San Rafael has two very different fridge populations. Terra Linda and Lucas Valley Eichlers have counter-depth and built-in units fitted into remodeled kitchens. The older houses near downtown, Gerstle Park and the Dominican area often still have a freestanding fridge in a narrow original alcove.
The canal neighborhood has many apartments with basic top-freezer units under heavy use, where door gaskets and defrost parts are the usual failures.
San Rafael coverage: Gerstle Park, downtown, Dominican, Sun Valley, Peacock Gap, Glenwood, Terra Linda, Lucas Valley, Marinwood, Smith Ranch and the canal area.
Narrow alcoves in older San Rafael kitchens
A modern fridge squeezed into an alcove built for a smaller 1940s model has nowhere to push its heat. It runs hot, the compressor works hard, and food spoils faster.
We measure clearances and tell you what airflow the unit needs. Sometimes a small change, like removing a cabinet above it, fixes the problem without a part.
San Rafael refrigerator calls

Not enough clearance, plus dust on the coil.
Top-freezer frosting heavily
A torn gasket or a failed defrost heater.

A start relay or overload protector.
Built-in door sagging
Hinge wear or a heavy door bin load.
A few checks
Make sure the fridge has a little space at the top and sides. Slide a piece of paper into the door seal and close it; if it pulls out with no drag, the gasket is not sealing.
