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!

Very responsive and professional. Our freezer stopped working and they came out within hours. The technician was knowledgeable and explained everything clearly. Repair was done quickly and hasn't had any issues since.
Chapman Avenue runs through some of Placentia's older ranch tracts where 1960s kitchens were built around 30-inch gas ranges and nothing's changed much since. Today those same kitchens are running KitchenAid dual-fuel slides and Samsung freestanding units, but the symptoms are familiar: a burner that clicks without catching, or an oven that reads 350° and bakes like it's 275°. We cover 92870 and 92871 — usually on-site the same day you call. The range is the appliance people notice fastest when something goes wrong. A dead burner on a Tuesday night is a real problem. Gas smell near the valve manifold is a call-right-now situation. We handle both.
Most of the housing stock in 92870 goes back to the late 1960s and 1970s — single-story ranch layouts east of Kraemer Boulevard, with original gas supply lines still feeding modern slide-in ranges. Those lines have seen decades of pressure cycles, and sediment from older galvanized sections can reach the range's gas valve or clog the burner orifices over time. The Golden Trails neighborhood near Placentia Avenue sees Thermador and Bosch installs in 2000s-era Craftsman builds. Different failure pattern entirely from the 1970s tracts near Alta Vista High School, where corroded orifices and failing igniters are the repeat call. Bradford Avenue and Placentia Avenue corridors have a mix of both eras. A house built in 1972 with a remodeled kitchen in 2018 might have a KitchenAid dual-fuel slide-in sitting on a gas stub that was last inspected during the Carter administration. The range is fine. The stub fitting, less so. Over near Tri-City Park at Orangethorpe and Kraemer, newer builds more often have Bosch or Thermador ranges with electronic ignition and convection systems that fail differently. The Thermador star-burner geometry is non-standard — igniter placement, burner cap fitment — and most generalist technicians skip it entirely. Access across Placentia is usually straightforward: driveways, street parking on Bradford and Yorba Linda Boulevard, no elevator logistics or gated complexes. The stretch along Yorba Linda Boulevard near the 57 Freeway interchange has more recent construction with updated gas lines. Still gets the same hard-water mineral buildup in burner orifices as the rest of Orange County — the water hardness here runs around 350–400 ppm, and it shows up in every range we open.
Common Range Issues in Placentia
Burner igniter clicks but won't light — common in Placentia's gas range homes
The spark igniter electrode gets coated with grease and mineral residue from LA's hard water, especially around the burner cap and the igniter port. On KitchenAid and Samsung gas models, this usually means cleaning or replacing the igniter module — and checking that the burner cap is seated flat, since a slightly cocked cap breaks the spark gap geometry entirely. Left alone, continuous clicking wears out the spark module faster and can trip the control board into lockout mode. Catch it early and it's a $90–$140 fix. Wait six months and you're replacing an $80 spark module plus a $150 control board. Not worth it.
Uneven flame or low BTU output after years of use
Clogged burner ports are the usual culprit — mineral deposits from hard water narrow the gas flow over time. It shows up as a lopsided blue flame or one burner running noticeably cooler than the rest. Bosch and LG gas ranges are particularly prone to this in the 92871 ZIP, where older plumbing adds sediment to the equation. Disassembly, soaking the burner heads in a descaling solution, and clearing each port with a brass pick usually fixes it. The gas pressure at the regulator gets checked too — a weak or failing regulator is sometimes the actual root cause, not the ports themselves. Miss that step and the problem comes back in three months.
Oven not reaching set temperature — Thermador and KitchenAid convection issues
A failing bake element or a worn-out RTD probe (temperature sensor) is the most common cause. The RTD probe sends resistance readings to the control board — when it drifts, the board thinks the oven is hotter than it is and cuts the element early. You get a 275° oven convinced it's at 350°. On Thermador wall-oven-style ranges in Placentia's newer builds near Golden Trails, convection fan motors seize after 8–10 years of use. The bearing wears out, the motor draws excess current, and the thermal fuse on the motor housing blows. The oven display reads fine, but heat distribution fails — hot spots near the element, cold pockets in the corners. Replacing the heating element or sensor runs $120–$200 in parts. The convection motor swap is closer to $180–$250 depending on the Thermador model series.
Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can you get to Placentia for a range repair?▼
From our usual Orange County route, Placentia is easy — off the 57 at Yorba Linda Blvd or Chapman. Most calls in 92870 and 92871 get same-day slots, sometimes within 2 hours. Call (323) 870-4790 to check today's availability.
Do you work on Bosch and Thermador ranges, or just the standard brands?▼
Both, plus KitchenAid, Samsung, LG, and GE. Bosch slide-ins need different burner seal kits than American brands — the brass orifice sizing is metric, which matters when diagnosing a weak flame. Thermador star burners have a specific igniter geometry most generalists skip. Common parts for both are stocked on the van, so same-day repairs are the norm rather than the exception.
What does a range diagnosis cost, and do you charge if you can't fix it?▼
Diagnosis is $75, applied toward the repair if you proceed. Gas smell calls get priority — dispatch within 2 hours for those, even on short notice. If a part needs to be ordered after the first visit, you don't pay the diagnostic fee twice. Evening slots are available most weekdays. Schedule at (323) 870-4790 or book online.
My range is showing an error code — does that help with diagnosis?▼
Usually yes. Samsung ranges throw F-codes for temperature sensor faults and E-codes for ignition control issues — F-28 on a Samsung NX series, for example, typically points to a faulty oven sensor or a wiring harness fault at the sensor connector. KitchenAid uses a different readout format but the underlying failure modes are similar. Mention the code when you call and we can usually narrow it down in a few minutes — parts swap or control board fault, we'll tell you straight.
