Refrigerator repair in Sherman Oaks
A refrigerator that stops cooling is urgent, because the food inside lasts only hours. Keep the doors closed, check that the unit has power, and call. Tell us the brand, whether the freezer is still cold, and what you hear from the back of the unit. That is usually enough for us to know which parts to bring.

Refrigerator not cooling
when both the refrigerator and the freezer are warm, the cause is usually dirty condenser coils, a failed condenser fan, or a compressor that is not starting.

Sherman Oaks summers are hard on refrigeration. The hotter the kitchen or garage, the longer the compressor runs and the faster dust builds up on the condenser coils. Most of our summer no-cooling calls involve dirty coils, a failed condenser fan or a start relay that gave up on a hot afternoon. Cleaning the coils once or twice a year is the best prevention.
