Do we need a softener for a DishDrawer on Hercules tap water?

Generally no. EBMUD water is soft to moderate, so mineral buildup is rarely what stops a drawer here. Keep the rinse-aid dispenser filled for drying. When a drawer fails, the lid actuator, the wash motor and the flood switch come first on our list.

Is a DishDrawer from the early 2000s still worth fixing?

Often it is. Lid motors, seals and wash motors are still available through the brand's New Zealand supply chain. If one drawer has several faults at once, we give you the total in writing so you can compare it with a new unit before deciding.

Can you get into the new Hercules Bayfront apartments?

Yes. Give us the building's access instructions when you book, whether that is a gate code, a lobby sign-in or a manager to call. We diagnose the appliance in place and send the written quote to whoever approves the work.

Fisher & Paykel in Hercules

Fisher & Paykel in Hercules kitchens.

Inland of Interstate 80, Hercules is mostly two-story homes from the 1970s and 1980s, in the subdivisions locals call the Birds, the Gemstones or the Astronauts. Closer to the bay, Victoria by the Bay and the other early-2000s developments have newer kitchens. A Fisher & Paykel DishDrawer fits in either one: two drawers that run on their own, each at a comfortable height, each with its own motor and lid.

That independence helps when something breaks, because one drawer can keep working while we fix the other. We read the fault log each drawer stores and run the built-in test cycle before touching a part. Our technician for Hercules and this stretch of the shoreline is based in Benicia. Diagnosis is $99, credited toward the repair, and the written quote comes before the work.

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.

Drawer will not lock, F1 on the panel. The lid actuator lowers the inner lid onto the tub seal before each wash. As it wears, the drawer refuses to lock and the start button does nothing. We put in a new lid motor with a new seal on the same visit, since pairing a new motor with the old seal invites a leak.
Bottom drawer drains but will not spray. The DishDrawer wash motor is a brushed-rotor design that runs hot. When it fails, water still pumps out at the end, but the wash itself is a low hum with no spray behind it. We confirm it in the test cycle and replace the motor, usually from stock.
CG cooktop burner will not stay lit. A weak thermocouple makes the flame-failure device cut the gas even when the flame looks fine. The burner lights while you hold the knob and dies when you let go. We test and replace the thermocouple, reseat the cap and check the spark from each igniter.
