 ranges across electric, gas, induction and dual fuel
- Induction is genuinely part of this catalog — 12 ranges
- Freestanding means real service access and a wide parts channel

Top freezer · French door · side by side Frigidaire refrigerator repair in Hollywood
The deepest branch of this catalog by a distance: 142 cabinets, and the largest single family in everything Frigidaire currently sells is the plain top-freezer refrigerator — 55 of them. That number is the brand in one line. This is the refrigerator that came with the apartment, and half our calls are for a cabinet nobody chose. French door adds 44 and side-by-side 31, which is where the ice and water go wrong, and the two-cabinet compact and bottom-freezer families are small enough to name individually. In this climate the work concentrates on defrost, on door seals that never fully dry, and on condensers that live in salt air.
- 142 cabinets across five layouts — top freezer is the biggest family in the catalog
- French door and side-by-side bring the ice and water circuits most calls are about
- Defrost, seals and condensers do most of the failing in South Florida

Countertop · portable · bullet ice Frigidaire ice machine repair in Hollywood
Three models, all of them countertop: a portable machine you fill from a jug that makes bullet ice in a few minutes. It is worth being exact about that, because the phrase 'ice machine' means an undercounter cabinet with a drain and a condenser on other makes in this trade, and Frigidaire builds none. These are small appliances with a pump, a compressor, an evaporator of steel fingers and a water reservoir, and they fail in small-appliance ways: scale, a pump that has lost prime, a sensor that thinks the basket is full.
- Three countertop machines — this make builds no undercounter ice cabinet
- Bullet ice from a filled reservoir, not a plumbed circuit
- Scale, pump priming and the full-basket sensor cause most of it

Top load · front load · laundry centers Frigidaire washer repair in Hollywood
The current catalog carries two top-load washers and three laundry centers, and that thinness is worth saying out loud: Frigidaire's laundry line today is a fraction of its kitchen line. What we open in South Florida is mostly older — front-loaders from the years the badge sold them in volume, top-loaders in condominium closets, and stacked laundry centers in apartments where nothing else fits. The failures are the ones that come with age and with this climate: bearings, seals that never dry, pumps that meet a lint load nobody clears, and drains that back up in a shared stack.
- Nine current laundry machines in the whole catalog — two of them washers
- Most of what we service is older, and stacked centers are normal in condominiums
- Bearings, door seals, pumps and shared drains do the failing here

Single · double · microwave combination Frigidaire oven repair in Hollywood
Fifty wall ovens: 24 single, 16 double and ten microwave combinations. Unlike the freestanding range, these are built into a cabinet column, and that changes the job before anyone touches the appliance — the oven has to come out on its runners to be worked on, the cabinet has to take the weight, and on a double oven the upper cavity is at head height. The problems themselves are the familiar ones: heating, the sensor and calibration, the door and its hinges, and the lock that has to release before the door will open.
- 50 cavities — 24 single, 16 double, ten microwave combinations
- Built into a column, so access is planned before the visit rather than found
- Heating, sensor and calibration, door hinges and the lock
-
Upright · chest · single door Frigidaire freezer repair in Hollywood
Twenty-seven cabinets, and unusually for a volume brand the upright is the bigger half — 17 against three chest freezers and a small single-door family. In South Florida a standalone freezer usually lives in a garage or a utility room rather than a kitchen, which changes both what goes wrong and what a visit involves: ambient temperature well above what the cabinet was rated for, a condenser breathing dust, and a door that gets opened with wet hands in August. A freezer that is quietly running warm is the failure that costs the most, because nothing announces it until the food is gone.
- 27 cabinets — 17 upright, three chest, the rest single-door
- Most of them live in a garage, at an ambient the cabinet was never rated for
- Running warm is the expensive failure: nothing tells you until the food does

from $135 Wine and beverage cooler repair
Seven cabinets in this catalog, and they are single-zone beverage centers and wine storage rather than the dual-zone cellars the luxury makes sell. Most of what we attend on them is thermal rather than mechanical: a glass door in a warm kitchen, a cabinet built into a run with nowhere for its heat to go, a seal that has hardened. We check the installation before we quote a part, because on this appliance it is the answer often enough to matter.
- Single-zone beverage and wine cabinets, not multi-zone cellars
- Installation and clearance explain more of these calls than parts do
- Afternoon drift with a fine night-time temperature is a room story
-
from $275 Washer bearing and suspension repair
The rumble that rises with the spin and eventually becomes a grinding you can hear through the wall. On a front-loader the outer tub is often a sealed assembly, so a bearing is a large job with a large part — and it is the repair where we most often advise an owner to put the money toward a new machine instead. We give you both numbers and let you choose.
- A rumble that rises with spin speed and gets worse every week
- On many front-loaders the tub is sealed and the part is most of the machine
- This is the repair we most often advise against, with the numbers to show why
-
from $155 Gas burner and igniter repair
A burner that clicks and will not light, lights and then goes out, or burns yellow and uneven. On this badge's 31 gas ranges and 12 gas cooktops the causes are mostly mechanical and cheap: a cap seated wrongly after cleaning, a blocked port, a wet igniter. The electrical failures — a failed igniter or a switch stuck closed so every burner clicks — are the rest.
- A cap out of position after cleaning is the commonest cause of all
- All burners clicking at once is a switch or a wet igniter, not four failures
- A yellow flame is attended to promptly, not lived with
-
from $129 Refrigerator leak repair
Water under the crisper, water on the floor, or ice building in the bottom of the freezer. This is the most common refrigerator call we take in South Florida, and it has three usual causes that are told apart by where the water is: a blocked defrost drain, a water supply connection, or a door that is not sealing and letting the room condense inside the cabinet.
- Where the water is decides which of three causes it is
- A blocked defrost drain is the commonest by a distance in this climate
- Water at the back of the cabinet is a supply problem, not a defrost one
-
from $165 Dishwasher drying and heat repair
Nothing dry at the end of a cycle, or plastics wet while the china is fine. It is worth knowing that Frigidaire's plainer machines dry by holding heat rather than by blowing air, so damp plastic is close to normal and a dry load is helped more by rinse aid than by any setting. Where nothing at all dries, the heater, the vent flap or the thermostat is genuinely at issue.
- On the plainer machines damp plastic is the design, not a failure
- Rinse aid changes drying more than any button on the panel
- Nothing drying at all is the heater, the vent or the thermostat
-
from $119 Dryer vent cleaning
The single most useful thing that can be done to a dryer in South Florida, and the one job here that is a safety matter rather than a convenience. A duct that is long, bent and full of lint makes a healthy machine look broken, doubles cycle times and is a genuine fire risk. In apartment buildings the run is often shared and longer than anybody realizes.
- Doubles cycle times when it is bad, and it is a fire risk when it is worse
- Building runs are long, shared and rarely cleaned
- Measured before and after, so the difference is a number

Frigidaire repair in Hollywood, in more detail
What Frigidaire 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 Frigidaire work — cooktop, dishwasher, dryer — 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
- Dishwashers — Tower kitchens are narrow, so an 18-inch dishwasher in a galley is a normal sight here rather than an unusual one — and a part for it comes up in the service elevator, which is booked before the visit rather than on the day.
- Washers — Laundry in a tower is a closet off the hallway with the pair stacked in it. Getting a hand behind the machine is most of the appointment, and it is why we ask how yours is installed before we come.
- Dryers — A condensation dryer exists because this kind of building does — nothing vents through an exterior wall, so the water goes to a drain or a tank instead. It also means a kinked condensate hose behind a stacked pair reads exactly like a dead heating element.
- Dishwasher leaking
- Washer leaking
- Dryer squealing or thumping
- Oven door locked shut
- Refrigerator not cooling
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 $89 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 Frigidaire 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.
