How far is Martinez from your San Ramon base?

About 35 minutes north on 680, the longest leg of our Diablo Valley route. I pair Martinez with Pleasant Hill and Concord stops on the same day, so if your schedule is flexible I can put you on an existing corridor run, which usually means an appointment within two or three days.

My house is from the 1920s. Will old wiring or gas lines be a problem for the repair?

It is a real consideration and I treat it as part of the job, not a surprise. I verify supply voltage and gas pressure at the appliance before condemning any Dacor part. If the house side is the problem, you get that finding in writing for your electrician or plumber, and you have spent $75 instead of the price of a control board you did not need.

Can I keep using the cooktop if one burner will not stop clicking?

If the burner lights and the clicking is just the spark circuit, it is annoying but usually safe short-term. If you smell gas, or a burner sparks without lighting, shut it off at the knob and call us. Either way do not pour water into the burner well to stop it, that makes the corrosion worse and can turn a cleaning job into an electrode and harness replacement.

Dacor in Martinez

Dacor in Martinez kitchens.

Martinez kitchens skew old. The downtown blocks near the county buildings still have Victorians and early-1900s cottages, and the hills toward Alhambra Valley filled in with 1960s and 70s single-family homes. Dacor gear here is almost always a remodel story: someone updated a kitchen in the 2000s or 2010s and put in a Dacor wall oven or gas cooktop that is now 10 to 20 years old and starting to show it.

Older Martinez houses bring older infrastructure. I check gas pressure and the condition of the circuit before blaming a Dacor part, because a starved gas line in a 1910s cottage or a tired breaker in a 70s tract can look exactly like an appliance failure and cost you a part you did not need.

We come up 680 from San Ramon, about 35 minutes. Diagnostic is $75 and credits toward the repair, quotes are written, booking is within seven days, and major parts carry a one-year warranty.

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.

Oven throwing an F1 sensor code and refusing to bake. Dacor ovens flag a failed or drifting temperature probe with an F-series fault code and lock out heating. The probe itself is a modest part, but corroded harness connections behind the cavity cause the same code, and in Martinez's older, damper houses I find the harness at fault more often than the probe. I meter both before replacing anything, which is exactly what the diagnostic fee pays for.
Cooktop burner sparking constantly after a boil-over. One pasta boil-over and a Dacor sealed-burner cooktop can click for days. Liquid gets under the burner cap and into the electrode well, shorting the spark path. Sometimes it dries out on its own, often it corrodes the electrode and the clicking becomes permanent. I clean and test the affected burner and only replace the electrode if it fails dry, so the fix matches the actual damage.
Convection fan rattle in older wall ovens. The convection motor in Dacor wall ovens from the 2000s develops a rattle or squeal at temperature, quiet when cold, loud by the time the roast goes in. Hillside Martinez homes with original remodel-era ovens are the classic case. The motor is accessible and the repair is routine, but I also check the fan blade for heat warp because a warped blade will destroy a new motor.
