Common problems

Refrigerator problems we fix

Refrigerator not cooling

If the freezer is still cold but the fresh-food side is warm, cold air isn't getting through — usually a stopped evaporator fan or a coil blocked with frost. If both sides are warm, the problem is on the compressor side.

Usual causes: evaporator fan motor · defrost heater, thermostat or control · condenser fan · start relay · dirty condenser coils

Freezer not freezing or frosting over

A thick layer of frost on the back wall means the automatic defrost has stopped working. Soft ice cream with no frost usually means weak airflow or a failing compressor start circuit.

Usual causes: defrost heater · defrost thermostat · defrost timer or board · door gasket · evaporator fan

Refrigerator making noise

Clicking every few minutes, buzzing, grinding or a fan that scrapes on ice. The sound and where it comes from usually tell us which part is going before we open anything.

Usual causes: fan blade hitting ice · worn fan motor bearings · compressor start relay clicking · ice maker

Ice maker not making ice

No ice, small or hollow cubes, or water dispensing slowly. Often a frozen fill tube or a failed water inlet valve; a clogged water filter is the cheap thing to rule out first.

Usual causes: water inlet valve · frozen fill tube · ice maker assembly · water filter · low water pressure

Refrigerator leaking water

Water under the crisper drawers or on the floor. Most often the defrost drain is clogged and meltwater overflows; leaks at the back point to the water line, valve or filter housing.

Usual causes: clogged defrost drain · water inlet valve · filter housing · supply line · drain pan

Refrigerator running constantly

A compressor that never shuts off is working too hard — dirty coils, a leaking door seal or a bad temperature sensor. Left alone, it shortens the life of the compressor.

Usual causes: dirty condenser coils · door gasket · thermistor / temperature sensor · condenser fan

Before you call — quick checks

Check the thermostat wasn't bumped — 37 °F fridge, 0 °F freezer.
Make sure food isn't blocking the air vents inside the fridge.
Listen at the bottom: if the condenser fan isn't running, don't keep the unit going for days.
Heavy frost on the freezer back wall? Keep the door closed and call — it's usually the defrost system.

Questions

Refrigerator & Freezer Repair FAQ

Is it worth repairing an older refrigerator?

Fans, defrost parts, relays and valves are usually worth fixing on any fridge. If the compressor or sealed system has failed on a unit over 10–12 years old, we'll tell you honestly that replacing may make more sense.

Do you fix built-in and French-door models?

Yes — French-door, side-by-side, bottom-freezer, top-freezer and built-in units, including Samsung, LG, Whirlpool, GE and KitchenAid.

How much is the service call?

The diagnostic service call is $79. If you approve the repair, the $79 is applied toward it — you pay only the quoted repair price. If you decide not to repair, you pay just the $79.
