Refrigerator Repair FAQs

Common questions about refrigerator repair services.

Common causes include dirty condenser coils, a faulty evaporator fan, thermostat issues, or a failing compressor. We can diagnose the exact cause and provide the appropriate repair.
We recommend cleaning condenser coils every 6-12 months. Dirty coils make your refrigerator work harder and can lead to premature failure. The coils are usually located at the back or bottom of the unit.
Unusual noises can indicate issues with the compressor, evaporator fan, condenser fan, or ice maker. A buzzing or clicking sound often points to a relay issue. We can diagnose the source and fix it.
Generally, if your refrigerator is less than 10 years old and the repair cost is less than half the price of a new one, repair is worthwhile. We'll give you honest advice about whether repair or replacement makes more sense.
