Shelves warming up, frost creeping over the back wall or a puddle under the crisper? A Grapevine technician heads to your kitchen, finds the part behind the cooling trouble and gets your groceries cold again.
Grapevine, Texas
Six refrigerator complaints that keep our Grapevine schedule full, each listed with the parts we check before anything else.
Cold air made in the freezer never arrives up top, usually because its fan stalled or the air channel iced over.
Usual suspectsEvaporator fan, air damper, thermistor
The automatic defrost has stopped working, so ice stacks up on the coil until little cold air gets through.
Usual suspectsDefrost heater, bi-metal thermostat, control board
Meltwater is escaping because the drain tube froze solid or a water line fitting has worked loose.
Usual suspectsDrain tube, drain pan, inlet fitting
Too little water makes it to the ice mold, thanks to a tired inlet valve, an overdue water filter or a worn-out ice unit.
Usual suspectsFill valve, water filter, ice maker module
Blades striking ice, a condenser fan motor wearing out or a relay clicking the compressor in and out.
Usual suspectsCondenser fan, start relay, fan blades
Dusty coils or a gasket that no longer grips force the system to work nonstop just to keep up.
Usual suspectsCondenser coils, door gasket, sensor

Everyday names and high-end labels alike. If your appliance wears one of these badges, our technicians have opened plenty just like it.
A blinking code is the fridge telling you where it hurts. Look yours up on the signs below.
Ice maker sensor error
The sensor inside the ice maker is sending readings the board cannot use.
Call a technicianCompressor current fault
The compressor drew abnormal current. Unplug for a minute; if it comes back, call us.
Try this firstLow voltage notice
A brief dip in power, often after an outage. Hold the OK button for three seconds to clear it.

Try this firstDefrost sensor fault
The sensor that tells the defrost cycle when to stop has failed.
Call a technicianFreezer cycle fault
The freezer did not cool down fast enough after starting, or warmed up while running.

The tank is missing, sitting wrong, or its detection sensor has failed. Reseat it first.

Messages from Grapevine homeowners once their refrigerators were humming along again.
Hey, just wanted to say thanks again. The freezer was covered in frost and the milk was going warm.
Your guy swapped the defrost heater and sensor in under an hour, and everything is back to normal temps.
Fridge started dripping all over the kitchen floor last week.
He cleared a frozen drain tube, cleaned the pan and pointed out the spot to watch. Dry ever since!
Ice maker quit right before a pool party, of course.
New fill valve and filter, and we had a bin full of ice by the evening. Lifesaver.
Answer these in order. Each yes moves you one step closer to a working fridge, and each no comes with a quick fix to try.
Is the light coming on when you open the door?
Peek at the electrical panel for a tripped switch, then confirm the socket works using a small lamp.
Is the dial close to 37°F for the fridge and 0°F for the freezer?
Turn the settings back to those numbers and give the fridge a full day to settle.
Are the vents inside clear of food packages?
Shift boxes and bottles off the vents, giving chilled air a clear path between compartments.
Do the doors seal tight all around?
Clean the gaskets with warm soapy water and make sure nothing is propping a door open.
Still warm after all four?
