How long does it take you to get to Martinez from San Ramon?

About 30 minutes up 680 past Walnut Creek, Pleasant Hill, and Concord. Martinez anchors the north end of that corridor for us, so we usually pair it with Pleasant Hill and Concord calls and give you a confirmed window at booking.

The house is a 1910 Victorian with narrow doorways. Can you work with that?

Yes, most repairs happen in place with the unit rolled forward a couple of feet, no doorway involved. Tell us about tight access when you book and I plan the visit around it, including floor protection for original wood.

Do you handle refrigeration for shops downtown?

Commercial units, reach-ins, prep tables, and walk-ins run through our commercial division, Bay Area Refrigeration Service. Same company, same EPA 608 Universal certification, separate line of service built for businesses.

Kenmore in Martinez

Kenmore in Martinez kitchens.

Martinez has real age in its housing stock, Victorians and bungalows downtown near the waterfront and postwar homes up the hills, and the refrigerators match. We see more 90s and 2000s Kenmores per block in Martinez than almost anywhere else on our routes, most of them Whirlpool-built or Frigidaire-built and most of them absolutely worth repairing.

The repair discipline is simple: read the data plate first. Kenmore models carry a prefix that names the true manufacturer, 106 for Whirlpool, 253 for Frigidaire, 795 for LG, and the parts follow the factory, not the badge. A 2005 and a 2015 Kenmore can be entirely different machines.

ADRIUM Service Solutions comes up from San Ramon. EPA 608 Universal certified, CSLB #1136642, written quotes, the $75 diagnostic is waived with repair, and repairs carry a one year warranty. We work 7 days.

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.

Defrost heater failure on 253-series units. The Frigidaire-built top-freezers common in Martinez fail at the glass defrost heater. Frost coats the back wall of the freezer, the fresh food side warms, and a manual thaw fixes it for exactly three weeks. Heater and bimetal thermostat get metered together, since they wear as a pair.
Cold control thermostat drifting with age. Twenty year old mechanical thermostats lose calibration, freezing produce on one setting and spoiling milk on the next. It is a cheap, satisfying repair on a unit whose compressor still runs strong, which describes a lot of Martinez Kenmores.
Water inlet valve weeping onto original hardwood. In older Martinez houses a slow ice maker valve leak finds its way onto fir and oak floors that do not forgive water. I treat these as priority calls, shut the water at the unit, and replace the valve with the correct manufacturer part.
