Many standard refrigerators are designed for indoor temperatures, so a hot Texas garage makes them run almost constantly and can lead to warm temperatures or early compressor failure. Clean coils, space for airflow and a garage-ready model all help. If a garage unit is running warm, we diagnose it the same way as an indoor one.

This usually means cold air isn't reaching the fresh-food section, not that the refrigerator has stopped making cold. The most common causes are an iced-over evaporator coil, a failed evaporator fan motor, a defrost system failure or an air damper stuck closed. All of these are usually repairable.

Most leaks come from a clogged defrost drain, a cracked drain pan, or a leaking water inlet valve or supply line. Pull the refrigerator forward if you can, dry the floor, and book a repair before the water damages your flooring.

The most common causes are a faulty water inlet valve, a clogged water filter, a frozen fill tube, a failed ice maker module or a freezer that is running too warm. Each part can be replaced on its own, without replacing the refrigerator.

Buzzing, clicking or rattling usually comes from an evaporator or condenser fan motor, ice hitting a fan blade, the compressor start relay or a loose drain pan. A technician can tell which by where the sound comes from and when it happens in the cooling cycle.

In most cases, yes. A common rule of thumb is to repair when the cost is under half the price of a comparable new refrigerator and the unit is under about 10 years old. A compressor or sealed-system failure on an older refrigerator is the main case where replacing makes more sense.

Most standard refrigerators last about 10 to 15 years, and built-in models often last longer. Cleaning the condenser coils, keeping the door seals in good shape and leaving room for airflow all help a refrigerator reach the long end of that range.

The cost depends on the part that failed and the labor involved, so ALAS gives you a written estimate before any work begins. A diagnostic fee covers the visit and inspection and is credited toward the repair if you go ahead with it. If you decide not to repair, you pay only the diagnostic fee. Call (469) 638-3215 for the current diagnostic fee.

Repairs carry a 90-day warranty for non-members and 6 months for ALAS members. Sealed-system repairs, such as compressor and refrigerant work, carry 12 months for every customer. The exact coverage is written on your invoice.

Yes. ALAS repairs built-in and column refrigerators from Sub-Zero, Thermador, Viking, Monogram and other high-end brands, along with standard models from Samsung, LG, Whirlpool, GE, Frigidaire, KitchenAid, Maytag and Bosch. Built-in units take longer to access, so we schedule a longer appointment for them.

You can safely check the basics: the temperature setting, the air vents inside, the condenser coils, the water filter and the door seals. Repairs involving the compressor, refrigerant, wiring or control boards should be left to a trained technician, both for safety and to avoid damaging the refrigerator further.

Vacuum the condenser coils twice a year, leave a few inches of space behind and above the refrigerator, replace the water filter on schedule, keep the door seals clean, and don't block the air vents inside. An ALAS maintenance plan includes scheduled checkups that catch problems early.
