Our building needs a contractor's details ahead of time. Can you work with that?

Yes. Tell us what the building asks for when you book, whether that is a name for the front desk, an elevator reservation or a work window, and we arrange the visit around it.

Is it worth repairing an older Kenmore in a condo, or easier to replace it?

Replacement in a condo is more than the price of a fridge: delivery, the elevator booking and hauling the old one away. That makes a relay, fan or defrost repair an easy call. A failed compressor on an older unit is a closer decision, and we give you the numbers to compare.

Do you cover the Watergate and the Bay Street area?

Yes. All of 94608 is covered, including the Watergate at the marina, the Powell Street and Bay Street district and the buildings along the Shellmound corridor.

Kenmore in Emeryville

Kenmore in Emeryville kitchens.

Emeryville's homes are mostly condos and apartments: the high-rise and mid-rise Watergate buildings at the marina, and the residential blocks built on the old rail yards and along the Shellmound corridor. A Kenmore in one of these units lives by the building's rules, and replacing it means booking the service elevator and getting a new refrigerator through the door, so it is worth knowing first whether a repair will hold.

The technician who covers Emeryville is based in Benicia. We identify the maker from the model number before quoting: an LG-built Kenmore carries LG's compressor and defrost weaknesses, while a Whirlpool-built one is sturdier but often harder to find parts for. You pay $99 for the diagnostic, credited toward the repair, and get the quote in writing before work starts.

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.

LG-built French-door that runs but never gets cold. A refrigerator that runs constantly and still cannot pull the temperature down gets a compressor check first on an LG build. We measure the current draw and the coil temperatures. If the compressor is failing, we lay out the repair against a replacement so you can decide.
Freezer coil icing over. When defrost fails, frost seals the freezer coil and both compartments slowly warm. We test the defrost heater, the sensor and the control, then clear the ice and check the drain so it does not refreeze.
Noisy fan in an open-plan kitchen. In a unit where the kitchen opens to the living room, a buzzing condenser fan or a grinding evaporator fan is hard to live with. We find which fan it is, replace the motor, and check that nothing else was rubbing.
