Refrigerator Repair in Salt Lake City

Not cooling, or cooling unevenly. The most common call we take. Usually a failed defrost system, a bad start relay, a condenser fan that's stopped, or a sealed-system fault. The fix ranges from a straightforward part swap to a larger job, and we'll tell you which before you commit.

Freezer works, fridge doesn't. Almost always airflow. A blocked damper, a failed evaporator fan, or frost built up where cold air should be moving between compartments.

Leaking water. Usually a clogged defrost drain or a cracked water line. Easy to miss, and left alone it warps flooring and rots cabinet toe kicks.

Ice maker stopped. Water inlet valves, the ice maker module itself, or a frozen fill tube. Common on Samsung and LG units in particular.

Running constantly. Door seals that no longer seal, dirty condenser coils, or a thermostat reading wrong. Often the cheapest repair on this list and the one that quietly costs the most in power.

Loud or unusual noise. Condenser or evaporator fan motors, or in some cases the compressor itself.

LG's linear compressors have a well-documented failure history. If your LG refrigerator has stopped cooling entirely and you're hearing nothing from the compressor, this is the likely cause.

Many of these are still covered by LG's extended parts warranty, which means you may only pay labor. We do this repair regularly and can tell you where you stand before you order anything.

Pull the fridge out and look at the condenser coils underneath or behind. If they're packed with dust and pet hair, vacuum them. A clogged coil makes the compressor work harder and is one of the most common causes of poor cooling — and it's free to fix yourself.

Also check the door seals. Close the door on a dollar bill. If it slides out easily, the seal isn't holding and you're losing cold air constantly.

An honest answer matters more here than a sale. If your refrigerator is under ten years old and the fault is a fan, valve, thermostat or control board, repair is almost always the better call. If it's older and the sealed system has failed, we'll say so plainly.
