About Salmon Bay Appliance
Salmon Bay Appliance is a Seattle appliance repair company that comes to your home, finds the fault with proper testing, and fixes what can be fixed. We would rather replace a worn part than a whole machine, and we tell you plainly when a repair is not worth it.
Salmon Bay Appliance works under a Washington appliance repair license. Every technician holds EPA 608 Universal certification, and LG and Whirlpool have authorized us to service their machines, Maytag, KitchenAid, JennAir and Amana among them. We remain independent and local.
- Washington license for appliance repair
- Authorized for LG and Whirlpool
- EPA 608 Universal refrigerant card
- Sealed systems fixed in the kitchen
- Seven days, 8 AM–7 PM
Credentials
Our license and credentials
Our technicians work in kitchens and laundry rooms across the city every day, from century-old Ballard bungalows to new mid-rises on Capitol Hill. Each visit follows the same order: readings first, a written price second, the repair third.
We are an LG and Whirlpool authorized service company, which covers Maytag, KitchenAid, JennAir and Amana too, so covered repairs on those makes are handled by us. We remain an independent, local company and repair the other common makes as well.
The name
Named for a working bay
Salmon Bay sits at the west end of the Lake Washington Ship Canal, with Ballard on its north shore and Magnolia to the south. Until 1917 it rose and fell with the tide. When the locks opened, the bay was lifted to the level of Lake Union and became fresh water, and it has been a home port for fishing boats ever since.
Salmon still come through every summer and fall, climbing from the Sound toward the lakes and creeks where they spawn. A bay that keeps old boats in service and still sees the salmon return seemed like the right name for a company that keeps appliances running.
How we work
Four habits on every visit
Readings before parts
We meter the circuit before naming a part, so you do not pay for guesses.
One written price
The repair price, part and work together, is on paper before anything is replaced.
Repairs where the machine stands
Sealed-system work included. Nothing is hauled across town to a shop.
Plain answers
If an appliance is not worth fixing, we say so on the first visit and stop there.

Describe the trouble and we ring back to fix a time and quote the visit charge. The repair figure goes on paper, and nothing gets unscrewed until you have read it and said yes.
