How long is the trip from San Ramon to Lafayette?

About 20 minutes, up 680 and onto 24. We route Lafayette with Orinda, Walnut Creek, and Alamo, and that corridor runs often enough that most calls get a slot within a day.

Our fridge is in a tight alcove from a 90s remodel. Is that a problem?

Usually no, but tell us when you book. I bring appliance rollers and floor protection, and if the alcove blocks condenser airflow I will point it out, since a starved condenser shortens the life of every part I might replace.

What if the diagnosis says the unit is not worth fixing?

You pay the $75 diagnostic and get the finding in writing, including what failed and what a repair would have cost. If you buy a new unit and have us install it, the installation carries our 10 year parts and 10 year labor warranty.

Kenmore in Lafayette

Kenmore in Lafayette kitchens.

Lafayette kitchens get remodeled, but Lafayette Kenmores rarely get thrown away. They move to the garage or the basement and keep working, which is why so many of our calls here are for units ten to twenty years old in unconditioned spaces. Hillside homes off the downtown grid add their own twist, since a fridge in a cool lower level behaves differently than one in a warm kitchen.

The repair starts at the data plate. Kenmore was built by Whirlpool, LG, or Frigidaire depending on the year, the model prefix says which, and the parts bins do not overlap. Confirming that before ordering is how a repair stays a single return visit instead of a saga.

We are ADRIUM Service Solutions from San Ramon, EPA 608 Universal certified, CSLB #1136642. Written quotes, $75 diagnostic waived with repair, one year repair warranty, 7 days a week.

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.

Adaptive defrost control letting frost win. Whirlpool-built Kenmores with electronic defrost lose cooling gradually when the control stops cycling the heater. Owners notice soft ice cream first, then warm milk. I meter the heater and bimetal before touching the board, because in about a third of these calls the board is innocent.
Air damper stuck on single-evaporator models. The motorized damper that feeds cold air to the fresh food section jams with age. Frozen lettuce means stuck open, spoiling milk means stuck closed. It is a model-specific assembly, one more reason the data plate gets photographed before the parts order.
Upright freezer defrost failure in the garage. Lafayette garages hold a lot of Kenmore upright freezers, and their defrost circuits fail the same way the refrigerators do. Frost creeps over the coil, temperature climbs into the teens, and food is at risk. Caught early it is a heater or thermostat, not a new freezer.
