Why is refrigerator repair different in Coastal San Diego?
Coastal fridges work harder than most owners realize — salt air corrodes condenser coils, and the constant marine-layer humidity stresses door gaskets and evaporator drains. We see more gasket failures and defrost-drain clogs in coastal homes than anywhere else in the county.
