Berkeley kitchens are often old. Brown-shingle houses in North Berkeley and the Elmwood, and Craftsman bungalows south of campus, were built long before 36-inch refrigerators, so a lot of fridges are wedged into alcoves or old pantry spaces with little room to breathe.
We also see plenty of student and rental units near campus, where an apartment-size fridge has run hard for years with nobody cleaning the coils, and remodeled hills kitchens with built-ins.
We come out to North Berkeley, the Elmwood, Claremont, Berkeley Hills, Thousand Oaks, Westbrae, South Berkeley, West Berkeley and the rest of Berkeley.
Common fridge problems we fix in Berkeley
Fridge side warm, freezer cold
An evaporator fan or a defrost problem blocking the airflow to the fresh food side.
Fridge running all the time
Dusty coils and no air gap in a tight alcove. We check the condenser fan and the thermostat next.
Ice maker stopped
A frozen fill tube, a bad water valve or low pressure in older plumbing.
Clicking and no cooling
A failing start relay or compressor. The relay is the cheaper fix if the compressor is fine.
Before you call
Clean the condenser coils and pull the fridge out an inch or two from the wall so it can breathe. In a tight alcove, even a small gap at the top helps.
