Some companies treat East Palo Alto as an afterthought. Are you one of them?

No. It sits on the same regular route our Peninsula technician runs through San Mateo County, and it gets scheduled the same way any other city on that route does. I'm not going to claim same day guaranteed, because I don't offer that anywhere, but the response here isn't slower than its neighbors.

I'm a tenant and the landlord is slow to approve repairs. Does the written quote help?

It should. You get a dated quote naming the failed part, the price, and our contact information, CSLB number included, which owners tend to act on faster than a phone call secondhand. You're welcome to have the landlord call us directly with any questions.

Why charge $99 just to look at it?

Because it buys a real diagnosis, not a guess. I confirm the model, run the fault down to the actual part, and give you that in writing. Book the repair and the $99 is credited toward the repair. If replacing the fridge makes more sense, you'll hear that plainly instead of paying for parts that won't fix it.

Kenmore in East Palo Alto

Kenmore in East Palo Alto kitchens.

East Palo Alto runs on dense rental housing and working families, and Kenmore refrigerators are everywhere in it, the basic top freezer a landlord installs between tenants and the larger side by side a family depends on every single day. Sears sold every one of them but built none of them. LG, Whirlpool, and Frigidaire made the actual machines, and the model sticker inside the door is what tells me which one I'm looking at.

A family running a fridge hard, ice maker going constantly, door opening dozens of times a day, wears different parts than a rental unit sitting mostly empty between leases. I look at how the household actually uses the machine before I decode the model, because both pieces of information point toward the real failure.

Because our Peninsula technician lives in San Mateo County, East Palo Alto sits on a short, ordinary route rather than a special case. The visit costs $99, credited toward the repair, and you get the price and the part named in writing first, 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.

Torn gaskets from rental turnover. High turnover rentals are hard on refrigerator doors, movers lean on them, kids swing off them, and the gasket tears or the hinge sags until the door stops sealing. The fridge starts sweating on the outside and running nonstop trying to hold temperature. A new gasket exists for nearly every Whirlpool and Frigidaire built Kenmore, and realigning the door alongside it is usually enough to stop the constant cycling.
Stripped icemaker gears in high demand households. Families that go through ice fast run the icemaker's auger motor far harder than the average household, and the plastic drive gear inside eventually strips, leaving the tray half filled and the cubes fused into a block. I open the module, confirm the gear is the actual failure point, and replace the motor assembly rather than fighting a jammed tray by hand.
Overheating compressors in tight rental kitchens. A lot of East Palo Alto rental kitchens were built with cabinets set close on both sides of the fridge, leaving almost no clearance for the compressor to shed heat. The overload protector trips repeatedly under that stress and the unit reads as dead when it's really suffocating. I clean the coil, add what clearance the layout allows, and confirm the compressor actually runs once it can breathe.
