Refrigeration & Wine
Built-in Sub-Zero columns, side-by-sides, wine rooms, and ice makers. Compressor, sealed-system, and control-board repairs — handled in-home when possible, at our coastal workshop when needed.
№ 01 — The Coastline Issue
Concierge appliance care for the bluffs, the canyons, and the coast. We repair and install the refrigerators, ranges, and wine columns that live in some of California's most considered homes — with the discretion and care the coast deserves.
№ 03 — What We Tend To
i.
Built-in Sub-Zero columns, side-by-sides, wine rooms, and ice makers. Compressor, sealed-system, and control-board repairs — handled in-home when possible, at our coastal workshop when needed.
ii.
Dual-fuel, induction, and gas. Ignition, convection, thermostat calibration, and the fussy bits that make a Wolf a Wolf.
iii.
Quiet European dishwashers tend to fail quietly — pumps, heaters, door seals, control boards. We diagnose without guesswork.
iv.
Front-loaders, steam dryers, and stacked units in tight canyon closets. Bearings, belts, boards, and vent assessments.
v.
We install new appliances with the same care we bring to repair. Level, plumb, gas-safe, and dialed-in — with factory commissioning for Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Miele. Rebuilding after the 2025 fires? We handle insurance-coordinated installs and the long tail of post-move-in surprises.
№ 04 — Stephen's Story
I grew up watching my father rebuild washing machines in our garage in Bakersfield. By sixteen I could swap a compressor blindfolded, and by twenty-two I had my EPA certification and a beat-up van full of tools. I moved to the Palisades in 2009 to fix a single Sub-Zero for a family friend — and never left.
I founded Pacific Palisades Appliance Repair in 2011 on three stubborn beliefs: that a technician should look you in the eye and tell you the truth; that OEM parts are worth the wait; and that a house is not a worksite — it's someone's home.
These days I lead a tight team of four factory-trained technicians. We answer our own phones. We show up when we say we will. And when January 2025 took so much of our town with it, we committed to a standing 15% rebuild discount for any neighbor repairing or replacing appliances in a damaged home — no paperwork, no expiration, just our way of helping the Palisades come back.

№ 05 — Luxury Brand Specialists
Our technicians are factory-certified on the luxury brands that define a Palisades kitchen. Each badge below links to a dedicated specialist page with common issues, model coverage, and service notes.
№ 06 — Along the Coast
Our technicians live and work along the coast. Shorter drives, local parts depots, and a real understanding of the homes we service — from modernist perches on the Riviera to Cape Cods tucked into the canyons.
№ 07 — Our Approach
01
A flat-rate visit. We tell you what's wrong, what it costs, and whether it's worth fixing — before anything is opened up.
02
We source from factory distributors. No aftermarket knockoffs, no mystery boards. Your warranty — and your home — stay intact.
03
The person who diagnoses your appliance is the person who fixes it. You won't meet three strangers and repeat yourself.
04
Shoe covers, floor runners, drop cloths on stone. We leave the kitchen the way we found it — quieter, ideally.
“Stephen arrived when he said he would, diagnosed a 15-year-old Sub-Zero in twenty minutes, and had it running by the end of the afternoon. Wonderfully uneventful.”
