In most cases, a puddle on the kitchen floor points to a blocked or frozen defrost drain line, forcing condensation to overflow out of the unit. However, if your fridge has an ice maker or water dispenser, it could also be a cracked water inlet valve or a crimped water line running behind the machine. Our technicians can quickly clear the line or replace the valve right on the spot to protect your cabinetry and flooring.

This common issue usually points to a failure in the airflow system. It is typically caused by a faulty evaporator fan motor, a broken damper door that controls air flowing between the two sections, or frosted-over coils blocking the vents. Because our local service vans are fully stocked with factory-certified fans, sensors, and control boards, we can almost always resolve this temperature balance problem on our first visit.

If your refrigerator is under 8 to 10 years old and the repair cost is reasonable compared to a brand-new unit, fixing it is almost always the faster and more cost-effective choice. Built-in models (like Sub-Zero or high-end French door units) are almost always worth repairing. We provide an honest, upfront diagnostic evaluation with zero hidden fees, so you can make an informed decision.

Our certified specialists are trained to service all major residential refrigerator makes, models, and configurations—including side-by-side, French door, bottom-freezer, and built-in units. We regularly service industry-leading brands such as Samsung, LG, Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Maytag, GE, Frigidaire, Kenmore, and Bosch.
