What is your travel time to Hillsborough from San Ramon?

Roughly fifty to sixty minutes across the San Mateo Bridge on 92. We plan Hillsborough alongside Atherton, Palo Alto, and Los Altos Hills stops on dedicated Peninsula days, so you get a confirmed window rather than an open-ended wait.

The washer is in the basement. Does that change the repair?

It changes the diagnosis more than the repair. Basement installs often have long drain and vent runs that cause repeat failures, so I check the full drain path and exhaust airflow, not just the machine. The written quote covers what I actually found.

Do you charge extra for weekend visits to Hillsborough?

No weekend surcharge. We run seven days a week at the same rates, with the same $75 diagnostic credited to the repair. Peninsula weekend slots fill early, so book a day or two ahead when you can.

Maytag in Hillsborough

Maytag in Hillsborough kitchens.

Hillsborough is all residential, no storefronts, and a lot of the housing goes back to the 1930s through the 60s. Older homes here often keep the laundry in a basement or a back service room, and the machines down there are frequently Maytag: a Bravos or Centennial washer bought for durability, running a decade or more between service calls.

Basement laundry brings its own patterns. Long drain runs clog, damp rooms corrode connections, and dryers vent through long duct paths that stress heating components. We diagnose with that context in mind instead of just swapping the loudest part.

The service call is $75 for diagnosis, credited toward the repair, and every quote is written before work starts. We carry EPA Section 608 Universal certification for refrigerator sealed-system work, and warranty runs one year on major parts, two years on sealed systems.

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.

What the work looks like

A dishwasher leaking from the pump and sump.

The base of a Whirlpool-family dishwasher, where the circulation pump, sump, and diverter live. A worn pump seal, a cracked sump, or the diverter lets water past and onto the floor.

Common repairs we do

What we close on the truck.

Maytag washer humming but not draining. In older Hillsborough homes the drain pump (W10536347 on many Bravos models) takes a beating from long standpipe runs and the occasional sock. I pull the pump, clear the housing, and test drain flow at the standpipe itself, because a new pump pushing into a half-clogged pipe fails again fast.
Dryer thumping and leaving marks on clothes. Flat-spotted drum rollers make a rhythmic thump, and once a roller seizes it can scuff the drum. On Centennial dryers I replace the full roller set with the belt and idler in one pass. The parts are cheap; the labor is in the disassembly, so doing it piecemeal wastes your money.
Top-freezer refrigerator running warm with the fan silent. When a Maytag top-freezer holds temperature in the freezer but not the fresh food section, the evaporator fan motor is a prime suspect. It stops moving cold air down, food spoils on the top shelf first. It is a straightforward part swap once diagnosed, and much cheaper than sealed-system work.
