Common Refrigerator Problems We Fix
Thousand Oaks homeowners contact us for a wide range of refrigerator issues, including:
- Unit not cooling at all — Could be a compressor issue, failed start relay, or a malfunctioning control board. We test systematically to find the cause.
- Freezer works but fridge is warm — This classic symptom often means the evaporator fan motor has failed or the damper control is stuck.
- Water pooling inside the refrigerator — A clogged defrost drain is the most common cause, and it’s a quick fix.
- Refrigerator cycling on and off rapidly — Dirty condenser coils, a failing compressor, or electrical issues can cause short cycling.
- Built-in ice maker stopped producing ice — Water inlet valve failure, frozen fill tubes, or incorrect freezer temperature settings.
- Unusual odors even after cleaning — A malfunctioning fan or drainage problem can create persistent smells that regular cleaning won’t solve.
