Our laundry is upstairs. What should we do the moment the Amana washer leaks?

Stop the cycle, shut the two supply valves behind the washer, and soak up what you can before it reaches the ceiling below. Leave any water in the tub if it will not drain. It helps our technician find the leak when the machine runs again.

Is a washer bought when Victoria by the Bay was new still worth repairing?

Usually, if the tub and transmission are sound. A washer from the early 2000s tends to need a pump, a lid switch or suspension parts, and all of those are inexpensive. If it needs a transmission or a tub bearing on top of that, we put the repair and replacement costs side by side in writing.

Will you take a look at our Amana range while you are in Hercules?

Not as a repair, no. Amana freestanding ranges sell new below the point where our range work makes sense for you. One tip that can save money: when an AGR gas burner clicks but will not light, the igniter is almost always the part, not the gas valve.

Amana in Hercules

Amana in Hercules kitchens.

Inland of Interstate 80, Hercules is mostly subdivisions from the 1970s and 1980s, the ones locals call the Birds, the Trees and Flowers and the Gemstones, plus newer homes around the Waterfront and Victoria by the Bay. When the washer sits on an upper floor, a small leak from an Amana top-loader becomes a stained ceiling, so we treat leaks as the first thing to pin down.

An Amana top-loader leaks from a short list of places: the fill hoses, the drain pump or its hose, and the tub seal. We find the source with the cabinet open and the washer running, rather than guessing from where the water pooled. Hercules calls go to our technician based in Benicia. The $99 diagnostic is credited toward the repair, and the written quote comes before any part goes in.

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.

Leak under the washer traced to the drain pump. Water at the front of the cabinet after the drain cycle often points to a cracked pump housing or a loose clamp on the pump hose. We run a drain with the cabinet open, find the drip, and replace the pump or the hose and clamps. A worn tub seal is a bigger job, and we price it on its own.
Top-loader walking across the floor on spin. Worn suspension rods let the tub swing hard during spin, so the washer bangs and creeps. On an upper floor that noise carries through the house. We check the rods and their damping pads, replace them as a set, and level the feet before a test spin with a full load.
Dryer squealing from a worn idler pulley. A high squeal that starts with the drum and fades as the dryer warms up is usually the idler pulley bearing. We replace the pulley, check the belt for cracks, and look at the drum rollers at the same time, since they wear at about the same rate.
