A refrigerator that is not cooling properly can put groceries at risk and may indicate a problem with airflow, defrost, controls, or the sealed system.

Appliance Repair Pro provides professional refrigerator diagnosis and repair across Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley. We inspect the appliance, explain the findings in clear language, and present the repair option before approved work begins.

What We Inspect

Depending on the symptoms and model, diagnosis may include evaporator and condenser fans, defrost heaters and sensors, thermostats, dampers, drain systems, control boards, inverter systems, door gaskets, and sealed-system performance.

Cooling symptoms often overlap. A blocked drain, failed fan, defrost fault, sensor problem, or sealed-system restriction can produce similar results, so testing is essential before parts are recommended.

How Refrigerator Repair Works

1. Diagnose

We reproduce the symptom when safe, inspect the relevant systems, and test likely causes rather than selecting parts from the symptom alone.

2. Explain

You receive a clear explanation of what was found, which repair is recommended, and whether a model-specific part or return visit is required.

3. Repair & Test

After approval, the repair is completed when practical. The appliance is then tested to confirm operation of the serviced function.

Clear Repair Decisions

Not every appliance should automatically be repaired. We consider the failure, overall condition, age, parts availability, repair cost, and previous history. If the repair appears impractical, we will explain why. Our goal is to give you useful information for a sound repair-or-replace decision—not to recommend unnecessary work.

We serve houses, condos, townhomes, rental units, strata properties, and property-managed residences. When booking, provide the brand, model number, error code, and a short description of the problem whenever possible.

Refrigerator Repair FAQ

Why is my refrigerator running but not cooling?

The cause may involve airflow, a fan, the defrost system, temperature sensing, controls, the compressor circuit, or the sealed system. Diagnosis is needed to separate these possibilities.

Some repairs can be completed immediately when the required part is available. Model-specific parts or sealed-system work may require a return visit.

Common causes include a door not sealing, a damaged gasket, a defrost-system fault, blocked airflow, or moisture entering the compartment.

The decision depends on age, condition, repair cost, parts availability, energy use, and whether the sealed system is involved. We explain the findings so you can decide.
