“If you want a great communicator and handyman call FixitBay LLC and ask for Andrei. Our building was having issues with a clothes dryer. Andrei was great at providing me scheduling times to choose from and letting me know he was on his way to the building. He ordered parts and then let me know when he would be back to replace. Start to finish it was all done professionally. Thank you!”
“Andrei and his helper are punctual, knowledgeable, and trustworthy. We've used their services multiple times and always been satisfied. In fact, I'm about to schedule another service call.”
“Super responsive even checking in daily while our part was in transit. Andrei was quick to come to our house on a weekend for the diagnostic and then came right after the part came to install. He understood we needed our fridge working and was very helpful”

Common Refrigerator Problems
In San Francisco you'll find everything from a Sub-Zero built-in in Pacific Heights to a 15-year-old GE in a Sunset flat, and the fog wears on all of them the same way. We repair every make across the city, from the Marina to Bernal Heights, and finish most jobs on the first visit.
Why fridges struggle near the coast. Homes within a mile of the ocean, in the Sunset, the Richmond, and the Outer Mission, sit in damp salty air that hardens door gaskets and corrodes condenser coils faster than the drier air inland. When the seals start to sweat or the food warms up, that is usually where the trouble begins.
Victorian kitchens, tight clearances. Victorian and Edwardian kitchens rarely leave much room behind a built-in refrigerator. With little airflow the compressor runs hot and works harder than it should, so we check the rear clearance on every call and tell you what we find.
Built-in and high-end work. Pacific Heights, Nob Hill, Russian Hill, and the Marina are full of Sub-Zero and other high-end built-ins that need dual-compressor and panel work a general handyman rarely touches. Most San Francisco refrigerator repairs start from $250 after the $80 diagnostic, which we credit toward the work, and every job carries a 180-day warranty.
Not Cooling
Refrigerator warm, not maintaining temperature, or food spoiling quickly.
Water Leaking
Water pooling under fridge, dripping inside, or ice buildup in freezer.
Ice Maker Issues
Not making ice, ice dispenser jammed, or slow ice production.
Strange Noises
Clicking, buzzing, humming, or grinding sounds from refrigerator.
Freezer Not Freezing
Freezer section warm, ice melting, or excessive frost buildup.
Running Constantly
Compressor won't stop, high energy bills, or unit overheating.
Refrigerator Repair vs. Replacement in San Francisco
Replacing a built-in fridge in San Francisco can mean $8,000 or more plus weeks of lead time, so a repair almost always wins. Use this guide to decide.
Most components are still within their expected lifespan - repair is almost always the better investment.
If the repair bill stays under half the cost of a comparable new unit, repairing makes financial sense.
Compressor replacement runs from $800. On an aging unit, that money is better put toward a newer, more efficient model.
Dents, scratches, or a cracked handle don't affect performance. Keep the fridge and fix what matters.
Our honest policy: If our diagnostic shows the repair isn't economically justified - we'll tell you before any work begins. No pressure, no hidden charges beyond the $80 diagnostic fee.
