My Samsung fridge stopped making ice. Is it the water valve?

Usually not, it's the icemaker assembly itself on most French-door models. We confirm on the bench and check if your serial is covered under a replacement program before we quote anything.

Is a 15-year-old garage fridge worth fixing?

If the compressor still runs fine, yes, almost always. A fan motor or a gasket is a small fraction of a new unit's cost.

Does Burlingame get a slower response than closer East Bay cities?

No. Our Peninsula technician lives in San Mateo County, and Burlingame sits on his regular route with Millbrae and Hillsborough.

Refrigeration Repair in Burlingame

Refrigeration Repair in Burlingame.

Burlingame's older flats and the compact homes toward the airport mostly run GE, Whirlpool, and Samsung refrigerators, kitchen units and a second fridge in the garage both. The common call is a fridge that runs constantly and still doesn't hold temperature, which traces to an evaporator fan or a defrost system that's stopped cycling.

A lot of the garage units here are older leftovers from a kitchen upgrade, running on an original compressor well past the point most people replace a fridge. We check compressor health first on those calls, since that's what decides whether a repair makes sense at all.

What the work looks like

A built-in sealed-system leak repair.

Nitrogen pressure and a soap-bubble test on a built-in fridge line set. We map every leak source before we braze.

The corroded copper up close. After fifteen-plus years this is why a real fix rebuilds the sealed run, so you do not pay the labor twice.

Water and ice systems

The water inlet valve, a common fridge leak.

Every fridge with a dispenser or ice maker has a water inlet valve. The fittings can leak under the cabinet, or the solenoid fails and the dispenser and ice maker stop getting water.

Common repairs we do

What we close on the truck.

Evaporator fan motor failure. Compressor runs nonstop, box stays warm, because cold air isn't moving across the coil.
Defrost timer or heater not cycling. Ice builds on the coil and the freezer slowly warms while the fresh food side lags behind.
Icemaker assembly stopped producing ice. Common on Samsung and LG French-door units. We confirm on the bench and check if the serial qualifies for a manufacturer replacement program before quoting.
Door gasket no longer sealing. Cold leaks at the seal, compressor runs long. Straight swap once the door alignment checks out.
