Refrigerator repair in New York

Almost exclusively, yes. Premium built-in refrigerators (like Sub-Zero, Thermador, or Miele) are engineered to last 20+ years. The cost of a new built-in unit often exceeds $12,000, plus the significant expense of carpentry to fit the new unit into your existing cabinetry. Replacing a compressor, evaporator, or control board is a fraction of that cost and restores the unit to factory specifications for many more years of service.

Not necessarily. While compressor failure is possible, warm temperatures are more often caused by dirty condenser coils restricting airflow, a failed evaporator fan, or a defrost system issue. In high-end dual-compressor systems, one side (freezer) might work while the other (fridge) fails. We perform a segmented diagnostic to pinpoint exactly which component is at fault, avoiding unnecessary expensive replacements.

Water inside the fresh food compartment typically indicates a clogged defrost drain line. The system tries to drain meltwater, hits a blockage, and overflows. Water on the floor can be a cracked drain pan or a leak in the water supply line behind the unit. We carry specialized tools to clear internal drain blockages and seal leaks to protect your expensive hardwood flooring.

A clicking sound usually points to a start-relay struggling to engage the compressor, which can lead to cooling failure within hours. Buzzing often comes from an ice-buildup hitting a fan blade or a vibrating coil. We recommend scheduling service immediately when noises start, as catching a struggling component early can prevent a total system failure and food spoilage.

Yes, we specialize in "hidden" appliances. We understand that removing a fully integrated refrigerator requires specific techniques to avoid damaging the heavy custom panels or the surrounding millwork. Our technicians use floor protection and specialized glides to access the mechanical components safely without disturbing your kitchen’s design.
