Two appliances with the same symptom can have very different causes, and the real fix only becomes clear once we open the unit and test it. That's what the $89 service call is for, after the on-site diagnosis we quote a firm, accurate price instead of a phone guess that could be wrong.

Quick answer El Cajon Appliance recommends replacement when a repair would cost more than about half the price of a comparable new unit, factoring in the appliance's age and condition. We give you honest numbers after the $89 diagnosis so you can decide.
After the on-site diagnosis we weigh the repair cost against the appliance's age, condition, and the price of a comparable new unit, a common rule of thumb is that if a repair costs more than half of a replacement, replacing may make more sense. We give you the honest numbers and let you decide.

What Our Customers Say
Our built-in microwave died right before we hosted family for the holidays, and I figured I'd be stuck ordering a replacement. Found this guy online, sent a quick message, and he had it running again by the afternoon. Turned out a control board connector had worked loose over the years. He explained everything in plain English, didn't talk down to me, and the price was way more reasonable than I braced myself for. Genuinely nice person too. Saved me a few hundred bucks and a whole headache.
Freezer was caked in frost and barely closing. Sorted in one visit.
Reliable and straight-shooting. Fixed what needed fixing and told me the rest was fine.
Good honest service for installing our new Frigidaire. Everything's level and tight and there are no leaks. It ran a little more than I'd budgeted once the new water line and fittings were added in, but he walked me through every charge upfront so there were no surprises.
What sold me was the honesty. He looked at our old Whirlpool and said flat out it wasn't worth pouring money into, then gave me an idea of what a decent replacement runs. Could've easily charged me for a repair that wouldn't last. That's rare.
Honestly expected to get talked into some huge repair. Instead he looked at our 14-year-old Whirlpool, told me the compressor was on its way out, and said it wasn't worth sinking money into. Appreciated him being straight with me instead of milking it.
Fast, reliable appliance installation and repair serving San Diego & Orange County.
