Pasadena • Glendale Service Hub
Stand-alone upright and chest freezers, built-in Sub-Zero column freezers, and undercounter freezer drawers. Jacob carries compressors, defrost components, evaporator fans, temperature sensors, and start relays for all major freezer brands. — 15 minutes via I-210 from our Glendale office on Colorado Blvd.
From the Craftsman bungalows near the Rose Bowl to the Spanish Colonial estates along Orange Grove, Pasadena homes run the full spectrum — and so do their appliances.
Failed compressor, defective start relay, dirty condenser coils, or a refrigerant issue causing temperature to rise above 0°F — food loss escalates rapidly.
Failed defrost heater, defective defrost thermostat, or a bad defrost timer causing ice to accumulate on the evaporator coils.
Dirty condenser coils, failed door gasket, or a defective temperature sensor causing the compressor to run non-stop without reaching target temp.
Failing evaporator fan motor, worn compressor mounts, or a loose condenser fan blade creating noise during cycling.
Failed ice maker module, frozen water inlet valve, or a cracked fill tube — common in freezers older than 8 years.
Torn or compressed door gasket allowing warm air in, causing frost buildup and high compressor cycling — one of the most expensive failures to ignore.
$160–$550
Defrost system, fan motor, and relay repairs typically run $160–$320. Compressor replacement on stand-alone units falls in the $380–$550 range. Sub-Zero built-in column freezer service is quoted separately.
Jacob provides an exact written quote before starting any work — no hidden fees, no surprise charges. The diagnostic service call fee is applied toward the repair if you proceed.
"A freezer that's not freezing is a food-safety call — I prioritize them. The most common cause in LA is the start relay, which costs under $30 in parts. Compressor failures are less common but I carry those too. Either way, I can diagnose it on the first visit."
