How fast can you get to El Cerrito from San Ramon?

We run El Cerrito on the same routed Inner East Bay days as Berkeley and Richmond. From San Ramon it's 40 to 45 minutes via I-580 or Highway 24 to I-80. Booked windows get a written arrival time before the truck leaves.

My Bosch fridge fan is rattling loud. Is the compressor going?

Usually not. On the 800 Series French-door units that rattle is the evaporator fan hitting an ice buildup off a frozen drain line. Caught early it is the drain heater and fan motor, not the sealed system. If you let it run for weeks it gets more expensive, so do not wait.

Straight answer

Bosch dishwashers we do not take.

Bosch dishwashers are not a repair we take. Not any model, any year.

It is not a knock on the machines. It is the parts pricing. What a circulation pump, a control board, or a touch panel costs on one of these, set against what the dishwasher sold for new, turns the repair into a bad buy for you more often than not. We would rather tell you that here than charge you $99 to say it in your kitchen.

Everything else from these brands we still fix: refrigerators, ranges, ovens, cooktops, washers, and dryers. We repair dishwashers from every other brand.

That answer does not change by town, so it holds in El Cerrito the same as anywhere else we run. Call us on the rest of the kitchen and we will be out.

Serviced: Fisher & Paykel, Miele, Cove, Asko. We also service every other residential and commercial brand.
Not serviced: LG, Samsung, Bosch, KitchenAid, Whirlpool, Jenn-Air dishwashers

Bosch in El Cerrito

Bosch in El Cerrito kitchens.

Dishwashers are the one Bosch category we stepped back from, so our Bosch work in El Cerrito is French-door and built-in refrigerators, induction cooktops, and wall ovens. Bosch shows up across El Cerrito wherever a kitchen has been touched in the last fifteen years.

On the fridge side, French-door units in the hillside homes run a lighter load than a flatland kitchen closer to the fog, but they still ice the evap fan the same way once the drain line freezes.

What the work looks like

A gas oven burner lighting clean after service.

A gas oven bake burner lighting with an even blue flame after service. The white bar is the glow-bar igniter, and when it weakens the oven will not heat even though it still glows.

Common repairs we do

What we close on the truck.

French-door evap fan icing. A rattling fan noise that gets louder over a few days, followed by the fresh-food side warming up, means the drain line has frozen and ice has built up around the evaporator fan. We thaw the line and replace the drain heater and fan motor together so it doesn't repeat.
Cooktop and oven control faults. An induction cooktop that cuts out mid-cook from overheating, or a wall oven with a hidden bake element that's gone dead, both come down to a control-side failure. Send us the model number ahead of the visit and we usually clear either one after the on-site diagnosis.
Induction cooktop generator board. Element-fault code, intermittent power. Board test and swap.
