Our El Sobrante house has an old dryer outlet. Can that stop the LG from heating?

Yes. A worn outlet or a loose connection can drop one side of the 240-volt supply, and the dryer will spin without heat. We measure it at the outlet first, and if the house wiring is the problem, we tell you to call an electrician.

Is it safe to keep using a gas dryer that is not heating?

Turn it off if you smell gas. If there is no smell and it simply stays cold, leave it off until the visit, since running it only wastes power. Our technician checks the gas connection with a leak detector during the diagnosis.

Do you cover El Sobrante Manor and the triangle area?

Yes, and the rest of El Sobrante, including the homes up the hill. Tell us about stairs or tight parking when you book, so our technician can plan how to bring in tools.

LG in El Sobrante

LG in El Sobrante kitchens.

Roughly three quarters of El Sobrante's housing was built between 1940 and 1979, from old ranchettes to later subdivisions and apartment and condo developments. An LG dryer in a house that age runs on whatever the laundry space was wired or plumbed for: a 240-volt circuit for electric, or a gas line for a gas model. When a dryer tumbles but stays cold, we start at that supply.

An electric dryer can lose one leg of its 240-volt supply and still spin, and a gas dryer can glow at the igniter without ever lighting. We test the house side first, then the dryer's own parts. Our technician, who covers El Sobrante from Benicia, also handles LG washers and refrigerators in El Sobrante Manor, the triangle and the homes above San Pablo Dam Road. The $99 diagnostic is credited toward the repair, and you approve a written quote first.

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.

Electric dryer tumbling with no heat. We measure the voltage at the outlet, then test the thermal fuse, the heating element and the high-limit thermostat. A blown fuse points to poor airflow, so we check the lint path and duct before the new fuse goes in.
Gas dryer igniter glowing but no flame. When the igniter glows and fades without lighting, the gas valve coils are the likely fault. We test each coil and the flame sensor, confirm gas reaches the dryer, and replace the coils or sensor that fail.
Front-loader LE fault in the middle of a spin. On dual-inverter washers, an LE code usually traces to a drifted rotor-position sensor. We test the sensor and the stator at the connector before we condemn the motor.
