Refrigerator repair: common questions
Before you book refrigerator repair, here's how it works in brief. Keep the doors shut in the meantime so the cold you still have lasts.
Ready to get it looked at?
If your refrigerator is losing its cold, book soon; the technician comes to your home anywhere in our service area and quotes before any work.
Only after the diagnosis. The technician checks both fans, the defrost heater and its control, and the thermistors, tells you which one failed and what the refrigerator repair costs, and nothing starts until you approve.
For refrigerators: Samsung, LG, Whirlpool, GE Appliances, Maytag, Bosch, KitchenAid and Frigidaire, plus the other 29 makers listed on this page.
That depends on the refrigerator's age, its condition and what failed. After the diagnosis you'll get a frank view if spending on it doesn't add up.
Go to the refrigerator's manufacturer while its coverage lasts; that repair should cost you nothing through them. We're independent of every brand, so covered work isn't ours to take.
Usually on the sticker high on an inner wall of the fresh-food compartment. Send it with the brand and a sentence on what the refrigerator is doing. Keep the doors shut in the meantime so the cold you still have lasts.
Refrigerator repair, in more detail
This is our refrigerator repair page for Charlotte and Mecklenburg County. A refrigerator that's running warm puts food at risk, and the fix ranges from a dusty coil to a sealed-system repair. Finding out which is the first job.
Our order of checks on a refrigerator is coils and fans first, defrost parts second, compressor and refrigerant last; a frosted-over evaporator and a failing compressor both leave the cabinet warm, but the bills are far apart. That sequence finds the actual fault without charging you for parts that weren't broken.
What people get wrong about refrigerators
With refrigerators, a common misreading is a fresh-food section that runs warm while the freezer seems fine, which looks like a dying compressor but far more often means frost has blocked the air passage between the two sections. Misjudge it and you buy the wrong part, which on a refrigerator is often the costliest one inside.
Your refrigerator and the Charlotte climate
Locally, the factor that matters is the spare refrigerator out in the garage, facing summer heat and winter freezes beyond the room range its manual lists, and ice-maker lines through exterior walls or crawl spaces that can freeze.
Summer is the hard season for a refrigerator here. A warm, humid room makes the condenser shed more heat, a dusty coil makes that harder, and a gasket that has stopped sealing lets damp air in, which shows up as sweating and extra frost. Units in garages also face winter cold snaps.
Before you call
Make sure packed food isn't blocking the vents inside either compartment, and press the door switch to hear whether the fan inside the freezer runs. With the refrigerator unplugged, look behind the kick plate: a coil matted with dust and pet hair is worth vacuuming before anything else.
Refrigerator brands we work on
We list 37 brands for refrigerator repair; you'll find them all linked on this page. On refrigerators the platform question matters most for control boards and ice-and-water dispensers, which rarely cross between families even when compressors and fans do.
Kenmore and other store brands were built by several manufacturers, so the model number, not the badge, tells us which parts fit.
What to expect
We test the refrigerator where it is installed, walk you through the failure and the fix, and begin only after you agree to the price.
Because we're independent rather than an authorized service center, a refrigerator still covered by the maker's warranty belongs with the manufacturer. Otherwise, parts are matched to your model number and any equivalent part is pointed out first.
