Refrigerator Repair — Book a Visit Today
A fridge quits on its own schedule, usually the night before company comes. Most calls trace back to a few parts: a failed compressor start relay, an evaporator fan seized with frost, a defrost heater or thermostat that stopped cycling, a clogged drain line, or a control board that took a hit during one of our storm-season surges. A visit starts with listening and reading temperatures, then testing the sealed system, fans, and controls until the fault shows itself. We explain what we find in plain porch talk before anything gets replaced. We work on all major brands as an independent shop. Move your milk and meat to a cooler, then call us and let's get the cold back.

The refrigerator symptoms we hear most
- "Fridge is warm but the freezer's still frozen" Evaporator fan failure or frost blocking the air path between compartments.
- "Water's pooling under the crisper drawers" Plugged defrost drain or a cracked drain pan, often with ice under the panel.
- "It hums, clicks, then goes quiet again" Start relay or compressor problem, sometimes overheating from a dusty condenser.
- "Ice maker fills but never drops cubes" Bad ice maker module, frozen fill tube, or a water inlet valve losing pressure.
- "Runs nonstop and the food's still soft" Door gasket leaks, thermistor misreading, or a low refrigerant charge in the sealed system.
Safe things to check first
Worth a look before you call — sometimes it saves you the visit.
- 1Pull the fridge out a bit and vacuum the coils and condenser fan area free of clay dust and pet hair.
- 2Set a glass of water inside with a thermometer to see what the compartment is truly holding.
- 3Close a dollar bill in the door and tug it; if it slides out easy, the gasket is leaking cold.
- 4Make sure the outlet has power and the plug is seated firmly, especially after a storm knocked the lights out.
How it works
- Step 1
Tell us the symptom
Call us or fill out the form. Describe what you hear, smell, or see. Buzzing, leaking, no heat. Plain talk is fine. We ask a few questions and set a visit window.
- Step 2
We come look
A technician arrives in the window, pulls the unit out, and tests it. No guessing games. We explain what failed and why, in words that make sense on your back porch.
- Step 3
We fix it
Common parts ride with us, so many repairs finish the same visit. If a part must be ordered, we tell you plainly and schedule the return before we leave your driveway.

Refrigerator Repair — quick answers
How long can food stay safe once the fridge warms up?
Refrigerated food is generally safe about four hours if the door stays shut. A full freezer can hold roughly two days. Move milk, meat, and leftovers to a cooler with ice, and skip refreezing anything that has thawed soft.
Is a warm fridge with a cold freezer worth fixing?
Usually yes. That split almost always points to airflow, not the compressor. A stuck evaporator fan, a defrost failure packing the coil in frost, or a damper problem are all repairs done in the home in most cases.
My fridge died right after a power surge. Now what?
Storms around here take out control boards and start relays. Unplug the unit, wait a few minutes, plug it back in, and listen. If there is no hum or fan noise, the board or relay likely needs testing. Call us.
Why does ice keep building up on the back wall of my freezer?
That is the defrost system not doing its job, or warm humid air sneaking past a tired door gasket. We test the heater, thermostat, and timer or board, then check the seal and the drain path while we are in there.
Do you work on built-in and counter-depth refrigerators?
Yes. Built-ins, counter-depth, French door, side-by-side, and older top-freezers all come across our bench. We are independent and service all major brands. Tell us the brand and model when you call so we plan the right parts.
How do I know if it's the compressor or something cheaper?
Sound tells us a lot. Clicking every few minutes with no cooling often means a start relay. Steady running with poor cold points to airflow or refrigerant. We test electrically before condemning any compressor, since the small parts fail far more often.

Why homeowners call us
- Storm-season surge damageLightning and blinking power hurt control boards. An oven that lights up but won't heat, a washer that dies mid-cycle. We test boards and wiring before replacing anything, so you know what the surge actually took out.
- Clay dust and lintRed clay dust and lint choke dryer vents and condenser coils. Long dry times, hot laundry rooms, fridges running nonstop. We check airflow every visit, because a clogged vent kills a good machine slowly.
- Straight talk, no runaroundWe say what's wrong and what it takes to fix. If a machine is worn past sense, we say that too. You decide. No pressure, no jargon, no upsell dressed up as advice.
- Independent and localWe're a Nashville crew, not a call center. We repair all major brands as an independent shop. You reach real people, and the person who answers knows the roads we drive.
- All major brands, gas & electricWhirlpool, Samsung, LG, GE, Maytag, Bosch, KitchenAid and more — as an independent repair company.
- Straight answersIf it isn't worth repairing, we'll say so — often on the phone.
