How We Repair Your Refrigerator
Refrigerators, coolers and prep tables all depend on a compressor, two fans, a sealed refrigerant loop and a defrost system working together.
Common Refrigerator Problems We Fix
Clicking, buzzing or loud running
A failing start relay makes the compressor click on and off; a worn fan motor or ice on the fan blade causes buzzing or rattling.
Runs constantly
Dirty coils, a torn door gasket letting warm air in, a failing fan or low refrigerant.
Ice maker or dispenser not working
A frozen fill tube, a bad water inlet valve, a clogged filter or a failed ice maker module.
Not cooling or running warm
Usually a dirty condenser coil, a failed condenser or evaporator fan, a bad start relay or a defrost problem that has iced over the evaporator. A sealed-system leak is less common but possible.
Freezer works but the fresh-food side is warm
Classic sign of a frosted-over evaporator or a stuck air damper. The defrost heater, thermostat or control is checked first.
Water on the floor or under the crisper drawers
A clogged defrost drain, a cracked drain pan or a leaking water inlet valve or supply line.
Quick Checks Before You Call
These are safe for most owners and sometimes solve the problem without a visit:
- Make sure the temperature controls were not bumped (37-40°F fresh food, 0°F freezer).
- Vacuum the condenser coils at the bottom or back and clear anything blocking the vents.
- Close a dollar bill in the door: if it slides out easily, the gasket may not be sealing.
- Listen for the fan inside the freezer when the door switch is pressed.

Should I repair or replace my refrigerator?
A refrigerator typically lasts about 10 to 15 years. If yours is well inside that range and the repair costs less than half the price of a new one, repairing usually makes sense. Near the end of its life, or when the repair costs more than half of a replacement, replacing is often the better value. We give you an honest opinion either way.
