Maytag repair in Hollywood
From bungalows near the beach to newer buildings inland, with the salt exposure dropping off the further west you are. It changes what we check first.
We cover Hollywood and the rest of Broward: an on-site diagnostic first, the price agreed in writing before anything is opened, and the exact figure confirmed once we have seen the unit.

Upright · chest · convertible chest Maytag freezer repair in Hollywood
184 pages in the maker's base and **not one numbered code** — upright, chest and convertible chest alike. A freezer under this badge is a deliberately simple machine and it is diagnosed the way simple machines are: by temperature, by airflow, by the seal, and by where it stands. That last one matters more here than anywhere. Most of the freezers we open in South Florida are in a garage or a utility room that reaches a hundred degrees by afternoon, and an ordinary cabinet asked to hold zero in that ambient is working far outside what its specification assumed. Garage-ready is a specification with a number behind it, not a slogan.
- Upright, chest and convertible chest freezers
- No published codes at all — 184 pages of plain guidance
- Where it stands is half the diagnosis: a hot garage is a different machine

Top load · front load · commercial-grade residential Maytag washer repair in Hollywood
This is the deepest branch of Maytag's own support base and the oldest thing the badge does — the company has been building washing machines since 1907. 479 pages, and 158 of them are code pages: 86 on the top-load machine, 62 on the front-load. That is more numbered diagnosis than the whole refrigeration half of the catalog gets, and it changes how a washer call starts. On most makes we ask what the machine is doing; here we ask what it is showing, because it will usually be showing something. The top-loader is the one Maytag is bought for and the one that outlives its kitchen — which is also why so many of the machines we open here are older than the room around them.
- Top-load, front-load and commercial-grade residential machines
- 86 code pages on top load, 62 on front load — the make's most documented appliance
- Older machines are normal here: the badge is bought to be kept

Single and double wall ovens · built into the cabinetry Maytag wall oven repair in Hollywood
175 code pages out of 293 — proportionally the most documented appliance in this catalog, and the one where the display is most likely to have already done the diagnosis. A wall oven is also the appliance where getting to the part costs more than the part: it is built into a tall housing, it is heavy, and on a double oven it is heavier still. So the visit is planned differently. We want the code and the model before the van is loaded, because a wall oven pulled out twice is a wall oven pulled out once too often.
- Single and double wall ovens, built into a run of cabinetry
- 175 code pages of 293 — the most numbered appliance this make publishes
- Access is the expensive half: the code decides what comes on the first visit
-
Front control and top control · stainless and plastic tubs Maytag dishwasher repair in Hollywood
296 pages with 42 numbered conditions, and a code branch of its own — 38 of those 42 sit under a single heading the make calls Error Code or Flashing Lights. That last phrase is the useful part: on a machine with no digital display the diagnosis is a pattern of blinking lights, and the pattern is the whole message. It disappears the moment the power is cut, which is why we ask what the lights were doing before anybody reached for the breaker.
- Front-control and top-control machines, stainless and plastic tubs
- 42 code pages, 38 of them under one Error Code or Flashing Lights heading
- On a machine with no display, the blinking pattern IS the code

The ice maker inside the refrigerator — in the door or in the freezer Maytag ice maker repair in Hollywood
Maytag builds no ice machine of its own, and this page is honest about that instead of describing a sister brand's product. Every one of the 120 ice pages in the maker's base is filed under a refrigerator, beneath headings it calls Ice and Water Concerns and Ice Production, and not one of them carries a number. So there is nothing here to read off a panel. What there is, in a city that gets through ice the way this one does, is a module that spends August at the edge of what it was specified to do — and a short list of reasons it falls off that edge, most of which are about the supply rather than the module.
- The refrigerator's own ice maker, in the door or in the freezer compartment
- No ice machine under this badge, and no published codes for ice at all
- The usual answer is upstream of the module: filter, line, valve, pressure

Electric and gas · vented · commercial-grade residential Maytag dryer repair in Hollywood
189 pages and 56 of them numbered, plus a commercial branch of 73 pages with 39 more. Every dryer under this badge is a vented machine — there is no heat-pump model and no compact one, which is a real difference from the sister brands in the same corporation and it decides the whole diagnosis. A vented dryer lives or dies by the duct behind it, and in South Florida that duct is more often long and horizontal than short and vertical, and it carries air that arrived with plenty of moisture of its own. So a dryer here gets slower every season until somebody finally counts the cycles, and the machine at that point is usually fine.
- Vented electric and gas dryers, and the commercial-grade residential machines
- 56 code pages, and 39 more on the commercial dryer
- No heat-pump and no compact model — the duct is the diagnosis

from $145 Dishwasher leak repair
Water on the floor in front of the machine, or under a cabinet run where nobody sees it for months. Finding it costs more than fixing it: a door gasket, a sump seal, a hose that weeps only under pressure at one point in the cycle. In a fitted kitchen the expensive half of this repair is the joinery, so it is dealt with as a today job rather than a weekend one.
- Found by running the machine and watching, not by guessing at the part
- A leak that appears at one point in the cycle points at one part
- The cabinet base is inspected before we leave
-
from $145 Dryer not heating repair
Every dryer under this badge is vented — there is no heat-pump machine and no compact one — so this job starts behind the appliance rather than inside it. A run that is long, flat, crushed or full of lint will not let a dryer work however good its element is, and in South Florida those runs carry air that arrived wet. The duct is measured before anything is opened, and that measurement ends a real share of these calls.
- Vented only: the duct is the appliance's real constraint
- Measured with a gauge before and after, not judged by hand
- The thermal cut-out is replaced with the element, because it opened for a reason
-
from $265 Cooktop glass replacement
The one repair on this site where we ask you to stop using the appliance now. That sheet of glass is what keeps a spill off the electronics beneath it, and a crack that reaches an edge is an open path from the hob to the live half of the machine. Thermal shock causes most of them; a top clamped a fraction too tight at installation causes the rest, and a new panel fitted into the same over-tight opening is a repair with a date on it.
- Stop using it today: a crack to the edge is a path for liquid into the electronics
- Thermal shock and over-tight clamping cause most of them
- The fitting is corrected with the glass, or the new panel goes the same way
-
from $135 Refrigerator door seal replacement
Few parts this inexpensive cost you as much temperature, and in this humidity the bill arrives in days rather than months. A gasket that has taken a set still touches along most of its run, which is why the handle side always feels fine — the gap is at a hinge corner or low down where the door is heaviest. Fitted to a door that no longer closes square it fails again, so the door is set at the same visit.
- Found along the whole run rather than at the handle
- The door is squared at the same visit, or the new gasket fails the same way
- Frost and condensation are traced to the seal before anything else is suspected
-
from $139 Washer lid lock and lid switch repair
Top-load machines, and a different part in a different place from the front-load door lock — which is why it has a row of its own rather than being averaged into one. A top-loader will not spin unless it is sure the lid is shut, so a failed lock arrives as a machine that washes and leaves everything soaking. On the older cabinets this is a console-off job.
- A separate part and a separate job from the front-load door lock
- The commonest reason a top-loader washes and will not spin
- On older cabinets the console comes off, which is where the time goes
-
from $185 Commercial dryer service
The commercial-grade laundry dryer, which is a duty-cycle machine rather than a domestic one with a coin box bolted on. This maker publishes seventy-three pages for it and thirty-nine numbered conditions, so it usually says what has stopped — and in a building laundry that matters, because the machine is earning while it runs and costing while it does not.
- A duty-cycle machine with its own published codes — 39 of them
- Scheduled against downtime, not against a convenient window
- The room is assessed as well: drainage, ventilation and level

Maytag repair in Hollywood, in more detail
What Maytag equipment is like in Hollywood
From bungalows near the beach to newer buildings inland, with the salt exposure dropping off the further west you are. It changes what we check first.
Hollywood sits in Broward County, and the equipment here follows the housing: older kitchens with appliances fitted into openings that were cut for something else, and newer ones where they were specified with the cabinetry. Both are Maytag work — cooktops, dishwashers, dryers — and both are diagnosed on site before anything is priced.
Salt, heat and storms — what they do to a kitchen full of appliances
Close to the water everything ages from the outside in. Salt corrodes the condenser coils and fan motors on the cold side and reaches burner caps, grates and igniters on the hot side, and both fail in the same way: a part that still works, slowly, until the day it does not. In Hollywood that turns a cleaning interval into a seasonal job rather than an annual one, on both halves of the kitchen.
What that means for the appliances in Hollywood
- Range hoods — Almost nothing in a tower vents outside, so the hood recirculates and lives entirely on a charcoal filter — a consumable most owners have never been told about, and the reason a healthy-sounding hood can move nothing at all.
- Refrigerators — A refrigerator in a tower has less air around it and a warmer cabinet behind it than the same unit in a house, so the condenser matters more here and the cleaning interval is shorter than the manual assumes.
- Cooktops — Induction is common in these buildings because a gas line often is not, and an induction top under a counter needs the ventilation gap the instructions specify — which a full drawer removes without anybody noticing.
- Oven will not heat
- Range burner will not light
- Range hood not pulling air
- Refrigerator freezing food
- Washer will not drain
How a visit in Hollywood is arranged
We ask for the model number from the plate inside the door and a line about what the appliance is doing. That decides which parts ride in the van, and it is the difference between one appointment and two.
- In a building: the service elevator window, the loading bay and the hours contractors are allowed to work
- Behind a gate: how visitors are cleared, arranged before the appointment rather than at it
- Whether the doors are paneled to match the cabinetry, which changes how they come off and go back
- The diagnosis first, then the scope and the price in writing, and your approval before anything is opened
What it costs, and what moves the figure
Prices in Hollywood are the same as everywhere else we cover: a diagnostic from $89 that is credited toward the repair, and starting figures per job rather than one number for "a repair". What moves it is the model, how the appliance is built into the cabinetry, which part it needs and how quickly that part can be sourced — none of which can be judged over the phone. The repairs we carry out lists what each job involves and the figure it starts at, and the unit pages covers what tends to go wrong on each type.
The exact cost is confirmed after the on-site diagnostic and agreed with you before any work begins. We are an independent repair company — not affiliated with, authorized by, or endorsed by any manufacturer — and our warranty covers the labor we performed.
Before you book
Questions about a visit in Hollywood
Do you cover Hollywood?
Yes. Hollywood is in Broward County and inside the area we work every week. Give us the address when you book, and say how the Maytag is installed — what has to come apart to reach it matters as much as where it is.
How soon can you get to Hollywood?
We will tell you the earliest slot we can genuinely keep rather than the earliest one that sounds good. Tell us the model number and what the unit is doing when you book: whether we can finish the same day depends on the part far more than on the drive.
Does it cost more because the job is in Hollywood?
No. The diagnostic and the work are priced the same across Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach. What moves the figure is the model, how the unit is built in and which part it needs — never the address. Where access takes longer, we say so before anything is agreed rather than after.
My building has rules about service calls. What do you need?
The building name when you book, and anything it requires — a service elevator window, a loading bay slot, approved hours or a certificate of insurance. We arrange those in advance; found out on the day, they cost the appointment.
