What are the most common repairs on a refrigerator?

The most common refrigerator repairs include water leaking, broken water dispensers, and poor temperature control. All of these issues can be resolved by an appliance repair professional, saving you the hassle and expense of a new refrigerator.

Why is my refrigerator not cooling properly?

If your refrigerator isn’t cooling, it could be due to blocked vents, faulty temperature controls, or problems with the compressor or fan. A professional refrigerator repair can pinpoint the issue and restore proper cooling.

Why is my refrigerator leaking water?

If your refrigerator is leaking, the problem could be a cracked drain pan, a clogged defrost drain, or a worn water valve. A professional refrigerator service can identify the source and prevent further damage.

Why isn’t my ice maker working?

When the ice maker in your freezer stops working, it’s often due to a faulty water inlet valve, a broken door switch, or a clogged supply line. A refrigerator repair professional can test each component and replace what’s necessary.

Why is my refrigerator making noise?

If your refrigerator is making unusual noises, the cause could be a faulty evaporator fan motor, a worn-out compressor, or dirty condenser coils. A professional refrigerator repair can diagnose the cause and fix the noise issue.

Is it better to repair or replace a refrigerator?

In most cases, refrigerator repair is more cost-effective if the unit is under 10–12 years old and the problem is isolated to a single component. Refrigerators are built to last anywhere from 10 to 18 years with proper care, so the odds you need a replacement are generally low. Professional repairs can extend your fridge’s life by several years with less expense than a full replacement.

Can I repair my refrigerator myself?

No. DIY refrigerator repair is not recommended due to the risk of electrical shock, chemical exposure, or damaging the appliance further. A trained service professional can handle repairs safely and correctly.
