How long does it take you to get to Saratoga from San Ramon?

About 45 minutes, down 680 and across the valley. Saratoga rounds out our South Bay loop with Los Gatos, Los Altos Hills, and the Palo Alto end of the run, so we plan those visits on our Peninsula and South Bay days with reliable morning windows.

Can you check the kitchen fridge and the garage freezer in one visit?

Yes, and in Saratoga we are asked constantly. The diagnostic covers the visit, and I test both units while I am there. Two quotes, one trip, and you decide on each separately.

Our Kenmore still matches the kitchen and we would rather not replace it. Is that realistic?

Usually, yes. The unit underneath is an LG or Whirlpool with parts still in production, and most single faults are repairable at a fraction of replacement cost. I give you the honest number at the diagnostic and the warranty stands behind the work.

Kenmore in Saratoga

Kenmore in Saratoga kitchens.

Saratoga's neighborhoods off Saratoga Avenue and around the village are mostly ranch homes from the 60s and 70s, family houses with big kitchens and, very often, a second refrigerator or freezer in the garage. Plenty of both wear the Kenmore badge, which Sears borrowed from real manufacturers for decades. Whether LG, Whirlpool, or Frigidaire built yours is the first thing I establish, because it changes the parts, the failure pattern, and the quote.

The garage units matter here. Saratoga summers push garage temperatures high, and an aging Kenmore freezer that coasted through winter will fail in the first hot week. We test those honestly, and when a repair will not hold, I say so instead of selling it.

From our San Ramon base we serve Saratoga 7 days a week. The $75 diagnostic credits toward the repair, and sealed system work carries a two year warranty under my EPA Section 608 Universal certification.

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.

Laundry

How to spot a bad washer drain pump.

LG and Samsung washer drain pumps side by side. When a washer will not drain or hums at the end of a cycle, this small pump is the usual suspect, and the two brands fail in different ways.

Common repairs we do

What we close on the truck.

Sealed system diagnosis on 795 Elite units. The LG-built Elites in Saratoga's remodeled kitchens develop compressor and sealed system faults that all present the same way, a unit that runs and runs while the temperature drifts up. Instruments separate a failed compressor from a lost refrigerant charge or a bad thermistor, and the written quote reflects the actual fault, not the worst case.
Garage freezer defrost failures on 253 uprights. The Frigidaire-built 253 uprights in Saratoga garages ice over when the defrost timer or heater fails, and summer heat accelerates the decline. I test the full defrost circuit in one visit. Caught early, this is a small repair that saves a freezer full of food.
Door gaskets failing on units past fifteen years. Long-serving Kenmores here often need nothing more than gaskets. The seal hardens, the compressor runs long, and frost lines appear in the freezer. New gaskets are cheap relative to what they prevent, and on a mechanically sound 106 unit they buy years of additional service.
