Refrigerator Repair FAQ
How much does refrigerator repair cost? We can’t give you a price until we see it. Every repair is different depending on what’s wrong and what parts are needed. We charge a flat trip charge to come diagnose it, and if you approve the repair that fee is waived. Our technician examines the appliance, then walks you through exactly what’s wrong and gives you a price before any work begins. You don’t pay anything until the job is complete.
My refrigerator stopped cooling. How long can my food last? A refrigerator that has completely stopped cooling will keep food safe for about 4 hours if you keep the door closed. A full freezer stays safe for about 48 hours, a half full freezer about 24 hours. If your refrigerator stops cooling, minimize how often you open the door and call us as soon as possible. We understand refrigerator repairs are urgent and prioritize them accordingly.
Is it worth repairing a refrigerator? Usually yes, depending on the age and the repair needed. Most refrigerator repairs are worth it if the unit is less than 10 to 12 years old and the repair cost is less than half the price of a replacement. Compressor repairs on older units are the exception where replacement sometimes makes more sense. Our technicians will give you an honest assessment so you can make the right decision.
Do you repair all refrigerator styles? Yes. We repair top freezer, bottom freezer, side by side, and French door refrigerators. We also repair built-in refrigerators and wine coolers.
How long does refrigerator repair take? Many repairs are completed on the first visit. We stock common parts on our trucks to handle frequent repairs same day. When a part needs to be ordered, our technician schedules your return visit before he leaves your home. Parts typically arrive the next day and we get back out to you within 1 to 2 days after that. We understand a broken refrigerator is urgent and work to get back to you as quickly as possible.
