Refrigerator repair Santa Ana

Refrigerator repair in Santa Ana covers freestanding, side-by-side, built-in and garage units. A refrigerator that has stopped cooling is the one repair that cannot wait until next week, so C&C Appliance Repair keeps same-day slots open daily and carries the parts that fail most often on the van.

Most calls come down to four complaints: the fresh food section is warm while the freezer still works, the unit runs without ever stopping, there is water on the floor, or ice has built up at the back of the compartment. Behind them sit evaporator fans, defrost heaters and thermostats, blocked drains and, less often, a sealed system fault.

Those four look alike from outside and are told apart by measurement, not by guesswork. That matters because the cheap fix and the expensive one present identically: a failed defrost heater and a dying compressor both leave you with a warm refrigerator. The technician measures first and gives you the price before touching anything.

Brands we service every week: Whirlpool, Maytag, GE, LG, Samsung, Amana, KitchenAid, Bosch, Frigidaire, Sub-Zero, Thermador, Viking, Wolf and Dacor. Where a unit is not worth repairing we say so plainly instead of selling you a part. Call (800) 860-0974 or request service online.

    Questions we get asked

    The freezer works but the refrigerator section is warm. What causes that?

    Usually the evaporator fan or the defrost system. Cold air is produced in the freezer and blown into the fresh food compartment, so when the fan fails or the evaporator ices over, one side stays cold and the other does not. Both are ordinary repairs.

    How do I know whether it is worth repairing?

    By what failed, not by the age of the unit. A fan, a thermostat, a defrost heater or a blocked drain is worth fixing on almost any refrigerator. A compressor or a sealed system leak on an old freestanding unit usually is not, and we tell you that rather than selling the part.

    There is water pooling under the refrigerator. Where does it come from?

    Most often a defrost drain blocked with ice or debris, which backs up and overflows, or a failed water line feeding the ice maker. Both are straightforward, but the water damages flooring while you wait.

    My refrigerator runs constantly. Is that expensive to fix?

    Not usually. Dirty condenser coils and a failed condenser fan are the two most common causes, and both are inexpensive. A sealed system problem is the costly case, and it is confirmed by measurement before anything is quoted.

    How soon can you come out in Santa Ana?

    Same day in most cases when you call early enough in the day. Call (800) 860-0974 and the office gives you a time window.

    The C&C Appliance Repair technicians really know what they’re doing. My Kenmore oven broke the morning I was getting ready to throw a dinner party for my new boyfriend’s parents! I called another repair company. They came and gave me a quote, but I just didn’t get a good feeling from them...and their price seemed outrageously high. So I decided to get a “second opinion” — even though I was starting to panic! — and called C&C. That was a smart move. They were much less expensive and didn’t recommend any unneeded repairs like the other company did. If I hadn’t called C&C, I would have spent hundreds of dollars more! The same day I called, a very friendly, very sharp C&C technician came to my house. He carefully diagnosed the problem then clearly explained, and put in writing, what was needed, how much it would cost, and how long it would take. Once he got my approval, he did the work — right on schedule and right on budget. He cleaned up and my kitchen was back to normal in plenty of time to fix dinner. Thank you C&C. I don’t know if the boyfriend is going to last... but you have my eternal devotion!
