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

We cross the Dumbarton Bridge on 84, which puts Atherton about fifty minutes out in normal traffic. We batch Peninsula work, so your visit lands on a day when we are also in Hillsborough, Palo Alto, or Los Altos Hills. That usually means a one or two day wait rather than same day, and we give you a firm arrival window the night before.

Can you service the appliances in our guest unit and main house on one visit?

Yes, and it is the smart way to do it. One $75 diagnostic covers the trip, and we quote each appliance separately in writing so you can approve them individually. Bundling saves you a second trip charge and saves us a second bridge crossing.

What warranty do you give on refrigerator work?

Ninety days on consumables like water filters and door gaskets, one year on major parts such as compressors, fans, and boards, and two years on sealed-system work. Sealed-system means refrigerant-side repairs, which we are EPA 608 certified to perform.

Whirlpool in Atherton

Whirlpool in Atherton kitchens.

Atherton properties are big, but the appliances that keep them running day to day are often plain Whirlpool. Guest houses, in-law units, and staff quarters here almost always have a standard Whirlpool laundry pair and a basic refrigerator, and those units work harder than anything in the main kitchen. We get called out for a second fridge in a pool house as often as for the family's main machines.

The housing stock runs older than people expect. Plenty of homes off Middlefield and along the Alameda date back fifty years or more, and the laundry hookups, venting, and water lines show their age. A fair number of Whirlpool failures I diagnose in Atherton trace back to the house side, a crushed vent or a tired water valve, not the appliance itself, and I will tell you which it is.

We come over from San Ramon, EPA 608 certified for sealed-system work, CSLB #1136642. Diagnostic is $75 and credits to the repair, quotes are written, and we work seven days.

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.

Front-load washer bearings roaring on spin. Whirlpool Duet front-loaders in secondary units get run daily for years, and eventually the rear tub bearing lets go. The sound is a jet-engine roar on high spin. On most Duet models the bearing is serviceable with the tub split, and I will price that honestly against replacement based on the machine's age before you commit.
Refrigerator warm on top, freezer fine. The classic Whirlpool french-door complaint. Nine times out of ten it is the evaporator fan or a defrost failure icing over the airway between freezer and fresh food. I pull the back panel, check the fan, heater, and thermostat, and replace the failed part rather than guessing at boards.
Dishwasher running but dishes coming out dirty. Whirlpool dishwashers from the last decade use a small circulation pump that loses pressure as it wears. Glasses on the top rack come out gritty first. The pump swaps out from below without pulling the whole unit, and it is a same-visit fix when we have the part on the van.
