Refrigerator Repair in Columbia — Book a Visit Today

We repair refrigerators in Columbia homes, so call us when yours runs and runs but never gets cold. That symptom usually points to a choked condenser coil, a stuck defrost timer, or a fan that died after a storm-season surge. Garage fridges here see it a lot, because summer heat pushes an old compressor hard. We check temperatures in both compartments, listen at the back, and test the parts that actually fail. Any major brand, independent work, straight answers. Move the food to a cooler and reach us, or drop your details in the quote form.

Common refrigerator faults in Columbia homes

"Fridge is warm but the freezer's still frozen" Evaporator fan failure, or frost blocking the air path between the two compartments.
"Water's pooling under the crisper drawers" Plugged defrost drain or a cracked drain pan, usually with ice hiding under the panel.
"It hums, clicks, then goes quiet again" Start relay or compressor trouble, sometimes overheating off a dusty condenser.
"Ice maker fills but never drops cubes" Bad ice maker module, a frozen fill tube, or a water inlet valve losing pressure.
"Runs nonstop and the food's still soft" Door gasket leaks, a thermistor misreading, or a low refrigerant charge in the sealed system.

Refrigerator Repair in Columbia — quick answers

How long can food stay safe once the fridge warms up?

Refrigerated food is generally safe about four hours if the door stays shut, and a full freezer can hold roughly two days. Move milk, meat, and leftovers into a cooler with ice. Don't refreeze anything that thawed soft.

Is a warm fridge with a cold freezer worth fixing?

Usually yes. That split almost always points to airflow, not the compressor. A stuck evaporator fan, a defrost failure packing the coil in frost, or a damper problem all get repaired right there in the home in most cases.

My fridge died right after a power surge. Now what?

Storms around here take out control boards and start relays. Unplug the unit, wait a few minutes, plug it back in, and listen. No hum, no fan noise? The board or relay likely needs testing. Call us.

Why does ice keep building up on the back wall of my freezer?

Either the defrost system isn't doing its job, or warm humid air is sneaking past a tired door gasket. We test the heater, thermostat, and timer or board, then check the seal and the drain path while we're back there.

How soon can you get to my house in Columbia?

Most calls get a same-week window, and often next day. Storm weeks fill up quicker, since surge damage hits several houses at once. Call us early and tell us the symptom, so we can load the likely parts before we head your way.

How it works

Step 1
Tell us the symptom
Call us or fill out the form and tell us what you hear, smell, or see. Buzzing, leaking, no heat. Plain talk is fine. We'll ask a few questions and set a visit window.
Step 2
We come look
A technician shows up in the window, pulls the unit out, and tests it. No guessing games. We explain what failed and why, in words that make sense on your back porch.
Step 3
We fix it
Common parts ride with us, so a lot of repairs finish on that first visit. If a part has to be ordered, we tell you plainly and set the return date before we pull out of your driveway.

Why homeowners call us

Storm-season surge damageLightning and blinking power hurt control boards. You get an oven that lights up but won't heat, or a washer that quits mid-cycle. We test boards and wiring before we replace anything, so you know what the surge actually took out.
Clay dust and lintRed clay dust and lint choke dryer vents and condenser coils. That's where long dry times and a hot laundry room come from, and it's why a fridge runs nonstop. We check airflow every visit, because a clogged vent kills a good machine slowly.
Straight talk, no runaroundWe tell you what's wrong and what it takes to fix. If a machine is worn past sense, we say that too, and you decide. No pressure and no jargon. We don't dress up an upsell as advice.
Independent and localWe're a Nashville crew, not a call center. As an independent shop we repair all major brands. Call us and you get a real person, somebody who knows the roads we drive.
All major brands, gas & electricIndependent service on Whirlpool, LG, Samsung, GE, Maytag, Bosch, KitchenAid and the rest.
Straight answersNot worth fixing? We say that out loud, and often it saves you the visit fee.
