Why your refrigerator is not cooling

A refrigerator that is not cooling tends to show the same signs, whatever the brand: unit runs but temperature stays warm — usually a compressor, condenser, or refrigerant issue. Nine times out of ten it comes down to defrost fault icing over the evaporator. Left unaddressed, food or stock can spoil within hours.

Most likely causes

  • Failed compressor or start relay
  • A bad evaporator fan motor
  • Refrigerant leak in the sealed system
  • A stuck or failed damper control

Quick check — and when it's not DIY

Worth checking yourself first: listen for the compressor running at all, and make sure nothing is blocking airflow around the back or bottom vents. Should that not clear it, the cause is almost always a failed compressor or a refrigerant leak in the sealed system, and handling refrigerant legally requires an experienced technician — which is where DIY stops.

How we fix it

Our technician runs a full diagnostic on your refrigerator and isolates the exact cause before quoting. We carry common refrigerator parts for every major brand, so most repairs are done in one visit. You approve a flat price up front, and the work is backed by our labour and parts warranty.

The refrigerator broke right before the weekend and they still came out same-day. Flat price agreed up front, and they stood behind the labour warranty.

No waiting around — the refrigerator was diagnosed within an hour of the tech arriving. Fair price, no surprise fees, and the refrigerator has worked perfectly since.

Called late at night and a tech was here by mid-morning to look at the refrigerator. Clean, on-time, and they took the old part with them. Would call again.
