Common fault
What is the loud humming or rattling from my refrigerator?
Short answer
A new noise is worth a call before it is worth a panic. The usual sources are the condenser fan, which rattles when debris reaches it or when its bearing wears, and the compressor mounts, which harden with age and transmit a hum into the cabinetry. The reason to deal with it early is simple: a fan left to seize stops the unit rejecting heat, and a cheap part turns into a warm refrigerator.
If that matches what your appliance is doing, say so when you call — it tells us which parts to bring, and most of these are finished in one visit.

What La Jolla customers say
Our Sub-Zero freezer went out on a Sunday. They answered immediately and had a technician at our home in Bird Rock within two hours. Incredibly professional and fast service!
The technician who fixed our wine cooler was so knowledgeable. He explained the problem clearly and gave us a fair price. Excellent service for our home near La Jolla Shores.
Finally, a repair service that operates 24/7 as advertised. They were able to come late in the evening to fix our refrigerator in the Muirlands area. Lifesavers!
