What is the drive time from San Ramon to Los Altos Hills?

Roughly 45 to 55 minutes via I-680 and Highway 237 or 85 depending on traffic. We build Peninsula and South Bay routes that combine Los Altos Hills with Palo Alto, Saratoga, and Los Gatos, so we arrive on a confirmed window rather than a maybe. Seven days a week.

Our ADU tenant reports the fridge is warm. Can you deal directly with the tenant?

Yes. We schedule with the tenant, diagnose, and send you the written quote for approval before any repair. The $75 diagnostic is waived if you approve the work. Owners get the invoice and warranty terms; tenants just get a working refrigerator.

Is a compressor repair worth it on a 9-year-old LG?

At nine years it is a judgment call and I will make it with you, not for you. If the evaporator and cabinet are sound, the updated compressor typically buys years of service for far less than a comparable replacement. If I find sealed-system contamination or a leaking evaporator on top of the compressor, I will tell you to put the money toward a new unit.

LG in Los Altos Hills

LG in Los Altos Hills kitchens.

Los Altos Hills is all residential, one-acre minimums, no shops, no restaurants, which means nobody is walking their broken fridge anywhere. Houses here are spread along Page Mill and Elena Road with long driveways and, increasingly, permitted ADUs that run compact and counter-depth LG refrigerators for extended family or rental income. The main kitchens lean big LG French doors from remodel waves in the mid-2010s, which is exactly the risky compressor era.

Here is the risk stated plainly. LG linear compressors built from about 2014 to 2019 failed often enough for a settlement program, and if your LG French door stops cooling while the compressor keeps running without building pressure, that is the linear-compressor failure. I confirm it with gauges, tell you if any coverage still applies, and put the repair price in writing before touching anything.

Owner Andrew Kuznetsov is EPA Section 608 Universal certified for refrigerant work, licensed under CSLB #1136642. Diagnostic is $75, waived with repair, one-year warranty on repairs, and we schedule seven days a week from San Ramon.

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 swaps on mid-2010s remodel refrigerators. A lot of Los Altos Hills kitchens were redone between 2014 and 2018, and their LG LFXS and LMXS units are now at peak compressor failure age. I verify the pump is dead on gauges, install the redesigned compressor, pull a deep vacuum, and weigh in the refrigerant charge. It is a half-day job done right, and it carries our one-year repair warranty.
Compact LG refrigerators in ADUs cooling poorly. ADU units here often tuck the fridge into a tight alcove with no ventilation gap, and the condenser recirculates its own heat until cooling drops off. Sometimes the fix is a condenser fan motor or a cleaning, sometimes it is honest advice about clearance. I measure temperatures before and after so the tenant and the owner both see the numbers.
LG washer OE drain errors on hillside installations. The OE code on LG front loaders means the drain pump cannot move water out, and on hillside Los Altos Hills homes the standpipe height or a long drain run makes a weak pump fail early. I clean the filter, test pump amperage, and replace the pump when it is actually done, not just noisy.
