Common Refrigerator Problems
Fridge repairs usually run $250-$650 after the $80 diagnostic, which is credited toward the repair if you go ahead. We work on every type: French door, side-by-side, built-in, and counter-depth. Most problems (a bad thermostat, a dead compressor, a broken ice maker, a worn door seal) we can pin down in 15 to 30 minutes.
We carry the common parts, so most repairs finish on the first visit. For Sub-Zero, Viking and Thermador, specialty parts usually arrive the next business day. You get a written estimate before we touch anything, and a 180-day warranty on parts and labor.
We handle all major brands - Sub-Zero, Viking, Samsung, LG, Whirlpool, GE, Bosch and more - including dedicated Thermador refrigerator repair.

Humming, clicking, buzzing, or rattling sounds from the compressor or fans.

Not freezing, frost buildup, inconsistent temperature.

Refrigerator Repair vs. Replacement - How to Decide
Not every breakdown means you need a new refrigerator. Use this guide to make a cost-effective decision.
Most components are still within their expected lifespan - repair is almost always the better investment.
If the repair bill stays under half the cost of a comparable new unit, repairing makes financial sense.
Compressor replacement runs from $800. On an aging unit, that money is better put toward a newer, more efficient model.
Dents, scratches, or a cracked handle don't affect performance. Keep the fridge and fix what matters.
Our honest policy: If our diagnostic shows the repair isn't economically justified - we'll tell you before any work begins. No pressure, no hidden charges beyond the $80 diagnostic fee.
How We Diagnose and Fix Refrigerators
We test every suspect part
Our technician checks the thermostat, compressor, evaporator fan, condenser coils, defrost system, and door seals with a multimeter and temperature probe. We keep testing until we find the part that failed, so the same problem does not come back.
Written quote before any work
Once we identify the problem, we write up the estimate on the spot. We keep common parts (thermostats, relays, fan motors, gaskets) in stock for same-visit repair. Specialty parts for Sub-Zero, Viking, or Thermador arrive the next business day in most cases.
Fix, verify, back it for 180 days
We complete the repair, then run the refrigerator through a full test cycle: temperature in both the fridge and freezer compartments, airflow, and compressor cycling. Our 180-day warranty covers the work.
