My fridge is only a few years old. Should I call you or the manufacturer?

Check your coverage first. If the manufacturer still covers it, start there. If not, we diagnose it and give you the price before any work.

Why is my refrigerator sweating on the outside in summer?

High humidity condenses on door edges and the cabinet. A torn gasket or a failed mullion heater on a French-door model makes it worse, and we check both.

What Fails on Newer Fridges

Builder packages in Summerfield, Panther Trace and Boyette Springs often included a top-freezer or side-by-side model, and many owners have since moved to French-door units with a dispenser. Common failures include evaporator fan motors, defrost heaters and sensors, and dispenser water valves. A cold freezer beside a warm fresh-food section usually means frost is blocking the airflow.

If the fridge came with a recent home purchase, look through the closing paperwork. The manufacturer may still cover the repair, which is worth knowing before you pay anyone.

Garages and Carports Near the Bay

In Gibsonton, a second fridge often lives in a garage or carport, and salt air from Hillsborough Bay starts rust low on the cabinet where nobody looks. A clean condenser and a dry base slow it down. In Riverview townhomes, a fridge squeezed into a tight opening sheds heat poorly. The technician explains what failed and the cost before starting, and orders a model-specific part when needed.

Before You Book: Refrigerator Checks

Safe first steps for the most urgent refrigerator problems, and when to leave it to a technician.

Not Cooling: Make sure nobody has knocked the temperature dial or display to off or to a warmer setting, then take off the grille at the base and see whether dust is packed onto the condenser coil.
Freezer Not Freezing: With the freezer open, hold in the door switch and listen for the fan, and move any food that is blocking the air vent on the back wall.
Leaking Water: Close the refrigerator's water supply, dry the floor, and watch whether water comes back; if it returns with the supply off, the drain or defrost system is the more likely source.
Compressor Failure: This is not a do-it-yourself repair: the compressor sits inside the sealed refrigerant circuit. Only note whether a click repeats from the back every few minutes, and pass that along to the technician.
