You are based in San Ramon. How does scheduling work for Atherton?

Atherton is about 50 minutes for us via I-680 and the Dumbarton Bridge, and we batch Mid-Peninsula work so one trip covers Atherton, Hillsborough, Palo Alto, and Los Altos Hills. That keeps the schedule reliable. Book a window and we confirm the day before. We run seven days a week.

Can you coordinate with our house manager instead of the owner?

Yes, and in Atherton that is the usual arrangement. We send the written quote to whoever manages the property, get approval by email or text, and complete the work with the manager on site. Invoices and warranty paperwork go wherever you direct them.

The LG in our staff kitchen is under the compressor settlement age. Should we still repair it?

If the unit is from the 2014 to 2019 window, I check whether the settlement or the extended compressor warranty still applies before quoting you a paid repair. When coverage has lapsed, the repair still usually beats replacement on these units. Either way you get the numbers in writing first.

LG in Atherton

LG in Atherton kitchens.

Atherton properties rarely have one refrigerator. The main kitchen may run a built-in unit, but the catering kitchen, the guest cottage, and the staff quarters often carry LG French doors and LG Studio columns, and those are the units that quietly fail while nobody is watching them. We drive over from San Ramon and service every LG in the house in one visit.

LG earned its compressor reputation. From roughly 2014 to 2019 the linear compressor failed at a rate that forced a settlement program, and I diagnose those units honestly rather than talking around it. If the compressor runs but will not pump refrigerant, no amount of coil cleaning fixes it. I verify with gauges, then give you a written quote and let you decide.

Andrew Kuznetsov is the owner and holds EPA Section 608 Universal certification for refrigerant work, CSLB #1136642. The $75 diagnostic is waived with repair, repairs carry a one-year warranty, and we are available seven days a week, which matters when the cottage fridge dies the weekend guests arrive.

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.

Linear compressor replacement on secondary-kitchen French doors. An Atherton pattern: the LFXC24726 in the catering kitchen was bought in 2015, ran lightly for years, then lost its pump the first summer it got real use. Light duty does not save these compressors. I confirm the failure on gauges, install the redesigned compressor, evacuate, and weigh in the charge, then document everything for the estate manager.
LG Studio column and counter-depth defrost failures. LG Studio counter-depth units in Atherton remodels show Er dH or frost sheets on the back wall when the defrost sensor or heater circuit fails. The fix is the sensor and heater, sometimes the main board relay, and I test all three before ordering so the second visit is the last one.
Ice maker and water valve trouble in guest cottages. Cottage and pool-house LG fridges sit idle between visits, and the dual water valve gums up or the ice maker fill tube freezes solid. I clear the tube, replace the valve if it will not hold, and flush the line so the unit is actually ready before the next houseful arrives.
