Refrigerator and ice maker repair in Berkeley
Our premium and commercial Berkeley records are mostly refrigeration: Sub-Zero, Miele and Fisher & Paykel, plus two Thermador jobs. The story below is a Perlick ice maker in a backyard in nearby Orinda.
Nearby in Orinda: an outdoor ice maker that would not start
A Perlick H50IMS-L ice maker built in under an outdoor counter in Orinda had quit making ice, and then it would not start at all. Power was reaching it, and the main fuse checked out. The main control was not putting out the signals the machine needs to run.
The owner approved a new control board and switch, and we came back on November 4 to replace both. That cabinet sits in direct sun, and heat is hard on the refrigeration parts and the electronics alike. More shade and airflow around it would help.
Seven Berkeley jobs
We closed seven Berkeley jobs on premium or commercial equipment in the two years we looked at. All closed from August to October 2026, five of them in September. Fisher & Paykel, Sub-Zero and Thermador came up twice each, and both Fisher & Paykel jobs were at one address. Miele came up once.
One of the seven took more than one visit.
The ice maker story above is from Orinda, so it is not one of these seven. One Fisher & Paykel job names the brand only in its description, and we counted it from there.
What to send before a Berkeley visit
For an outdoor kitchen or bar, tell us whether the unit sits in direct sun. For an indoor refrigerator, note which compartment is warm and whether there is frost or water where it should not be.
The visit is $99 for diagnosis, with any extra appliance checked on the same trip included. If the repair goes ahead, the $99 counts toward it.
