How long does it take you to reach Portola Valley from San Ramon, with a real time window?

Plan on 50 to 60 minutes, I-680 down and then CA-92 or I-280 across. Portola Valley rides on the same Peninsula day as our Hillsborough calls, so once you book, you get a written arrival time instead of a guess. For a fridge that is actually down, call early and we will try to work you into that day's route.

We lose power out here during PG&E shutoffs. Does that damage the appliances?

It stresses them more than people expect, especially compressors and control boards taking repeated hard restarts. If something has been acting up since the last shutoff, mention it when you call, since it changes what I check first.

Is it worth repairing a basic Amana out here versus replacing it?

Generally yes. The parts are shared with the wider Whirlpool platform, so a pump or element fix usually costs well under half of a replacement, and replacement on these outer roads means coordinating delivery down a long private drive. If a unit is genuinely done, my written quote says so instead of steering you into a repair that will not last.

Amana in Portola Valley

Amana in Portola Valley kitchens.

Portola Valley's mid-century modern houses in the Ladera-adjacent pockets and the ranch properties toward Skyline tend to keep their original laundry room and a basic kitchen setup even after later additions, and that is where I find most of the Amana units in town, a washer and dryer that have run the same way since the house was built, or a secondary refrigerator in a ranch kitchen that sees daily use.

Amana is built on the Whirlpool platform, so the parts that actually fail, the dryer element, the dishwasher pump, the door gasket, are shared across a huge lineup and stay in stock. That matters on the outer roads here, where a well and septic system means less margin for error on plumbing-adjacent repairs, and a wasted trip is a real inconvenience, not just an annoyance.

We come from San Ramon. ADRIUM Service Solutions, Andrew Kuznetsov, EPA Section 608 Universal certified, CSLB #1136642. Written quote before any work, $99 diagnostic waived with repair, 90-day warranty on repairs (one year on inverter boards), seven days a week.

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 do

What we close on the truck.

Dryer thumping and squealing in a laundry room that has run since the house was built. A mid-century Amana dryer in one of the Ladera-adjacent homes often has never had the idler pulley touched, and by the time it announces itself with a squeal or a thump on startup, the belt underneath is glazed and close to failing outright. I replace the idler, the belt, and the drum rollers in one visit, because a laundry room this original does not need a repeat call for the same fault.
Dishwasher finishing the cycle but dishes come out gritty. When an Amana dishwasher runs its full cycle but the dishes come out gritty, the circulation pump is not moving enough water, often because the impeller has picked up a chip of glass or a bit of debris. I open the sump, clear it, and test the motor directly. On well-fed properties I also check the inlet valve screen, since mineral content can throw the same symptom without a pump fault at all.
Refrigerator running warm in a ranch kitchen after a PG&E power shutoff. A public safety power shutoff followed by a rough restart is a common way an older Amana refrigerator ends up running warm, since the start relay takes the brunt of a hard restart after hours without power. I test the relay and the compressor's starting current, and if the unit restarted clean but is still warm, I check the door seal and the damper next, since those fail quietly over time too.
