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

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 making maybe one batch of ice over night. Checked error codes when I arrived and there were none. Pulled ice maker and there was no water/ice inside it. Reinstalled it and cycled it and it completed cycle and filled. Unit is acting like it thinks the bucket it full when it isnt. The ir emitter in the auger is working. Installed new icemaker and tested ice level sensor in diagnostics and it is detecting it empty when not tripped and when blocking ir receiver it shows it as full like it should. The air duct was beginning to have ice building up in it again as well and on the bottom of the ice room infront of the auger. Inspected fill tube and it is maybe a little far forward potentially causing splashing. Adjusted the fill tube alignment as well. Verified no ice room air leaks and the drain line for the ice room in the rear is clear and properly attached. Everything else has been done and is proper. ; dspstn on spec-tagged invntry: 1 DA97-18859A ICE MAKER

Great service all around. I submitted the web portal request on Sunday evening, had a call Monday morning and an appointment Tuesday during my preferred time. Communication was great throughout, and Mike was nice, professional, respectful and extremely knowledgeable. He diagnosed a very strange issue with the wiring in my fridge and fixed it with just the trip charge. I was very satisfied throughout and would highly recommend.

Ky was great, informative and professional. My disappointment is with Samsung. I called them about my defective ice maker. No empathy. Just kept repeating that is wasn’t under warranty.
