We smell gas near the Maytag dryer. What should we do?

Leave the house, do not switch anything on or off, and call the gas utility or 911 from outside. Once the gas side is made safe, we can test the dryer's valve and connections. A faint smell for a second at ignition can be normal, but a steady smell is not.

Our ranchette has the laundry in a detached building. Can you work on it there?

Yes. We need power and water to the machines and enough light to work. If the building has no heat and the washer sits cold in winter, we also check the hoses and valve for cracks.

Is it worth fixing a Maytag dryer from the 2000s in our El Sobrante house?

Usually. Belts, glides, idler pulleys, igniters and thermostats are all inexpensive, and the drum and cabinet of a Centennial last a long time. We quote the repair in writing and tell you if something bigger has failed.

Maytag in El Sobrante

Maytag in El Sobrante kitchens.

El Sobrante is a mix of old ranchettes, later subdivisions, established neighborhoods like El Sobrante Manor, and apartments and condos, with about three quarters of the housing built between 1940 and 1979. A house of that age may have a gas line to the laundry, and a gas Centennial has its own set of parts: an igniter, a flame sensor and the coils on the gas valve.

When a gas dryer tumbles without heat, one of those three is usually the reason, and we test them in order rather than guess. The Bravos washers beside them fail at the lid switch first and the gearbox bearing later. A technician based in Benicia covers El Sobrante, including the hill streets above San Pablo Dam Road. The $99 diagnostic is credited toward the repair, and the quote comes in writing.

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.

Common repairs we handle.

Gas Centennial with no heat or heat that comes and goes. If the igniter glows and the flame lights once but not again, the gas valve coils are weakening. If the igniter never glows, it or the thermal fuse has opened. We test each with a meter and watch a full heat cycle before replacing anything.
Bravos lid switch fault. The washer clicks and does not start, or stops with a lid code. We test the lock and switch assembly and the wiring through the hinge, replace the failed part, and run a full cycle to confirm.
Washer draining slowly into an older laundry sink. An older laundry sink or standpipe can drain slower than a modern pump expects. We test the washer's pump and hose, and if the machine is fine, we show you where the house drain is holding things up.
