Common Refrigerator Problems We Service
A fridge that runs but won’t cool usually has one of four root causes. A proper diagnosis checks all of them before any parts are replaced.
Not cooling
Frost buildup on evaporator coils blocking airflow (defrost failure), failed evaporator fan motor, dirty/failing condenser, or sealed-system issue. If the freezer is cold but the fridge is warm, evap fan or defrost is almost always the cause.
Frozen-over back wall
On Samsung French door units: design issue with the evap-cover drain. Defrosting only buys 2–3 weeks. The real fix is a drain modification. On other brands: defrost system component (heater, thermostat, defrost board).
Ice maker not working
Filter clog (replace every 6 months — first thing to try), water inlet valve failure, ice maker module failure, frozen fill tube, or thermistor failure. Diagnosis sequence: filter → valve → module → fill tube.
Water dispenser issues
Filter clog, frozen water line behind the fridge, water inlet valve failure, or dispenser switch/control board failure. Most water-related symptoms start with the filter.
Loud compressor / clicking
On LG linear-compressor units: reed valve failure (compressor runs normally but doesn’t pump). On standard compressors: clicking means start relay; constant running with normal noise but no cooling means sealed-system issue.
Temperature fluctuating
Damper control failure, thermistor (temperature sensor) failure, control board issue, or defrost cycle running off-schedule. Diagnostic reads service-mode temperatures vs displayed temps.
Door seal / gasket failure
Gasket loses seal after years of use — warm air leaks in, compressor runs constantly, condensation forms inside. Replacement is straightforward; gasket runs $30–$100 depending on the platform.
Sealed system failure
Refrigerant leak, failed compressor, or restriction in capillary tube. Pressure testing confirms. EPA 608 certified for refrigerant handling, R-600a certified for hydrocarbon refrigerants on modern units.
Error codes
Brand-specific codes — Samsung 22E/40E, LG ER series, Whirlpool/Maytag PF/PO codes, Bosch E-codes. We diagnose against the platform’s service mode, not by guessing.
Don’t defrost the unit before we arrive — the failure state is diagnostic evidence. Schedule online or call.
Bosch & Thermador Refrigerator — Factory Authorized
Bosch refrigerators (300, 500, 800, and Benchmark series) and Thermador refrigerators (Freedom Collection columns, French door, bottom-freezer, and built-in column units) share the same BSH Group platform. Louisville Appliance Repair holds factory authorization for both brands — manufacturer-trained diagnostics, direct OEM parts access, and warranty-eligible repairs across the full BSH refrigeration lineup.
Common BSH refrigerator issues we service: not-cooling diagnostics across all sealed-system platforms, ice maker and water inlet valve failures, control board EA-series error codes (Thermador-specific), toe-kick condenser cleaning on Freedom Collection units, fan motor replacements, and sealed-system work where R-600a or R-134a is appropriate. As a BSH-authorized servicer we have access to manufacturer service documents and parts catalog that independent shops don’t.
