Warm milk is the first clue. Then the ice cream goes soft, and the freezer frosts over in sheets. A fridge that runs constantly but stays warm usually points to a condenser fan, a clogged coil, or a defrost system that quit cycling. Sonoma County summers push these units hard, and a Santa Rosa kitchen with coils packed in dust makes it worse. Move the food to a cooler, then call us. We diagnose all major brands as an independent company. Reach us or use the quote form and describe what the fridge is doing.

We cover Santa Rosa's 95401, 95403, 95404 and 95405 neighborhoods, plus Rohnert Park, Cotati and the run down toward Vallejo and Fairfield.
Aim for about 37 degrees in the fresh food side and 0 degrees in the freezer. Put a thermometer in a glass of water overnight for a true reading. If numbers drift far off, something in the cooling or defrost system needs attention.
Loud usually means mechanical, not unsafe. Buzzing often traces to a condenser or evaporator fan blade. Rhythmic clicking can be a relay trying to start the compressor. Note when the sound happens and tell us; it narrows the search fast.
Move perishables to a cooler with ice if the compartment has been above 40 degrees for hours. Keep the freezer closed; a full freezer holds temperature far longer than an empty one. That buys time until we arrive.
It does. Much of California runs mineral-heavy water, and scale builds inside fill valves, ice maker molds, and dispenser lines. That shows up as thin ice, slow fill, or cloudy cubes. Regular filter changes slow it down.
Most Santa Rosa calls get a same-week window, and we often have openings sooner if a cancellation frees up a slot. Call us with your ZIP and the appliance brand. Morning and afternoon windows are both available, and we text before we head your way so you are not sitting home guessing.
Call us or fill out the form. Describe what you hear, smell or see. Odd noise, standing water, no heat. Have the model number handy if you can reach it.
Pick a window that fits your day. We confirm the address and ask a few questions first, so the van carries parts that commonly fail on your machine.
Our technician tests the machine, explains what failed, and lays out the repair options. Many jobs finish the same visit. Special-order parts get scheduled before we leave.
Ask these of anyone you let into your home — us included. Call and we'll answer all five before you book anything.
Describe the fault, approve the written quote, get it fixed. Starting takes about a minute.
