Top 10 most commons refrigerator repairs
We gathered here 10 most common problems with your refrigerator and our advice to avoid some of them. This useful information will help you to prevent breakdowns in the future.
Here's a guide on troubleshooting Sub-Zero refrigerator cooling issues:
1. Identifying Common Cooling Issues:
Sub-Zero refrigerators may encounter cooling problems due to various reasons such as:
1. Identifying Common Cooling Issues:
Sub-Zero refrigerators may encounter cooling problems due to various reasons such as:
- Blocked vents or airflow restrictions.
- Faulty temperature control settings.
- Ice buildup or frost inside the unit.
- Malfunctioning compressor or condenser.
- Start by checking the temperature settings on the control panel. Ensure they are set to the appropriate levels for the refrigerator and freezer compartments.
- Use a thermometer to verify the actual temperatures inside the refrigerator and freezer. Adjust the settings if necessary, aiming for recommended temperatures of 37°F (3°C) for the refrigerator and 0°F (-18°C) for the freezer.
- If you notice ice buildup or frost, check for any obstructions in the vents or air passages. Clear any debris or items blocking the airflow.
- Inspect the door seals for any signs of damage or wear. Replace them if necessary to ensure a proper seal and prevent warm air from entering the unit.
- If the compressor is malfunctioning, you may notice inadequate cooling or unusual noises coming from the unit.
- Check for any visible signs of damage to the compressor or the condenser coils. If damaged, they may need to be repaired or replaced by a qualified technician.
- Ensure that the refrigerator is not placed in an area with poor ventilation, as this can cause the compressor to overheat.
- Regularly clean the condenser coils to maintain efficient cooling performance.
- Avoid overloading the refrigerator, as overcrowding can restrict airflow and lead to cooling problems.
- Keep the refrigerator door closed as much as possible to prevent warm air from entering the unit.
- Schedule routine maintenance checks with a certified technician to inspect and service the refrigerator components.
This problem is also a part of most common ones. In 9 cases of 10 it is the completely frozen or ice-blocked evaporator. The root of the problem – failed defrost thermostat or evaporator fan. Also top 10 reasons include broken: defrost heater, air damper, defrost and temperature thermistor, defrost timer, electronic control board. In order to identify the source of fault it is necessary to perform diagnosis, defreeze the evaporator and replace the part.
Usually the faulty thermostat or temperature sensor cause this problem. Besides, the following breakdowns negatively influence the normal work: broken defrost timer, the electronic control board, heavily soiled condenser coils, not fully closed the door of the refrigerator and damaged door gasket. After diagnosis the part replacement will solve. Sometimes the second home refrigerator is placed in the garage. In our Florida hot weather conditions, the temperature in the garage can be at 100F point, so the difference in outside and inside refrigerator temperatures is too big. Therefore, your refrigerator requires more time to cool itself. In most cases it is not a breakdown but can cause the compressor damage or freon slow leak. Always bear in mind that the manufacturer insists on placing your refrigerator inside your house.
It is very often a noise of the evaporator fan blocked with ice. The reason is – defrost system malfunction and evaporator freeze-up. However, sometimes the Frigidaire refrigerators fan gets blocked due to water leak when filling the ice maker. Faulty components of the defrost system can be: defrost thermostat, defrost heater, defrost sensor, temperature sensor, defrost timer, electronic control board. The clog in the drainage system can also cause fan blockage. Besides mentioned above, the noise can be produced by engine bearings of evaporator fan or condenser, overheated compressor, broken water valve or air damper. The thorough diagnosis is mandatory to fix the noise because the longer malfunction continuous the more expensive repair it will require in the future.
The most common reason for that is torn door gasket or rust on the body of the refrigerator where door gasket contacts it. The warm air from the kitchen gets inside the refrigerator and results in formation of snow or drops of water inside. It is often also a manufacturer defect. The manufacturer during assembling of the refrigerator do not install the door gasket correctly and it might not fit securely. In this case it is necessary to find the gaps and repair with a hot hair drier or replace door gasket, otherwise it can cause evaporator freeze-up or blockage of evaporator or air damper and refrigerator inactivation.
Probably just a bulb replacement will solve but sometimes the problems is about the misfunctioning door switch. The door switch can be either mechanical or magnetic built-in the wall of the refrigerator. It also might be about the connector or worn out door wires. In very rare cases there can happen malfunctions of the electronic control board in Frigidaire refrigerators.
Breakdowns of water or cooling systems can cause water leak. The problems can revolve around various devices: frozen or clogged defrost drain, broken water tank, water inlet valve, water filter, drain pan, etc. The urgent diagnosis is a must. Water leak shall be repaired immediately because it can result in flooding the house and very expensive home renovation.
The most frequent reason is an old water filter. It shall be replaced at least once six months and if not then it gets clogged and no water through. The next top common reason is one or several misfunctioning water valves. Or it can be one or two broken nippels in water filter head, therefore water is blocked. And finally, water problems can be caused by defective dispenser control boards, dispenser switch or the door switch.
There are over 20 reasons for that. The most common are: defective ice machine unit or ice maker module. The ice maker usually also does not work if the freezer temperature is above 10F. Water problems are caused by misfunctions of: water inlet valve; low water pressure from the house, clogged water filter. Very rare the problem is about the door switch or icemaker door switch. The accurate diagnosis and repair are required to fix the refrigerator.
In Florida this breakdown is in TOP-10. No way to skip the diagnosis since a plenty of broken devices can case the mentioned above. Here are a few of them: dispenser control panel, dispenser switch, wire of the dispenser, solenoid of the dispenser, auger is broken or disconnected from the auger motor, engine of the dispenser door.

Reviews
I have used West Bay Appliances several times now and have only good things to say about them. They are professional, knowledgeable and very reasonable....
Excellent, professional service. I had a great experience. I recommend Andrew highly!!
Great job..they were on time and fixed yhe problem..
Appt. Scheduled in a timely manner also arrived on time. Had some difficulty figuring out the problem but continued to problem solve until the appliance was working. Also suggested an appliance cleaner and using liquid soap instead of powder. Emailed link regarding the cleaner. Very thorough.
We had a leak coming from our refrigerator and when we called Lowes, they sent us West Bay Appliance Repair and their great technician Andrew. Andrew called ahead and showed up on time and diagnosed the problem. He then got the part within 24 hours and came back at 5 o’clock on a Friday to finish installing the part. Andrew was courteous, on time, efficient, clean and knew exactly what to do to fix the problem. We highly recommend Andrew and West Bay Appliance Repair.
