What is the appliance doing right now?
Hayward Appliance Care sets up appliance repair for homes and apartments in Hayward, Castro Valley, San Leandro, Union City and across Alameda and Contra Costa counties. Pick the line closest to what you're seeing.
The oven or range smells like gas
A strong smell that lingers means leave the house first. A faint whiff at lighting has a different cause.
Safety stepsPower came back and the fridge didn't
Dark display, clicking at the back, or lights on with no cold air after an outage.
Outage checksThe fridge is warm but the freezer still freezes
Usually airflow: a fan, a frosted coil, or a defrost part behind the back panel.
Why one side quitsWater is spreading out from under the washer
Where the puddle forms, and when in the cycle, narrows it to a handful of parts.
Find the leakThe dryer smells hot or like something burning
Stop the cycle and cut the power at the plug or the breaker. Lint near the heat is the usual start.
Dryer smells and heatThe dishwasher left gray water in the tub
A packed filter, a kinked drain hose or the disposal it drains through.
Drain problemsFrom the call to the fix
How does a broken washer become a finished load again?
You talk to us once. The tech who comes out already knows the brand, the model and what you've seen, so the visit starts with testing instead of questions.
Read us the sticker
Which machine, what it did right before it quit, and the model number off the label. Can't reach the label? The brand is enough to start.
We set the visit
The visit goes on the calendar for your address, and we agree on the time window with you before the call ends.
Tested, then priced in writing
The tech tests the parts your symptom points to, in order, and hands you the price on paper. Nothing gets replaced until you've said yes.
Back in service
The part goes in, and the washer finishes the load it stopped on. You only pay for work you agreed to.
Repairs
Which appliance needs work?
Refrigerators and freezers
Warm fresh-food side, frost on the back wall, water under the crisper drawers.
See the repairsWashers
Won't drain, won't spin, walks across the floor on the spin cycle.
See the repairsDryers
No heat, two cycles to dry towels, a squeal or a thump in the drum.
See the repairsDishwashers
Standing water, a puddle at the door, dishes still gritty.
See the repairsOvens, ranges and stoves
Slow to heat, broil works but bake doesn't, a burner that won't catch.
See the repairsIce makers
Empty bin, hollow cubes, a dispenser that jams.
See the repairsCooktops and microwaves
Induction zones that blink, cracked glass, a microwave that runs but stays cold.
See the repairsGarbage disposals
Hums and won't turn, drips into the cabinet, dead at the switch.

Built-in fridge or pro range in Danville, Alamo or Orinda?
Built-in refrigeration and pro-style ranges sit inside cabinetry, often behind custom panels, and many have separate sealed systems for the fridge and freezer sides. A visit for one of those is planned around getting the unit out, or working on it in place, without marking the cabinets.
On the call, say it's a built-in and read us the brand and model. That's how the visit gets planned around access and parts. Built-in lines to name on the call include:
Covering Danville and Blackhawk, Alamo, San Ramon, Lafayette, Orinda and Moraga, along with the rest of the area below.
When it just broke
What is safe to do while you wait for the visit?
Fridge died, washer flooding, burning smell: what to do first
Breakers, water valves, which doors to keep shut and how long food holds, appliance by appliance.
Fridge dead after the power came back
Resets, wait times, and the signs that a part failed when the power dropped.
Washer leaking: reading where the puddle starts
Hoses at the back, the door seal at the front, the pump underneath, and what to shut off first.
Service area
Do you cover my part of the East Bay?
Hayward is the center of it, from Downtown, Burbank and Upper B Street through the Jackson Triangle, Harder-Tennyson and Mission-Garin, up to Hayward Highland and over to Mt. Eden, Southgate and Glen Eden. Cherryland, Fairview, Ashland, Castro Valley, San Lorenzo, San Leandro and Union City are next door.
- North to Richmond, El Cerrito and the Oakland hills
- East through Lafayette, Walnut Creek and Concord to Pittsburg
- South through Dublin, Pleasanton, San Ramon and Danville
Bay-side kitchens and inland garages wear differently. NOAA puts Hayward's average July high near 75°F and Concord's near 88°F, and that heat is hard on a second fridge in a garage.
Is your ZIP covered?
Type the ZIP where the appliance is. If it's on the list, the next step is the call.
FAQ
What do Hayward callers ask before booking?
Short answers to the questions that come up on most calls.
How soon can someone get to my house?
It depends on the schedule in your part of the East Bay that day and whether the likely part is on hand. Tell us on the call if food is warming up or water is on the floor, and we'll give you the earliest visit we can set before you hang up.
Which brands can you send a tech for?
Name the brand and read us the model number on the call, and we'll confirm the visit is set up for it. Say so up front if it's a built-in like Sub-Zero, Thermador, Wolf or Viking, since those visits are planned differently.
Is a ten-year-old appliance worth fixing?
Often, yes, if the repair is well under half the price of a comparable new one and the rest of the machine is sound. The tech's written price gives you the real number to weigh, and our FAQ covers how long California makes manufacturers stock parts.
Do I need the model number before I call?
It speeds things up, but the brand is enough to start the call. A phone photo of the label works well, and the FAQ lists where the sticker sits on each appliance.
Can a landlord or family member set up the repair?
Yes. Give us the address where the appliance is, the name and number of whoever will let the tech in, and any gate or unit details. The written price goes to whoever approves the work.
The first ten minutes
Ready for a fridge that holds cold and a washer that drains?
In the first ten minutes of the call we'll have the brand, the model and your address, and the visit will be on the calendar.
