Separate airflow paths, dampers, door dispensers, and ice makers.
French Door Refrigerators
Dual doors, lower freezer drawers, electronic controls, and built-in ice and water systems.
Built-In & High-End Refrigerators
Including Sub-Zero, Thermador, and Viking, depending on the model and part availability.
Sealed-System Repairs
Refrigerant leaks, recharging, and compressor replacement, done by Tony under his EPA 608 certification.

Common Refrigerator Problems We Fix
These are the problems we see most often in Westminster-area kitchens. The same symptom can have more than one cause, so we test before we replace anything.
Refrigerator Not Cooling
Usually a failed evaporator fan, a frozen evaporator from a bad defrost part, a stuck damper, or dirty condenser coils.
Warm Refrigerator, Cold Freezer
Cold air isn’t reaching the fresh-food section: the evaporator fan, the damper, or frost blocking the airflow.
Running All the Time
Dirty condenser coils, a failed condenser fan, a worn door gasket, or a defrost problem. A hot compressor is another warning sign.
Not cooling but the compressor is running · Why your refrigerator compressor is hot
Frost or Ice Buildup
A failed defrost heater, sensor, thermostat, or control board.
Freezing Food in the Refrigerator
A damper stuck open or a temperature sensor (thermistor) reading wrong.
Buzzing or Clicking
Condenser fan motors, compressor start relays, and water inlet valves.

Water Dispenser Not Working
A frozen water line in the door, a clogged filter, or a failed dispenser valve.
Error Codes on the Display
The code points to a system, not always to the failed part. We test before replacing anything.
Refrigerator Brands We Repair
We repair Whirlpool, GE, Samsung, LG, Maytag, KitchenAid, Frigidaire, Kenmore, Amana, Electrolux, and built-in brands such as Sub-Zero, Thermador, and Viking.
Whirlpool, Maytag & KitchenAid
A warm fresh-food section with a cold freezer often traces back to a failed defrost heater or sensor that lets frost block the airflow.
Samsung
Evaporator fan noise and ice buildup around the fan are common. A weak water flow is often a clogged filter.
LG
Error codes such as ER FF, ER DH, and ER IF point to the freezer fan, the defrost system, and the ice compartment fan.
GE
Dirty condenser coils and failing condenser fans make the compressor run nonstop and raise the electric bill.
Frigidaire & Electrolux
Frost returning a few days after a manual defrost usually means a defrost heater, thermostat, or control board.
Kenmore & Amana
Many share parts with Whirlpool and other manufacturers, so the same tests apply.
Sub-Zero, Thermador & Viking
Built-in units have different layouts and part availability. Send us the model number and we’ll confirm.

Top-freezer, bottom-freezer, side-by-side, French door, and built-in refrigerators, including high-end brands such as Sub-Zero, Thermador, and Viking.

3. Why is my refrigerator warm but the freezer is cold?
Cold air isn’t reaching the fresh-food section. The usual causes are a failed evaporator fan, a stuck damper, or frost blocking the airflow because a defrost part failed.
4. Why does my refrigerator run all the time?
Dirty condenser coils, a failed condenser fan, a worn door gasket, or a defrost problem. Running nonstop also raises your electric bill, so it’s worth checking early.
5. Why is there frost building up in my freezer?
A failed defrost heater, defrost sensor or thermostat, or control board. If frost returns a few days after you defrost it by hand, a part needs to be replaced.
6. Why is my refrigerator freezing food?
Usually a damper stuck open or a temperature sensor sending the wrong reading to the control.
7. Do you repair refrigerant leaks and compressors?
Yes. Tony handles sealed-system work, including refrigerant leaks, recharging, and compressor replacement, under his EPA Section 608 Type I certification. After the diagnosis, we tell you whether the repair makes sense for your refrigerator.
8. Do you repair refrigerator water dispensers?
Yes. We repair water dispensers and the water lines, valves, and filters inside the refrigerator.

10. How much does refrigerator repair cost?
It depends on the problem and the parts. The service call is $99, and it’s free when you go ahead with the repair. You get the price before any work begins.
11. Can you fix my refrigerator on the first visit?
Many repairs are finished in one visit. Some parts are specific to your model and need to be ordered, which adds a second visit.
12. Where do I find my refrigerator’s model number?
Usually on a label inside the fresh-food compartment: on a side wall, the ceiling, the door frame, or near the crisper drawers.
