How we repair your Refrigerator
A household refrigerator keeps fresh food cold with a fresh-food section and usually a freezer compartment, cooled by a sealed refrigerant system and a set of fans. Every refrigerator relies on a compressor, condenser, evaporator, fans and a control board or thermostat working together, plus door gaskets that hold the cold in. A technician starts by measuring cabinet and coil temperatures, checking airflow and defrost operation, then tests electrical parts before ever touching the sealed system.

Common Refrigerator problems we fix
What usually causes each symptom, and what our technician checks to confirm it.
Interior light or controls not working
- Likely causes
- A failed door switch, a burned-out bulb or LED board, or a fault on the main control board.
- What our technician checks
- The door switch is tested for continuity, voltage is checked at the light socket, and the control board is checked for error codes.
Clicking and short cycling
- Likely causes
- A start relay or overload protector cutting out because the compressor is struggling, often from dirty coils or a failing compressor.
- What our technician checks
- The relay and overload are tested, compressor windings are checked with a meter, and starting amperage is measured.
Freezer and fridge both warm
- Likely causes
- Dirty condenser coils, a failed condenser fan, a bad start relay, or a compressor that is not starting.
- What our technician checks
- The condenser fan and compressor are checked for operation, the relay and overload are tested, and coil temperatures are measured.
Food freezing in the fresh-food section
- Likely causes
- A damper stuck open, a faulty thermistor reading too warm, or food blocking the cold air vent so it collects frozen items nearby.
- What our technician checks
- The thermistor resistance is compared against its temperature chart and the damper is watched as it opens and closes.
Fresh-food section warm while freezer is cold
- Likely causes
- An iced-over evaporator from a defrost failure, a stuck air damper between compartments, or a failed evaporator fan that no longer pushes cold air into the fresh-food side.
- What our technician checks
- The technician checks for frost on the rear freezer panel, confirms the evaporator fan runs, and tests the damper motor and defrost heater for continuity.
Water pooling under crisper drawers
- Likely causes
- A clogged or frozen defrost drain that sends meltwater into the cabinet instead of the drain pan.
- What our technician checks
- The drain is flushed with warm water, the drain tube and heater strap are inspected, and the defrost cycle is verified.
Quick checks you can do safely
- Confirm the plug is seated and the breaker has not tripped.
- Check that both temperature controls are at their normal settings.
- Move food away from the vents on the back wall of each compartment.
- Test the door gaskets by closing a piece of paper in the door and pulling it out.
- Clean dust and lint from the grille at the bottom front of the unit.
Safety first: Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning coils or removing panels, and leave sealed refrigerant work to an EPA-certified technician.
