How long is the drive from San Ramon to Hillsborough?

Close to an hour depending on whether we take the Dumbarton or San Mateo bridge. Since Hillsborough sits right against Atherton, Palo Alto, and Los Altos Hills, we schedule it as part of a Peninsula day rather than a single trip.

What warranty comes with a replacement column?

10 years parts and 10 years labor. A repair to the existing unit carries 1 year.

Do you give a written quote before starting work?

Yes, and the $75 diagnostic is waived once you approve the repair, which matters here since we're often checking more than one Miele unit in the same kitchen.

Miele in Hillsborough

Miele in Hillsborough kitchens.

Hillsborough is zoned entirely residential, no commercial storefronts at all, which means every kitchen we work on here is in a large estate property, and most of them run a full Miele suite: MasterCool columns, a G Series dishwasher, often a built-in steam oven and coffee machine in the same wall.

A lot of these properties have a formal kitchen plus a secondary catering or prep kitchen for events, so when equipment goes down it's not unusual for us to be checking two or three Miele units in the same visit.

We come across the bay from San Ramon for Hillsborough calls and route them as part of a Peninsula day alongside neighboring towns.

Common repairs we do

What we close on the truck.

Clogged Defrost Drain on KF Bottom-Freezer Columns. Even in the most carefully built Hillsborough estate kitchen, the KF column's defrost drain clogs the same way it would in any home. Ice or debris blocks the tube, defrost water backs up and freezes under the drawers, then thaws and leaks out somewhere that looks completely unrelated, sometimes into a wine room or butler's pantry below. I trace the drain, clear it, and check the defrost heater and timer before closing the column back up.
G Series Dishwasher Drain Pump, Inlet Valve, and Control Faults. The G Series dishwasher in a Hillsborough catering kitchen gets cycled often, and it fails in three predictable ways: a drain pump that seizes and leaves standing water, an inlet or aquastop valve that fails and either won't fill or trips the flood pan, or a control fault that posts a code. I read the code first and order the exact part rather than swapping components to guess.
MasterCool Column Airflow Restriction and Compressor Overload. Custom millwork in these estate kitchens sometimes boxes the MasterCool column tighter than the vent clearance Miele calls for, all in the name of a clean design line. The compressor can't shed heat, runs long, overheats, and trips the overload protector or starts short-cycling. I check the venting before touching the sealed system, because a new compressor behind the same tight panel fails again.
