Frequently Asked Questions

The most common causes are dirty condenser coils, a failed evaporator fan motor, or a bad compressor start relay. Dust-clogged coils are the number one reason — the compressor runs but can't release heat efficiently. Our $59 diagnostic identifies the exact cause, and the fee is waived if you go ahead with the repair.

A closed refrigerator typically holds safe temperatures for about four hours. If the fridge has been warm for longer than that, perishable items like dairy, meat, and leftovers should be discarded. Call us for same-day service to minimize food loss — we carry the most common cooling-system parts on our trucks.

It depends on the failure. A $150 relay or fan motor replacement is almost always worth it, even on a 15-year-old fridge. A compressor replacement on an older unit gets closer to the cost of a new fridge, and we'll be upfront about that. Our tech gives you the diagnosis and cost before any work starts, so you can make the call.
