Common refrigerator problems we fix
Recognize any of these? Here's the likely cause and how we fix it.
| Symptom | Likely cause | Our fix |
|---|---|---|
| Fridge not cooling but freezer is fine | Failed evaporator fan motor or a defrost problem blocking airflow between compartments | Test the evaporator fan and defrost heater/thermostat, clear frost from the evaporator coil, and replace the failed component |
| Both compartments warm, compressor runs constantly | Dirty condenser coils, a failed condenser fan, or a sealed-system refrigerant leak | Clean the condenser coils, verify the condenser fan, and leak-test the sealed system; recharge or replace the compressor if needed |
| Water pooling under or inside the fridge | Clogged or frozen defrost drain tube, or a cracked drain pan | Thaw and flush the defrost drain, install a drain heater/clip where the design allows, and reseal or replace the pan |
| Ice maker not making ice | Frozen fill tube, failed water inlet valve, or a stuck ice-maker module | Thaw the fill tube, test inlet-valve solenoids for continuity, and replace the ice-maker assembly if the module has failed |
| Loud buzzing or clicking every few minutes | A failing start relay/overload on the compressor | Test the start relay and overload protector and replace the relay before the compressor overheats |

What to expect
Every refrigerator repair is different, so we don't quote blind. A flat diagnostic fee covers the visit and on-site diagnosis and applies toward your repair — then you get a firm, upfront price before any work starts. No surprises on the bill.
Repair or replace? If your refrigerator is under 8 years old, or the repair costs less than half of a comparable new unit, repair is usually the smart call — and we'll tell you honestly when it isn't.
Why professional refrigerator repair beats DIY
A misdiagnosis means buying the wrong part and still having a broken refrigerator. We diagnose to the exact component so it's fixed once. Our technicians are insured, and every repair is warrantied — so you're covered.

Refrigerator Repair — FAQs
Is it worth repairing a refrigerator?
As a rule of thumb, repair makes sense when the unit is under 8 years old or the repair costs less than half the price of a comparable new fridge. Built-in and Sub-Zero units are almost always worth repairing given their replacement cost. We give you an upfront quote before any work so you can decide.
How long does refrigerator repair take?
Most repairs — fans, thermostats, inlet valves, start relays — are completed in a single visit. Sealed-system and compressor work may require a follow-up if specialty parts are needed, which we order same day.
Why is my refrigerator freezing food in the fresh-food section?
Usually a failed temperature control, a stuck damper between compartments, or a thermistor reading incorrectly. We test each and replace the faulty part rather than just turning the dial.
