Technician Alex arrived the same day, which was incredibly convenient. He quickly diagnosed the problem, and to my relief, had the necessary part right in his truck. The repair was completed on the spot, and my fridge was cooling perfectly again by the end of the day. The pricing was fair and affordable.I'm very pleased with the service from Refrigerator and Appliance Repair in Escondido. Alex was a true professional. Highly recommend them for prompt and reliable appliance repair
Who We Are: Escondido's Family-Run Appliance Repair Team
Refrigerator and Appliance Repair – Escondido is a family-owned appliance repair company based right here in Escondido, fixing refrigerators, washers, dryers, ovens, and dishwashers across North County since 2019. Call (858) 886-8646 between 7am and 9pm, daily, and you reach someone who actually works on appliances.
Started in Escondido in 2019 — Still Based Here
This page is the short version of who we are, how a visit works, and whose boots will be standing in your kitchen.
Yurii started the company in 2019 with one van, a set of tools, and a phone number he answered himself. The first calls came from neighbors here in Escondido. The next ones came from their relatives in San Marcos and Poway. Word of mouth built the schedule faster than any ad ever did.
Since 2019 the business has stayed family-owned and still runs out of Escondido. The vans cover more of North County now, and there are more hands on the tools, but the model hasn't moved: the people who own the company are the people doing the repairs. Yurii still takes service calls every week — you'll spot his first name in plenty of the reviews customers leave us.
What Happens When You Call
Every job follows the same path, whether it's a refrigerator in Escondido or a dryer in Rancho Bernardo.
You call or book online, and we give you an arrival window we intend to keep. The technician phones before heading over, so you're not staring out the window all afternoon.
On arrival, we diagnose the appliance for $80. Approve the repair, and that $80 comes off the bill — you pay for the fix, not for the looking. Got a second appliance acting up? We'll diagnose it during the same visit for $40.
You hear the price before we touch a part. Common parts ride in the van, so most repairs finish in one visit. When a part has to be ordered, you get the return date before we leave.
Every repair carries a 90-day labor warranty, and the company is insured. If something we fixed misbehaves within those 90 days, we come back and make it right.
The Technicians You'll Meet
Three technicians handle most of the calls you'll book with us: Yurii, Andrew, and Igor.
Yurii is the owner and founder — the same Yurii (sometimes spelled Yuri) that customers thank by name in our reviews. He started the company in 2019, still spends his weeks in the field, and has a soft spot for refrigerators and anything else that's supposed to stay cold.
Andrew owns a big share of our laundry calls. Washers that won't drain and dryers that tumble cold are the corner of the schedule he gravitates to.
Igor leans toward the kitchen side: ovens, ranges, cooktops, and dishwashers.
All three drive stocked vans, quote the price before starting, and explain what failed in plain English. Depending on the day's routes, another technician from our team may take your job — whoever knocks works for us, drives our van, and follows the same playbook.
Advice Before Invoices
Plenty of companies can swap a part. What customers remember about us is the advice that sometimes costs us money.
Before any repair, the facts go on the table: what failed, what the fix costs, and what we would do if it were our kitchen. You pay the $80 diagnostic, keep the facts, and decide with real numbers in front of you. One customer, Bart, wrote in his review that Yurii offered to walk him through doing the fix himself and charge only the diagnostic fee. That isn't a one-time stunt; it's the standing policy.
We'd rather lose one repair than lose the household. In a town where we shop at the same grocery stores as our customers, that trade pays us back every time.

The phone is answered 7am to 9pm, every day: (858) 886-8646. Prefer to skip the call? Book online and the bill drops by $20. Tell us what the appliance is doing and we'll tell you when we can be there — most of North County gets a same-day or next-day slot.
What Neighbors Say
Alex came in and did a thorough inspection, trying to find the problem. It turned out the range was on a line that had a GCFI switch that had closed (incorrectly wired). A simple click solved the range problem. He was honest and just charged the $80 inspection, though he could have charged more and I wouldn't have realized it. That kind of integrity goes a long way!
My Whirlpool French Door fridge in Escondido started making loud buzzing noises and wouldn't stay cold. Yuriy arrived the same day, diagnosed a failing evaporator fan, and replaced it right out of his van. Super knowledgeable and very polite. The fridge is quiet again — great experience!
Frequently Asked Questions
Who will actually show up at my door?
A technician from our own team — most often Yurii, Andrew, or Igor, though you may meet another of our techs depending on the day's routes. We don't hand jobs to strangers: the van, the tools, and the 90-day labor warranty all belong to the same family company you called.
Are you really local to Escondido?
Yes. Refrigerator and Appliance Repair – Escondido was founded here in 2019 and is still based in Escondido (92025). Our technicians work North County every day, which is why we can give real arrival windows instead of all-day maybes.
What kind of warranty comes with a repair?
Every repair includes a 90-day labor warranty, and the company is insured. If the same problem returns within 90 days of our fix, call (858) 886-8646 and we come back at no labor charge.
How do I book a repair?
Call (858) 886-8646 7 days a week from 7am to 9pm, or book online and take $20 off the final bill. Either way, tell us the appliance type, the brand, and what it's doing — that helps the technician load the right parts before driving over.
Ready When Your Appliance Isn't
Call now or book online — same-day slots across Escondido and North County, 7am–9pm daily. The $80 diagnostic comes off the bill when you approve the repair.
