LG — Not Cooling
When an LG refrigerator stops cooling, the most common cause is dirty condenser coils. These coils release heat, and when they're coated in dust and pet hair, the fridge can't cool properly. A good cleaning fixes this about 60% of the time — and it's completely free.
Samsung — Ice Maker Not Working
Samsung refrigerator ice makers are notoriously troublesome. The most common problem is ice buildup (freezing over) around the ice maker — Samsung even acknowledged this issue. A manual defrost often fixes it. If not, the water inlet valve or the ice maker unit itself may need replacing.
Whirlpool — Not Cooling but Freezer Works
When the freezer is cold but the fridge section is warm, it usually means cold air is not getting from the freezer to the fridge. The most common causes are a frosted-over evaporator coil (blocking airflow), a broken evaporator fan, or a stuck air damper. Most people can diagnose and fix this themselves.
GE — Refrigerator Making Noise
A noisy GE refrigerator is usually one of a few things: the condenser fan is hitting something, the evaporator fan is going bad, or the fridge is not sitting level. Most of these are quick to identify and fix. Let us figure out where the noise is coming from.
Frigidaire — Refrigerator Not Cooling
When your Frigidaire refrigerator stops cooling altogether (both fridge and freezer are warm), the most common causes are dirty condenser coils, a failed condenser fan, or a bad start relay. Dirty coils are the easiest fix — just vacuuming them can get your fridge cold again. Let us start there.
LG — Water Dispenser Not Working
When the water dispenser on your LG fridge stops working, the most common cause is a clogged or expired water filter, a frozen water line, or the water supply being turned off. These are all easy things to check. Most of the time, replacing the water filter fixes it right away.
