Fridge Acting Up? Find the Cause and Book Your Kirkland Repair

Most fridge problems show up as one of four symptoms. Find yours below to see what usually causes it and what our technician checks first. If food is already warming up, call now instead of waiting it out.

Why is my refrigerator making noise?

A soft hum and the odd click are normal. Grinding, squealing, rattling or a buzz that never seems to stop usually comes from one of these three parts.

  • Failed Evaporator Fan Motor

    A squeal or chirp inside the freezer that gets louder when you open the door often means the fan bearings are wearing out. Once the fan stops, the fridge section warms up. We replace the motor and check the blade for ice damage.

  • Dirty Condenser Coils and Fan

    Dust and pet hair on the coils make the compressor run longer and the condenser fan work harder, which you hear as a steady hum or rattle. We clean the coils, test the fan and make sure air moves freely around the unit.

  • Worn Compressor Mounts

    A rattle from the bottom back of the fridge every time it starts can come from hardened rubber mounts or a refrigerant line touching the cabinet. We replace the mounts and secure the tubing so it stops vibrating.

Quick check: pull the fridge out a few centimetres so it isn't touching the wall or cabinets, and check that it sits level. Both cause rattles that have nothing to do with a broken part.

Why is my fridge leaking water?

Water under the crisper drawers or on the kitchen floor usually comes from the defrost system or the water line that feeds the ice maker.

  • Clogged Defrost Drain

    Every defrost cycle sends meltwater down a small drain at the back of the freezer. When food bits or ice block it, water backs up into the fridge or freezes into a sheet on the freezer floor. We clear and flush the drain and test the defrost heater.

  • Faulty Water Inlet Valve

    Fridges with an ice maker or dispenser have a valve at the back where the water line connects. A cracked valve or loose fitting leaks behind the fridge, often unnoticed until the floor is wet. We replace the valve and check the supply line.

  • Cracked Drain Pan

    The pan under the fridge collects defrost water so it can evaporate. If it cracks or slips out of place, water ends up on the floor, usually near the front. We replace or reseat the pan.

Quick check: lay a dry towel under the fridge overnight. Water at the back points to the water line. Water at the front usually means the defrost drain or the drain pan.

Why does food freeze in the fresh-food section?

If milk and lettuce freeze on a normal setting, too much cold air is getting into the fridge section, or the fridge doesn't know when to stop cooling.

  • Defective Thermistor

    The thermistor reads the temperature and tells the control board when to stop cooling. When it reads wrong, the fridge keeps cooling past the set point. We test its resistance and replace it if it's out of range.

  • Stuck Air Damper Control

    The damper is a small door that lets cold air from the freezer into the fridge. If it sticks open, cold air pours in nonstop and food near the vent freezes. We repair or replace the damper assembly.

  • Faulty Main Control Board

    When the sensor and damper test fine, the board may be keeping the cooling on too long. We run the board's diagnostic mode before replacing anything, so you only pay for the part that actually failed.

Quick check: make sure the control isn't on its coldest setting and that food isn't pressed against the air vent at the back. The fridge should sit at 37 to 40°F (3 to 4°C).

Why is the fridge warm when the freezer is cold?

This is the classic sign that cold air from the freezer isn't reaching the fridge. The freezer keeps working, so it's easy to miss until the milk turns.

  • Frost Buildup on the Evaporator Coil

    When the defrost heater, timer or thermostat fails, frost builds up on the coil behind the freezer panel until air can't pass. You may see frost on the back wall of the freezer. We repair the defrost system and clear the ice.

  • Blocked Air Vents Between Compartments

    A packed freezer often blocks the vent that feeds the fridge. Move items away from the vents first. If air still isn't flowing, ice inside the air duct is the likely cause, and we clear it during the visit.

  • Broken Evaporator Fan

    If you can't hear the fan inside the freezer while the compressor runs, it has probably stopped, and the cold stays in the freezer. We replace the motor and check what made it fail.

While you wait: keep the doors closed. A closed fridge keeps food cold for about 4 hours, and a full freezer holds for about 48 hours (24 if half full).

Fridge Brands Our Kirkland Technicians Repair

We repair refrigerators from the brands below, from LG and Samsung French-door models with ice and water dispensers to Whirlpool and Frigidaire top-freezers and built-in Bosch and Miele units. Each brand has its own weak spots, and our technicians know where to look first.

Many fridges have a longer manufacturer warranty on the sealed system (the compressor and refrigerant lines) than on other parts. If yours is still covered, contact the manufacturer first. Once the coverage ends, we're happy to take over.

Fridge from another brand? Call with the model number from the sticker inside the fridge door and we'll tell you right away if we can fix it.
