Common Refrigerator Problems We Fix
1 Not Cooling Properly
Dirty condenser coils, failed evaporator fan motors, or a low refrigerant charge are the most common culprits when your fridge runs but does not get cold enough.
2 Ice Maker Failure
Frozen fill tubes, a bad water inlet valve, or a malfunctioning ice maker module can all stop ice production. We troubleshoot the root cause rather than just replacing parts.
3 Water Leaking on Floor
A clogged defrost drain, cracked water line, or damaged door gasket can cause water to pool under or inside your fridge. Left unchecked, this leads to floor damage and mold growth.
4 Compressor Noise or Failure
Loud buzzing, clicking, or humming from the rear of the unit often signals a failing compressor, bad start relay, or worn condenser fan motor. Early diagnosis prevents total compressor failure.
5 Freezer Works but Fridge Is Warm
This usually points to a defective damper control assembly or a blocked air vent between the freezer and refrigerator compartments. It can also indicate evaporator fan issues.
6 Frost Buildup in Freezer
Excessive frost in a frost-free freezer typically means the defrost heater, defrost thermostat, or defrost timer has failed. We test the full defrost circuit to pinpoint the faulty component.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long should a refrigerator last before needing major repairs?
Most refrigerators last 10 to 18 years depending on the brand and maintenance. French door models average 14-17 years, while top-freezer units can exceed 18 years. Regular condenser coil cleaning and door seal checks can add years to the lifespan of any unit.
What temperature should my refrigerator and freezer be set to?
The FDA recommends keeping your refrigerator at or below 40 degrees Fahrenheit and your freezer at 0 degrees Fahrenheit. Most modern units have digital displays, but an inexpensive appliance thermometer can verify accuracy if you suspect temperature drift.
How much does it cost to replace a refrigerator compressor?
Compressor replacement typically runs between $300 and $550 including parts and labor. If your refrigerator is less than 8 years old and otherwise in good condition, a compressor replacement is usually worth the investment. For older units, we will give you an honest recommendation on whether repair or replacement makes more financial sense.
My fridge is running but not cold enough. What could be wrong?
The most common causes are dirty condenser coils, a faulty evaporator fan, a failing thermostat, or a refrigerant leak. Dirty coils are a quick fix, while fan and thermostat replacements are mid-range repairs. Our technician can diagnose the exact cause during a single service visit.
Is it worth repairing a refrigerator or should I buy new?
As a general rule, if the repair costs more than half the price of a comparable new unit and the fridge is over 10 years old, replacement usually makes more sense. For high-end brands like Sub-Zero, Viking, or Thermador, repairs are almost always worthwhile because the replacement cost is significantly higher.
Why is my refrigerator making a loud buzzing or clicking noise?
Buzzing usually indicates a failing compressor relay or a vibrating condenser fan blade. Clicking can mean the compressor is trying to start but failing due to a bad start relay or overload protector. Both are repairable and should be addressed quickly to prevent compressor damage.
Can you repair built-in and counter-depth refrigerators?
Yes. Our technicians are experienced with built-in units from Sub-Zero, Viking, Thermador, and other premium brands, as well as counter-depth models from Samsung, LG, KitchenAid, and Bosch. Built-in units require specialized knowledge for access and part sourcing, which our team has.
