My refrigerator in Mount Pleasant stopped cooling after the power came back on. What failed?

Surges after an outage can damage a control board, start relay or fan motor. Reset the breaker and give it a few hours. If it still is not cooling, we test those parts and quote the repair.

Do you repair old refrigerators kept in shops and barns around Midland?

Yes, if there is safe access and power. Shop refrigerators often need a coil cleaning, a fan or a start relay. If an older unit has a sealed-system failure, we will tell you whether it is worth repairing.

Kitchen units, shop units and long outages

Rural lines around Midland and Mount Pleasant can be slow to come back after a thunderstorm or ice storm, and the surge when power returns can damage a refrigerator's control board or fan motors. A refrigerator that hums but does not cool after an outage may have a failed start relay or board rather than anything more serious. Extra refrigerators in shops and outbuildings face heat, dust and pollen, which clog condensers quickly.

After an outage, give the refrigerator several hours to recover before judging it, and keep the doors shut. Vacuum the condenser coils, especially on shop units, and confirm the outlet works. If a refrigerator on well water also has a dispenser, a slow or sputtering dispenser points to the water supply rather than the cooling system.

The technician tests the compressor start components, fans, defrost system, controls and gaskets. Midland is fairly close to our regular routes; visits toward Mount Pleasant may be scheduled in route blocks on set days. You get the diagnosis and price first.

Before You Book: Refrigerator Checks

Safe first steps for the most urgent refrigerator problems, and when to leave it to a technician.

Not Cooling: Confirm the thermostat dial or display has not been bumped to off or a warm setting, and pull the toe-kick grille to see whether the coils are packed with dust.
Freezer Not Freezing: Listen for the fan inside the freezer when the door switch is pressed and make sure food is not stacked against the vent on the back wall.
Leaking Water: Shut off the water supply to the refrigerator and dry the floor, then watch whether the puddle returns; if it does, the drain or defrost side is the more likely source.
Compressor Failure: Don't attempt this yourself; the compressor is part of the sealed refrigerant system, so just note whether you hear clicking every few minutes from the back and tell the technician.

Symptoms, causes and repair-or-replace advice for every type of refrigerator are in our complete refrigerator repair guide.
