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

If you notice any of these issues, don’t hesitate to reach out to us for advice. Hometown Hero Appliance Repair has the tools and expertise to evaluate, diagnose and fix any issue with your refrigerator, so don’t hesitate to reach out. We’ll give you a quote for repairs, and let you know whether it makes more sense to repair or replace.

Factory Authorizations for Repairs Under Warranty

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.

"Unit getting a 40 3 40 excessive compressor run time zone 3 (freezer). Found frost build up,on the rear of the freezer. Removed evaporator cover and found top half of the evap frozen up and bottom half clear. Put unit into manual defrost and the trough heater comes on but the defrost heater is not. Heater has 23ohms resistance and bi metal has good continuity. When manually activating the defrost relay however the heater does come on. Called techline and they recommended updating the software first if there was one. There is new software for this unit so I updated the software and defrosted the evaporator. Now in manual defrost the heater is coming on. Allow 24 hours for temps to return to normal.

Our icemaker had all sorts of issues and Michael was determined to make it work and he made it happen. He showed up on time, respected our home, cleaned up before he left.
