  • Washer won't drain or spin
  • Dryer runs but doesn't heat
  • Dishwasher leaves standing water

Know your San Rafael house

Gerstle Park and Dominican have early 1900s homes on tree-lined streets. The Canal neighborhood is low-lying near San Rafael Creek.

The Marin County Civic Center was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Laundry in a basement or closet is common here. Make sure the tech can reach the machine and that there's room to pull it out. Mission San Rafael Arcángel was founded in 1817.

Lint-clogged dryer vents are a fire risk, so have the full run cleaned if drying times creep up. Many older homes have raised wood foundations.

Permits, licenses and your utility

Gas appliances in San Rafael run on service from PG&E, and electric ones from PG&E. If a gas range or dryer smells of gas, leave and call the utility from outside. California registers appliance repair dealers through the Bureau of Household Goods and Services.

Hillside homes face wildfire risk. Your water bill comes from the Marin Municipal Water District, sewage is handled by the Central Marin Sanitation Agency, and the City of San Rafael Building Division issues building permits. San Rafael is the county seat of Marin County.

Questions from San Rafael residents

What should I do before the tech arrives?

Unload the dishwasher or washer if you can, clear the area, and make sure there's room to pull the appliance out from the wall.

My range burner will not light but clicks. What is going on?

Food or moisture on the burner cap and igniter is a frequent cause. Let it dry and clean it gently. If it keeps clicking or never catches, have a tech look, and stop using it if you smell gas.

Any San Rafael details worth mentioning when I call?

Terra Linda and Lucas Valley have many Eichler homes. SMART trains stop in downtown San Rafael. Summers are warmer than in southern Marin, with less fog. It helps to say roughly when your home was built.

Is my neighborhood in San Rafael covered?

Pros we work with cover San Rafael neighborhoods such as Bret Harte, the Canal, Downtown San Rafael and Gerstle Park, in ZIP codes 94901, 94903. Apartment and condo jobs count too, so give the unit number and any buzzer or parking details. If nobody's available, we'll tell you.

Can you fix an appliance I bought online?

Usually, yes. Independent techs work on most major brands. Have the model number ready so they can check parts availability.

Same-day or next-day visits available.
