GE Refrigerator Repair – Canton, OH (TBX18SABQRWW)

A GE refrigerator at a rental property in Canton, OH had been leaking for a while according to the property management company. Our inspection revealed multiple issues that led to the recommendation for replacement rather than repair.

The Problem

The customer reported that the fridge has been leaking for a while. This was a property management situation where ongoing water damage was a concern for the rental unit.

Diagnosis

We found that the fridge door is broken and the defrost drain is plugged. These two issues combined were causing the persistent water leakage that had been occurring over time.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: No parts recorded
• Work performed: Diagnostic inspection only
• Result: Property management will replace the unit

Is It Worth Repairing?

For this older GE refrigerator model with multiple structural issues including a broken door and drainage problems, replacement made the most economic sense. When a refrigerator has both door seal integrity problems and internal drainage failures, the repair costs often exceed the value of an aging unit, especially in a rental property situation.

Maintenance Tips for GE Refrigerators

• Check door seals monthly for cracks or warping that can lead to cooling loss and condensation
• Clean the defrost drain annually by flushing with warm water to prevent clogs
• Keep the refrigerator level to ensure proper door closure and drainage function
