We had used our oven the night before and it worked perfectly. So to my surprise I was devastated when the next day my oven never heated up at all. We checked the stove top range and alll the burners worked perfectly so only the oven was the issue (not heating). We called Art and he was able to get us on his schedule rather quickly & he accommodated our work schedule/availability. He took the time to perform a full diagnostic check on the oven which was very impressive. He explained everything he was doing to us and even threw in some good humor (he definitely made me laugh) in the mix. Art was polite, thorough, and very knowledgeable & skilled in what he does. I'd highly recommend him to anyone who wants to get an appliance fixed because he knows his stuff. He ended up finding the issue (our guess on the issue was way off), he was able to fix/solder a wire within the oven. And bada bing bada boom the oven and broiler was fixed. Art's expertise ended up saving us hundreds of dollars as he got our oven fixed and we didn't have to buy a whole new one! read more

He seems to be no longer in business. I called the phone number and it is no longer in service.

I have been hiring Art to fix my appliances for many years. The "Doctor" is IN. Art is a genius with appliances. He knows the ins and outs of all the appliances - old and new. And he knows why the appliances break. So chances are he will not only fix your appliance, but he may help you keep it running for a long time. Highly recommended! read more

Art is not only very skilled and professional, but very kind and practical as well. We had a problem where our GE Monogram refrigerator/ freezer was leaking water onto our hardwood floors. We called a few different appliance repairmen and each told us we needed to replace the entire unit. Art was the only one who said he would come work on it and came to our home the same day we called him. He took the freezer apart and found the issue immediately: the drain had frozen over. He defrosted it and put some copper wire in place so it wouldn't happen again. It's running perfectly now and we didn't have to spend $12k+ on a new refrigerator. Art cleaned our 20-year-old refrigerator's stainless steel exterior and showed us how best to clean it in the future, without using harmful chemicals. It looks brand new! It is very apparent that he takes pride in his work and does the best job possible. While he was at our house, we spoke of an issue we've been having with our washing machine. Art diagnosed it, ordered the part then came back a few days later to install it. His pricing is very fair, no up charges for this or that. We are very happy and will only be calling the Appliance Doctor from now on! read more

Appliance Doctor - Art took the time to clean our 20-year-old refrigerator's stainless steel exterior. - Appliances & Repair Near Me

See all

Excellent quick appliance repair on very old dryer. Will call again if something else breaks.

There is nothing he can't fix. Fast, responsive, good pricing. Have used this service several times and it's always good.

My refrigerator stopped working while I was away for a few weeks. What stinch to come home to. I found Appliance Doctor on YELP and asked for an appointment. I also asked 2 or 3 other email services for appointments. I needed help fast! Appliance Doctor got back quickly and was able to help us DAYS BEFORE anyone else was able to come out! We expected a hug bill and we're mazed at the price to put us back in business. Quick, quiet, neat & clean, knowledgeable, experienced. This guy ROCKS @ what he does. read more

Arthur was wonderful. I highly recommend the appliance doctor has not only is he very knowledgeable about his craft. He is also very funny so you will be entertained while your appliances are being fixed. I had a great time while Art was here. I plan to recommend the appliance friends &family. read more

Arthur is the best! Reasonable, super nice and clever. He was able to get around a challenging repair by thinking way out of the box. He was there until late getting it done! You won't be sorry hiring him! read more

A rental property I manage has a built-in GE microwave-oven combo with the microwave not working. Art came and diagnosed it, told me the magnetron and transformer need to be replace. He helped me find the right parts and fixed the problem. Boom! It works now. Tenants are happy. Art saved the landlord $2500 since there is no need to replace the built-in microwave-oven combo! Highly recommended. read more

Artie is wonderful He's the one man band of a repair guy He does have some family commitments that may prevent things from getting resolved quickly, but I have never seen anyone resolve things as cost-effectively or as well We have used him for multiple things over the years, most recently my high-end stove had corroded out burners, and he found a part from the company that cost a third as much as the official replacement part, they looked identical, with some minor modifications he was able to make work as new. Saved hundreds. So now we have four new burners ready for another 20 to 40 years on our high-end gen air split fuel stove, for which the replacement I looked into before his first repair was many thousands of dollars. His first big repair was finding the control module and installing it, about 8 years ago. He also found issues with a refrigerator water line that he repaired expeditiously among other things. read more

I've used Art for several repairs. He's honest, highly skilled, and affordable. Sometimes he can't make it out immediately, and sometimes he needs to reschedule. Be patient and stick with Art! You will never regret it. I've used Art for dishwasher and dryer repair after paying way too much money to other appliance repair people who didn't do it right the first time, then charged me full price to come fix it. read more

Art is a very helpful kind and intelligent man. My husband and I bought a used fridge last year from an appliance place that broke almost immediately. The appliance place came out and did not get it working. We gave up on it. Many people pushed me to give Art a call and I did. Within hours of him looking at the fridge it's working as if it was new. He knows the science and mechanics of what he's looking at. He's just awesome. read more

This is our second interaction with Art. The first was years ago (maybe 10?) when we repaired our fridge. This time it was the oven. We spoke on the phone and he was able to diagnose the issue (high likelihood), so he had the parts and tools needed when he arrived. The fix was straightforward. This was an old appliance - over 15 years old. Before the repair, we were preparing ourselves to purchase a new unit. Ugh. Art's fix may give us an additional 10-15 years! Extremely happy. I called on a Sat afternoon. Yelp showed his business as closed at 3, so I almost didn't call. I was shocked when he called back and was available to come out on Sunday! That was good for us. He was able to give us an estimate for time and materials, assuming it was the needed fix. He is very practical and extremely friendly. He talked through his process and allowed us to watch over his shoulder (which I love!). I felt his charge was appropriate for the type of fix and the amount of time spent. Actually, I felt it was a Rocking GOOD deal! Thank you, Art. You're the ONLY guy I look for. read more

Address change: 3015 Manning court Santa Rosa, CA 95403 Telephone number remains the same: 707-585-8880. Art is the only factory authorized LG appliance repair technician in Sonoma county. read more

We have been calling on Arthur to help us out with our appliances for years. He is amazing! I don't think there is anything he can't fix!!

Art is awesome. On time. Reasonable. Excellent at his craft. He is my go to for appliance repair of any kind.

Not sure what's going on with Art. Texted him and set up an appointment, and then, never heard from him! He's always been difficult to reach, but despite several phone calls and texts, Art never responded. Art has worked on our appliances twice before and was pleasant and professional, so honestly, I don't know what's going on. read more

Art is terrific. It did take a couple days for him to call me back and then was a bit late for the appointment, but it wasn't a big emergency. He came, he diagnosed the problem, he fixed it...done! He's very nice and obviously very talented. We'd have him back for any appliance work at all. Thanks, Art! read more

Art was a knowledgeable and courteous. He took extra steps to make sure our new stove was converted properly to propane, he also helped set the burners to have the right flow. Thank you read more

This guy is great! I highly recommend him! I will use him again. He was super nice.

Art responded to my voicemail within the day and was able to come out the same day I called! He was able to fix the problem and was reasonably priced. While coming inside it was reassuring that he was taking precautions during this pandemic and wrote a respirator and put on rubber gloves before entering. Thanks Arthur! read more

We have a fairly new LG dryer that started making a horrible noise about 2 years after purchase (not happy with LG anymore) After two failed repairs by others we finally turned to Art in the hopes that we could salvage this machine. He was responsive to my inquiry, came out and spent a good amount of time diagnosing and completing a repair. So far after about six months the noise has not returned! We would use The Appliance Doctor for any appliance repair in the future. read more

Art is friendly and knowledgeable. Reasonably priced house call and he was able to fix all three of our issues. I highly recommend him and will certainly use him again read more

Two local refrigerator repairmen said my venerable 1973 Sears Coldspot fridge was toast because it wasn't getting cold enough. One of them dropped by, removed the panel in back of the freezer compartment, and saw no frost on the coil. He pointed this out and told me the coil should be frost-covered at all times unless the fridge has run out of refrigerant. He added that it's illegal to put new refrigerant in my 43-year-old fridge because the refrigerant it requires has been banned. Thus the fridge is not repairable and must be taken to County Recycling. A 2nd repairman from another repair shop agreed with him when I mentioned we'd found no frost on the freezer coil. I was grief stricken because I'm in love with this fridge after its 43 years of super-quiet service. Most of what little noise it makes is subsonic---below the range of human hearing. So powerful it never needs to work hard and generate heat, the football-size compressor actually conserves energy and resources. It's designed to last a lifetime or more, and you cannot always tell when it's running or resting. I love the Coldspot's quietness, its style and cool brown color (impossible to find in new refrigerators) that matches my stove, the handsome wood-inlay upon the brushed aluminum and chrome handles, the strong metal shelves inside, incandescent interior lighting that's easy on your eyes, general simplicity, and the smooth way the doors open, close and tightly seal---smooth as the doors on a Rolls Royce Silver Cloud. A salesman told me I should be prepared for the inferior quality of today's new fridges and recommended the new Whirlpool (the best of the lot, he said) for its quietness. But a reviewer remarked that his new Whirlpool was noisy, had many problems from the get go, and was purposely designed by the manufacturer to break down irreparably in only 5 to 10 years. So in search of a 3rd opinion I combed through Yelp and found Art the "Appliance Doctor." They all love him on Yelp. There had to be a reason, so I called him. Result: The fridge is not toast after all---far from it. Despite advice from the other appliance services, there's plenty of refrigerant in the high-quality sealed system which has no leaks after 43 years. Art, a truly marvelous repair person with extensive knowledge about vintage fridges, chuckled and explained that the lack of frost on the tubing behind the freezer is natural at the end of its regular defrost cycle. He troubleshot the real problem quickly, had a new, heavy-duty, ten-year starter relay in his truck, and he installed it. No clicks now when the compressor goes on and off. All the other repair people over the years have installed light-duty five-year starters that clicked, so I'm very grateful to Art for this ten-year part. Art also did something else no other maintenance techie has ever done. With a special brush, he cleaned the coils behind the kick plate. With that same brush, he scrubbed the condenser on both sides, using this amazing brush in conjunction with the brush attachment and powerful suction of my Kirby vacuum cleaner hose. Like some kind of ninja, he slipped a smooth, hard, eighth-inch plastic sheet beneath the heavy fridge that allowed him to effortlessly pull it out and return it into its alcove without disturbing a single thread of the all-weather carpeting. No other maintenance techie has ever done this either. They all just mangled the carpet instead. The condenser is immaculate now, and so is the entire area behind the kick plate. The fridge no longer has to fight through layers of dust, and runs freely. It's good to go for another decade at least. Art worked several hours but stuck to his estimate. He's a true pro, and I'm happy as a kid at Christmas. read more

Absolutely amazing. I just got off the phone with Art for the first time and I already know I will be calling him for any appliance issue I ever have again. I called on a Sunday night expecting it to roll to a company voicemail so I could give my info and wait for a call back this week. Instead, Art picked right up and was so friendly and courteous. He walked me through fixing my dryer in less than 2 minutes and at no cost as it was an easy fix. My dryer is running great! Thanks again Art!!! read more

Art is the man! I had a washing machine disaster the day of travel for a month. My clothes sat in water and molded in the washing machine, and I came home to stench. I called a few other places and no one would help me with an LG Tromm model, which I guess is more finicky than other models. This was without the heads up on the extent of the issue, only on sharing it was an LG! Art gave me a "no problem." When I urged him that I needed help right away, he promised to squeeze me in on a busy day. He came over after hours at 6:00pm and stayed almost three hours. He opened the washing machine up, diagnosed the issue, and even cleaned it all up for me. He waited and tested and was very, very thorough. On top of the great job and service, he provided good conversation too, clearing showing he's a very bright gentleman. I wish I had the washing machine serviced sooner b/c she hasn't been purring like this since the first year we got it, and has never been the same since our move. He gives a 1 year warranty on his work, which is great too, knowing you're getting the job done right! I hope not to have to call Art for much, but certainly will recommend him to any one I know in Sonoma County with an appliance issue. read more

Arthur is an excellent repairman. He is knowledgeable, experienced and honest. He has repaired my washer and my refrigerator, both in a timely manner and for reasonable prices. He is also very nice. I recommend him highly. read more

Listen up !!! Listen up good!! Art is truly an "appliance doctor" and the best in Santa Rosa. Art arrived with the right tools, parts and expertise. He quickly performed a diagnosis on our LG Dishwasher and proceeded to efficiently disassemble the DW and replace the defective heating element-diverter motor-switch-chopper blade. This LG Dishwasher is 7+ years old and nightmare to work on without the right tools and experience. Art spent the time required to get us up and running. FYI, it took a while. Kudos to Art (The Appliance Doctor) for a job well done. We will use him again - without hesitation. read more

Art is truly a gem in the appliance world! So thorough and focused on the solutions. I trust him implicitly in my home and with my appliances! He looks for details and clues to why something isn't working beyond just the obvious, a great mind at work. Fair prices and amazing "old school" attention to solutions. read more

Arthur is a very nice person. He called me back and came out the next day. He fixed the refrigerator and guaranteed that it will work or he will come back and fix for free. He even cleaned the inside and outside thoroughly. I highly recommend using his service. read more

Art is awesome. Found him here on yelp - could not be happier. Super nice guy, fixed my dishwasher - it now runs perfectly - and he's tidy. I highly recommend him! read more

Aurthur is genuine and cares about your problem. My brand new P.O.S LG appliances(never buy LG) stove, washer machine and refrigerator with in a month had issues, Aurthur was the Factory service tech, he fixed what he could and made a call to get my fridge replaced. I learned alot about front load machines from him, oh boy does he know his stuff!! He even came back and had bought some pads for the washer machine out of his own pocket!! I couldnt be any happier with Aurthur and his service.... and once again NEVER BY LG PRODUCTS!!! if you do call Aurthur read more

Art has helped me on two occasions. The first time, I had a clothes dryer that had a broken sensor. I consulted with Art over the phone and he helped me to solve the problem myself. The second problem involved a gas oven that would not ignite. Art came over and fixed the problem in a jiffy. Its been a couple of months since he did the work and everything is working fine. He was efficient, thoughtful, and considerate in every way. I highly recommend Art! read more

Over some years, I think that Artur has repaired or serviced every one of our major appliances. He is punctual, efficient, and most knowledgeable, and at the same time often offers excellent advice as to practical use and maintenance of the units. We don't even consider looking elsewhere for help. read more

Well Worth the Wait! It took a couple of days to reach Art, but like others who have posted here I kept trying and I was very glad I did. I realized he is just super busy---probably because he is so good. He is so knowledgeable and obviously knows more about appliances than most. He solved our washing machine problem in less than an hour. He is incredibly helpful and a super nice guy to boot! Thanks Art! read more

I called my regular appliance repair company when my refrigerator stopped working. They asked what brand it was and said, " sorry we don't work on that brand and don't know anybody who does"! I looked on Yelp and called the "Appliance Doctor" , I was very impressed with Art's knowledge and willingness to help. Art offer a couple options of what I could do to save on some of the cost. By the end of the day I was back up and running and the cost was minimal. I couldn't be more pleased with the service and the accurate advice. Art will be my first call when I need anything relating to appliance repair in the future. read more
