Fridge problems we fix in Aylmer

Tell us what you're seeing when you call. Most fridge problems fall into one of these six, and each one points us to a short list of likely causes.

Fridge is warm but the freezer still works

Cold air comes from the freezer, so when the freezer is fine and the fridge isn't, the airflow between them has usually stopped. We check for a frozen-over evaporator, a failed fan and a stuck damper.

Nothing is cold at all

If the light is on but the whole unit is warm, we test the compressor start components, the condenser fan and the control board. Dusty coils under the fridge can also push it past its limit on a hot day.

Frost building up in the freezer

A thick layer of frost on the back wall means the automatic defrost isn't doing its job. We test the heater, the sensor and the timer or control, and check the door seal for gaps.

Water inside or on the floor

Water under the crisper drawers usually comes from a blocked defrost drain. A puddle on the floor can be the drain pan, the water line or the inlet valve. We find the source before replacing anything.

Ice maker or water dispenser stopped

A frozen fill tube, a failing inlet valve or an old filter can each stop the ice. We work out which one it is and tell you if the filter is simply due for a change.

Garage fridge quit when winter came

Many fridges aren't built for an unheated garage in an Outaouais January. The cold fools the thermostat and the freezer starts to thaw. We'll tell you honestly whether a repair or a garage kit makes more sense.

Refrigerator Problems We Fix

Call Us the Moment It Feels Warm

From cooling loss to mysterious puddles, we quickly pinpoint faulty mechanical, electrical, and electronic parts to restore safe temperatures.

Fridge Not Cooling but Freezer Works

Often caused by a defective defrost system causing frosted coils, a failing evaporator fan motor, or a stuck air damper control restricting airflow between compartments. We test airflow channels and sensor resistance to resolve it quickly.

Nothing Is Cold

When both compartments warm up, the culprit is usually a burnt compressor start relay, a seized condenser fan motor, or a failed main electronic control board. Heavy dust accumulation on coils can also trigger safety shut-offs.

Frost Building Up in the Freezer

Snow-like frost accumulation indicates warm moist air entering via a cracked door gasket, or an interrupted auto-defrost cycle due to a bad defrost heater, bi-metal thermostat, or defrost control board.

Water Leaking Inside or on Floor

Puddles under the crisper drawers usually point to a blocked or frozen defrost drain line. Leaks behind or underneath often originate from a cracked water supply tube or a weeping dual water inlet valve.

Ice Maker or Dispenser Not Working

Hollow cubes, jammed ejector arms, or zero water output can result from frozen water fill tubes, defective solenoid inlet valves, clogged water filter housings, or failed modular ice maker assemblies.

Strange Noises: Buzzing, Clicking, Rattling

Repetitive clicking every few minutes usually signals an overloaded compressor struggling to start. Loud whirring from inside suggests fan blades hitting frost buildup, while lower rattling points to loose drain pans or condenser mounts.

Keep Your Food Safe While You Wait

Taking prompt action while our technician is in route can save hundreds of dollars in groceries:

  • Keep Doors Firmly Closed: An unopened refrigerator keeps food cold for approx 4 hours. A full closed freezer maintains safe temperatures for up to 48 hours (24h if half-full).
  • Move High-Risk Essentials: Transfer raw meats, dairy, poultry, and opened infant milk into a sealed cooler with bagged ice or freezer packs immediately.
  • Track Temperature: If interior temp exceeds 4°C (40°F) for over 2 hours, perishable items like cooked meats, soft cheeses, and cut produce are no longer food-safe.

Quick Checks Before You Call

Rule out simple environmental or configuration issues with these five-minute tests:

  • Thermostat & Controls: Verify settings weren't bumped to warmer levels. Target: 3°C (37°F) for fridge, -18°C (0°F) for freezer.
  • Clear Internal Air Vents: Ensure bulky containers or frozen boxes aren't blocking airflow vents at the back interior walls.
  • Paper Dollar Test: Close the door on a dollar bill. If it pulls out with zero resistance, the door gasket is leaking warm ambient air.
  • Recent Outage: After power cuts or door left ajar, allow up to 4-6 hours for standard compressors to stabilize temps before panicking.

Fridge Repair FAQ

Frequently asked questions about refrigerator repairs and pricing.

Is it worth fixing a 10-year-old refrigerator?

In most cases, common issues like a failed start relay, evaporator fan, defrost heater, or door gasket cost a fraction of buying new and can give your unit 4–7 more years of life. However, if major components like the sealed system compressor have failed on an older entry-level unit, our technician will give you honest, no-pressure advice on whether replacement is more economical.

Do you handle sealed system and freon / refrigerant issues?

We perform comprehensive diagnostics on all electrical, electronic, and airflow components. If an internal refrigerant leak or compressor failure in the sealed system is detected, we diagnose it thoroughly, explain the cost realities honestly, and discuss viable next steps so you never pay for unnecessary parts.

How fast can a technician arrive in Bedford?

Because our technicians operate locally in Bedford and neighboring HRM communities, same-day dispatch is typically available within 2 to 4 hours of your call. We prioritize non-cooling refrigerators to save your food.

How does the diagnostic visit fee work?

Our standard visit fee covers a complete in-home system diagnostic by a certified technician. When you approve our upfront quote and proceed with the repair during that visit, this diagnostic fee is fully waived toward your repair total.
