Residential Refrigerator Repair in Manatee County

Common Fridge Problems

A refrigerator is a complex appliance that endures tremendous wear and tear over the years to keep your food fresh. No other kitchen appliance must operate around the clock. As a result, a refrigerator is likely to break down sooner or later.

Common refrigerator issues include:

  • Cooling/Defrosting Problems
  • Dirty Condenser Coils
  • Sparking From Sockets
  • Blocked Drains
  • Door Latch Issues
  • Ice Machine or Water Dispenser Problems

Refrigerator issues often revolve around electrical defects, such as faulty start capacitors, motors, miniature circuit breakers (MCB), compressors, and thermostats.

After an initial inspection, we will offer an upfront, no-hassle price estimate. We will then proceed with the necessary repairs or replacements – charging by the job and not the hour.

Can You Transport a Refrigerator on Its Side?

Refrigerators do best when they’re moved in an upright position. If you put a fridge on its side there can be damage done to the compressor. The oil inside the compressor is kept in place thanks to gravity and if the fridge is moved on its side, the oil can flow throughout the system into the cooling lines. Older model refrigerators are more susceptible to this sort of damage due to the oil likely having sludge in it.

Our knowledgeable appliance specialists apply years of training, field experience, and cutting-edge technologies to troubleshoot and repair fridges quickly. We do our best to work fast and effectively to restore refrigerators before perishable food items rot and spoil. There’s no better choice when it comes to receiving premier workmanship backed by professionalism and the urgency you deserve!

Frequently Asked Questions About Refrigerator Repair

Why is my refrigerator not cooling properly?

Answer: There can be several reasons why your refrigerator isn't cooling properly. It could be a malfunctioning thermostat, dirty condenser coils, a faulty compressor, or a problem with the evaporator fan. It's best to call a professional to diagnose the problem since it can be dangerous to work with the electrical components of your fridge yourself.

How long will it take to repair my refrigerator?

Answer: The length of time it takes to repair your refrigerator depends on the nature of the problem. Some repairs may only take a few hours, while others may take a few days. It's important to work with a reputable repair company that can give you an accurate estimate of how long the job will take.

Should I repair or replace my refrigerator?

Answer: This is a common question we get, and the answer is, it depends. If your refrigerator is less than ten years old and the repair is relatively minor, it's usually a good idea to have it repaired. However, if your fridge is more than ten years old, and the repair is costly, it's often better to invest in a new appliance as it will be more energy-efficient.

Is it safe to repair my refrigerator myself, or should I hire a professional?

Answer: It's never recommended to repair a refrigerator yourself. Refrigerators run on electricity and have dangerous chemicals such as Freon, which can cause injury or damage if not handled properly. Additionally, if you try to repair your fridge without the proper knowledge or experience, you may cause further damage, making the repair more expensive.
