Warm, leaking, frosted over, noisy or silent.

Symptoms

What is your fridge doing?

These are the problems we're called about most, with the parts that usually cause them. The technician confirms the actual fault in your home before any repair.

01It's running, but not cooling

The light is on and you can hear it, yet food is getting warm. Usually something in the cooling cycle has stopped moving heat out of the cabinet.

  • Often
  • Dirty condenser coils
  • Condenser fan
  • Start relay
  • Compressor
02The freezer is cold, the fridge is warm

Cold air is made in the freezer and pushed into the fridge. When that airflow stops, the freezer stays fine while the fridge side warms up.

  • Often
  • Evaporator fan
  • Frosted evaporator
  • Air damper
03Water on the floor or under the crisper

Leaks usually come from defrost water that can't drain away, or from the water supply feeding the ice maker and dispenser.

  • Often
  • Clogged defrost drain
  • Water inlet valve
  • Supply line
  • Filter housing
04Frost or ice keeps building up

A frost-free fridge shouldn't need scraping. Heavy frost points to a defrost problem or warm, humid air getting in around the door.

  • Often
  • Defrost heater
  • Defrost thermostat
  • Door gasket
05It runs constantly or makes new noises

Buzzing, rattling, clicking or a motor that never shuts off usually means a fan is wearing out or the fridge is struggling to reach its set temperature.

  • Often
  • Fan motors
  • Condenser coils
  • Temperature sensor
06Ice maker or water dispenser stopped

No ice, small cubes or a slow dispenser often come down to water not reaching the unit, or a frozen line along the way.

  • Often
  • Water inlet valve
  • Frozen fill tube
  • Ice maker module
  • Old water filter
07It clicks but won't start

A click every few minutes followed by silence usually means the compressor is trying to start and failing.

  • Often
  • Start relay
  • Overload protector
  • Control board

Before you call, four quick checks

They take a couple of minutes and sometimes save a visit.

  1. Check 1

    Power

    Make sure the plug is fully in and the breaker for the kitchen hasn't tripped.

  2. Check 2

    Temperature control

    A dial or setting bumped while loading groceries is more common than you'd think.

  3. Check 3

    Door seal

    Close the door on a sheet of paper. If it slides out easily, warm air is getting in.

  4. Check 4

    Airflow

    Keep food off the vents inside and leave some space behind the fridge for air to move.

Still warm after that? Move perishables into a cooler and book a fridge repair.
