How quickly can you reach Hayward from San Ramon?

Hayward is a 20 to 25 minute run on 580 and 238. It pairs with the Castro Valley and San Leandro route, so I am through there on routed days. Booked windows get a written arrival time.

My fridge runs constantly but is getting warm. What is wrong?

On the mainstream French-door units in the Hayward flats, a fridge that runs constant while warming is almost always the evaporator fan motor or a frozen defrost drain. Both are one-visit repairs. I confirm which before quoting.

Do you do sealed-system work on built-ins up in the hills?

Yes. Sub-Zero and GE Profile built-in sealed-system leaks are typically two visits, one to diagnose and order, one to install and weigh in. I am EPA 608 Universal certified and set the charge by scale.

Refrigeration Repair in Hayward

Refrigeration Repair in Hayward.

Hayward covers 94541, 94542, 94544, and 94545, and the flats through Fairway Park, Mt Eden, Tennyson, and the Southland area are mid-century mainstream stock. GE, LG, Samsung, Whirlpool, Maytag. The refrigeration that runs in those kitchens is freestanding French-door and side-by-side, and the failures are predictable: evaporator fan motors, frozen defrost drains, and icemakers that quit. I diagnose to the real fault on the truck before I order a part, because parts-swapping on a guess wastes your money and my time.

The Hayward Hills above the CSU East Bay campus run newer and pricier and carry a built-in layer. GE Profile, Bosch, and a Sub-Zero column in the remodeled kitchens. The sealed-system and control-board calls cluster up there. When one of those columns drifts warm I check condenser airflow and read the charge off a manifold before I touch the compressor, since a blocked condenser and a low charge look the same from the front.

What the work looks like

A built-in sealed-system leak repair.

Nitrogen pressure and a soap-bubble test on a built-in fridge line set. We map every leak source before we braze.

The corroded copper up close. After fifteen-plus years this is why a real fix rebuilds the sealed run, so you do not pay the labor twice.

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 do

What we close on the truck.

Evaporator fan motor, freestanding French-door. Compressor runs nonstop, food warms slowly. I fit the OEM motor rather than a cheap aftermarket unit that comes back early, and I verify the airflow split before I leave.
Defrost drain and heater, flats stock. Ice on the back wall, fan rubbing, warming box. Thaw the drain, replace the heater, confirm a full defrost cycle clears it.
Icemaker assembly, Samsung and LG. No ice usually traces to the assembly, not the valve. I install the current version and check whether your serial is covered.
Sealed-system service, Hayward Hills built-ins. Leak recovery, scale weigh-in, 24-hour vacuum on Sub-Zero and built-in GE Profile columns. EPA 608 certified.
