Our Samsung fridge stopped cooling overnight. Called Max Fixing and they sent someone out same day. The technician was professional, explained everything clearly, and had us back up and running in under 2 hours. Pricing was fair and transparent. Highly recommend!
Washer was making a horrible noise. The tech arrived on time, diagnosed the issue quickly (worn bearing), and completed the repair efficiently. Very knowledgeable and reasonably priced. Will definitely use them again.
Had an issue with our GE dishwasher not draining. Max Fixing came out the next day, fixed it within an hour, and cleaned up everything. The technician was courteous and explained what caused the problem. Great service!
Our LG dryer stopped heating. Called Max Fixing and they were able to fit us in the same day. The repair was done professionally and the price was exactly what they quoted over the phone. Very satisfied with the service.
Excellent service! Our Whirlpool refrigerator was leaking water. The technician arrived within the scheduled window, quickly identified the problem, and had the parts needed in his truck. Fixed it on the spot. Very pleased!
Called them for our Maytag washer that wouldn't spin. They came out same day, tech was friendly and professional. Fixed the issue and gave us maintenance tips to prevent future problems. Fair pricing too. Would recommend!
Our KitchenAid oven stopped working right before Thanksgiving. Max Fixing saved the day! Same-day service, professional technician, and reasonable rates. We were so relieved. Thank you!

The mid-century ranch grid running between Covina Boulevard and Arrow Highway is where we take the most service calls. Homes built between 1955 and 1970, mostly gas hook-ups, a lot of GE and Whirlpool freestanding units that have been in the same kitchen for decades. San Gabriel Basin water comes in around 280–320 ppm hardness — that mineral load clogs burner caps and ceramic igniters faster than most homeowners notice. Then factor in SGV summer heat cycling the oven harder than it was designed for. Newer sections tell a different story. The Vineyards development off Citrus Avenue and the Charter Oak corridor pushed a wave of Samsung and KitchenAid slide-ins into kitchens that still had 30-inch gas cutouts from 1962 flex-line installations. Mixing new appliances into old infrastructure creates its own failure patterns — parts that don't cross-reference cleanly, clearances that weren't designed for a 2014 slide-in frame.
Most of 91722 and 91723 is post-war subdivision — 30-inch standard range cutouts, original gas flex lines, kitchens sized before anyone thought about replacing appliances every ten years. The Covina Park neighborhood runs a lot of older Whirlpool and GE freestanding ranges still on their original igniters. Newer builds east of Citrus Avenue in 91724 skew toward Samsung or KitchenAid slide-ins from the mid-2000s builder cycle — completely different failure patterns, different parts availability. The stretch between Azusa Avenue and Barranca Avenue has seen the most appliance turnover in the last decade. Mostly LG and Samsung units purchased from big-box stores with no local service contract attached. The old Arrow Highway and San Bernardino Road corridor — dense residential blocks, 1960s construction, original gas supply infrastructure. Flex lines that are technically in-spec but are 50 years old. Gas range work in that corridor always includes a visual on the flex connection before the repair ticket closes. Nobody wants to fix the igniter and leave a marginal flex line behind. 91724 also has a cluster of early-2000s construction closer to the Covina Hills area where KitchenAid and Bosch were the builder-grade default. Control board failures on those units spike every summer as ambient temperatures climb past 95°F.
Common Range Issues in Covina
Gas Burner Won't Ignite — Mineral Scale on the Spark Igniter
Hard water mineral deposits crust the ceramic spark igniter tip and burner cap over months. The igniter clicks but the burner never catches. On older GE and Whirlpool gas ranges, the igniter sits low in the burner bowl and collects residue fast. Cleaning the igniter and cap fixes it about half the time — the other half, the igniter itself needs replacing, usually a $35–50 part. The burner cap also warps on the mid-2000s Whirlpool WFG series. That gap between the cap and burner head is just wide enough to kill ignition even with a new igniter installed. Two separate parts, one symptom — worth checking both before calling it fixed.
Oven Not Reaching Temperature — Weak Oven Igniter or Stuck Gas Valve
Gas ovens that preheat slowly or bake unevenly almost always point to a weak oven igniter — it glows orange but never gets hot enough to trigger the gas valve to open. Samsung ranges from 2010–2016 are frequent offenders. The igniter reads fine on a meter but the glow bar is spent. Swap the igniter, verify the gas valve cycles cleanly, done. LG ranges from the same era show the same slow-preheat symptom but with a different root cause. The bi-metal safety fuse inside the gas valve assembly trips on thermal stress — consistent ignition failure after the oven has run 45 minutes or more. Same complaint, different fix. Diagnosing which one you're dealing with before ordering parts saves a second trip.
Control Panel Dead or Locked — Control Board Failure in Valley Heat
KitchenAid and Bosch ranges from the early 2010s have control boards that don't hold up to sustained 95°F+ ambient — a Covina summer reality from June through September. The display locks mid-cook, one burner zone stops responding, or the clock resets randomly. Usually a control board replacement. Sometimes it's just a ribbon cable connector that separated from the keypad membrane — worth ruling out before ordering a board, because the board on a KitchenAid KSGB900ESS runs $180–240 in parts alone. Check the connector first. Takes ten minutes and costs nothing.
Self-Clean Cycle Shuts the Oven Down — Thermal Cutoff Tripped
Running the self-clean cycle on a GE or Frigidaire range when the kitchen is already 85°F is asking for trouble. The oven climbs past 900°F internally, the thermal cutoff reads the ambient spike, and the unit shuts down. F2 or F3 on the display. Oven won't power back on until the cutoff cools — or is replaced, because it's a one-time component. Once tripped, it doesn't reset. $15 part, 20-minute replacement. But until it's done, the range is completely dead. This call spikes in August across 91722 and 91723. If you ran self-clean and now nothing works, that's almost certainly the cutoff.
Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can you get to Covina for range repair?▼
SGV routes run through our daily schedule — from the nearest stop, Covina is 20–35 minutes depending on traffic on the 10 or the 210. Same-day slots are usually open if you call before noon. Reach us at (323) 870-4790 to check availability.
Do you repair Samsung and KitchenAid ranges?▼
Both show up constantly in 91723 and 91724. Samsung gas ranges mostly need oven igniters or a control board. KitchenAid tends to come in with bake element failures and intermittent burner valve issues. Parts for both are generally in stock — no waiting on special orders for common failures.
What does a range repair cost, and do you charge just to come out?▼
Flat diagnostic fee, credited toward the repair if you move forward. Most igniter or bake element swaps land between $120 and $200 all-in. Control board jobs get a quote before any parts are ordered — no surprises. Evening slots available. Call (323) 870-4790.
