Ocean air, tight cabinetry and garage fridges

Redondo Beach housing ranges from older cottages and condos near the water to remodeled townhomes and larger homes farther up the hill. Many updated kitchens have built-in or column units set flush into cabinetry, which leaves little room for airflow. A lot of households also keep a second fridge in the garage. Salty coastal air speeds corrosion on condenser coils, fan motors and door hinges, and the damp marine layer adds humidity that works against door gaskets. Southern California's hard water also leaves mineral deposits in ice makers, water valves and filter housings over time.

What usually goes wrong, and how it shows up

A fridge that runs warm while the freezer stays cold usually points to an iced-over evaporator, a failed defrost component or a stuck air damper. Frost building on the back wall is a common sign of a defrost problem. Water on the floor often comes from a clogged defrost drain or a cracked ice maker supply line. Loud buzzing can mean a failing fan motor or water valve, and repeated clicking with no cooling may point to a start relay or compressor issue. A door that won't seal shows up as condensation or a gasket that doesn't grip, and it lets warm air in.

Before you call, and how to keep it running

Start with the simple things. Confirm the temperature setting hasn't been bumped, make sure the vents inside aren't blocked by food, and close a dollar bill in the door to see if the gasket grips it. With the door switch pressed in, listen for the fan. If you see frost on the back wall, don't chip at it. To prevent repeat trouble near the coast, vacuum the condenser coils every few months, wipe the gaskets clean, and replace the water filter on schedule. Keep garage units away from direct heat. If those checks don't help, a $95 service call gets a technician to find the real cause.

Our freezer stopped working recently. When I called West Appliance Service they came to my home to assess the problem within 1 hour of calling. They were able to come back the next day to complete the repairs once they knew what parts they needed. The service was quick, smooth, and well done. We had a great experience working with Ivan and highly recommend anyone to use their services. We will definitely be a repeat customer if our appliances need repair.
