Do you cover the hillside streets as well as downtown El Sobrante?

Yes. All of 94803 is covered, from the downtown stretch of San Pablo Dam Road and the triangle near Appian Way to El Sobrante Manor and the homes up in the hills.

The fridge is making a grinding noise but still cools. Can it wait?

Not for long. A grinding fan keeps turning until the bearing seizes, and then the fresh-food side warms and food spoils. Replacing a fan motor is a small job while the fridge still works. If ice is hitting the blade, the defrost system needs attention too.

We have an old Kenmore in the kitchen and another in the garage. Can one visit cover both?

Yes. Mention both when you book and our technician will look at each one on the same trip. The written quote lists them separately, so you can repair one and retire the other if that is the better call.

Kenmore in El Sobrante

Kenmore in El Sobrante kitchens.

Roughly three quarters of El Sobrante's housing was built between 1940 and 1979: old ranchettes, later subdivisions, and apartments and condos along San Pablo Dam Road, Valley View Road and Appian Way. The Kenmores still running tend to be older units, and they fail in predictable places: the fans, the defrost system and the start relay.

Our technician serving El Sobrante is based in Benicia. The model number comes first, since a 106 prefix means Whirlpool built it and a 795 means LG, and each has its own weak points and parts situation. The $99 diagnostic is credited toward the repair if you approve it, and you get the quote in writing first. When a fridge near the end of its life is not worth the money, we tell you.

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 handle.

Evaporator fan grinding behind the freezer panel. A grinding or chirping from inside the freezer, especially right after the compressor starts, is usually a dry fan bearing or ice striking the blade. We check for ice first, since that points to a defrost fault, then replace the fan motor if the bearing is worn.
Defrost heater burned out. When the defrost heater opens, frost builds across the freezer coil and the refrigerator warms over several days. We confirm it with a continuity test, replace the heater, and test the defrost thermostat at the same time.
Ice maker filling but not dropping cubes. If the ice maker fills but never harvests, the module, its heater or the fill amount is off. With EBMUD's soft to moderate water, scale is rarely the cause. We run the ice maker through its test cycle and replace the module if it fails.
