Refrigerator Help in California
Common refrigerator problems, safe checks, error codes, and California disposal and rebate facts.
Common problems
- Not cooling: dirty condenser coils, failed evaporator fan, or defrost problem
- Ice maker not working: water valve, frozen fill tube, or ice maker module
- Leaking water: clogged defrost drain or supply line
Safety first: unplug the appliance or switch off its breaker before touching anything inside, and shut off the water or gas supply where it applies. If you smell gas, leave the house and call your gas utility from outside.

FAQ
Does California Appliance Help repair appliances?
No. It is an information site run by Local Help Stations. It does not send technicians and does not take repair requests.
Are there partner shops in California?
Not yet. Partner shops are coming soon. A shop is only shown as a partner after it agrees in writing, and no shop pays to be listed.
