What some of our customers say

“Our two year old Hotpoint refrigerator started making occasional squealing noises, coming from the freezer, a couple months ago, then the noise became more frequent. Also, the main door wasn’t hanging straight. We called Bay Appliance Repair and they sent someone over to look at it a couple days later, as that was when we would be home. John examined it and ordered some new parts to fix both of the problems. A week later he came back to install the new parts. No more weird noises!”

“It was so easy to schedule the repair service ! Timely and clear communications. Leon did an excellent job repairing our dryer. We are very pleased.”

“Everything went well. They came when they said they would. They told me what they would do and I havent had any issues since then.”

What are the most common refrigerator problems you fix?

We get a lot of calls about warm fridges, frosted-up freezers, compressors that click on and off, and water under the unit. Most of the time the compressor is fine. Many French-door and side-by-side units in remodeled San Francisco and Peninsula kitchens stall on evaporator fans, dirty condensers, defrost drains, door gaskets, or ice-maker plumbing. Garage and basement units add leveling and heat-load issues after moves or hot spells.

• Fridge or freezer section warm while the other still feels cold: start with refrigerator not cooling
• Puddles under the toe-kick, behind the cabinet, or inside a crisper: see refrigerator leaking water
• Heavy frost on rear panels or evaporator covers that returns after a defrost
• Clicking start attempts, short cycling, or unusual compressor noise
• Ice maker or dispenser faults after a filter change. Samsung owners can also check Samsung ice maker not working; GE cooling notes are on GE refrigerator not cooling

Brand-specific kitchen notes live on our Samsung, LG, Whirlpool, GE, Café, Bosch, KitchenAid, Sub-Zero, Monogram, and Fisher & Paykel pages when you already know the nameplate.

What happens on a refrigerator repair visit?

We confirm temperatures in both compartments, listen for fan and compressor behavior, inspect condenser airflow, check defrost and drain paths when frost or leaks are in play, and review ice-maker or filter plumbing when water is involved. Findings and options are explained before parts are ordered. Many refrigerators recover with fans, thermistors, defrost components, drain clears, filter housings, or valves when the cabinet and sealed system are sound. Bay Appliance Repair is EPA 608 certified (Type I and II), and appointments run Monday–Friday, 8am–5pm.

Safe homeowner checks before we arrive: note which compartment is warm, whether water is under the unit or inside, and whether a filter was changed recently. Do not puncture lines, open sealed refrigerant circuits, or tip a loaded fridge alone. If you smell burning insulation near the compressor or water valve, shut off power and water if safe and call.

Built-in refrigerator, wine cooler and ice machine repair in San Francisco

Many San Francisco kitchens have a built-in or panel-ready refrigerator, an ice maker or under-counter ice machine, and a wine cooler or beverage center. Some homes also have a walk-in wine cooler. These units sit tight to the cabinets or walls, so they depend on clean coils and clear airflow. When airflow drops, they run warm, run constantly or ice up. We repair all of them in residential homes.

• Built-in and column refrigerators: warm fresh-food sections, frozen-over evaporators, failing fans, door hinges that sag under custom panels. Brands we see include Sub-Zero, Thermador, Monogram, Fisher & Paykel, Viking and KitchenAid (factory trained), plus Dacor, GE, Samsung and LG (factory authorized).
• Ice makers and residential ice machines: refrigerator ice makers that stop making ice, jam or leak, and under-counter ice machines in kitchens and home bars that make slow, cloudy or no ice. We check the water supply, valve, filter, fill tube, sensors and drain. Samsung owners can start with Samsung ice maker not working.
• Wine refrigerators and beverage centers: temperatures that drift, compressors that click on and off, fans that rattle and condensation inside the glass door. We’re factory authorized for Avanti and Danby, which make many compact and under-counter units.
• Residential walk-in wine coolers: home wine rooms that won’t hold temperature or humidity, cooling units that short-cycle, ice over or drip, and controls or fans that fail.
• Sealed-system repairs: refrigerant leaks and compressor problems are handled by EPA 608 certified (Type I & II) technicians.

Before you book, check that the grille or vents aren’t blocked and note the temperature it’s holding. A photo of the model label, texted to (415) 261-2561, helps the technician bring the right parts. On a high-end built-in, repair is usually worth it; see our repair or replace guide.

Repair or replace?

Many San Francisco Bay Area refrigerators remain economical to repair when the liner and case are intact. Replacement makes more sense when sealed-system leaks recur, rust compromises the cabinet, or repeated control failures stack up on an aging platform. We go over the cost with you on site, and you decide. We work under California BEAR #46247, Mon–Fri 8am–5pm, and reply to after-hours messages the next weekday.
