Can you work within our building's contractor hours?

Yes. Give us the hours and any elevator booking rules when you schedule, and we plan the visit to fit inside them. If a part has to be ordered, the return visit follows the same rules.

Should we repair the old Admiral or replace it in a condo?

Repair it when the fault is a defrost part, a fan or a gasket. Those are small jobs next to the cost of delivery, haul-away and an elevator booking. If the compressor has failed, replacement wins, and we tell you that before any repair starts.

Does EBMUD water affect the ice maker in our Admiral?

Very little. Emeryville's EBMUD water is soft to moderate, so heavy scale is unlikely. When an older ice maker stops, we check the fill valve, the water line behind the unit for a kink and the freezer temperature, since an ice maker will not cycle in a warm freezer.

Admiral in Emeryville

Admiral in Emeryville kitchens.

Most homes in Emeryville are condos and apartments, from the Watergate towers at the marina to the buildings along the Shellmound corridor. An older Admiral in one of these units might be the fridge that came with the place. Getting an old fridge out of a mid-rise and a new one in means elevator reservations and building hours, so a sensible repair is often the easier path.

Tell us about the building when you book: parking, the loading area, elevator rules and any hours the HOA sets for contractors. Our technician for Emeryville is based in Benicia and plans the visit around those rules. On the unit itself we start with the defrost system, the fans and the door seal. The $99 diagnostic is credited toward the repair, and a written quote comes before any part goes in.

Common repairs we handle.

Defrost timer stuck in a condo kitchen. When the back wall of the freezer turns white and the fridge side warms, the defrost timer has often stopped advancing. We clear the coil, test the timer, heater and defrost thermostat, and fit a Whirlpool-platform timer where the Admiral part is discontinued.
Condenser starved of air in a tight nook. Condo kitchens often box a fridge in closely. With no gap at the back and the lower grille blocked, the condenser cannot shed heat and the compressor runs hot. We clean the coil, check the condenser fan and tell you how much clearance the unit needs.
Door that stopped sealing after a move. If the fridge was pulled out during a remodel or a floor job, the door can sag and the gasket stops sealing at one corner. We level the cabinet, adjust the hinge and replace the gasket if it has taken a permanent set.
