Refrigerator Repair Services

If your fridge light works but it's not cooling, the most common causes are a failed compressor start relay, dirty condenser coils (reducing heat dissipation), a malfunctioning evaporator fan, or a faulty thermostat. On newer models, a failed inverter board can also prevent the compressor from running. This is an urgent issue — food can begin to spoil within 4 hours at room temperature. We offer next-day refrigerator repair in Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, and Port Moody.

Water pooling under a refrigerator is usually caused by a clogged defrost drain — a small tube at the back of the freezer compartment that can freeze over or get blocked with food debris. It can also be a cracked water supply line (if your fridge has an ice maker) or a leaking inlet valve. Our technicians clear defrost drains and inspect water lines as part of a standard service call.

Most refrigerator repairs in Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, and Port Moody cost between $275 and $450. Common fixes like a defrost drain clearing, thermostat replacement, or fan motor swap are on the lower end. Compressor or sealed-system repairs are the most expensive. We provide an upfront quote after diagnosing the problem so you can make an informed decision before authorizing any work.

Samsung refrigerator ice maker failures are one of our most common repair calls. Typical causes include a frozen water line in the door, a failed ice maker assembly, a defective water inlet valve, or a temperature sensor issue in the freezer compartment. Samsung models with the ice maker in the French door (as opposed to the freezer) are particularly prone to ice buildup around the maker. We carry Samsung-compatible parts for fast turnaround.

A brief buzzing every 30-60 minutes is normal — that's the compressor cycling on. However, constant buzzing, repeated clicking (the compressor trying and failing to start), or loud humming can indicate a failing start relay, a compressor issue, or a condenser fan obstruction. Clicking every few seconds is a particular red flag for relay failure and should be checked promptly to avoid compressor damage.

Excessive frost in the freezer is almost always a defrost system problem. Modern frost-free freezers run an automatic defrost cycle using a heater, a defrost thermostat, and a timer or control board. If any of those components fail, ice accumulates on the back wall or evaporator coils, reducing cooling efficiency and eventually blocking airflow entirely. A worn door gasket that lets warm, humid air in can also contribute to frost buildup.
