Get your refrigerator back to reliable performance with factory-certified technicians who take the time to diagnose the problem properly. We provide professional repairs using genuine OEM parts, with free diagnostics and a 1-year warranty for added peace of mind.
A refrigerator can break down in dozens of ways, but most service calls in San Francisco fall into a handful of common categories. Here is each problem we see regularly, what causes it, and how we fix it, so you know what to expect before you call.
Often caused by dirty condenser coils, a faulty thermostat, a failed evaporator fan, low refrigerant, or a bad start relay. We clean the coils, replace the failed part, or perform sealed-system repair.
Usually a cracked drip pan, a clogged defrost drain, a worn door gasket, a faulty water inlet valve, or a loose supply line. We clear the drain, replace the pan, gasket, or valve, and reseat the line.
A failing condenser fan, a worn evaporator fan, a loose drain pan, compressor wear, or an unlevel unit are the usual culprits. We replace the motor, secure the pan, level the unit, or service the compressor.
Typically a defrost timer, heater, or thermostat failure icing the coils, a dead thermostat, blocked vents, or a stalled fan. We replace the defrost part, clear the iced coils, and fully restore airflow.
Ice maker faults, temperature swings, constant running, and sealed-system leaks are common. Causes range from frozen lines and clogged filters to worn seals and low refrigerant. We thaw, replace, reseal, and recharge.

San Francisco kitchens run the full spectrum, from entry-level units to ultra-premium built-in models. Our technicians hold factory certifications across all major manufacturers and carry genuine OEM parts for the brands we service most often.
Different refrigerator configurations break down in different ways. Understanding your fridge type helps us arrive with the right parts and the right diagnostic approach for a faster, more accurate repair.
The most popular layout in SF homes pairs double fridge doors up top with a pull-out freezer below. Ice maker faults, uneven side-to-side cooling, and gasket wear across the wide doors are frequent. We repair French door models from Samsung, LG, Whirlpool, KitchenAid, and GE.
Fridge and freezer sit side by side, ideal for tight door clearance. Common faults include freezer icing, filter clogs hitting the dispenser, and temperature imbalance. Whirlpool, GE, Frigidaire, Samsung, and Maytag lead here.
The classic freezer-on-top build stays the most reliable and affordable design on the market. Clogged defrost drains are our most frequent call on this type, followed by thermostat faults and coil dust. GE, Frigidaire, Whirlpool, Amana, and Hotpoint dominate this category.
Bottom-freezer models put the fridge at eye level with a pull-out freezer drawer below. Drawer track and rail damage, a freezer that misses target temperature, and frozen ice maker lines are typical. LG, Samsung, Whirlpool, KitchenAid, and Bosch appear most often.
Panel-ready built-ins sit flush with cabinetry and run harder than freestanding units. Expect compressor overwork from tight ventilation, sealed-system faults, and control board issues. We fix Sub-Zero, Thermador, Miele, Viking, Gaggenau, Dacor, and Fisher & Paykel, almost always worth repairing.
Counter-depth units sit shallower to align with your countertop edge for a built-in look. Shallow depth cuts airflow, makes the compressor work harder, and raises overload risk. Bosch, Samsung, LG, KitchenAid, GE Profile, and Café are common.
Compact and mini fridges serve offices, studios, guest rooms, and wet bars. Thermostat drift, compressor relay faults, and evaporator icing are the usual issues. Repairs under $100 are worth it, but above that a new unit at $150 to $400 often wins.
lk-in coolers, reach-ins, display cases, and prep tables keep SF restaurants and markets running. Watch for compressor burnout, thermostat drift risking health codes, refrigerant leaks, and gasket wear. We handle commercial refrigerants, EPA rules, and fast turnaround.
We do not use aftermarket knockoffs. Every replacement part we install is sourced directly from the manufacturer or an authorized distributor. Genuine OEM components fit precisely, last longer, and preserve your warranty coverage. And every part we install is backed by our full 1-year warranty on parts and labor.
Pumps refrigerant through the sealed loop to create cooling. Signs of failure include a warm fridge, loud clicking, or a tripped breaker.
Release heat while the fan pulls air across the coils. Signs of trouble include a warm fridge or a buzzing noise from the back.
Absorb heat and circulate cold air inside. Signs include a warm fridge with a working freezer or a hum from the freezer.
Controls when the compressor cycles to hold your set temperature. Signs include constant running or no cooling at all.
Melts frost off the evaporator coils to keep airflow clear. Signs include heavy ice buildup or poor cooling from frozen coils.
Seals each door to keep cold in and warm out. Signs include outside condensation, constant running, or visible tears.
Controls water flow to the ice maker and dispenser. Signs include no ice, a weak dispenser, or leaking near the floor.
Freezes water into cubes and drops them into the bin. Signs include no ice, misshapen cubes, or grinding noises.
The electronic brain that manages cycling, defrost, and the display. Signs include error codes or a totally unresponsive unit.
Kick-start the compressor and guard against overload. Signs include repeated clicking, a warm fridge, or a burning smell.
Regulates cold airflow from the freezer into the fridge. Signs include a warm fridge side or food freezing on the fridge shelves.
Carries meltwater from defrost down to the drip pan. Signs include water pooling inside or leaking onto the floor.
Catches condensate under the fridge and lets it evaporate off compressor heat. Signs include floor water, odors, or cracks.
Filters sediment from the water feeding the ice maker and dispenser. Signs include slow flow, cloudy ice, or housing leaks.
Triggers the interior light and signals the door position. Signs include a light that stays on or off, or constant running.
Support the freezer drawer on bottom-freezer and French door models. Signs include a drawer that drags, tilts, or will not close.
