LG combo washer-dryer in our Davis apartment was washing fine but not drying at all. Tech found the condensation drain was clogged and the heating element had burned out. Repaired both — works like the day we bought it.
Washer Dryer Combo not drying repair typically costs $150 to $400. This repair requires professional tools and expertise. Most repairs are completed in 1.5-2.5 hours with a free diagnostic visit.
Blocked condenser
Failed heating element
Clogged lint filter
Ventilation restriction
Faulty thermostat
Ventless combo units use a condenser to remove moisture from hot air. Lint and Bay Area water minerals coat condenser fins, reducing heat exchange efficiency. Clothes come out damp after full drying cycles because moisture cannot be extracted from the airstream.
Cost: $150–$280 | Time: 45-75 minutes
The drying heater operates in a humid sealed environment, causing faster corrosion than in standalone dryers. Combo units in Bay Area bathrooms or closets without ventilation see element failures 30% sooner due to ambient moisture never fully drying between cycles.
Cost: $180–$350 | Time: 60-90 minutes
Internal lint pathways in combo units are narrow and hard to access for regular cleaning. Bay Area users running frequent small loads generate proportionally more lint per cycle. Restricted lint paths force the unit to recirculate damp air instead of heating it.
Cost: $120–$220 | Time: 40-60 minutes
The drying thermostat cycles heat to prevent overheating. A failed thermostat may cut heat too early, leaving clothes partially dried. Sensor drift is common in combo units over 4 years old, especially those exposed to constant humidity in Bay Area installations.
Cost: $130–$250 | Time: 35-55 minutes

Our Sub-Zero fridge stopped cooling right before a dinner party in our Noe Valley home. The technician arrived within two hours, diagnosed a faulty compressor relay, and had it running perfectly before guests arrived.
Bosch dishwasher was leaking onto our hardwood floors in Rockridge. EasyBear sent someone same-day who replaced the door gasket and checked the drain pump — completely fixed and no water damage.

“Sub-Zero 36-inch built-in with a noisy compressor. Compressor mounts were worn causing vibration. Mounts replaced and compressor serviced for $295. Fridge is quiet and cooling perfectly. Sub-Zero expertise is rare and valuable.”

“Our Samsung dishwasher was leaking from the bottom. The technician found a loose hose clamp on the circulation pump. It was a simple fix for $120 — I really appreciated the honesty since they could have sold me a new pump. The dishwasher has been leak-free since. Trustworthy company.”

“KitchenAid built-in refrigerator was forming puddles underneath. Clogged defrost drain was sending water out the bottom instead of into the drain pan. The tech cleared the drain, added a drain heater clip to prevent recurrence, and cleaned the drain pan. $175 for a fix that eliminated a really annoying problem.”

“Our LG French door refrigerator stopped cooling overnight. With a fridge full of food, we needed emergency service. The tech came same-day, diagnosed a failed compressor relay, and had it running in under an hour. He also told us about LG's compressor warranty which covered the part. Outstanding service.”

“Our 20-year-old Sub-Zero had a warm refrigerator section. The tech was clearly experienced with Sub-Zero — he diagnosed a failing evaporator fan and weak door gaskets. Replaced both, cleaned the condenser, and the unit is performing like new. $520 for a repair on a unit worth $15K+ to replace. No-brainer.”

“Called EasyBear on a Sunday morning when my Samsung fridge stopped cooling. A technician arrived by early afternoon, diagnosed a failed evaporator fan motor, and had it replaced within 90 minutes. Food saved, stress gone. The $265 was absolutely worth it.”

“Whirlpool fridge compressor running non-stop. Dirty condenser coils were the culprit. Thorough cleaning for $95 service fee. Compressor now cycles normally and energy bill dropped.”

“The technician arrived within 2 hours of my call and diagnosed the issue immediately — a faulty defrost timer causing ice buildup. He had the part on his truck and fixed it in under an hour. My fridge has been running perfectly for 3 months now. Very reasonable price at $275.”

“GE upright freezer was running but not getting below 25°F. The evaporator fan motor was failing. Tech replaced it and also checked the defrost system which was still working fine. $210 total and the freezer is back to 0°F. Saved about $800 in frozen food that would have spoiled. Worth every penny.”

“Our chest freezer stopped freezing and we had hundreds of dollars of meat inside. Called at 8am and the tech arrived by 10:30am. Faulty thermostat was the culprit — replaced in 30 minutes. Saved all our food! Cost was $175. Can't thank them enough for the fast response.”

“Finding someone experienced with Sub-Zero was tough until I found this company. Our 15-year-old Sub-Zero was running constantly and not cooling. The tech cleaned the condenser, replaced the fan motor, and it's been running like new. Worth every penny of the $450 repair — a new Sub-Zero is $12,000+.”

“The notorious Samsung ice maker problem struck our French door fridge. The tech was very familiar with this specific issue, performed the recommended fix including defrosting the evaporator and installing a new ice maker kit. It's been 6 weeks and still working great. $350 well spent.”
