What is the drive time from San Ramon to Los Altos Hills?

Between 50 and 60 minutes depending on the route, either 680 to 237 or across the Dumbarton. We batch Los Altos Hills with Palo Alto, Saratoga, and Los Gatos, so we come this way on set days and a booked window is the way to get us.

Do you service the Samsung appliances in our ADU on the same visit as the main house?

Yes, and it saves you money. One trip, one diagnostic per appliance, and if we repair machines in both units the same day, the drive is already paid for. Tell us everything that is acting up when you book so we bring the right parts.

Does hard water void anything, or can you do something about the scale?

Scale does not void our warranty. During dishwasher and washer repairs we descale the parts we touch and we will tell you if the buildup is bad enough that a citric-acid maintenance cycle every couple of months would extend the machine's life. That advice is free with the repair.

Samsung in Los Altos Hills

Samsung in Los Altos Hills kitchens.

Los Altos Hills is one-acre zoning and long driveways, with houses ranging from original 1960s and 1970s ranches to recent rebuilds. The town has also added a lot of ADUs in the last few years, and those units get furnished with Samsung almost by default, a compact front-load laundry pair and a mid-size fridge. Those machines carry a full household load in a small footprint and they wear accordingly.

Water is the other local factor. South Bay water is hard enough that scale builds in dishwasher sumps and washer valves faster than in the East Bay, and I see the results in the failure pattern here.

We confirm the driveway and parking situation before we come, since some properties here take a minute to find. Diagnostic is $75 credited to the repair, quotes in writing, seven days a week.

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.

Washer stops mid-cycle with a 5C or SC drain code. Samsung front-loaders throw this when the drain pump cannot move water. Nine times out of ten there is a coin, a hair tie, or a sock scrap in the pump filter, and hard-water scale on the impeller does the rest. We clear the trap, test the pump under load, and replace it only if it actually failed.
Twin Cooling fridge freezing in back, warm up front. When the defrost temperature sensor on the fridge-side evaporator drifts, the coil ices up, airflow dies, and food near the back wall freezes while the door shelves run warm. We replace the sensor, thaw and inspect the coil, and verify both cooling circuits hold their set temperatures before we leave.
Electric cooktop element dead on one burner. On Samsung glass-top ranges a single dead burner is either the radiant element or the switch behind the knob, and on induction models it is usually one side of the generator board. We test at the connector so we replace the right piece the first time, and elements carry our one-year major parts warranty.
