If it cannot be resolved over the call, we will send someone out to your home as soon as possible. The first course of action will be to troubleshoot the issue and determine the root cause. Once the cause has been identified, we will figure out what needs to be repaired and which parts (if any) would need to be replaced. In most cases, the more economical option is to repair the refrigerator.
However, if the cost of the repair is more than its worth, then we would recommend purchasing a new refrigerator. This is typically the case for older refrigerators, so if your fridge is over 10-15 years old, then it may be time to consider a new unit. This is not to say that an older refrigerator cannot be affordably repaired to last several more years, but we have generally seen that the replacement parts for older fridges are usually harder to find and lower in supply, which drives up the cost of spare/replacement parts.

These are common issues that we encounter frequently. If you are experiencing any of these issues, chances are we have a solution.
Door Seal and Gasket Replacement
Door seals and gaskets can wear over time and may be allowing cold air to escape from the refrigerator or freezer.
Refrigerator Water Line Replacement
The water line could be damaged or leaking due to old age or heat from the refrigerator compressor motor. This is an easily replaceable component.
Ice Maker and Dispenser Repair
We know how frustrating it is to not have ice in warm California weather, especially during the hot summer days. We can help get your ice maker or dispenser back up and running!
Refrigerator Condenser Coils/Fan Cleaning & Replacement
Coils can accumulate dirt and can cause the overload protector on the compressor to shut the refrigerator down. The fan can also accumulate dirt, pet hair, debris, which can obstruct the circulation of cold air into the refrigerator.
Refrigerator Compressor Replacement
One of the common problems of a malfunctioning refrigerator or freezer lies with the compressor. In most instances, this can be replaced at a much less cost than replacing the entire refrigerator.
Refrigerator Circuit Board Replacement
Another frequently seen culprit is the electronics circuit boards that are part of the assembly, often times the refrigerator main control board. With newer generation refrigerators offering more features and technology, there are more potential points of failure. We source replacement boards from the OEM and install them so that you don't have to deal with the complexity of the electronics!
Frequently Asked Questions
Refrigerators on average last anywhere from 10 to 20 years. There are always outliers and it is difficult to predict when a refrigerator will break. However, more often than not, a simple fix can extend the life of your refrigerator.
Repairing refrigerator should be evaluated first since it is typically more cost-efficient for the customer, and also better for the environment.
However, if the refrigerator is old, we may recommend replacing it, as the repair is typically more expensive. Additionally, its energy consumption is likely higher, ultimately costing more in your electricity bill in the long run.
The general rule of thumb we like to follow is that anything 15 years or older is probably due for a replacement, whereas a unit less than 8 years would probably be more economical to repair.
For those that fall in between, it's recommended to have a repair expert perform a diagnosis and troubleshoot the problem to determine what the most cost-effective solution is. While these are general guidelines, each situation is unique and we encourage calling a professional for input.
While each case varies, the average refrigerator repair costs typically fall within the range of $150 to $550, depending on the component that needs to be replaced.
A refrigerator (or freezer) that is not producing ice can have multiple reasons, but most commonly there is a blockage of the ice maker or a clog in the water supply line. This can happen when the water in the ice maker or supply line freezes.
To determine if you have a leak in the water line, pull the fridge out and feel along the line for any water.
There are many videos and DIY guides online that walk through the process of replacing a refrigerator water line. Regardless of whether the refrigerator is connected to a wall water supply or a sink water supply, the first step is to close the valve of the water supply. Secondly, loosen and remove the compression nuts with a wrench. Replace the old line with the new line and secure the compression nuts. Test to ensure there are no leaks.
