FAQs
❄️ Refrigerator Repair FAQs
Q: Why is my refrigerator not cooling properly?
A fridge that isn’t cooling could be caused by a number of issues — from a faulty thermostat, evaporator fan motor, or condenser coils, to something as simple as a blocked vent or door seal issue. If the freezer is still cold but the fridge isn’t, that’s a common sign of restricted airflow.
⸻
Q: My refrigerator is running constantly — is that normal?
No. While newer models are more energy-efficient and run more often, a refrigerator that runs constantly may have dirty condenser coils, a faulty temperature sensor, or be struggling to maintain temperature due to a leak or worn door gasket.
⸻
Q: What should I do if my fridge is leaking water?
Water leaks are often caused by a clogged or frozen defrost drain, a cracked water line, or a malfunctioning water filter. If you notice water under or inside your fridge, it’s best to shut it off and call for service.
⸻
Q: Why is there frost building up in my freezer or fridge?
Frost can form when warm air gets inside — usually from a worn door seal, frequent door openings, or a defrost system failure. Excess frost can block airflow and lead to cooling problems.
⸻
Q: My ice maker isn’t working — do I need a new one?
Not necessarily. It could be a frozen water line, clogged filter, broken fill valve, or electrical issue. We’ll diagnose the problem and replace only what’s necessary.
⸻
Q: How long should a refrigerator last?
Most refrigerators last 10–15 years, but repairs can often extend their life — especially when the issue is minor or isolated to one part. If your fridge is under 10 years old, it’s usually worth repairing.
⸻
Q: Do you service all refrigerator brands?
Yes! At Apex Appliance, we service all major brands including Whirlpool, GE, LG, Samsung, Frigidaire, KitchenAid, Maytag, and more.
⸻
Q: How quickly can you get someone out to fix my fridge?
We offer fast, flexible scheduling and often provide same- or next-day service in the Greater Boston area. A broken fridge is an urgent issue — we treat it like one.
⸻
Q: Is it better to repair or replace my refrigerator?
That depends on the age of the fridge and the cost of repair. If the repair is under 50% of the cost of a new unit and the appliance is under 10 years old, repair is usually the better choice.
