Our laundry is upstairs in a Hercules two-story. Can a leaking Bravos damage the ceiling below?

It can. A cracked fill hose or a drain hose that has slipped out of the standpipe will send water through the floor. Braided hoses and a drain pan with a line out are cheap protection. If you see drips, shut the valves behind the washer and call us.

Is our Maytag dishwasher worth repairing too?

We do not take Maytag dishwasher repairs. They sell new well under the price where a service visit pays off, so replacement is the honest answer if one has failed. For no fill, it is still worth checking that the water valve under the sink is fully open.

Why does the Bravos in our Birds subdivision house take so long on a normal cycle?

Bravos washers sense the load and add time for extra rinses when they detect suds or imbalance. With EBMUD's soft water, oversudsing is a likely trigger. If a smaller detergent dose does not bring the cycle time down, we check the pressure sensing and the drain pump.

Maytag in Hercules

Maytag in Hercules kitchens.

Hercules is mostly two-story homes, detached and attached, with the older subdivisions along Refugio Valley Road dating from the 1970s and 1980s and newer ones like Olympian Hills and Victoria by the Bay closer to the bay. In a two-story house a washer that goes out of balance on spin is loud, and if the laundry sits upstairs the whole floor carries the thump.

EBMUD water here is soft to moderate, which is kind to inlet valves but easy to oversuds. Too much detergent in soft water leaves foam the Bravos has to rinse out, and the machine slows its spin to cope. Hercules is covered by our technician based in Benicia. The diagnostic runs $99 and is credited toward any repair you approve, with 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.

Common repairs we handle.

Bravos banging and stopping on spin. A washer that thumps and pauses mid-spin may just have an uneven load or a leveling foot that has backed off. If the balance is good and the noise is a howl, the gearbox bearing is going. We level the machine, test the balance system, and quote the gearbox job only when it is the real cause.
Suds left in the tub after the final rinse. In soft water a normal dose of high-efficiency detergent can make more foam than the Bravos can clear. The washer adds rinses and slows the spin. We check the drain pump and the pressure sensing, then set you up with a smaller dose so the cycle finishes clean.
Centennial dryer squealing at the start of a cycle. A squeal that fades as the drum gets going usually points to a dry idler pulley or a worn belt. We replace the idler, the belt and the drum glides as one kit and check the motor bearings while the dryer is open.
