Rancho Santa Margarita's planned neighborhoods — from the family tracts near the lake to the hilltop homes along Antonio Parkway and the townhome clusters near RSM Town Center — were mostly built in the 1990s, putting the original appliances right at their replacement age. When it comes to refrigerator repair, a refrigerator not cooling is a frequent issue we resolve for local homeowners. TruePro's technicians arrive in Rancho Santa Margarita with fully stocked vans so most repairs are completed on the first visit.

"Traced the issue to a faulty thermostat sensor. Swapped it out and calibrated the temperature. Really impressed with how fast they worked."

Frequently Asked Questions

The most common causes are dirty condenser coils, a failed evaporator fan motor, or a bad compressor start relay. Dust-clogged coils are the number one reason — the compressor runs but can't release heat efficiently. Our $59 diagnostic identifies the exact cause, and the fee is waived if you go ahead with the repair.

A closed refrigerator typically holds safe temperatures for about four hours. If the fridge has been warm for longer than that, perishable items like dairy, meat, and leftovers should be discarded. Call us for same-day service to minimize food loss — we carry the most common cooling-system parts on our trucks.

It depends on the failure. A $150 relay or fan motor replacement is almost always worth it, even on a 15-year-old fridge. A compressor replacement on an older unit gets closer to the cost of a new fridge, and we'll be upfront about that. Our tech gives you the diagnosis and cost before any work starts, so you can make the call.
