Does hard water shorten the life of an LG front-load washer in Vallejo?

It is hardest on the fill side. Scale collects in the inlet screens and can leave a valve sticking, and on models with an internal heater, mineral can build on the element too. Using the right amount of high-efficiency detergent and cleaning the screens every few years helps.

Should we repair a 2016 LG French-door or replace it?

It depends on the fault. If LG's program covers your compressor, the part may cost little and labor is the main bill. LG kitchen refrigerators have a rough reliability record, so if the numbers come out close, we will tell you replacement is worth a look.

Can you look at an LG in a Mare Island unit or out in Hiddenbrooke?

Yes, both are covered, along with Glen Cove, South Vallejo and downtown. Send the model number from the label inside the fridge or on the washer door frame, and the error code if one shows.

LG in Vallejo

LG in Vallejo kitchens.

Vallejo's water is hard, and on an LG appliance that shows up first at the water inlet valves. The fridge has one feeding the icemaker and the dispenser; the washer has one behind the hose connections. Mineral from the Lake Berryessa and State Water Project supply builds in the small screens and around the valve seat, so a dispenser slows, an icemaker makes thin cubes, or a washer takes too long to fill and flags an error.

We cover LG across Vallejo, from the 1980s and 1990s homes of Glen Cove to Hiddenbrooke, South Vallejo, Mare Island and the Victorian and Craftsman houses downtown. Our technician for this area works out of Benicia, next door. The $99 diagnostic is credited toward the repair, and you get a written quote before any 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.

Fridge inlet valve leaking or passing no water. The fittings on the valve can weep, or the solenoid fails and both the dispenser and the icemaker go dry. We check the screen for scale, measure the coils, look for drips at each fitting, and replace the valve if it fails.
Front-load washer slow to fill. Scale in the hot and cold inlet screens starves the fill, and the washer times out with an error. We pull the hoses, clean or replace the screens, test the valve coils, and run a fill to confirm the flow.
2014 to 2019 French-door running warm with the compressor on. On LG French-door fridges from the linear-compressor years, a unit that runs but will not pump is the classic failure. Our technician is EPA 608 Type I certified and confirms it before quoting, then checks your serial against LG's settlement program.
