Common Refrigerator Problems We Repair
These are the issues we see most often on refrigerator calls across Austin. If your problem matches one below, it's a strong sign of what's actually wrong.
Refrigerator Not Cooling
The most common call we get. It's often a dirty condenser coil, a failing thermostat, or a start relay that's gone bad on the compressor.
Compressor Running Constantly
If your fridge's motor never seems to shut off, either the thermostat is telling it to run too long, or the compressor itself is struggling to keep up.
Water Pooling Under the Fridge
Usually a worn door seal letting warm, humid air in, or a clogged defrost drain line sending water to the floor instead of the drain pan.
Loud Buzzing or Clicking Noise
A struggling compressor, a fan blade hitting ice buildup, or a failing start relay all tend to make themselves known through noise before they fail completely.
Ice Maker Not Working
No ice, small or hollow cubes, or an ice maker that leaks into the freezer — these can be mechanical, electrical, or a simple water line blockage.
Rising Electric Bills
An older refrigerator, or one with a failing seal or dirty coils, works much harder than it should — and that shows up on your next bill.
Signs It's Time to Call for Repair
Catching a problem early almost always means a smaller repair bill. Here's what to watch for.

Questions Austin Homeowners Ask Us
A buzzing or humming noise is almost always the compressor working harder than it should, often because the start relay is failing or the condenser coils are too dusty to release heat properly. It's worth having a technician check it before the compressor fails completely, since that's the most expensive part to replace.
Usually, yes, if the repair cost is under half the price of a new comparable unit. A thermostat, seal, or ice maker repair is almost always worth it. A major compressor failure on a 12+ year old unit is the one case where replacement often makes more financial sense, and we'll tell you honestly which situation you're in.
Most repairs fall between $100 and $350, depending on the part. A full compressor replacement can run $400 to $1,000 or more. We always confirm the exact price after diagnosing the problem in person, before any work begins.
Replacing a door seal (also called a gasket) is one of the more DIY-friendly refrigerator repairs if you order the exact part number for your model. That said, getting the wrong size or missing a hidden clip is common, so many homeowners prefer to have it done right the first time.
Most repairs, including thermostat, seal, and ice maker issues, are completed in one visit lasting one to two hours. If a specific part needs to be ordered for your model, we'll schedule a quick follow-up as soon as it arrives.
