How long does it take you to reach Berkeley from San Ramon?

About 35 minutes through the Caldecott on Highway 24, coming past Orinda. We route Berkeley together with Oakland and Piedmont, so there is usually a slot within a day or two and we confirm the exact window when we book.

I am a landlord with several units. Can you coordinate with my tenant?

Yes, we do this regularly. You approve the written quote by phone or email, we schedule directly with the tenant, and you get the invoice and the diagnosis summary. The $75 diagnostic is waived when the repair is approved.

The compact fridge in my ADU died. Do you work on small units?

We do. Compact and apartment-size Kenmores have the same relay, thermostat, and fan failures as full-size units, just in a smaller cabinet. If the sealed system on a compact has failed, I will tell you honestly when replacement beats repair.

Kenmore in Berkeley

Kenmore in Berkeley kitchens.

Berkeley has one of the oldest housing stocks we work in, and a lot of it still runs Kenmore. Brown-shingle homes in the Elmwood, flats near campus, and backyard ADUs with compact refrigerators all show up on our route. Landlords call us for the same reason tenants do: a dead fridge is an emergency, and a written quote settles the repair-or-replace question fast.

The badge on the door does not tell you what is inside. Sears had Whirlpool, LG, and Frigidaire building Kenmores in different years, so I confirm the manufacturer from the model prefix on the data plate before I touch a part order. That habit is the difference between a one-visit repair and a two-week parts saga.

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.

Laundry

How to spot a bad washer drain pump.

LG and Samsung washer drain pumps side by side. When a washer will not drain or hums at the end of a cycle, this small pump is the usual suspect, and the two brands fail in different ways.

Common repairs we do

What we close on the truck.

Temperature control thermostat on older 253 top-freezers. The Frigidaire-built top-freezers common in Berkeley rentals use a simple cold control that wears out and either runs the unit constantly or not at all. It is an inexpensive part when it tests bad, and I test it rather than assume, because a failed defrost circuit mimics the same symptoms.
Compressor start relay clicking and cutting out. Repeated clicking from the back with a warm box is the start relay dropping the compressor offline. Older Berkeley wiring with low voltage sag makes this failure more frequent. I meter the compressor windings first so we know the relay swap will actually stick.
Door gaskets torn on high-traffic rental units. In a shared house the fridge door opens forty times a day, and Kenmore gaskets eventually split at the hinge corner. The unit then runs long, ices up, and the electric bill climbs. Gasket replacement with the correct manufacturer profile restores the seal and usually stops the frost complaints.
