Refrigerator Repair in the Chicago Suburbs
A refrigerator that stops cooling puts a week of groceries at risk, so we treat it as urgent. Our technicians repair freestanding, French door, side-by-side and built-in refrigerators and freezers, and we give you the price before any repair starts.
Common refrigerator repair problems we fix
Not cooling (or freezer works, fridge is warm)
Often a failed evaporator fan, a frozen defrost system or a stuck air damper. The fix depends on which part failed, so we confirm the cause first.
Frost or ice buildup
Usually points to a defrost heater, defrost thermostat or sensor problem, or a door gasket that lets in warm air.
Water leaking on the floor
Common causes are a clogged defrost drain, a cracked water line or a failing inlet valve on models with an ice maker or water dispenser.
Loud, clicking or buzzing noises
Fan motors, the compressor start relay and worn bearings are the usual suspects.
Ice maker or water dispenser not working
We check the water supply, inlet valve, filter and ice maker assembly.
Running constantly
Dirty condenser coils, worn door seals or a faulty temperature sensor can keep the compressor running nonstop and raise your energy bill.

Frequently asked questions
Why is my refrigerator warm but the freezer is cold?
This usually means cold air is not reaching the fresh-food section. A failed evaporator fan, an iced-over evaporator coil or a stuck damper are the most common reasons. A technician can tell which one in a single visit.
Is it worth repairing my refrigerator?
As a rule of thumb, repair makes sense when the cost is well under half the price of a comparable new unit and the refrigerator is not near the end of its typical 10 to 15 year life. We give you an honest recommendation with the quote.
Do you repair built-in and luxury refrigerators?
Yes. We service built-in and high-end brands such as Sub-Zero, Thermador, Viking and Miele, as well as standard models.
What should I do with my food while I wait?
Keep the doors closed as much as possible. A closed refrigerator keeps food safe for about four hours and a full freezer for about 48 hours. Move perishables to a cooler with ice if the repair will take longer.
