I rent in San Pablo. Can my landlord book the repair instead?

Yes, either of you can book. We need the model number, the address and a way in, and the written quote goes to whoever is paying. If the landlord wants to approve it first, nothing is done until that approval comes back.

Our Cabrio bangs hard when it starts to spin. What is that?

Most often an unbalanced load, or worn suspension rods letting the tub swing and hit the cabinet. The Cabrio hangs its tub on four rods at the corners, and when they wear out the tub knocks. We check the rods and the tub bearing, and new rods cost far less than a bearing job.

Is a Whirlpool dryer from the early 2000s still worth repairing?

Often it is. Elements, fuses, belts, rollers and idler pulleys for the WED and WGD are cheap and easy to find, and the cabinet and drum last a long time. If the motor has failed along with a worn drum bearing, we show you both numbers and you decide.

Whirlpool in San Pablo

Whirlpool in San Pablo kitchens.

An electric Whirlpool WED dryer that spins but stays cold has three likely causes: a burned-open heating element, a blown thermal fuse, or a dead leg of the 240-volt supply. We start at the breaker, because a dryer can lose half its power and still tumble. Then we meter the element, the fuse and the high-limit thermostat in turn, and the quote names the part that failed.

More of San Pablo's housing was built from the 1940s through the 1960s than in any other era, alongside a large share of apartment buildings and row houses. Laundry spaces in those homes tend to be small, which matters for the airflow behind a dryer. Our technician for San Pablo works out of Benicia. The $99 diagnostic is credited toward the repair, and the written quote comes 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.

WED heating element burned open. The drum turns, the air stays cool, and every load needs a second cycle. We check the element for continuity and for a coil sagging against its housing, test the thermostats alongside it, and replace what reads bad. Then we measure heat at the exhaust through a full cycle.
Thermal fuse that keeps blowing. The thermal fuse is a safety part. It opens when the dryer runs too hot, so a new fuse on its own just blows again. We check the lint path inside the cabinet and the airflow at the exhaust, and look for a crushed hose behind a dryer pushed tight to the wall. If the duct run itself is blocked, we tell you it has to be cleared first.
WRS side-by-side dispenser gone dry. No water at the door, or water but no ice. On the WRS the usual causes are the inlet valve, a fill tube frozen inside the door, or the dispenser switch. We check for flow at each point, replace the part that failed, and run the dispenser until it pours steadily.
