"Customer states unit would not dispense water and now will not dispense ice and has since stopped cooling. Upon arrival unit was unplugged so I was unable to read temps or check frost pattern. Upon plugging unit back in compressor started up and frost pattern formed. Also when pressing dispenser, unit shorts and turns compressor off. After releasing dispenser compressor sometimes turns right back on after pressures have dropped. Unit needs new main PCB. Condenser fan is also making squeaking noise as if bearing is going out on it. Customer opted to bypass switch as he doesnt want to put too much money into unit as replacing it would not be as expensive as doing full repairs. Took out dispenser switch from circuit. Unit started with no issues. Please allow 48 hours for unit to cool completely and ice production to begin. Job complete. ; dspstn on spec-tagged invntry: 1 WR55X10942C CNTRL *HAS CORE*"

Time will tell … Chris came out cuz we had a final issue w/ the new refrigerator French doors. Left door closed properly; right door had to be physically pushed closed/sealed. Also, the closed doors were at different heights. Chris went thru all the adjustments, & still differing heights. He then attempted to call manufacturer, & after being on hold for nearly an hour went to his vehicle & found something to use as a shim under the left door hinge to raise it up. Still not entirely the same, but close.
The remaining issue was the right door. It still did not ‘soft-close’. Chris said that it needed weight in the door, & some time to loosen the spring before it would start to operate properly. As Chris was wrapping up, I tried a few times to see how hard I had to swing the door to see if it would close. On the 3rd or 4th attempt I gave it quite a shove, (quite harder than you’d want to have to do regularly) & it closed.
At that point, the door made a “pop” kinda sound, but afterward, the door would “close” with a lighter touch. However, if you didn’t give it enough of a push, it wasn’t sealing properly.
We have loaded it with our food, & have noticed on a few occasions that the left door will exhaust enough air to push the right door enough to break the seal. Something we’re gonna have to keep an eye on .
These issues do not strike me as the typical type that your techs encounter. It’s difficult for someone to figure out what’s wrong on-the-fly when they haven’t encountered it because they have no knowledge-base to draw from. I recognize that this call came from the manufacturer as you are a registered service provider for them - but it seems to me that this requires someone that has had experience dealing with the physical setup of these appliances.
I also have to say that having no better access for a service tech calling into the manufacturer’s tech support & being on hold for nearly an hour is a poor practice.
In the end, I think Chris did as much as he could. However, I’m not yet convinced that the doors are operating as they should. We were told to give it some time … the question is, how much time? In all honesty, it just feels like “the can was kicked down the road.” …
we’ll see.

Answers to your online scheduling questions:
Do you need all this information? Yes, it helps our technicians prepare for a great service experience.
How do I know the scheduler worked?This form connects straight into our system.Based on your preferred method of contact, you will receive a confirmation of the date and a 2-3 hour time window. We will contact you again 30 minutes prior with a more precise arrival time. You can follow these links to check the job status or track your technician the day of the repair.
Can I get a quote first? Our $149 service fee (for most areas & appliances) covers the in-home diagnosis of your appliance by one of our expert technicians. They will provide a complete estimate before any work is done. We collect at the time of service by credit card (with a 3% convenience charge), check (processed electronically), or cash (our techs don’t carry change).
You must have a smartphone with a camera, although no special software is required.
The focus of this appointment is a diagnosis, not repair. If it’s simple and we can repair it by instructing you, fantastic! But the primary intent is to give you an idea of the failure, and whether it makes sense to pursue repair options.
Since the focus is the diagnosis of the product and we want to keep you safe, no tools or disassembly are allowed during this appointment.
We can only inspect and make recommendations for one appliance per appointment, in order to make sure we’re on time for other customers’ appointments.
If we can provide a likely diagnosis, we are happy to provide a repair estimate, or even quote parts that are needed for the repair (which you can purchase from our parts store, either for local pickup or flat rate shipping).
Since we aren’t there, we can’t guarantee the diagnosis. We’ll do our best, but the most accurate diagnosis is in person, in front of the machine.
If you decide to have us out after the virtual appointment (and you’re located within our service areas) we will happily apply this virtual diagnostic fee toward an in-home visit.
