Classic & PRO Series Appliance Maintenance in Del Mar

On this stretch of coast a maintenance visit is the cheapest thing in the whole ownership of the appliance. The condenser on a Del Mar built-in collects salt as well as dust, the salt holds moisture, the moisture glues the dust to the fins, and the aluminum underneath starts corroding while everything still appears to be working. A vacuum at the grille does not touch any of that. A scheduled visit clears the coil properly, checks the seals and the drain path, and verifies temperatures against a probe instead of the display.

What this covers in Del Mar

A full service on Classic built-ins, PRO series units, freezer and wine columns and undercounter equipment: condenser cleaning, door gasket inspection and replacement, drain path check, fan and defrost testing, control calibration, and a calibrated temperature verification in every compartment.

• Condenser cleaned properly rather than vacuumed at the grille
• Fins inspected for the corrosion that salt air causes
• Door gaskets checked around the full perimeter with the door closed
• Defrost drain path flushed before it has a chance to freeze closed
• Condenser and evaporator fan motors checked by hand and under load
• Each compartment verified against a calibrated probe

How often depends on where the house sits, and in Del Mar that changes over a remarkably short distance. A unit west of the tracks, in a house that gets salt on its windows, loads its coil faster than the same model up on Del Mar Heights, and a house with dogs loads it faster again. The honest answer is that the coil tells you: if you can still see light through the fins, the interval is right, and if they are matted, it is not. We would rather show you which one you have than sell you a schedule you may not need.
