Refrigerator not cooling, washer leaking, dryer not heating or dishwasher not draining? From downtown high-rises to older houses, we help City of Miami homeowners and renters reach repair help. Call to reach an independent local repair professional who serves your ZIP code.
Choose your appliance to see common causes, what's safe to check first and when to call.
Not cooling, leaking, ice maker problems or new noises. Built-in and counter-depth models are common in condo kitchens; mention it if yours sits flush with the cabinets.
Won't drain or spin, leaking, shaking or not starting. Stacked and compact washers are common in condo closets; note the exact model and how the unit is installed.
No heat, long drying times, loud noises or not starting. Some buildings maintain shared dryer ducts; ask management who cleans the duct for your unit.
Not draining, not cleaning, leaking or showing an error code. If you see water, turn off the supply valve under the sink; leaks can reach the unit below.
Many homes in the city are in large condo and apartment buildings, where a repair visit is part appliance problem and part logistics. Ask the front desk or management how contractors check in, whether the service elevator needs to be reserved, and whether work is limited to certain hours. Have those answers ready when you call so the contractor can plan the visit.
Space is the other factor. City apartments often fit a stacked washer-dryer into a closet or put a slim, counter-depth refrigerator in a galley kitchen. Note the exact model number, measure the opening, and say whether the unit is built in. Removing trim panels or sliding a built-in out of its opening takes time, and contractors appreciate knowing in advance.
Because most City of Miami households rent, the first call is often to the landlord. Many leases make the property owner responsible for appliances that came with the unit. If the appliance is yours, or your landlord asks you to set up the repair, we'll connect you with an independent contractor who serves your ZIP code.
Many condo and apartment buildings ask for advance notice, a reserved service elevator or the contractor's details before a repair visit. Check with management before you book a time.
In multi-unit buildings, a leaking washer, dishwasher or refrigerator water line can reach the unit below. Know where your unit's shut-off valves are.

The City of Miami is the incorporated city at the center of Miami-Dade County. Its neighborhoods run from Downtown and Brickell to Little Havana, Allapattah, Wynwood, Edgewater, Little Haiti, Coconut Grove and Flagami. Many people say “Miami” for the whole county, but this page is about the city itself. For the wider area, see our homepage and the full list of locations.
City of Miami homes are some of the most varied in the county. Waterfront high-rises sit a few blocks from small apartment buildings, duplexes and older single-family streets. The appliance problems are the same everywhere: warm refrigerators, leaking washers and slow dryers. What changes is who arranges the repair and how the contractor gets in.
Yes. The homepage covers appliance repair across the Miami area as a whole. This page is about homes inside the City of Miami's limits, where most residents rent and many live in larger buildings, so the guidance focuses on building access, compact appliances and landlord responsibilities.
Stacked washer-dryer pairs and compact laundry units are common in city apartments, and many contractors work on them. When you call, give the brand and model number and say how the unit is installed, so you can confirm the contractor handles that type.
Ask how contractors check in, whether the service elevator needs to be reserved, and whether repairs are limited to certain days or hours. Some buildings also ask for the contractor's details in advance.
