Refrigerator Not Cooling? Same-Day Repair in Gainesville, VA
A refrigerator that stops cooling puts hundreds of dollars of food at risk. The most common causes are a failed evaporator fan, a faulty thermostat, or a dirty condenser coil — all of which our technicians service same-day in Gainesville, Haymarket, and Bristow. We'll diagnose the exact issue, quote the repair upfront, and work to get your fridge back to temperature fast.
Common Causes
Dirty Condenser Coils
Dust buildup forces the system to overwork and lose cooling efficiency. A thorough cleaning often restores normal temperatures.
Faulty Evaporator Fan Motor
If you hear the compressor running but feel no cold air inside, the evaporator fan likely needs replacement.
Bad Thermostat or Temperature Control
A defective thermostat sends incorrect signals, causing the fridge to run too warm or cycle erratically.
Failed Start Relay
The start relay helps the compressor kick on. When it fails, the compressor won't run and cooling stops entirely.
What You Can Check First
Try these before calling for service — they may resolve a simple issue.
Verify the temperature is set between 35°F and 38°F
Check that vents inside the fridge and freezer aren't blocked by food
Pull the fridge out and vacuum dust off the condenser coils on the back or bottom
Listen for the compressor — if it's silent, the issue may be electrical
