I'm a landlord and my tenant can't be home during the day. How does that work?

We keep a technician based on the Peninsula in San Mateo County, so East Palo Alto is a regular stop, not a special trip, and we can be flexible on timing. You approve the written quote by phone, we coordinate the visit directly with your tenant, and you get the invoice and diagnosis afterward. The $99 diagnostic is waived if the repair is approved.

The fridge was already here when we moved in. How do I know what brand it really is?

Check the data plate inside the cabinet for the model number. The first three digits tell you the actual builder behind the Kenmore badge, 106 is Whirlpool, 795 is LG, 253 is Frigidaire. That tells me which parts to bring before I even arrive.

Can you come quickly if food is spoiling?

I can't promise same-day on every call, but East Palo Alto sits inside our regular Peninsula loop with Menlo Park and Palo Alto, so we move fast on active spoilage calls when we have any opening at all. Call and tell us that's the situation and we'll do what we can to get you in sooner.

Kenmore in East Palo Alto

Kenmore in East Palo Alto kitchens.

East Palo Alto is a dense, working city, and a lot of the calls I get here are from rental apartments along Bay Road, Runnymede, and University Avenue rather than single-family kitchens. A dead fridge in a rented unit is not a minor inconvenience, it's spoiled groceries and a landlord who needs an answer fast, so I try to give both tenant and owner a straight diagnosis and a written quote the same visit.

Kenmore is a store brand, not a manufacturer, and the actual builder, Whirlpool, LG, or Frigidaire, is stamped in the model prefix on the data plate. In a city with this much rental turnover, I've seen every generation of that badge come through, some units original to the building and others swapped in more recently. We keep a technician based on the Peninsula in San Mateo County, so East Palo Alto is inside our regular route with Menlo Park and Palo Alto, not an outlying call.

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.

Door gasket failure from heavy household turnover. In a rented unit with several people sharing one kitchen, the fridge door opens far more times a day than it was designed for, and the Kenmore gasket splits at the hinge corner faster than it would in a single-family home. Once the seal goes, the compressor runs long trying to hold temperature, frost builds inside the freezer, and the utility bill climbs before anyone connects it to the door.
Water inlet valve scaling in older apartment plumbing. Apartment buildings along Bay Road with older plumbing runs tend to feed the fridge's water inlet valve harder water than a newer single-family line, and the valve screen scales over in a few years. Ice production slows first, then stops, and the dispenser drips before it quits outright. I check flow rate before replacing the valve, since a clogged screen is a cheaper fix than people expect.
Compressor start relay wear on older Whirlpool-built 106 units. A share of the Kenmores in East Palo Alto's older rental stock are Whirlpool-built 106-series units old enough that the start relay is due. The compressor clicks, tries to start, and drops out, and the fridge sits warm between attempts. I meter the compressor windings first, because a relay swap on a compressor that's already failing electrically won't hold.
