Kenmore in Hercules
Kenmore in Hercules kitchens.
Hercules sits on San Pablo Bay, with the 1970s and 1980s two-story subdivisions along Refugio Valley Road inland and newer streets such as Victoria by the Bay closer to the water. A Kenmore in either kind of home could have been built by LG or by Whirlpool, and the badge will not say which. The model number will: 795 is an LG build, 106 a Whirlpool.
The LG-built Elite French-door units, the 795.7206 series and its cousins, use two evaporators and a three-way diverter valve that switches refrigerant between the fresh-food and freezer coils. When that valve sticks, one side drifts warm while the other holds perfectly steady. From the front it looks like a fan or defrost fault, so we force each side on and watch the coil temperatures. Hercules homes are served by our technician based in Benicia. You pay $99 for the diagnostic, which is credited toward the repair, and approve a written quote before any work.

Common repairs we handle.
- Diverter valve stuck on an Elite French-door. One compartment warms while the other holds dead steady, even with the fans running and the coils clear of frost. That pattern points at the three-way diverter valve. It is a sealed-system part, so the fix means recovering the refrigerant and brazing in a new valve, and our technician is EPA 608 Type I certified for that work.
- Compressor trouble on LG-built units. LG-built Kenmores share LG's known compressor weaknesses. A refrigerator that runs constantly but cools poorly, or cycles and never gets cold, gets a compressor check: current draw, start behavior and the temperatures at the coils. If the compressor is failing, we give you the repair and replacement numbers side by side.
- Freezer coil icing over on an LG build. LG builds also carry defrost problems. When the freezer coil ices over, airflow stops and both compartments warm. We test the defrost heater, the sensor and the control, and look at the drain so the meltwater has somewhere to go.

FAQ
Kenmore in Hercules questions, answered.
-
The freezer on our Kenmore Elite is fine but the fridge side is warm. Is that a fan?
It can be a fan, but on the dual-evaporator Elite models it can also be the diverter valve. We check the fan and the defrost first because they cost less to fix, then force each side and watch the coil temperatures to see whether refrigerant is reaching the fresh-food coil. -
Do you come to the newer Hercules Bayfront apartments?
Yes. All of 94547 is covered, including Hercules Bayfront, Victoria by the Bay, the Waterfront and the older neighborhoods along Refugio Valley Road. Tell us about building access when you book. -
Is a sealed-system repair on a Kenmore ever worth it?
Sometimes, on a newer LG-built unit where the rest of the refrigerator is in good shape. On an older unit, a sealed-system job can cost close to a new refrigerator, and we say so. The written quote lays out the repair so you can compare.
