Refrigerator Repair — When Cooling Fails, Fast Action Matters
Refrigerators are one of the few appliances that can't wait. When cooling stops, food loss, water leaks, and electrical issues follow fast. The most common symptoms we see include erratic temperature, ice buildup, clicking noises, or constant cycling — each pointing to specific subsystem failures. Issues with airflow (evaporator fan, damper control), defrost circuits (heater, bi-metal, thermostat), or sensor logic (stuck relays, PCB faults) are typical causes. Freezers that over-ice or leak often trace back to clogged drains, gasket leaks, or failed defrost timing. The goal isn’t to guess — it’s to isolate the exact root cause, fast.
Brand-Level Diagnostics for Every Refrigerator Type
We repair French-door, side-by-side, top-freezer, bottom-freezer, and built-in column refrigerators from LG, Samsung, GE, Whirlpool, Bosch, KitchenAid, Electrolux, Frigidaire, Sub-Zero, and Thermador. Our diagnostics start with live temperature logging and airflow tests, followed by defrost circuit verification and control board response checks. If the model is smart-enabled or throws error codes (e.g., SY EF, E0, Er 22), we retrieve memory logs, check thermistor feedback, test dispenser draw, and validate inverter board logic. All fan motors are checked under load, along with sensor calibration and door switch behavior.
Sealed System Issues and Compressor Failure Testing
If the unit constantly runs, doesn’t cool at all, or shows abnormal frost patterns, we escalate to sealed system diagnostics. This includes compressor amp load testing, suction and discharge pressure analysis, and frost coil pattern inspection. If refrigerant loss is suspected, we use nitrogen pressure testing and dye-traced leak detection. Components like the inverter board, overload relay, and system charge level are tested for integrity. We handle both R600a and R134a systems, and if sealed system repair is viable, we quote on-site with estimated parts timeline. For high-end units like Sub-Zero or Viking, we adapt process to manufacturer protocols.
Repair or Replace — We Help You Decide with Confidence
If your fridge is under 10 years old and the failure is isolated — like a sensor, control board, or defrost issue — repair is typically more cost-effective. But if the compressor has failed outside warranty or multiple systems are degraded, we’ll help you determine whether replacement makes more sense. You’ll get a clear report, full cost breakdown, and expert recommendation — no pressure, no guesswork. We work around built-ins, panel-ready installs, and tight cabinetry to keep disruption minimal. All we need is access to power and, if applicable, the water line. We bring the tools. You get the fix.
