LG Appliance Repair in Marin County & East Bay
APA Appliance Repair inc. provides in-home LG appliance repair throughout Marin County and selected East Bay communities. We diagnose problems with LG refrigerators, freezers, ice makers, washers, dryers, dishwashers, ovens, ranges, and cooktops.
LG appliances may combine mechanical components with electronic controls, sensors, inverter-driven systems, Direct Drive technology, and model-specific error codes. A displayed error code can identify the system reporting a problem, but it does not always identify the exact component that must be replaced. We test the appliance before recommending parts or approving a major repair.

LG Appliances We Repair
We work on many common LG residential appliances, including French-door and side-by-side refrigerators, bottom-freezer models, top-load and front-load washers, electric and gas dryers, built-in dishwashers, freestanding ranges, wall ovens, cooktops, freezers, and automatic ice makers.
When requesting service, provide the appliance type, model number, ZIP code, and a short description of the problem. If the appliance displays an error code, include the complete code in your request. Model information is especially useful for LG appliances because components and diagnostic procedures can differ between similar-looking models.
LG Refrigerator Repair
An LG refrigerator may continue running even when the fresh-food section becomes warm, the freezer stops maintaining temperature, frost develops around the evaporator area, or the ice maker stops working.
Our LG refrigerator repair service covers common symptoms such as:
refrigerator or freezer not cooling properly;
refrigerator running continuously;
fresh-food compartment warm while the freezer remains cold;
frost or ice forming inside the refrigerator;
unusual fan, compressor, or vibration noises;
water leaking inside or underneath the appliance;
refrigerator display or control problems;
recurring temperature or communication error codes.
Cooling problems can be caused by airflow restrictions, damaged door seals, temperature settings, sensors, fans, defrost components, electronic controls, or compressor and sealed-system conditions. The symptoms alone are not enough to determine which part has failed, so the appliance should be tested before an expensive component is ordered.
If your refrigerator is losing temperature, review our guide: Refrigerator Not Cooling? Common Causes and What to Check.
LG Refrigerator Ice Maker Repair
LG refrigerators may use an in-door ice maker, a freezer ice maker, dual ice systems, or Craft Ice components, depending on the model. Ice-production problems may involve the water supply, filter, inlet valve, freezer temperature, fill tube, sensors, fan, ice maker assembly, or electronic controls.
Our ice maker repair service covers symptoms including:
ice maker producing no ice;
slow or inconsistent ice production;
small, hollow, or irregular ice cubes;
water leaking from the ice maker area;
ice clumping inside the storage bin;
dispenser not releasing ice;
ice maker making unusual noises;
Craft Ice system not completing a cycle.
Before scheduling service, check whether the ice maker is turned on and whether the refrigerator is receiving water. If the ice maker repeatedly freezes, leaks, or stops again after a reset, further diagnosis may be necessary.
LG Washer Repair
LG front-load and top-load washers use pumps, valves, sensors, door or lid locks, suspension components, motors, and electronic controls to complete each wash cycle. When a fault occurs, the washer may stop before draining or spinning, remain locked, leak, or display an error code.
Our LG washer repair service covers common problems such as:
washer not draining;
water remaining in the drum;
washer not filling with water;
cycle stopping before completion;
drum not spinning;
excessive movement or vibration;
washer leaking during a cycle;
door or lid remaining locked;
unusual grinding, knocking, or pump noises;
recurring drain, balance, motor, or water-supply error codes.
A washer that will not drain does not automatically need a new drain pump. The cause may be a blocked filter, obstructed hose, damaged pump, wiring problem, pressure-sensing fault, or electronic-control issue. We inspect the drain path and test the related components before recommending replacement.
For additional information, see Washer Not Draining? Common Causes and When to Call for Repair.
LG Dryer Repair
When an LG dryer tumbles without producing heat, takes too long to dry clothing, stops before the cycle is complete, or displays an airflow warning, the problem may involve the dryer, the power or gas supply, or the exhaust system.
Our LG dryer repair service includes diagnosis of:
dryer running without heat;
clothing remaining damp after a full cycle;
dryer overheating;
dryer shutting off too early;
drum not turning;
squealing, scraping, or thumping noises;
start button or control panel not responding;
airflow or vent-related warnings;
temperature-sensor problems;
dryer not starting.
LG dryers may detect restricted airflow and display warnings when the exhaust system is heavily obstructed. A clogged or crushed vent can cause long drying times and overheating even when the dryer’s heating system is operating. The technician will determine whether the failure is inside the appliance or related to the external vent.

LG Dishwasher Repair
LG dishwashers use circulation and drain pumps, water valves, sensors, heating components, electronic controls, and leak-detection systems. A failure in one of these systems can leave water in the tub, interrupt the wash cycle, produce unusual noises, or prevent the dishwasher from starting.
Our LG dishwasher repair service covers problems such as:
dishwasher not draining;
standing water at the bottom of the tub;
dishwasher leaking;
appliance not filling with water;
dishes remaining dirty or wet;
wash cycle stopping unexpectedly;
door not closing or latching;
unusual humming, grinding, or pump noises;
control panel not responding;
recurring drain, water-supply, motor, or leak-related error codes.
Standing water may be caused by a blocked filter, drain hose problem, obstruction, failed pump, sensor, wiring fault, or control issue. Replacing the pump without checking the entire drain path can result in an unnecessary repair.
See Dishwasher Not Draining? What Homeowners Should Check for safe preliminary checks and signs that professional diagnosis is needed.
LG Oven, Range, and Cooktop Repair
We repair many LG cooking appliances, including freestanding ranges, wall ovens, and cooktops. Service availability may depend on the model, installation, and fuel type.
Our oven and range repair service and cooktop repair service cover common symptoms including:
oven not heating;
oven taking too long to preheat;
selected temperature not matching actual temperature;
burner or heating element not working;
range or cooktop not turning on;
control panel or display problems;
oven door not closing or locking;
convection fan making unusual noises;
appliance displaying an error code;
uneven or inconsistent cooking temperatures.
Cooking appliances contain high-voltage, high-temperature, and, on some models, gas components. Stop using the appliance if it trips a breaker, produces sparks, smells of burned wiring or gas, or shows visible electrical damage.
Understanding LG Error Codes
LG error codes are useful diagnostic clues, but they should not be treated as automatic instructions to replace a particular part. A code may be triggered by a blocked hose, loose electrical connection, installation problem, failed sensor, damaged component, or interruption in the appliance’s water, power, drainage, or ventilation conditions.
Before the appointment:
Write down or photograph the complete error code.
Note when it appears during the cycle.
Avoid repeatedly resetting the appliance if it leaks, overheats, or makes unusual mechanical noises.
Locate the model and serial number label if it is accessible without moving or disassembling the appliance.
This information can make the diagnostic visit more efficient.
Our LG Appliance Diagnostic Process
The technician begins by reviewing the reported symptoms, model information, and any displayed error codes. The appliance and its installation are then inspected before the systems related to the failure are tested.
After diagnosis, we explain:
which system is causing the problem;
whether a specific component has failed;
what parts may be required;
whether the repair is economically reasonable;
the expected repair cost;
whether an additional visit may be necessary.
Electronic control boards, motors, pumps, compressors, and other expensive components should not be replaced based only on an error code or an online suggestion. Testing helps separate a failed component from a wiring, sensor, airflow, drainage, or installation problem.
Should You Repair or Replace Your LG Appliance?
Whether an LG appliance should be repaired depends on its age, overall condition, repair history, part availability, and the estimated cost of the work.
A refrigerator, washer, dryer, or dishwasher with one identifiable failure may still have years of useful service remaining. Replacement may be more practical when multiple major components are failing, the cabinet or tub is damaged, required parts are unavailable, or the repair cost is too close to the price of a suitable replacement.
We provide the diagnostic information and estimate needed to make an informed decision. If the appliance is not worth repairing, we will explain the reasons before unnecessary work is approved.

Frequently Asked Questions
What LG appliances do you repair?
We repair many LG refrigerators, freezers, ice makers, washers, dryers, dishwashers, ovens, ranges, and cooktops. We do not repair LG televisions, phones, computers, air conditioners, or other consumer electronics.
Do you repair LG refrigerators that are not cooling?
Yes. We diagnose airflow, fan, defrost, sensor, control, compressor, and sealed-system symptoms. The required repair depends on the model and the results of on-site testing.
Can you repair an LG refrigerator ice maker?
Yes. We diagnose standard, in-door, freezer, dual, and Craft Ice systems, depending on the refrigerator model and part availability. Problems may involve the water supply, temperature, sensors, inlet valve, fan, ice maker assembly, or electronic controls.
Do you repair LG Direct Drive washers?
Yes. We service many LG front-load and top-load Direct Drive washers. A motor-related error code does not always mean the motor itself has failed, so the related wiring, sensors, controls, and mechanical components must also be inspected.
What should I do if my LG appliance displays an error code?
Write down or photograph the complete code and include it in your service request. Avoid repeatedly operating the appliance if it is leaking, overheating, producing sparks, or making severe mechanical noises.
Do you carry every LG replacement part?
Part availability depends on the appliance model and the required component. Some common service parts may be available quickly, while model-specific pumps, motors, control boards, ice maker assemblies, or other components may need to be ordered after diagnosis.
