Common Refrigerator Problems We Fix
Most refrigerator repair calls in Lebanon fall into one of these categories. Here's what typically causes each one.
Refrigerator Not Cooling
A warm refrigerator with a cold freezer usually points to a failing evaporator fan, a blocked air damper, or dirty condenser coils restricting airflow. If both sections are warm, we check the compressor and start components next. We test under load rather than guessing at the part.
Refrigerator Leaking Water
Leaks are usually a clogged or frozen defrost drain, a cracked water line to the ice maker, or a door seal that's letting warm air in and causing condensation. We trace the water back to its source before replacing anything.
Refrigerator Is Noisy
Buzzing or humming usually points to the compressor or condenser fan. Clicking or rattling is often the evaporator fan hitting ice buildup from a failing defrost system. We identify which component is making the noise before opening anything up.
Ice Maker Not Making Ice
No ice production is commonly a frozen or clogged water line, a failed water inlet valve, or a bad ice maker module. Low water pressure to the house can cause the same symptom, so we check the supply line before assuming the part is bad.
Refrigerator Runs Constantly
A compressor that never cycles off is usually dirty condenser coils, a failing start relay, or a door seal that isn't sealing all the way around. This drives up your power bill even before the refrigerator fully fails, so it's worth having checked early.
Door Won't Seal Properly
A door that doesn't seal is often a worn or torn gasket, a door that's out of alignment, or a broken hinge. A bad seal lets warm air in constantly, which is often the real reason a refrigerator seems to be "not cooling."
Serving Lebanon, KY and Marion County
Lebanon is the seat of Marion County and home to around 6,500 people. The town got its start in 1814, and a lot of that history is still standing. Homes near the historic downtown business district, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, often have older kitchens and older refrigerators worth repairing instead of replacing.
Lebanon has grown too. The Diageo distillery that opened here in 2020 brought new construction and new neighborhoods along with it. Whether your refrigerator is 15 years old in a house near downtown or a year old in a newer subdivision, we repair refrigerators from all major manufacturers and carry the parts we need for the repairs we see most often.
