Milk going sour by Tuesday, a crust of ice on the freezer floor or a hum that never lets up? A local technician stops by, pins down the failing component and brings your fridge back to a steady chill.
Around town, nearly every fridge call we take lands in one of these six notes. Each one lists the parts we look at before anything else.
The freezer is still making cold air, but a stalled fan or an iced-up duct stops it from reaching the shelves above.
Defrost has quietly stopped doing its job, so ice keeps growing over the coil and chokes the airflow.
A frozen drain line is sending meltwater onto the floor of the fridge, or a supply fitting has started to seep.
The mould is getting short on water, usually from a fill valve losing pressure, a filter clogged with sediment or an ice module at the end of its life.
A fan blade nicking ice, a condenser motor wearing thin or a start relay that keeps cycling the compressor.
Coils caked in dust or a gasket that has gone stiff and flat keep the system running around the clock.
Fridge styles we service
From the brand that came with the house to the one you picked out last spring, these names show up on our work orders every week.
When a fridge flashes a code, it is pointing at the part that needs attention. Match yours on the labels below before you book.
Freezer fan error
The freezer fan is not reporting that it spins, often because it has frozen in place.
Call a technicianCommunication fault
Usually shows up after a power blip at start-up. Shut the breaker for 60 seconds before restoring power.
Try this firstIce pipe heater error
The small heater keeping the ice maker's water line from freezing has failed.
Call a technicianIce room fan error
The small fan that cools the ice compartment has stopped.
Call a technicianWater flow sensor
Typically a closed tap or a pinched water line. Open the supply fully, then unplug for a minute and reconnect.
Try this firstDefrost failure
During defrost the coil never warmed up, so the evaporator is probably iced over.
Call a technicianCondenser fan fault
The fan beside the compressor is blocked or not turning, which makes the system work harder.
Call a technicianFridge sensor fault
The sensor in the upper fresh food section has failed and cooling suffers.

Everything in the top half was lukewarm while the freezer felt fine. He found an iced-over fan, cleared it and replaced the part that let it happen. Two weeks later the milk is still cold and so is the butter.
There was a puddle under our crisper every single morning. A frozen drain line, it turned out. He thawed it, flushed it and told me what to watch for in the winter.
Our ice maker had not made a cube since spring. New fill valve, fresh filter and by dinner the bin was filling up again. Quick, polite and he left the kitchen spotless.
Some fridge troubles come down to a setting or a blocked vent you can rule out in a couple of minutes.
