From cooling problems and frost buildup to leaks and ice maker issues, these are some of the most common refrigerator problems we diagnose in Vaughan homes.
The light runs on a different circuit than the cooling parts, so a lit fridge can still be failing.
Common causes are a stopped evaporator or condenser fan, a defrost fault that has iced over the coil, a start relay, or a sensor or control problem. Compressor faults are less common, and we confirm them by testing before we call it.
The cold is made in the freezer and blown into the fridge side.
If that air stops moving, the fridge warms up while the freezer stays cold. The usual causes are an iced-over evaporator coil, a stuck air damper or a failed evaporator fan.
Water inside, on the shelves, often means a blocked defrost drain.
Water underneath usually points to the water inlet valve, the supply line or a cracked filter housing. We trace the water back to where it starts before replacing anything.
We check freezer temperature first, because an ice maker won’t fill if the freezer runs warm.
Then we test the water inlet valve, the supply line and the ice maker module itself.
A frozen line in the door, a failing inlet valve, a dispenser switch or a clogged filter can each stop the water.
Book this repair
A fan blade hitting ice, a worn fan motor, or a start relay clicking as the compressor tries to start.
A new noise is worth checking early, before it turns into a warm fridge.
A worn door gasket lets warm, damp air in, which builds frost and keeps the fridge running.
Dirty condenser coils, a defrost part or a sensor fault can do the same.

Completed refrigerator repairs are backed by our 1-Year Parts & Labour Warranty on Completed Repairs. If a problem related to the repair comes back in that year, call us.
If the job needs a new water supply line, a new circuit or other work beyond the appliance, we’ll tell you before any work starts.
Most fan, defrost, valve, gasket and sensor repairs cost far less than a new fridge, so they’re usually worth doing. Compressor and sealed-system work is the big decision point, especially on an older fridge. After testing, we’ll give you the repair price and tell you plainly if replacing makes more sense. If it does, we can install the new one.
An older fridge with rust, cabinet damage or repeated failures may not justify a major repair.
Fan, defrost, sensor, valve and gasket faults are often practical to repair when the refrigerator is otherwise in good condition. Sealed-system work costs more.
Parts for some older or discontinued models are limited or slow to source.
We compare the repair price with the cost of a comparable new fridge and tell you plainly if replacing makes more sense.
If replacing makes more sense, we can install your new refrigerator. Call 1-888-642-0352 to book.
