How do we find out who made our Kenmore?

Look for the model number on the label inside the fresh-food compartment. The first three digits give the maker: 795 is LG, 106 is Whirlpool. Read it to us when you book and we can tell you what to expect before the visit.

With Vallejo's hard water, will the ice maker valve keep needing attention?

It can come up more than once over a refrigerator's life, because a fridge filter does not remove the minerals that scale the valve screen. Changing the filter on schedule still matters for flow. We confirm the flow is low at the valve before replacing it, so you are not buying a valve that was fine.

Do you work in Glen Cove and South Vallejo?

Yes. We cover every Vallejo ZIP from 94589 to 94592, so Glen Cove, South Vallejo, Hiddenbrooke, Mare Island and the downtown blocks are all in the area.

Kenmore in Vallejo

Kenmore in Vallejo kitchens.

Vallejo runs from the Victorian and Craftsman houses downtown to Glen Cove, South Vallejo and Hiddenbrooke, and its water, drawn from Lake Berryessa and the State Water Project, is hard. A Kenmore side-by-side or French-door with a dispenser feels that first at the water inlet valve: scale narrows the screen, flow drops, and the ice maker and the dispenser slow down together.

Kenmore never built its own refrigerators, so before anything else we read the model number. A 795 prefix means LG built it and a 106 prefix means Whirlpool, and that decides which parts tend to fail and whether they can still be ordered. Our technician for Vallejo is based in Benicia, the neighboring town. We charge $99 for the diagnostic, credited toward the repair, and put the quote in writing before work starts.

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.

Scaled water inlet valve on a dispenser model. When the dispenser trickles and the ice comes out in small, hollow cubes, we check the pressure at the valve and the flow through it. On hard water the screen scales up, and sometimes the solenoid fails as well. We replace the valve and check the supply line before we leave.
Start relay clicking on a Whirlpool-built unit. A click from the back every so often, with the refrigerator slowly warming, is the compressor trying to start while the relay or overload gives up. We measure the compressor windings first. If they are sound, a new start relay and overload bring it back; if not, we talk about whether the unit is worth a compressor.
Frost blocking the freezer airflow. When frost builds on the freezer back panel and the fresh-food side warms, the defrost heater, its thermostat or the defrost control has failed. We test each one and replace the part that failed, then clear the ice so air can move again.
