Does Vallejo's hard water shorten the life of a Dacor dishwasher?

It adds wear on the parts the water touches: the fill valve, the heating element and the small holes in the spray arms. Keep the rinse aid topped up and descale as the manual suggests. If glasses still come out spotted, the valve screen or the heater is the next thing to check, and both are replaceable parts.

We put a Dacor wall oven into an old downtown Craftsman. Could the house wiring be the problem?

It can be. An electric wall oven needs its own 240-volt circuit, and in an older house that circuit might be new or might be an old run that was extended. If the display resets or the oven loses heat under load, we measure the voltage at the oven before blaming the ERC board. If the circuit is at fault, you will need an electrician, and we will say so.

Is Hiddenbrooke inside your Vallejo service area?

Yes. Hiddenbrooke, Glen Cove, South Vallejo and the older houses downtown are all covered. If your community has access rules for contractors, add them to the booking note so our technician can get to your door.

Dacor in Vallejo

Dacor in Vallejo kitchens.

Vallejo kitchens range from Victorian and Craftsman houses downtown to the 1980s and 1990s homes of Glen Cove and the newer streets of Hiddenbrooke. Any Dacor in one of the old downtown houses went in long after the house was built, so its circuit and gas line were added or extended along the way. City water comes from Lake Berryessa and the State Water Project, and it is hard. The oven does not care, but a Dacor dishwasher does.

Our technician for Vallejo works out of Benicia, the next town east along the strait. A visit starts with the $99 diagnostic, which is credited toward the repair if you go ahead. We read the stored fault codes, test the part we suspect, and hand you a written quote before any work starts. Gas work is done under CSLB #1136642, with a gas-leak detector on the truck.

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.

Dishwasher leaving a chalky film on glasses. Hard water leaves film when the rinse aid runs out or the wash water does not get hot enough. Scale also collects on the fill valve screen and cuts the water each fill brings in. We check the fill, the heating element and the spray arms, clean what can be cleaned, and replace the valve if scale has closed it up.
Heritage wall oven door no longer sealing. HWO doors are heavy, and over the years the hinge cartridges wear until the door rests slightly open at the top. Heat escapes, preheat slows, and the front of the oven gets hot to the touch. We replace the hinge pair and the gasket together so the door closes square again.
Gas cooktop burner that sparks but will not light. A cracked igniter, a burner cap sitting off-center or ports clogged by a boilover can all leave a burner sparking with no flame. We clean and seat the burner parts, test the igniter and the spark module, and check the gas connections for leaks before we pack up.
