LG Appliance Repair · San Carlos, CA

San Carlos runs from the flat blocks near Laurel Street and the Caltrain tracks up into hillside neighborhoods like White Oaks and Devonshire. The flats are older housing stock, a lot of it updated over the years, and the hillside homes tend to be larger with kitchens remodeled more recently. LG French-door fridges show up in both, though the hillside houses are more likely to have one from the 2014 to 2019 stretch when the linear compressor was standard.

The compressor failure looks the same everywhere in town. The fridge hums, the compressor is clearly running, and the box just will not get cold. I pull the serial before quoting anything, because LG's compressor program can cover the part even years after purchase. Newer LG fridges bought for the flats' smaller kitchens skip that problem and fail instead at the evap fan or the icemaker.

Washers are the other steady call, mostly the dual-inverter front-loaders that throw a suspension-rod fault after enough cycles. That one takes a bench test to confirm before I replace anything.
