You are based in San Ramon. How does scheduling work for Atherton?

We come across the Dumbarton Bridge, about 50 minutes door to door, and we group Atherton with our Hillsborough, Palo Alto, and Los Altos Hills stops. That means we book Peninsula days rather than one-off trips. In practice you get a firm arrival window within a couple of days, 7 days a week.

Can you service the LG appliances in our rental unit or guest house?

Yes, and we do a lot of it. We can coordinate directly with a tenant or house manager for access, send the written quote to the owner for approval, and invoice the owner. Nothing gets replaced without a signed-off quote.

Is an LG linear compressor replacement worth it on a 2016 fridge?

Usually yes. The cabinet, doors, and electronics on these units are fine, and the failure is concentrated in one component. The updated compressor holds up better, and our two-year sealed-system warranty covers you longer than most people expect the question to even come up again.

LG in Atherton

LG in Atherton kitchens.

Atherton calls usually come from family homes off Middlefield or near Holbrook-Palmer Park, and quite often from a guest house or an ADU where the landlord put in an LG stack washer-dryer and an LG bottom-freezer fridge. Those are exactly the machines we handle every week: the laundry pairs are excellent, and the refrigerators from the linear-compressor years need a technician who has done that job many times.

We cross the bay from San Ramon, so Atherton visits are scheduled, not squeezed in. We confirm the model and serial before we drive, and for the common LG failures we bring the likely part on the first trip. That is the difference between one visit and two when you are 40 miles from the shop.

Every job starts with a $75 diagnostic credited to the repair, a written quote, and our standard warranty: 90 days on consumables, one year on major parts, two years on sealed-system work.

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.

Warm refrigerator, freezer still frosty on the outside coils. The linear compressor loses pumping capacity gradually, so an Atherton owner often notices milk spoiling before any error code shows. We check compressor amperage and system pressures on site. If the compressor is done, we replace it with the revised part, weigh in a fresh refrigerant charge under our EPA 608 certification, and back the work for two years.
OE drain errors on stacked WM washers. ADU and guest house installs usually mean a stacked pair in a closet. Lint and coins collect in the drain pump filter, and when the pump impeller finally cracks the washer stops with OE and a drum full of water. We clear the trap, test the pump under load, and replace it if the bearing is noisy. Access in a closet stack is tight, which is why this is a bad DIY job.
LG dishwasher AE leak shutdown. LDF and LDT dishwashers have a float in the base pan. A weeping sump seal or a loose Vario motor clamp drips into the pan, the float trips, and the machine locks out with AE and runs the drain pump nonstop. We pull the unit, find the actual leak point, and reseal it rather than just drying the pan and hoping.
