GE appliances are a familiar sight in Mar Vista kitchens and laundry rooms, from original postwar houses to fully remodeled ones.

Living with GE appliances on the Westside
Many Mar Vista homes are single-story houses built after the war. Over the years, many got newer kitchens fitted into the original footprint. That often means a GE refrigerator set into a tight alcove or a range tucked hard against cabinets, where heat has little room to escape. Laundry often sits in an attached garage or on a narrow service porch. The mild climate is easy on equipment. But the neighborhood is only a few miles from the ocean, so damp marine air reaches garage washers and dryers. Over time it encourages rust on cabinets, hose connections and vent hardware.
What usually goes wrong, and why
A GE refrigerator that stays cold in the freezer but warm in the fresh food side usually points to frost on the evaporator from a failed defrost part. Another common cause is a fan that has stopped moving air between compartments. Ovens that won't heat often have a burned-out bake element or, on gas models, a weak igniter. Dishwashers that hold water tend to have a clogged filter, a kinked drain hose or a failing pump. Washers that won't spin are frequently held up by a faulty lid lock. Dryers that won't start commonly have a blown thermal fuse, often caused by a clogged vent. The $95 service call covers finding which one it is.
Simple habits that keep GE machines running
Pull the refrigerator out twice a year and vacuum the condenser coils. Leave a few inches of space behind it so it can breathe. Rinse the dishwasher filter every month or so, and run the garbage disposal before starting a load, since the two often share a drain. Empty the dryer lint screen every time and check the outside vent flap for lint or debris. In a garage, look for rust along the duct joints. Avoid overloading the washer, which strains the lid lock and drive parts. On a front-loader, leave the door ajar between loads so the gasket dries out in the damp coastal air.

Our freezer stopped working recently. When I called West Appliance Service they came to my home to assess the problem within 1 hour of calling. They were able to come back the next day to complete the repairs once they knew what parts they needed. The service was quick, smooth, and well done. We had a great experience working with Ivan and highly recommend anyone to use their services. We will definitely be a repeat customer if our appliances need repair.

We went with West Appliance Service because our usual repair company wasn’t available for an emergency call for a washing machine at one of our rental properties. I’m glad we found them! Mark, our tech, was fast, knowledgable, and very helpful! He was so great that I have already called him for another issue at a different property, instead of calling the other company we usually go with. Thanks Mark, looking forward to continuing working with you going forward!
