Cooling problems, ice maker issues, leaks and energy efficiency tips for fridges of all brands.
Both brands dominate appliance store floors in Northern Virginia. Here's what a technician who fixes both every week actually thinks about their reliability.
Your fridge is probably the second-biggest power hog in your home. Small habits can cut its energy use by 20 percent or more — here's how.
From dirty condenser coils to a broken compressor — here's what an experienced technician checks, in order, when a refrigerator stops cooling.
Strange noises, warm spots, or rising energy bills? Learn the warning signs that mean it's time to call a pro before a small issue turns into a full breakdown.
A refrigerator that stops cooling is one of the most urgent appliance failures a household can face — and one of the most common reasons Northern Virginia homeowners call us. The articles in this section walk through the problems we see most often, from a fridge that won't get cold and an ice maker that has stopped producing, to water pooling under the unit, frost building up in the freezer, and a compressor that runs without ever shutting off.
Many refrigerator issues have simple causes you can check yourself: dirty condenser coils, a blocked vent between the freezer and fresh-food compartment, worn door gaskets, or a temperature setting that drifted too low. Our guides explain how to spot these early and when a quick fix will save you a service call. They also cover the warning signs that point to a failing part — a bad evaporator fan, a faulty defrost heater, or a compressor relay — where professional repair is the safer, more cost-effective choice.
