Common Refrigerator Problems that Require Repair

Sure, some issues are easy to spot, like a digital readout of 80°F inside your refrigerator or water leaking onto the floor, but some issues are more subtle. Because it never hurts to have some certainty—not only that the issue should be repaired, but that we can perform those repairs—check out the most common issues we get called out for below:

Water

  • There is frost or ice buildup in the freezer, particularly on the back wall
  • There is standing water at the bottom of the refrigerator compartment
  • There are puddles at the base of the refrigerator

Cooling

  • Food in the refrigerator is freezing or icing over
  • Food in the refrigerator is warm
  • Either too little or too much ice is being produced
  • The digital temperature readout is high or doesn’t seem to match the temperature you feel inside the compartment
  • The sides of the refrigerator seem to be unusually hot
  • Food seems to be spoiling faster than usual

Mechanical / Electrical

  • The refrigerator is running more often than usual and/or is making a lot of noise
  • Doors no longer have a tight seal
  • Drawers, shelves, lights, etc. are broken
  • Refrigerator is making unusual noises

To receive compensation for repairs made while your refrigerator is under warranty, most manufacturers require that you use a service company they have authorized. Our authorizations tell you two things: (1) we are experts on servicing that brand, and (2) the manufacturer knows this and trusts us with their refrigerators. We are proudly authorized to provide:

We are also trained experts at repairing refrigerators by Jenn Air, KitchenAid, Maytag, Whirlpool, Amana, Danby, Fisher and Paykel, Roper and Viking. Really, our technicians have such a deep understanding of the technology, there is no brand or model of refrigerator they can’t diagnose and fix.

This job turned out to be a little enigmatic! My ice maker had quit working, due to a leak and icing up inside the mechanism. Anthony got it defrosted and, before charging me for an expensive repair bill, he suggested I try contacting the manufacturer to see if they might cover it under an extended warranty, even though I was doubtful because the refrigerator is 7+ years old. He left for another job, I called the manufacturer and confirmed they couldn't help me, but then I noticed my refrigerator was completely not running at all! I thought maybe Anthony had forgotten to turn something back on, but couldn't figure it out, so I called Hometown Heroes back and they connected me with Anthony. He suggested I check my electrical panel for a tripped breaker and, sure enough, there was one, but when I tried to reset it, it kept tripping. By this time it was nearing 5:00 p.m. on a Friday afternoon, but Anthony came BACK to my house to figure out what went wrong! He did a bunch of trouble- shooting and eventually figured out the problem. He ended up replacing my ice maker at my request and my fridge and ice maker are again working beautifully. He didn't leave my house until almost 7 p.m. on a Friday night, but remained completely cordial, patient and kind (even when it required having to re-do/ re-submit paperwork!) My problem was an unusual one, but Anthony had a good understanding of what might be the cause and was able to fix it "after hours". I was SO appreciative of his knowledge, as well as his willingness to go above and beyond to be an excellent repairman!! Thank you, Anthony!
