Benicia's water varies with the source. Does that affect an Amana washer?

A little. Benicia blends State Water Project water, Lake Berryessa water and Lake Herman water, and hardness moves with the mix. Moderately hard water leaves some mineral in the fill valve screens over the years, so we check those screens on any slow-fill complaint.

Should we fix a 12-year-old Amana dryer or buy a new one?

If the fault is a fuse, an element, a thermostat, the belt or the rollers, repair usually wins, because these are inexpensive parts shared with Whirlpool. If the motor has failed and the drum bearing is worn as well, we lay out both numbers in writing and you choose.

Can you fix our Amana dishwasher while you are here?

No, and we would rather say so up front. Amana dishwashers sell new at a price where parts and labor rarely beat a replacement, so it is not a repair we take on. For what it is worth, their usual failures are the inlet valve and the door latch.

Amana in Benicia

Amana in Benicia kitchens.

A large share of Benicia's houses went up between 1970 and 1995, when the town grew into a bedroom suburb. Laundry rooms from Southampton to the Eastside have been through a few washer and dryer pairs since then, and an Amana pair is a sensible budget choice when one gives out. We start with the dryer here, because an Amana electric dryer that runs cold is the easiest repair to get wrong. People buy a heating element when the thermal fuse or the high-limit thermostat was the real fault.

Our technician is based right here in Benicia. We meter each part before naming it, so the quote lists the part that actually failed. The $99 diagnostic is credited toward the repair if you go ahead, and no work starts until you have a written quote in hand. CSLB #1136642.

Water and ice systems

The water inlet valve, a common fridge leak.

Every fridge with a dispenser or ice maker has a water inlet valve. The fittings can leak under the cabinet, or the solenoid fails and the dispenser and ice maker stop getting water.

Common repairs we handle.

Heating element burned open on an electric dryer. The drum turns, the air stays cool, and the load comes out damp after a full cycle. We test the element for continuity and check for a coil that has sagged against its housing. We replace it along with any thermostat that tested bad, then confirm heat at the exhaust.
Thumping drum from worn rollers and a dry idler. A steady thump or a squeal as the drum turns usually comes from flat drum rollers or a dry idler pulley. We open the cabinet, spin each roller by hand, and replace them as a set, adding a new belt if the old one is glazed or cracked.
Washer stops with water left in the tub. The drain pump on a newer Amana top-loader can jam on a coin, a hair tie or a small sock. We check the pump and the drain hose first, then the standpipe, since a hose pushed too far down it can siphon or back up. A pump with a burned winding gets replaced.
