Common Symptoms
What's Your Refrigerator Doing?
Pick the problem you're seeing. Each one links to troubleshooting guidance so you understand the likely cause before we arrive.
Not Cooling
The most common call we get. Could be a failed compressor, dirty condenser coils, a bad start relay, or a defrost-system fault — we'll pinpoint it fast.
Troubleshoot thisNot Making Ice
Ice maker not producing? Often a water-supply, valve, or mold-thermostat issue — sometimes a simple filter or line freeze we can clear.
Troubleshoot thisLeaking Water
A clogged defrost drain is the usual culprit, sending water onto your floor. We clear the drain and check the seal and pan.
Troubleshoot thisRunning Constantly
A fridge that never shuts off wastes energy and wears out early. Dirty coils, a bad seal, or a failing thermostat are common causes.
Troubleshoot thisMaking Noise
Buzzing, rattling, or knocking? We isolate whether it's the compressor, fan motor, or ice maker and quiet it down.
Troubleshoot thisFreezing Food
Crisper-drawer produce frozen solid usually points to a thermistor, damper, or temperature-control-board fault.
Troubleshoot thisWarm Fridge / Cold Freezer
Classic airflow problem — often a frozen evaporator coil or failed defrost cycle. We restore proper cooling balance.
Troubleshoot thisNo Power
Completely dead? We check the power cord, control board, and thermal fuse before recommending anything.
Troubleshoot thisIce Maker Problems
Small, clumped, or misshapen cubes — or the maker stuck mid-cycle. We repair or replace the ice-maker assembly cleanly.
Troubleshoot thisNot sure what’s wrong? That’s exactly what we’re here for — we’ll diagnose your refrigerator in person and explain it in plain language.
Honest Guidance
Repair or Replace Your Refrigerator?
Refrigerators are usually worth repairing unless the compressor has failed on an older unit. A failed compressor on a fridge over about 10–12 years old is often the tipping point where replacement makes more sense. For newer refrigerators and most other failures — fans, defrost systems, ice makers, controls — repair is typically the smart financial call. We'll give you a straight answer once we've diagnosed it.
The smartest call depends on your refrigerator’s age, brand, and the cost of the repair versus replacement. Our calculator walks you through the factors.
Thermal Imaging Analysis
We use infrared thermal cameras to pinpoint seized compressor windings (170°F+) without guessing or tearing down working components.
Not Sure What to Do?
Use our Repair vs. Replace Calculator, or talk to an appliance expert — no pressure, just a straight answer.
When repair no longer makes financial sense, we can also help you explore replacement options.

ViewQuestions & Answers
Refrigerator Repair FAQ
Straight answers to the questions we hear most about repairing your appliance.
Is a refrigerator worth repairing or should I replace it?
In most cases, repair is the smart call. We only recommend replacement when the compressor has failed on an older refrigerator (roughly 10+ years). For everything else — cooling, defrost, ice-maker, and control issues — repair is almost always more affordable than a new fridge.
How fast can you come out for a refrigerator not cooling?
A fridge that isn't cooling is urgent. We prioritize cooling-failure calls and do our best to offer the earliest available appointment. Call us and we'll work to get a technician to you as quickly as our schedule allows.
Do you repair built-in and French-door refrigerators?
Yes. We service built-in, French-door, side-by-side, bottom-freezer, and top-freezer configurations from every major manufacturer, including Sub-Zero-style built-ins.
Will you tell me the cost before you start the repair?
Always. We use flat-rate repair pricing with upfront authorization. You'll know the full cost of the repair and approve it before any work begins — no surprises.
