Will a softener or a filter keep Vallejo water from scaling our Maytag washer?

A whole-house softener reduces the hardness that scales inlet screens. A simple sediment filter on the hose does not change hardness much, though it does catch grit. Without either, cleaning the screens every few years keeps a Bravos filling at full speed.

Can you also fix the Maytag range in our South Vallejo kitchen?

No, and we would rather say so up front. Maytag's freestanding MGR and MER ranges sell new at a price where a service visit rarely makes sense, so we do not take range repairs. If a burner will not light, check the breaker and the igniter for crumbs before replacing the range.

Our Hiddenbrooke garage has an older MRT top-freezer that runs warm. Is it worth a visit?

Sometimes. A warm fresh-food side on an MRT often comes down to the defrost thermostat or the evaporator fan motor, both inexpensive parts. We diagnose it and quote in writing. If the compressor or the sealed system has failed, a new refrigerator is the better spend and we will tell you so.

Maytag in Vallejo

Maytag in Vallejo kitchens.

Vallejo draws its water from Lake Berryessa and the State Water Project, and it comes out of the tap hard. A Maytag Bravos top-loader feels that at the inlet valve. Scale builds on the small screens where the hoses connect, the tub fills in a trickle, and the washer times out or skips the rinse. Clean screens and a valve that opens fully fix more slow-fill complaints than any control part.

The Bravos and Centennial pair is the Maytag laundry we work on, whether it sits in a Glen Cove garage from the 1980s or a service porch in one of the Victorian homes downtown. Our technician for Vallejo is based in Benicia, the next town over. You pay $99 for the diagnostic, credited toward the repair, and the price is in writing before any part is replaced.

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 filling slowly or stopping mid-fill. Hard water crusts the inlet screens and can leave the valve sticking. We pull the hoses, clean or replace the screens, and test both valve coils. If the valve body is scaled inside, we replace it and run hot and cold fills to confirm the level comes up on time.
Washer howling on spin and walking the floor. A Bravos that roars on high spin and shifts across the floor has a failing gearbox bearing. By that point the gearbox and the basket spider are worn too, so we quote the full job and set it against the price of a new washer before ordering anything.
Centennial dryer drum dragging with a whine. Worn drum glides and a tired belt make the motor labor and the drum slow down under a load. We replace the glides, the belt and the idler pulley together, since doing them one at a time means opening the dryer twice.
