Continental Repair · Bay Area

Common issues

Continental is a workhorse brand we don’t mind seeing on a service ticket. The build is solid, and a unit that goes down is almost always worth fixing instead of tossing. Kept up, a Continental runs a long time. When we do get the call, it is usually wear over the years rather than a design flaw.

Thermostat problems are the first thing that tends to go. The box runs warm or drifts off its setpoint once the thermostat fails. We diagnose the fault on site, then provide a written repair estimate before any work starts.

Refrigerant leaks show up after 15 to 20 years. Vibration and corrosion eventually open the sealed system. That is the heavier repair, and the one most general appliance techs aren’t equipped or certified to do. We are EPA-certified (EPA #1279674151528) and set up for it. We provide a written repair estimate after the on-site diagnosis. Completed sealed-system repairs carry a 2-year parts and labor warranty.

Door gaskets wear out when maintenance slips. A failing gasket pulls warm air in, runs the compressor flat out, and pushes the energy bill up. Replacing a worn one is among the least expensive jobs on the unit, and it spares the compressor a lot of needless run time. Leave it long enough and it takes years off the unit.

Commercial repair pricing is set after the on-site diagnosis, since access and staffing needs vary by location. The $99 diagnostic is credited toward the repair. We provide a written estimate before any work starts.
