Santa Monica • West Hollywood 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. — 22 minutes from our West Hollywood office via Santa Monica Blvd.
Santa Monica's oceanfront condos, north-of-Montana estates, and charming bungalows south of Wilshire all share one thing in common — they need a reliable appliance tech on speed dial.
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.
Wondering what else covers freezer repair? It is all listed side by side at Santa Monica appliance repair near me.
"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. Santa Monica is always on my weekly run. The north-of-Montana calls are usually Sub-Zero or Viking — those kitchens are built to a standard that makes the diagnostic work genuinely interesting."
