Frigidaire Appliance Repair in San Diego
Frigidaire is the value end of American appliances — Frigidaire, the step-up Gallery, and the Professional line — and its failures cluster around a few well-known spots, the ice maker first among them. A Frigidaire fridge that's stopped making ice, or one that's drifted warm, is the call we get most. We run same-day Frigidaire repair across San Diego on refrigerators, ranges, dishwashers, and freezers, carry the common parts on the truck, and give you a straight read on what it takes to get a given Frigidaire running again — flat $80 diagnostic, applied to the repair.

Why San Diego homeowners call us for Frigidaire.
Frigidaire is built to a price, and that shapes how we approach a repair. The platforms are simple and the parts are inexpensive and widely available, which means most Frigidaire repairs are quick and affordable — and after the flat $80 diagnostic you get a clear written quote with the real numbers, so you always know exactly what the fix costs before we touch anything.
The single most common Frigidaire call is the ice maker. Frigidaire and Gallery ice makers — both the in-door units and the built-in assemblies — are known to stop producing, usually from a failed ice-maker module, a stuck water-inlet valve, or a frozen fill tube. They're a defined, available repair. The other regular is a Frigidaire fridge that's gone warm: typically the evaporator fan (often with an SY EF code), a defrost fault, or the control board.
We service the full Frigidaire line across San Diego — refrigerators, ranges and ovens, cooktops, dishwashers, over-the-range microwaves, and freezers — across the Frigidaire, Gallery, and Professional tiers, with a written quote before any work.
We've handled Frigidaire in Clairemont, Mira Mesa, La Mesa, and across San Diego County since 2019 — every repair backed by our 90-day parts-and-labor guarantee.

The Frigidaire line — Frigidaire, Gallery & Professional.
Refrigerators
Top-freezer, side-by-side, and French-door, plus Gallery and Professional. The ice-maker faults Frigidaire is known for, not-cooling, and the SY EF / SY CE codes behind them.
Ranges & Ovens
Gas and electric ranges and wall ovens. The F10-series runaway-temperature faults, bake elements, igniters, and oven sensors.
Dishwashers
Built-in and Gallery models. The i20 drain and i40 fill faults, no-clean complaints, and leaks — usually the pump, filter, or inlet valve.
Freezers
Upright and chest freezers — a Frigidaire strength. Not-freezing, frost build-up, and defrost faults that can put a whole load of food at risk.
Washers & Dryers
Front-load and top-load laundry. Won't-drain, won't-spin, and no-heat faults, with the fault codes Frigidaire washers share with their Electrolux platform.
What commonly fails on a Frigidaire?
Ice Maker Not Making Ice
The signature Frigidaire call. Frigidaire and Gallery ice makers — in-door and built-in — quit at the module, the water-inlet valve, or a fill tube iced over. We run the harvest cycle and replace only what's failed; the module is an available, defined repair.
Refrigerator Not Cooling
A Frigidaire or Gallery fridge drifting warm is usually the evaporator fan — often with an SY EF code — a defrost fault, or the control board, not a dead compressor. The code points us at the fan and defrost circuit before the sealed system ever comes up.
Freezer Not Freezing or Frosting Over
Frigidaire builds a lot of freezers, and when an upright or chest unit stops holding temperature it's usually a defrost fault, a door seal, or the start components on the compressor. We move these to the front — a failing freezer can cost a whole load of food.
Oven Runaway Temperature — F10
An F10 (or F11) means the oven ran away on temperature — usually a shorted relay on the control board or a failing oven sensor. It's a safety fault we take seriously: we isolate the relay from the sensor and replace only the part at fault.
Dishwasher Won't Drain — i20
An i20 on a Frigidaire dishwasher flags a drain fault — typically a clogged filter, a pinched hose, or a spent pump. We clear it and run a cycle to confirm the i20 stays gone.
Range Element or Burner Won't Heat
An electric element that stays cold is usually the element or the infinite switch behind it; a gas burner that clicks but won't light is the igniter. Common, inexpensive Frigidaire parts — we isolate and replace just the one at fault.
Washer Won't Drain or Spin
On Frigidaire laundry it's usually the drain pump, the door lock on a front-loader, or a worn belt or motor. We diagnose which — and lay out the repair in a written quote so you see the real cost up front.
What is my Frigidaire display code telling me?
Frigidaire shows a code before most failures — and it points to the system, not always the part. Here are the ones we see most across San Diego, and whether each is a reset or a real repair.
| Appliance | Code | What it means & first step |
|---|---|---|
| Refrigerator | SY EF | SY EF is an evaporator-fan fault — the fan that circulates cold air has failed or is being read as failed. It's a leading cause of a warm Frigidaire, and a defined, available part. We confirm the fan versus its control before replacing. |
| Refrigerator | SY CE / H1 | SY CE is a communication error between the control boards; a power-cycle sometimes clears it, but a persistent one means a board or harness. H1 (or HI) is a high-temperature warning — the cabinet is too warm, which sends us to the fan, defrost, or sealed system. |
| Oven | F10 / F11 | F10 and F11 are runaway-temperature faults: the oven read hotter than commanded. Usually a shorted relay on the control board (EOC) or a failing oven sensor. A safety fault — we isolate which and replace only that part. |
| Oven | F30 / F31 | F30 (open) and F31 (shorted) point to the oven temperature sensor (RTD) or its wiring. A straightforward, inexpensive part — and far more likely than the control board, which we rule out first. |
| Dishwasher | i20 / i40 | i20 is a drain fault (clogged filter, blocked hose, or failing pump); i40 is a fill or water-level fault. Both are defined repairs — we read the code, find the actual cause, and confirm with a full cycle. |
