How fast can you get to Milpitas from San Ramon?

It is a straight run down 680 South, usually 35 to 40 minutes outside commute hours. We route Milpitas together with Fremont, San Jose, and Santa Clara stops, so if you book a morning slot we are often already in the corridor. Same-day is realistic on most weekdays.

My Kenmore is 15 years old. Is it worth repairing?

Depends on who actually built it. A 2010 Whirlpool-built 106 with a bad relay or fan is a cheap fix and the platform is durable, so I usually say repair it. An early LG-built 795 with a dead linear compressor is a harder call, and I will give you the honest math in the written quote either way.

Do you handle refrigeration for Milpitas restaurants and markets?

Yes, through our commercial division, Bay Area Refrigeration Service. Reach-ins, prep tables, and walk-in coolers for the food businesses around the Great Mall and Milpitas Square go through that side of the company with the same San Ramon dispatch.

Kenmore in Milpitas

Kenmore in Milpitas kitchens.

Kenmore never built its own refrigerators. Depending on the year, your Milpitas Kenmore came off a Whirlpool, LG, or Frigidaire line, and the first three digits of the model number tell me which one. A 106-prefix side-by-side takes Whirlpool parts, a 795-prefix Elite takes LG parts, and mixing them up wastes your time and money. So on every Milpitas call we photograph the data plate inside the fresh food compartment before anything else happens.

Milpitas gives us a specific mix of Kenmore work. The townhome complexes near the Great Mall and the newer condos around the BART station tend to have counter-depth Elite units squeezed into tight galley kitchens, while the older tract homes off Calaveras Boulevard still run 106-series top freezers that have been going since the early 2000s. I see a lot of second refrigerators in Milpitas garages too, and summer heat in an uninsulated garage is exactly what kills a marginal start relay.

We are ADRIUM Service Solutions, based one valley over in San Ramon. EPA Section 608 Universal certified, CSLB #1136642, written quotes, 7 days a week. The $75 diagnostic is waived when you approve the repair, and every repair carries a 1-year warranty.

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.

Compressor start relay and overload on 106-series units. The Whirlpool-built 106 Kenmores use a plug-in relay and overload package on the compressor. When it fails you hear a click every few minutes, the compressor tries to start and trips off. In a hot Milpitas garage this shows up fast. I test the relay with a meter and check compressor winding resistance before replacing it, because a shorted winding with a new relay just fails again.
Evaporator fan motor failure. A dead evaporator fan means the freezer stays cold but the fresh food section warms up, since nothing moves the cold air upward. On Kenmore top freezers this often starts as a chirp or squeal at night. We stock the common Whirlpool and LG fan motors on the van, so most Milpitas fan calls are done in one visit.
Ice maker module replacement. The modular ice maker in Whirlpool-built Kenmores is a known wear item. The ejector motor strips or the thermostat inside the module drifts, and you get either no ice or a solid frozen block. I run the module through its test points first, because sometimes the real fault is the water inlet valve, and swapping the icemaker alone would not fix it.
