Does the moderately hard Benicia water hurt the ice maker in a Fisher & Paykel?

Over time it can. Hardness here varies with the source, and minerals collect at the inlet valve screen. The fill gets shorter and the cubes come out small or hollow. We measure flow at the valve and replace it when the screen or solenoid is the cause.

Is a ten-year-old ActiveSmart worth repairing?

Often, when the fault is a fan, a valve or a control part, since none of those cost much. A sealed-system leak is a bigger decision. Our technician is EPA 608 Type I certified, so we can quote the refrigerant work and let you weigh it against a new fridge.

Do you also repair the Fisher & Paykel gas cooktop, or only refrigeration?

Both. OB and CG gas cooktops throw a flame-failure code when a thermocouple weakens, and we replace it and test every burner. Induction cooktops and DishDrawers are covered as well.

Fisher & Paykel in Benicia

Fisher & Paykel in Benicia kitchens.

Benicia grew from a small town into a bedroom suburb between 1970 and 1995, so a large share of its homes date from those years and have had a kitchen or two redone since. A Fisher & Paykel remodel here can mean an ActiveSmart French-door refrigerator, a pair of RS90 or RS36 columns, a double DishDrawer, or all three. Each has its own short list of failures, and we start with the one that matches your symptom.

The technician who takes these calls is based right here in Benicia. The $99 diagnostic is credited toward the repair once you approve it, and the price of the fix is on paper before a panel comes off. City water here is moderately hard and changes with the source, which matters for the fill valve on any fridge with ice or water.

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.

ActiveSmart French-door rattling on and off. On this platform the fresh-food evaporator fan motor is the usual source of an intermittent rattle. It is a sealed motor with no serviceable parts. We listen at the fan with the panel off, confirm it, and quote the motor and labor together. Replacing it while it only rattles beats waiting for it to stop and let the fresh-food side warm up.
Column fridge dark while the compressor keeps running. On RS90 and RS36 columns the interface board and the main board talk through a ribbon cable that passes the door hinge. It wears at the bend, and the display goes blank even though the fridge is still cooling. A reset does nothing. We remove the door panel, fit a new cable and check that the boards communicate before closing up.
DishDrawer quits mid-cycle for no clear reason. A small leak drips into the base tray, lifts the flood switch and shuts the drawer down. We take off the toe kick, check the tray for water, find where it came from and fix that. Then we read the stored fault log and run the test cycle, before anyone points at the controller.
