  • Santa Rosa (countywide, excludes City of Sonoma per their FAQ): Gold Ridge Appliance Repair — washers/dryers; phone: (707) 525‑9686. (goldridgeappliance.com)

  • Santa Rosa: AVV Service — laundry appliances among others; request online/call via site. (avvservice.com)

If you share your city or ZIP and washer brand/problem (e.g., not draining, error code), I can narrow it to the closest options and suggest who’s best for that brand.

Quick prep tips before you call:

  • Have the model/serial number and any error codes ready.
  • Note symptoms (won’t spin, leaks, loud during spin, etc.) and when they started.
  • If you’re in the City of Sonoma proper, Gold Ridge’s FAQ says they don’t cover it; try Kelly’s, Scott’s, Cain, or Feria instead. (goldridgeappliance.com)

⚠️ A couple of caveats: E&A WASH AND DRY (3450 Airway Dr) is primarily a laundry service and industrial equipment supplier rather than a residential washer repair shop, and Food Equipment Repair Service Inc specializes in commercial kitchen equipment, not home laundry.

What to tell them

Kelly's lists the most common symptoms worth mentioning when you call: unusual shaking or wobbling, water leaks, bad smells, water not draining, detergent/bleach not dispensing, or unusual noises. kellysappliancerepair.com

Quick tips before booking:

  • Confirm they service your specific brand (many shops are factory-authorized for only some brands).
  • Ask whether there's a diagnostic/trip fee and whether it's credited toward the repair.
  • Note whether you have a top-load or front-load machine and gas vs. electric dryer.
  • Kelly's and Feria both work weekdays only — if you need weekend or evening service, Sears (4 AM–8 PM daily) or Morgan (Mon–Sun) are better bets.
