Our house is up in the hills above San Pablo Dam Road. Is a steep driveway a problem?

No. Tell us about a steep drive or stairs to the laundry when you book, so our technician comes ready to move the machine safely if it has to come out.

Is it safe to keep running a gas dryer that takes two tries to heat?

We would stop using it until it is checked. A burner that fails to light on the first try can leave a little unburned gas in the burner box. The cause is usually the gas valve coils, an inexpensive repair. If you ever smell gas, shut off the dryer's gas valve and call the gas utility.

We live in a condo off Appian Way. Is there anything to do before you arrive?

Clear a path to the laundry closet, find the water shutoffs behind the washer, and check the parking rules for contractors. If the washer is full of water, leave it. We drain it before pulling the machine out.

Amana in El Sobrante

Amana in El Sobrante kitchens.

El Sobrante's housing is a mix of old ranchettes, later subdivisions and apartment and condo buildings, and roughly three quarters of it went up between 1940 and 1979. Where a laundry has a gas line, an Amana gas dryer brings its own set of parts to test: the igniter, the flame sensor and the gas valve coils. A gas dryer that tumbles without heat looks the same as an electric one from the outside, but the fix is different.

We work through the ignition sequence in order instead of swapping parts until one sticks. Our technician for El Sobrante comes from Benicia. Book the $99 diagnostic, which is credited toward the repair, and approve a written quote before any work begins.

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.

Gas valve coils too weak to hold the flame. The igniter glows, the burner lights, then the flame drops out and the dryer runs cold. Or it glows and never lights. Both point to the gas valve coils losing strength as they warm up. We test the coils hot and cold and replace them as a set.
Dryer dead when you press start. A dryer that stays silent usually has a failed door switch, a blown thermal fuse or a drive motor that has quit. On dryers built on the Whirlpool platform the thermal fuse sits in the motor circuit, so a dead dryer can still be an airflow problem. We meter each part in order and find the cause before replacing anything.
Washer stopping mid-cycle with a drain error. A kinked drain hose behind a washer pushed back against the wall, a clogged pump or a standpipe set too high will all stop the cycle. We run the pump into a bucket to separate the washer from the house drain, then fix the hose routing or replace the pump.
