Common Refrigerator Problems
We Repair
Refrigerator Not Cooling
If your refrigerator isn't keeping food cold, feels warm inside, or you notice food spoiling quickly even though the unit is running, it's a common issue we fix daily for Orange County homeowners, often caused by a faulty compressor, dirty condenser coils, a broken evaporator fan, or a malfunctioning thermostat.
Typical repair cost: $200–$450, depending on the model and parts required.
How we help: Our technicians test the compressor and check for proper refrigerant levels to ensure cooling capacity. We clean the condenser coils and inspect the evaporator fan for blockages or motor failure. The thermostat and temperature control board are tested for accurate readings and proper operation. Any faulty components are replaced with OEM or certified parts.
Finally, we monitor the refrigerator through multiple cooling cycles to confirm it reaches and maintains the correct temperature consistently.

Refrigerator Leaking Water
If you notice water pooling under your refrigerator, dripping inside onto shelves, or leaking from the door, it's a common issue we repair throughout Irvine, Anaheim, and surrounding Orange County cities, often caused by a clogged defrost drain, cracked water supply line, faulty water inlet valve, or damaged door seals.
Typical repair cost: $150–$300, depending on the model and parts required.
How we help: Our technicians locate the source of the leak by inspecting the defrost drain, drain pan, and water lines. We clear any clogs in the defrost drain tube and check the drain pan for cracks or improper positioning. The water inlet valve is tested for leaks or malfunctions, and door gaskets are inspected and replaced if torn or not sealing properly. Any damaged components are replaced with OEM or certified parts.
Finally, we run the refrigerator through a full cycle and monitor for any signs of moisture or leaking.

Refrigerator Making Loud Noises
If your refrigerator makes loud humming, buzzing, clicking, rattling, or squealing sounds that disrupt your home, it's a common issue we fix for customers in Huntington Beach, Costa Mesa, and across Orange County, often caused by a failing compressor, worn evaporator or condenser fan motor, faulty water inlet valve, or loose internal components.
Typical repair cost: $180–$400, depending on the model and parts required.
How we help: Our technicians identify the noise source by listening during operation and inspecting all moving parts. We test the evaporator and condenser fan motors for bearing wear or blade obstructions.

Any worn or faulty components are replaced with OEM or certified parts.
Finally, we run the refrigerator through multiple cycles to confirm quiet operation at normal sound levels.

Freezer Has Frost Buildup
If your freezer has excessive frost or ice buildup on walls, food items are freezing together, or you need to defrost frequently, it's a common issue often caused by a faulty defrost heater, broken defrost timer, malfunctioning defrost thermostat, or damaged door gasket.
Typical repair cost: $150–$350, depending on the model and parts required.
How we help: Our technicians test the defrost heater, timer, and thermostat to ensure the automatic defrost cycle runs properly. We inspect the door gasket for tears, gaps, or poor sealing that allows warm air inside. The evaporator fan and airflow paths are checked for blockages causing uneven temperature distribution. Any faulty defrost components or damaged gaskets are replaced with OEM or certified parts.
Finally, we monitor the freezer through several defrost cycles to confirm frost-free operation.
This method ensures your freezer maintains proper temperature without excessive ice accumulation.
Refrigerator Not Dispensing Water or Ice
If your refrigerator's water dispenser doesn't work, ice maker isn't producing ice, or you get weak water flow, it's a common issue we repair in Santa Ana, Fullerton, and throughout Orange County, often caused by a clogged water filter, frozen water line, faulty water inlet valve, or broken dispenser switch.
Typical repair cost: $120–$280, depending on the model and parts required.
How we help: Our technicians check the water filter for clogs and replace it if overdue for replacement. We inspect the water supply line for kinks, freezing, or blockages restricting flow. The water inlet valve is tested for proper operation and adequate water pressure, and dispenser switches and control boards are examined for electrical faults. Any clogged, frozen, or faulty components are cleared or replaced with OEM or certified parts.
Finally, we test both the water dispenser and ice maker through multiple cycles to confirm proper flow and ice production.

Refrigerator Cycling On and Off Constantly
If your refrigerator turns on and off too frequently, runs constantly without stopping, or you hear the compressor clicking repeatedly, it's a common issue we fix for Orange County homeowners and businesses, often caused by dirty condenser coils, a faulty start relay, thermostat problems, or an overworked compressor.
Typical repair cost: $150–$380, depending on the model and parts required.
How we help: Our technicians clean the condenser coils to improve heat dissipation and reduce compressor strain. We test the start relay and overload protector for proper compressor operation. The thermostat and temperature sensors are checked for accurate readings and cycling control, and refrigerant levels are inspected if the compressor is running continuously without cooling. Any worn or faulty components are replaced with OEM or certified parts.

Types of Refrigerators We Repair
Top-Freezer Refrigerators
Top-freezer refrigerators have the freezer compartment on top and the fresh food section below in a traditional two-door design. They are energy-efficient, budget-friendly, and one of the most reliable refrigerator styles on the market.
Common problems include temperature control failures, frost buildup in the freezer, and worn door gaskets that prevent proper sealing.
These refrigerators are straightforward to repair, but older models may require careful diagnosis of mechanical thermostats and defrost timers that differ from modern electronic controls. We service top-freezer models daily throughout Irvine, Anaheim, and all Orange County cities.
Bottom-Freezer Refrigerators
Bottom-freezer refrigerators place the freezer compartment in a pull-out drawer or swing door at the bottom, with the fresh food section at eye level for easier access. They offer better organization and are popular in modern kitchens across Orange County.
Common problems include freezer drawer track failures, uneven cooling between compartments, ice maker malfunctions, and compressor issues that affect the lower freezer zone.
These models require expertise in diagnosing dual-evaporator systems and drawer mechanism repairs, which our technicians handle regularly in Costa Mesa, Huntington Beach, and surrounding areas.
Side-by-Side Refrigerators
Side-by-side refrigerators feature two full-height vertical doors with the freezer on one side and the refrigerator on the other, often with built-in water and ice dispensers. They maximize storage and freezer access but have narrower shelf space than other styles.
Common problems include water dispenser leaks, ice maker failures, cooling issues in one compartment, and faulty damper controls that regulate airflow between sections.
These models often have complex electronic controls and multiple sensors that require diagnostic expertise. We repair side-by-side refrigerators throughout Santa Ana, Fullerton, and all of Orange County.
French Door Refrigerators
French door refrigerators combine two side-by-side doors on top for the fresh food section with a bottom freezer drawer, offering wide shelf space and modern aesthetics. They are one of the most popular styles in Orange County homes.
Common problems include ice maker jams, water dispenser failures, temperature imbalances between the upper and lower sections, door alignment issues, and freezer drawer seal leaks.
These refrigerators typically use sophisticated electronic controls and dual cooling systems that require advanced diagnostic skills. Our technicians repair French door models daily in Newport Beach, Mission Viejo, and across Orange County.
Built-In Refrigerators
Built-in refrigerators are custom-installed units integrated seamlessly into cabinetry, often featuring premium construction, commercial-grade components, and high-end finishes. They are designed to be flush with surrounding cabinets and are common in luxury homes across Orange County.
Common problems include temperature inconsistencies, ice maker not producing ice, water dispenser issues, unusual noises during operation, and minor cooling inefficiencies that affect food freshness.
These high-end models demand specialized knowledge of brands like Sub-Zero, Thermador, and Viking, along with careful cabinet removal for access. Our technicians are experienced with built-in refrigerator repairs in Newport Beach, Laguna Beach, and throughout Orange County.
Wine Coolers and Beverage Refrigerators
Wine coolers and beverage refrigerators are specialty units designed to store wine, beer, or beverages at precise temperatures with humidity control and vibration reduction to protect bottle contents. They range from small countertop units to large dual-zone models.
Common problems include temperature fluctuations, compressor failures, thermoelectric cooling system issues, humidity control malfunctions, and LED lighting failures.
These units require expertise in both compressor-based and thermoelectric cooling technologies, along with knowledge of dual-zone temperature management. We service wine coolers and beverage centers in homes and businesses across Orange County.
Commercial Refrigerators
Commercial refrigerators include walk-in coolers, reach-in units, display cases, prep tables, and under-counter models used in restaurants, markets, hotels, and food service businesses throughout Orange County. They are built for heavy-duty use and must maintain strict temperature standards for food safety.
Common problems include compressor failures, evaporator coil icing, door gasket damage, temperature control issues, and condenser fan motor failures that cause system shutdowns. These units require immediate repair to prevent product loss and health code violations.
Our technicians provide fast commercial refrigerator repair with 24/7 availability for businesses in Anaheim, Irvine, Santa Ana, and across Orange County.
Smart Refrigerators
Smart refrigerators are Wi-Fi-enabled models with touchscreen displays, internal cameras, app connectivity, voice control, and advanced features like inventory tracking and recipe suggestions. They combine traditional refrigeration with modern technology.
Common problems include all standard refrigerator issues plus Wi-Fi connectivity failures, touchscreen malfunctions, camera system errors, software glitches, and app integration problems.
These models require technicians skilled in both appliance repair and smart home technology troubleshooting. We repair smart refrigerators from Samsung, LG, GE, and other brands throughout Orange County.
No matter what type of refrigerator you own, our Orange County technicians have the brand expertise, OEM parts, and diagnostic tools to repair it correctly the first time.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is it worth it to repair my appliance?
That's the most common question in our industry.
As a general rule, if your appliance is newer (under 8 years old) and the repair costs less than half of what a new one would cost, it's usually worth fixing. We'll give you an honest assessment and clear repair quote so you can make the best decision.
2. Do you sell appliance parts?
No, we do not sell parts separately.
Parts are only provided when we perform the repair to ensure proper installation and warranty coverage.
3. How long does an appliance repair usually take?
The time required for a repair depends on the issue and the type of appliance.
Most repairs can be completed within 1-2 hours.
For more complex issues or if parts need to be ordered, it may take longer. We’ll always keep you updated on the progress.
4. Do you offer a warranty on your repairs?
Yes, we offer a warranty on both parts and labor.
The exact terms vary depending on the repair, but typically, parts come with a manufacturer’s warranty, and we provide a service guarantee for the work we perform.
5. What should I do if my appliance is still under warranty?
If your appliance is still under warranty, it’s important to contact the manufacturer or the retailer where you purchased it.
We can still assist with the repair, but you may want to verify whether the warranty will cover our services or if it must be handled by the manufacturer’s authorized service provider.
6. Do you install parts that customers provide?
No, we only install parts that we supply.
This ensures quality control and allows us to warranty both the parts and labor. We cannot provide warranty coverage on customer-supplied parts.
7. What types of appliances do you repair?
We repair a wide range of home appliances, including refrigerators, dishwashers, washing machines, dryers, ovens, stoves, and microwaves. If you’re unsure whether we can fix your specific appliance, feel free to contact us for more information.
