Refrigerator Repair in Lincoln, CA

Patriot Appliance Repair fixes refrigerators, freezers, wine coolers, and ice makers throughout Lincoln, CA. Owner Steven May is EPA 608 certified for sealed system work and handles every service call himself.


Lincoln is a short drive from our Auburn shop, so same-day and next-day appointments are usually available Monday through Friday. Refrigeration calls move to the front of the schedule because food is on the line.

Refrigerator Problems We Fix in Lincoln

We service French door, side-by-side, top-freezer, bottom-freezer, counter-depth, built-in, and column refrigerators, plus the ice makers and water dispensers built into them.


Common Lincoln calls include a refrigerator that will not hold temperature, ice building up on the rear wall from a failed defrost heater or thermostat, a noisy or seized evaporator fan, a compressor that clicks and shuts off on the start relay, refrigerant leaks in the sealed system, water on the kitchen floor from a blocked drain tube, and an ice maker that fills but never harvests.


We diagnose before we quote, so you know what failed and what it costs before anything gets replaced.

Sun City Lincoln Hills and Twelve Bridges are full of homes where the original builder-installed refrigerator is now ten to fifteen years old. That is exactly the age where one inexpensive part — a defrost thermostat, a start relay, a fan motor — decides whether the unit lasts another five years or goes to the curb. We will tell you honestly which situation you are in.


Lincoln also has a lot of garage refrigerators and backup freezers, and those live a hard life in Placer County summers. When a garage unit runs nonstop or frosts over, it is usually a condenser or defrost problem rather than a dead compressor, and that is an affordable fix.

Frequently Asked Questions — Refrigerator Repair in Lincoln

How fast can you get to Lincoln for a refrigerator that stopped cooling?

Usually the same day or the next business morning. Call (916) 805-1880 and you will get a straight answer about timing instead of a vague all-day window.


Do you work on Sub-Zero and other built-in refrigerators in Lincoln?

Yes. Sealed system and built-in refrigeration work is our specialty, and Steven May is EPA 608 certified. We also service standard freestanding units from every major brand.


My freezer works but the fresh food side is warm. What causes that?

Almost always airflow or defrost related — a failed evaporator fan, a defrost heater or thermostat that quit, or a damper stuck closed. It is usually a repair, not a replacement.


Will you look at a garage refrigerator or a chest freezer?

Yes. Garage units and backup freezers are common in Lincoln and we service them the same as a kitchen refrigerator.


What does a Lincoln service call include?

A full diagnostic, a plain-English explanation of what failed, and a quote before any work starts. You are never charged for work you have not approved.
