The fridge in my NoDa mill cottage won't keep its doors closed. Is that a repair?

Often it is an adjustment. Older floors can slope, and tilting the fridge slightly back with its leveling legs helps the doors swing shut. If the gasket is torn or a hinge is worn, we can replace those parts.

Is a surge protector worth it for a new refrigerator in a Plaza Midwood townhome?

It can help. Storm surges are hard on electronic controls, and a quality surge protector or whole-house protection adds a layer of defense. If your fridge already acts strangely after storms, we can test the control board and related parts.

Alcoves and Sloping Floors

Kitchens in NoDa's mill cottages and Plaza Midwood's bungalows were often expanded piece by piece, and the refrigerator ends up in whatever space was left. A fridge without room for air to move around the condenser runs warmer and longer, especially when a small kitchen heats up in July. Old floors that slope can also keep doors from swinging closed on their own, letting humid air in and frost build in the freezer. Adjust the leveling legs so the doors close by themselves, and vacuum the coils with the fridge unplugged.

New Infill, New Electronics

Townhomes and apartments near the light rail, and along the rebuilt blocks of Belmont and Villa Heights, tend to have recent refrigerators with large control boards. Flickering power during storms can leave them beeping or not cooling, so unplug for a few minutes to reset. Older outlets that were never updated can also make a new fridge act strangely, and we will point that out if we see it. If cooling does not return, the technician tests fans, sensors, defrost parts and controls and explains the price.

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.
