How do you route to Moraga from San Ramon?

Usually 25 to 35 minutes, either through Danville and over the hill or up I-680 and back through Lafayette or Walnut Creek. We serve Orinda and Lafayette on the same routes, so Moraga fits into most days and same day visits are often available.

I am a landlord. Can the tenant let you in while I approve remotely?

Yes, that is our normal Moraga arrangement. The tenant provides access, I send you the written quote with photos, you approve by text or phone, and the invoice comes to you. The one year repair warranty is documented on the invoice.

Is fixing a 1998 Admiral throwing good money after bad?

Usually not, if the compressor is sound. These Maytag built boxes have fewer things to break than modern electronics heavy units, and a defrost or relay repair costs a fraction of replacement. I test the sealed system during the diagnostic and the quote tells you honestly which side of the line your unit is on.

Admiral in Moraga

Admiral in Moraga kitchens.

Moraga is ranch homes from the 60s and 70s, families, and Saint Mary's College up the road, and that mix produces two kinds of Admiral calls. The first is the garage fridge in a Moraga Country Club or Sanders Ranch home that has outlived two kitchen remodels. The second is the rental unit near campus where the landlord put a used Admiral in years ago and it has fed students ever since. Both are worth fixing more often than people expect.

ADRIUM Service Solutions runs out of San Ramon, and I reach Moraga through Danville and over the hill or around through Lafayette depending on the day. Admiral is a Maytag built brand, so the failure patterns are predictable and the parts cross to Whirlpool numbers I keep on the van. Defrost faults and start relays make up most of the Moraga work.

You pay $75 for the diagnostic and we waive it when you approve the repair. Quotes are written before work begins and repairs carry a one year parts and labor warranty. We schedule 7 days a week, which helps landlords who need a tenant's fridge running before the weekend.

Common repairs we do

What we close on the truck.

Defrost thermostat failed open, slow freeze over. The bimetal defrost thermostat on 90s Admirals fails open with age, the heater never energizes, and the evaporator turns into a block of ice over a few weeks. In Moraga rentals the tenant usually reports weak cooling rather than the real cause. I replace the bimetal with the Whirlpool cross part and test a full defrost cycle before I close the panel.
Overload protector tripping in summer garage heat. Garages backing onto the Moraga hills get hot in late summer, and an aging Admiral overload protector starts tripping right when the fridge works hardest. The unit clicks off, cools, restarts, and slowly loses the battle. I replace the relay and overload as a kit and clean the condenser at the same time, because dirty coils are almost always part of that failure.
Shelf and door liner cracks on student rental units. Rental Admirals near Saint Mary's take physical abuse. Cracked door bins, broken shelf supports, and torn gaskets let cold air spill and make the compressor run long. These are inexpensive Maytag catalog parts, and for a landlord it is often a one visit refresh that keeps a reliable unit in service for several more lease cycles.
