Can you also take a Kenmore call in Crockett?

Yes. Crockett (94525) and Port Costa (94569) are both covered, along with Rodeo's 94572, by the same technician.

Now that Sears no longer owns Kenmore, where do the parts come from?

From the company that built your unit. Kenmore refrigerators were made by other manufacturers, so an LG part fits a 795 unit and a Whirlpool part fits a 106. The catch is age: older Whirlpool-built parts are going out of production, and we check availability before the quote.

The fridge side is warm but the freezer is cold. Should we unplug it?

Keep it running and move perishables into the freezer or a cooler. If you do unplug it for a few hours, frost on a blocked coil can melt and cooling may come back for a while, which points to the defrost system. Mention it when you book, and our technician checks the defrost heater, thermostat and fan first.

Kenmore in Rodeo

Kenmore in Rodeo kitchens.

Rodeo sits on the eastern shore of San Pablo Bay, and the Bayo Vista and Oleum area is mostly small to mid-size houses and townhomes, many built between 1940 and 1969. We also take calls in Crockett and Port Costa. A compact kitchen suits a top-freezer, and on a Kenmore the first question is who built it and whether it is worth a repair.

Our technician for Rodeo, Crockett and Port Costa works out of Benicia. The model prefix tells us the maker, 106 for Whirlpool and 795 for LG, and that tells us which parts to test and whether they can still be had. We charge $99 for the diagnostic and it is credited toward the repair; the written quote comes before any work. If the unit is near the end of its life, you hear that from us before you spend on it.

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.

Top-freezer warm in the fresh-food section. On a top-freezer, cold air falls from the freezer through a damper into the fresh-food section. When the evaporator fan stops or frost blocks the passage, the fridge warms while the freezer stays cold. We check the fan, the defrost parts and the damper, then replace the one that failed.
Door that no longer seals in a tight kitchen. A refrigerator door that bumps a counter or wall in a small kitchen can twist its hinge and pull the gasket away. We realign the door, replace a torn gasket with one in the right profile, and check that the seal holds all the way around.
Water valve failing on a dispenser model. Rodeo and Crockett have soft to moderate EBMUD water, while Port Costa is on Contra Costa Water District water. On any of them, a valve with a failed solenoid or a leaking fitting stops the ice maker or leaves a puddle. We test the solenoid, check the fittings, and replace the valve if either has failed.
