These are the most common refrigerator issues I diagnose in Louisville-area homes:

Not cooling / warm fresh food

Can be airflow, fan, defrost, control, or sealed-system related — testing confirms the cause.

Ice maker not working

Inlet valve, ice maker module, fill issues, frozen fill tube, or sensor/optics problems.

Leaks inside or on the floor

Defrost drain clogs, water line leaks, filter head, valve, or dispenser line issues.

Frost build-up

Defrost heater, thermostat/sensor, air leaks, or control/board issues.

Loud humming / clicking

Thermistors, user interface, control board, door seal problems, or temperature stability issues.

Fridge & Freezer Diagnosis (the right way)

Cooling problems can look the same from the outside. Diagnosis tells us whether it’s a fan/airflow issue, a defrost problem, a control issue, or something deeper.

Food Safety Quick Notes

Temperature targets

Refrigerator at or below 40°F, freezer at 0°F helps keep food safe.

Airflow matters

Overpacking and blocked vents can create warm zones even if the unit “seems” to run.

Coils & filters

Dirty condenser coils and overdue water filters can cause performance issues and strain.

My fridge is warm but the freezer is cold — what does that usually mean?

Often an airflow/defrost issue (or a fan problem) — but diagnosis confirms what’s actually happening.
