The FDA recommends keeping your refrigerator at 40°F or below to prevent bacterial growth — a unit running even 5°F too warm doubles the rate of food spoilage. Repairing a refrigerator is often significantly more cost-effective than replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions — Refrigerator Repair Chicago

Why is my refrigerator running but not cooling?

The most common causes are dirty condenser coils, a failed evaporator fan, a faulty thermostat, or a worn door seal. We diagnose the exact cause on the first visit.

Do you repair Samsung and LG refrigerators in Chicago?

Yes. We repair Samsung, LG, Whirlpool, GE, Maytag, Frigidaire, Kenmore, KitchenAid, and other major brands.

How long does refrigerator repair take?

Most refrigerator repairs take 1–2 hours. If a part needs to be ordered, we'll schedule a follow-up as quickly as possible to minimize food loss.

Is it worth repairing an old refrigerator?

Common Questions

FAQ — Refrigerator Repair in Chicago

The most common causes are dirty condenser coils (vacuum the coils on the back or bottom — this alone fixes many cooling issues), a failed evaporator fan motor, a bad condenser fan, or a faulty thermostat. Also check that nothing is blocking the internal air vents. If basic checks don't help, call us — it may be a failing compressor or sealed system issue.
Most repairs are completed in 1–2 hours. Part availability sometimes requires a follow-up visit for less common models, but we stock the most common parts for all major brands. We tell you the timeline upfront.
Use the 50% rule: if the repair costs more than 50% of the price of a comparable new unit, replacement makes more sense. For refrigerators under 8 years old, repair is almost always the right call. For units over 15 years old needing a compressor or sealed system repair, we'll give you an honest recommendation.
The FDA recommends 40°F (4°C) or below for the refrigerator compartment, and 0°F (-18°C) for the freezer. Running even a few degrees too warm doubles the rate of bacterial growth in food. Use a refrigerator thermometer to verify — built-in dials are often inaccurate.
