Why does our Frigidaire struggle every July in Clayton?

A warm kitchen raises the load on the condenser. A dirty coil, a weak fan or a small leak that was hidden in spring all show up when it is hot. We check airflow first, then pressures.

Does Contra Costa Water District water cause ice maker problems?

Clayton gets treated Delta water from Contra Costa Water District. When a Gallery ice maker slows down, we test the inlet valve flow and look at the screen, then decide what needs replacing.

We have a Frigidaire column pair in Peacock Creek. Do both need checking?

Only the one with the problem, unless you want both looked at. Each column has its own sealed system and controls, so one can fail while the other is healthy.

Frigidaire in Clayton

Frigidaire in Clayton kitchens.

Clayton sits at the foot of Mount Diablo, and its summers are hot and dry. A refrigerator in a warm kitchen works harder all season, and a Frigidaire Professional Series column with a small refrigerant leak tends to show it first in July: longer run times, then a slow climb in temperature. On a Gallery French-door, a dusty condenser or a failing condenser fan tends to announce itself the same way.

The large Peacock Creek homes from 1996 onward and the 1990s homes on the former Keller Ranch land have space for a column pair. We repair Professional columns and Gallery French-doors; the standard top-freezers and side-by-sides we leave alone. Clayton is served by our technician based in Benicia. The $99 diagnostic, credited toward the repair, comes before a written quote.

Common repairs we handle.

Column warming up in summer heat. Heat exposes a low charge. We read temperatures along the lines and the frost pattern on the evaporator, and if refrigerant is short, we find the leak before anything else. Our technician is EPA 608 Type I certified for the recovery, brazing and recharge that follow.
Condenser fan motor dragging on a Gallery. A slow or noisy condenser fan leaves heat trapped in the compartment underneath. The compressor runs hot and the fridge falls behind on the warmest days. We test the motor and clean the coil in the same visit.
All-freezer column frosting over. Frost on the back wall and soft ice cream point to a defrost problem. We test the defrost heater, the defrost thermostat and the control, replace what failed and let the column pull back down.
