What we do on a refrigerator
Clean, professional, White Glove service on every call — start to finish.
Cooling Diagnostics
Not cold enough, or not cooling at all? We trace it to the real cause — compressor, sealed system, fans, or controls — instead of guessing.
Sealed System & Compressor
Refrigerant leaks, weak compressors, and evaporator or condenser faults, handled by certified technicians.
Ice Makers & Dispensers
No ice, slow or hollow ice, or water on the floor — ice makers, water lines, and door dispensers.
Leaks, Noise & Controls
Water pooling, loud fans, warm spots, failed defrost systems, and control-board faults.

Repair or replace a refrigerator? Our honest take
A refrigerator is the one appliance you can't do without for long, so the first question is always how fast we can get it cold again — often the same day on the Hwy-70 corridor from New Bern to Beaufort.
The second question is whether it's worth fixing. Simple failures — fans, thermostats, defrost heaters, ice makers, and control boards — are usually a clear repair. A failed sealed system or compressor on an older unit is where we give you the straight math and let you decide, with the diagnostic and any repair priced up front so there are no surprises.
…and every other major brand we service.

Refrigerator Repair FAQs
My refrigerator stopped cooling — how fast can you come out?
Refrigerators are priority calls because food is on the line. Same-day service is often available, fastest along the Hwy-70 corridor from New Bern to Beaufort; outlying towns are usually within one to two days. Call (252) 349-5878 and we'll get you on the schedule.
Is it worth repairing a refrigerator, or should I replace it?
It depends on the fault. Fans, thermostats, defrost parts, ice makers, and control boards are almost always worth repairing. Sealed-system or compressor failures on older units are the judgment call — we give you the honest cost up front so you can decide before any work begins.
Do you fix ice makers and water dispensers?
Yes. No ice, slow or hollow ice, leaks, and dispenser problems are some of the most common calls we run, on both freestanding and built-in refrigerators.
Which refrigerator brands do you service?
All major brands — Whirlpool, GE, Frigidaire, Samsung, LG, Maytag, KitchenAid, and Bosch, plus built-ins like Sub-Zero and Viking, among others.
Why is my refrigerator running all the time?
Constant running can be a dirty condenser, a failing defrost system, a weak door seal, or a struggling compressor. We diagnose the actual cause rather than swapping parts and hoping.
Fridge not cooling? Let's get it cold again.
We'll diagnose the problem, give you the price up front, and get your refrigerator back to temperature — usually in a single visit.
