Common refrigerator problems we fix today
Refrigerator not cooling
The most urgent call we get. Typical causes: condenser coils choked with dust (very common in older Boston housing with radiator heat), a failed evaporator or condenser fan motor, a bad start relay, or a failing compressor. We test in this order, show you the failed part, and quote flat. Most non compressor fixes are done that same visit.
Fridge is cold but freezer isn't (or the reverse)
Usually a defrost system failure or a blocked air damper, ice builds up where you can't see it and blocks the airflow between compartments. A defrost heater, thermostat or control board fix, done in one visit.
Ice maker not working
Frozen fill tubes, failed water inlet valves and worn ice maker modules. If your water dispenser also stopped, the inlet valve is the prime suspect. We carry universal modules and valves for the major brands.
Water leaking under the refrigerator
Nine out of ten leaks are a clogged defrost drain or a cracked drain pan; the tenth is the water line to the ice maker. Cheap fix if caught early, floor damage in a triple decker if ignored.
Loud buzzing, clicking or rattling
Clicking every few minutes usually means a failing start relay, a $150 range fix that saves the compressor if you act fast. Call the day you hear it.

Frequently asked questions
How fast can you fix a refrigerator that stopped cooling?
Call before noon and in most of Greater Boston we're there the same day. Most cooling failures, fans, relays, thermostats, coils, are repaired in that first visit from parts on the van.
How much does refrigerator repair cost in Boston?
The diagnostic is $99 and it's waived when you approve the repair. Typical refrigerator repairs run $150 to $350; sealed system work (compressor, refrigerant leak) runs higher and we quote it flat before touching anything.
Should I repair or replace my refrigerator?
Honest rule: if the fridge is under 10 years old and the repair is under half the price of a comparable new unit, repair wins. If your compressor died on a 15 year old builder grade unit, we'll tell you to replace it, we don't sell repairs that don't make sense.
Do you repair Sub-Zero and other built in refrigerators?
Yes, Sub-Zero, Thermador, Miele, Bosch and other premium built ins, common across Weston, Newton and Brookline. We're EPA 608 certified for refrigerant handling on sealed system work.
