Common refrigerator problems we fix

• Not cooling, but the light is on and it is running. Usually a failed evaporator fan, a frost-clogged coil, a bad start relay, or a sealed-system issue. Diagnosis tells you which, and the price gap between them is large. Full cost breakdown by likely cause on the fridge not cooling cost page.
• Freezer works, fridge is warm. Classic sign of a defrost problem or a blocked air path between compartments, not a dead compressor. Often an affordable fix.
• Freezing everything, even on the lowest setting. A stuck thermostat or a failed temperature control board.
• Water pooling inside or under the unit. A clogged or frozen defrost drain, or a cracked drain pan. Common and cheap to clear.
• Loud buzzing, clicking, or humming. The condenser fan, the compressor start relay, or the compressor itself. The clicking-then-silence pattern usually means a relay, which is a far smaller bill than a compressor.
• Ice maker not making ice or leaking. A water inlet valve, a frozen fill tube, or the ice-maker module.
• Fridge running constantly and warm. Dirty condenser coils, a door seal not sealing, or a refrigerant issue.

Repair or replace a refrigerator?

Refrigerators last about 10 to 13 years. Inside that window, most failures (fans, relays, defrost parts, valves) are worth repairing, often for a fraction of a new unit. Past 13 years, or when the diagnosis is a failed sealed system or compressor running $400 to $600 or more, replacement usually wins, especially given the efficiency gain of a new unit. We give you that answer before you spend on parts, because we repair fridges, we do not sell them.

Garage and basement freezers in Vaughan

Plenty of Vaughan homes keep a chest or upright freezer in the garage or an unheated basement, and two seasonal things go wrong. In a January cold snap an unheated garage can drop below the freezer's rated operating range, the thermostat stops cycling the compressor, and the freezer actually warms up. In a humid GTA summer, a hot uninsulated garage makes it run non-stop. If your garage freezer only struggles at the temperature extremes, it may be the location fighting the appliance rather than a broken part, and we will tell you that instead of selling you a repair you do not need.

Do this before you call

• Confirm it has power and the outlet works (test with something else).
• Pull it out and check whether the condenser coils at the back or bottom are packed with dust and pet hair. Cleaning them sometimes fixes a warm, constantly-running fridge on its own.
• Check the door seal closes fully and is not torn.
• Note the symptom precisely: warm but running, silent, clicking, icing up, leaking. It speeds the diagnosis and tightens the quote.
