Can you fix the refrigerator in my Wilmore rental before the tenant loses food?

We often have same-day appointments when the schedule allows, and many common top-freezer repairs can be finished on the first visit. Tell the tenant to keep the doors closed in the meantime. We will call you with the diagnosis and price before any work starts.

My apartment fridge off Tyvola Road clicks and won't cool. What is happening?

A repeated click every few minutes usually means the compressor is trying to start and failing, often because of a bad start relay or overload. That part is inexpensive compared with the compressor itself. If you rent, ask your landlord or maintenance office to book the visit.

Older Top-Freezers and Rental Units on the West Side

Many west-side kitchens still run a plain top-freezer refrigerator that has been in place for years. Its classic failure is a defrost problem: frost thickens on the freezer's back wall, cold air stops reaching the fresh-food side, and milk turns warm while ice cream stays hard. Evaporator fan motors and the compressor start relay are the other usual suspects. None of those means a refrigerant leak, and most are reasonable repairs. Dusty condenser coils make every one of those faults worse during a humid summer, especially in small kitchens where the fridge sits next to the range.

A First Check and How Rental Visits Work

With the fridge unplugged, pull off the toe grille or reach behind the unit and vacuum the coils, then listen after restoring power for the fan inside the freezer. If you rent, tell your landlord before booking, since most leases put this repair on the owner. Landlords can give us the tenant's contact and a gate code for complexes near Billy Graham Parkway, and we call for approval once the diagnosis and price are known.

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.
