Refrigerator problems we fix every day
Refrigerator not cooling but freezer works
Almost always an airflow problem: a failed evaporator fan motor, a frosted-over evaporator coil from a bad defrost heater or defrost thermostat, or a stuck damper between the freezer and fresh-food section. These are common, well-understood repairs that typically land in the $150 to $350 range and are finished in one visit.
Refrigerator not cooling at all
When both compartments are warm, suspects include the condenser fan, the start relay and capacitor on the compressor, the main control board, or the compressor itself. A relay or fan is an inexpensive same-day fix; a sealed-system or compressor failure is the one refrigerator repair where we sometimes advise replacement instead.
Ice maker not making ice
Usually a failed water inlet valve, a frozen fill tube, or the ice maker module itself giving out. Samsung french-door units are known for the whole icemaker compartment freezing over, which needs a defrost and often a factory-updated part. Most ice maker jobs run $150 to $350 installed.
Refrigerator leaking water on the floor
A clogged defrost drain is the top cause: meltwater backs up and runs out under the crisper drawers. Cracked water filter housings and split inlet valve lines are next. Clearing the drain and checking the water lines is a quick visit, and far cheaper than replacing water-damaged flooring.
Frost or ice buildup in the freezer
A sheet of frost on the back wall points to a failed defrost heater, defrost thermostat, or control board not running the defrost cycle. Frost around the door opening instead points to a worn door gasket letting humid air in, which is a chronic problem in humid climates.
Refrigerator making loud humming or clicking noises
A clicking sound every few minutes is usually the compressor start relay failing; a loud hum or buzz that stops when you open the door is typically an evaporator fan with iced-up or worn bearings. A rattle from below is most often the condenser fan hitting debris. All three are routine, modestly priced repairs.
Refrigerator runs constantly or cycles too often
Dirty condenser coils force the compressor to run long and hot, especially in homes with pets. Failed door gaskets and faulty thermistors also keep the unit running. A coil cleaning and gasket check often solves it and drops the electric bill at the same time.
Water dispenser not working
An overdue water filter, a frozen tank or line in the door, or a failed inlet valve or dispenser switch are the usual causes. In hard-water areas, mineral scale can choke the valve and lines over time. Most dispenser repairs are under $250 installed.

Repair or replace your refrigerator?
A refrigerator under 10 years old with a fan, defrost, ice maker, or gasket problem is worth repairing: those jobs run $150 to $400, against $1,200 to $2,500 for a comparable new french-door unit. The line moves at the sealed system. A compressor or refrigerant leak on a unit past 8 years usually isn't worth $600 to $1,000, with the exception of LG linear compressors still under their 10-year warranty and built-ins like Sub-Zero, which are designed to be rebuilt. Our technician diagnoses first and quotes flat either way.

Refrigerator repair FAQ
How much does a typical refrigerator repair cost?
Most refrigerator repairs land between $150 and $400 installed; fans, defrost components, ice makers, valves, and gaskets all fall in that band. Control boards run $250 to $450, and sealed-system work is the outlier at $600 or more, which is when we talk honestly about replacement.
How long does a refrigerator repair take?
Most jobs take 60 to 90 minutes, and our trucks stock evaporator fans, relays, valves, and defrost parts for the major brands, so the majority are done in one visit. A heavily iced evaporator can add time because the coil has to be thawed before the new part goes in.
Is it worth repairing a 10-year-old refrigerator?
For a fan motor, defrost part, gasket, or ice maker, usually yes: those repairs are a fraction of a new unit's price. If a 10-year-old fridge needs a compressor or has a refrigerant leak, replacement is generally the better spend unless it's a built-in like Sub-Zero or Viking.
My fridge stopped cooling. Is there anything I can check myself?
Yes. Confirm the temperature controls weren't bumped, make sure nothing is blocking the air vents between the freezer and fresh-food section, and vacuum the condenser coils behind the base grille if they're matted with dust. If it's still warm after a few hours, the fault is internal and needs a technician.
What brands of refrigerator do you repair?
All major brands: Whirlpool, LG, Samsung, GE, KitchenAid, Frigidaire, Kenmore, and built-ins like Sub-Zero and Viking. Our technicians see the same handful of failures on each brand (LG compressors, Samsung ice makers, Whirlpool evaporator fans) and carry the common parts.
Why does my Samsung ice maker keep freezing up?
It's a known design issue on many Samsung french-door models: air leaks into the icemaker compartment, condenses, and freezes the mechanism solid. The lasting fix is a full defrost plus sealing the compartment and installing Samsung's updated parts, not just chipping the ice out.
