Refrigerator Repair San Diego

Before calling for service, start by checking the basics. First, ensure that the power supply is working and that the temperature settings are correct. Make sure the door closes properly and that nothing is obstructing it from the inside of the unit. A malfunctioning refrigerator doesn’t always have an obvious solution. Several different issues can lead to temperature problems, including faulty defrost systems, issues with evaporator and condenser fans, problems with the temperature controls, or issues with the sealed system.

Possible causes:

• Check The Power Supply - Ensure the refrigerator is properly plugged in and the circuit breaker has not tripped.
• Check Thermostat Settings - Verify if the thermostat settings are at the correct temperature.
• Clean Condenser Coils - We recommend cleaning dirty condenser coils once a year to improve cooling efficiency.
• Check Door Seals - Check door gaskets for tears, splits, and other damage. Worn door seals allow warm air to enter the refrigerator, reducing its cooling ability.
• Faulty Defrost System - Look for frost build-up inside the freezer, usually on the back wall where the evaporator is located. Frost build-up blocks the airflow, causing an increase in the temperature.

If food in your refrigerator is freezing, you can take some simple steps to resolve the issue. A refrigerator is designed to keep food cool for safe storage. If you notice that your refrigerator is freezing items, it could be due to one of the following problems:

Possible causes:

• Faulty Temperature Control - A faulty temperature control can cause the refrigerator to overwork, as it won't accurately detect the correct temperature.
• Defective Damper Control - The damper control that regulates cold air flow might be stuck open, allowing excess cold air to enter the refrigerator section.
• Faulty Temperature Sensor - A defective temperature sensor can cause inaccurate temperature readings, causing the refrigerator to overwork.

If your refrigerator is leaking water, you will typically notice a small or large puddle on the floor. The first step is to locate the source of the leak and then resolve the issue. Check the drain, water inlet valve, hoses, and water supply for any problems.

Possible causes:

• Clogged Drain - If the water drain is clogged, water will pool inside the refrigerator and eventually leak onto the floor.
• Leaky Water Inlet Valve - Over time, the water inlet valve could start leaking water due to corrosion or other damage.
• Damaged Water Line Hose - The water supply hose for the water dispenser and ice maker can be a potential source of water leaks. It is important to regularly inspect the hose for any visible signs of damage. If you notice any issues, replace the hose promptly to prevent further property damage.
• Cracked Water Tank - The water tank is located inside the refrigerator compartment and keeps the drinking water cold. However, it could crack due to temperature variations over time or for some other reason.
• Defective Water Filter - It is important to follow the manufacturer's recommendations when replacing the water filter. Using less expensive, aftermarket filters can damage the filter housing, causing substantial leaks and property damage.

A refrigerator is the only home appliance that operates continuously. It typically runs quietly, but if you hear unusual noises, it indicates a problem. The most common reasons for these noises are a malfunctioning fan motor or, in some cases, a failing compressor.

Possible causes:

• Fan Motor - Make sure that nothing is blocking the evaporator or condenser fan motor blades. Sometimes, ice starts building near the evaporator fan, causing a laud noise.
• Compressor - A failing compressor can make a loud noise, usually when it starts or stops running.
• Defrost Timer - The defrost timer can produce a clicking or ticking sound.
• Other Loose Components - Check for any other loose or vibrating components inside the refrigerator.
