Certified technicians restoring cooling power across all makes and models — with same-day service across Greater Seattle.

Refrigerator problems can be frustrating, but knowing the causes helps you take the right action.





Issue 01 of 05
Not Cooling Properly
Spotted your issue?
When your fridge feels warm, food spoils quickly, or temperature is inconsistent and thermostat adjustments don't help, the cause is usually one of these:
Whether you're seeing puddles under the fridge, water dripping inside, or moisture near the door, leaks can come from:
Loud humming, buzzing, or clicking usually points to an issue with the compressor, evaporator fan, or condenser fan. The motor may be malfunctioning or a component obstructed by dust or debris. Some noises signal more serious underlying problems that need immediate attention.
Ice accumulating inside the freezer or fridge usually means the automatic defrost system isn't working properly. A blocked air vent or faulty door seals can also cause moisture buildup that leads to unwanted ice — forcing your fridge to overwork and consume more energy.
If your refrigerator isn't turning on at all, it could be the power supply, control board, or thermostat. Confirm the fridge is plugged in and check for outages. If there's no power coming through, it's likely an internal component issue that needs professional attention.
A working refrigerator does more than keep food cool — it shapes your home's safety, efficiency, and rhythm.
Temperature fluctuations let bacteria grow on perishables. A healthy fridge keeps your food fresh and safe.
A fridge running properly draws less power. A failing one quietly raises your electricity bill month after month.
Your fridge keeps drinks cold, leftovers fresh, and meals ready. When it stops, life stops.
Some fridge issues have simple at-home fixes. Walk through these four checks — if the problem persists, our team is one call away.
Safety first
Unplug the unit before touching seals or coils. Skip electrical or refrigerant work — leave those to a certified tech.
Make sure the fridge is plugged in and getting power. A simple unplug and plug back in can resolve power-related issues.
Sometimes settings get bumped accidentally. Check the thermostat and adjust if needed before assuming the worst.
Dust and dirt on the coils make your fridge less efficient. A regular clean restores performance.
Damaged or worn-out seals let cool air escape. Make sure they're intact and the door closes tightly.

Many fridge problems require expert knowledge and specialized tools. A trained technician accurately diagnoses the root cause — preventing misdiagnosis that could lead to further damage.
The biggest advantage of professional service is the use of original parts and proper equipment. Unlike DIY repairs that delay the problem, our work restores cooling power and efficiency for the long term — and lowers your energy bill in the process.
Every repair is backed by a warranty on both parts and labor. Attempting a DIY fix can void your manufacturer's warranty and leave you uncovered if more issues appear. Investing in expert repair extends the life of your appliance, prevents costly breakdowns, and keeps your food fresh and safe.
When your fridge breaks down, you need a company you can trust to get it back up and running quickly. Here's what you get with us.
Factory-trained, certified pros with deep technical knowledge on every refrigerator type and model.
Precision diagnostic and repair equipment — no guesswork, even on modern smart fridges.
Same-day service for urgent issues. We arrive on time, diagnose quickly, and get your fridge running again.
We walk you through the problem, explain the repair, and give a clear cost breakdown — you stay in control.
From simple top-freezers to high-tech smart fridges, no problem is too small or too complex for our team.
Not a giant chain — your trusted Seattle neighbors, with a parts and labor warranty on every repair.
A few of the smiles we've earned on the job — and what our customers had to say afterwards.

Service was scheduled quickly, repairman called with expected arrival time and arrived promptly. Repairs needed were identified and carried out, kitchen was left clean and the refrigerator works! He called the next day to be sure everything was working well. This was an excellent experience throughout.

Dmitro was amazing! He showed promptly when he said he would, explained all my options thoroughly when it came to addressing the obnoxious noises my fridge was making, and had an impressive eye for detail (he managed to empty and then re-place everything in my fridge almost exactly where he had found it! Impressive!) he was kind and easy to work worth.

Great costumer service was able to set up an appointment for a technician to come look at a problem with refrigerator on a next day! Dmitro, the technician, was able to determine an issue with the ice maker in our Bosh 800 series refrigerator. He recommended to replace parts. Ordered them right away and installed on a next visit. It is working perfectly since, making ice again. Thanks! I highly recommend this company to anyone who is looking for a fast, professional solutions.

I was so impressed with Expert Appliance Repair and especially Dmitro. I have used this company before for some refrigerator maintenance and they were awesome then as well. I think what impresses me most is how quickly they respond. Dmitro was professional, polite and personable. He looked at the problem I was having and ordered the parts to be overnighted. He came back the following day, installed the parts efficiently checking to make sure the parts were in correctly and working properly. The parts and repair were very reasonable. I will always use this company for appliance repair and will share their number with my neighbors and friends.

EAR was prompt in responding to our leaky washing machine. Dmitro came and diagnosed the issue, a leaking drain hose. He helped me in finding the correct part on a reliable website. I ordered the part and he returned to fix it. I was very impressed with Dimitro and EAR's performance, and the way they handled the problem professionally. And the whole job was reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend EAR for your appliance repairs since these guys are experts in what they do.
