Our Gaggenau wine column runs nonstop every Clayton summer. Is that a fault?

Longer run times on a hot day are normal. Running without a break while the temperature creeps up is not. A clean condenser and a working fan are the first things we look at.

Is a Gaggenau column in a 1990s Clayton kitchen still worth repairing?

Most of the time. A column set into custom panels is expensive to replace, and the BSH platform it shares with Thermador Freedom and Bosch columns keeps parts in supply. A failed compressor on an old column is where the math gets closer, and we lay out both options in writing.

Does the CCWD water supply matter for a Gaggenau ice maker?

Any water leaves some mineral in the inlet valve and the ice mold over time. We look at the valve screen and the filter whenever an ice maker stops, whatever the source.

Gaggenau in Clayton

Gaggenau in Clayton kitchens.

Clayton sits at the foot of Mount Diablo, and its summers are hot and dry. That is hard on built-in refrigeration. A Gaggenau Vario cooling column or wine column sheds its heat into the kitchen, and on a hot afternoon a dusty condenser or a slow condenser fan keeps the compressor running longer. A kitchen with two or three columns has two or three condensers doing that work, whether it is a midsize Dana Hills house or a larger Peacock Creek home built from 1996 on.

Our technician for Clayton is based in Benicia, and we cover the whole city, Cardinet Glen included. A visit begins with a $99 diagnostic credited toward the repair, and the repair price is set out on paper before any work begins. CSLB #1136642.

Common repairs we handle.

Wine column warming up in summer heat. The column holds temperature in spring and drifts warm in July. We clean the condenser, test the condenser fan and check the airflow path through the base grille. If the compressor runs without pulling down, our technician, who is EPA 608 Type I certified, checks the sealed system.
Freezer column ice maker not filling. When the ice maker stops, the water inlet valve and its screen come first, then the fill tube heater and the ice maker module. We check the supply at the column, which in Clayton is Contra Costa Water District water drawn from the Delta, and replace the part that failed.
Wall oven cooling fan not running. Built-in ovens run a cooling fan to protect the electronics. When it stops, the oven may shut down or throw a fault partway through a bake, and a hot kitchen adds to the load. We test the fan and its control and replace the motor if it has failed.
