Oakland has every kind of fridge we see. Built-in Sub-Zero and Monogram columns in the Montclair and Piedmont Avenue remodels, French door units in Temescal and Rockridge Craftsman kitchens, and apartment-size top-freezers in the Lake Merritt and Adams Point buildings. Older Oakland kitchens were not built for a 36-inch fridge, so a lot of them are pushed into cutouts with no air gap at the top or back.

Oakland flats and the Fruitvale and East Oakland neighborhoods run a few degrees warmer than the hills in summer and fall. A fridge with dusty coils that coped in May often quits cooling in a September warm spell.

We come out to Rockridge, Temescal, Montclair, Grand Lake, Adams Point, Dimond, Fruitvale and the rest of Oakland.

Common fridge problems we fix in Oakland

Fresh food side warm, freezer still cold

Usually the evaporator fan or a defrost problem. Frost builds on the coil behind the freezer panel and the cold air stops reaching the fridge side.

Built-in fridge running hot

Sub-Zero and other built-ins pull air through the top grille. Dirty condenser coils up there are the first thing we check, then the condenser fan and the sealed system.

Ice maker quit

A frozen fill tube, a bad water inlet valve or low water pressure. Older Oakland homes with galvanized pipes can have weak pressure at the fridge line.

Clicking, then nothing

The compressor tries to start and the start relay cuts it out. A relay is one of the cheaper fridge repairs if the compressor itself is fine.

Before you call

Check the coils. On most fridges they are behind the kick plate at the bottom; on a built-in they are behind the top grille. If they are covered in dust, vacuum them and give the fridge a few hours. Also make sure the fridge has a couple of inches of air at the top and back.

Refrigerator repair questions

How much does fridge repair cost in Oakland?

Most fridge repairs start from $250 to $350 for common parts like a gasket, relay, fan or control board. Sub-Zero and other built-ins start higher. The final price depends on the brand and model, and the $219 service call is free if you go ahead with the repair.

Do you repair Sub-Zero in Oakland?

Yes. We are factory trained on Sub-Zero and see a lot of them in the hills. Built-in repairs start from $555 for Sub-Zero.

My fridge stopped cooling. What do I do with the food?

Keep the doors shut. A closed fridge holds safe temperatures for about four hours and a full freezer for longer. Move the most perishable things to a cooler with ice and call us.

How long does a fridge repair take?

Most take one visit. If the part is not on the truck, we order it and the second visit to install it is no extra charge.
