SYMPTOM · FRIDGE-ONLY · ORANGE COUNTY
Fridge warm but freezer cold.
The mechanism that distributes cold air to the fridge compartment has failed. The most common version of "fridge not cooling."
Common causes for this symptom.
-
Damper door motor failed.
The motorized flap that opens to push cold air into the fridge has stopped, so cold stays trapped in the freezer.
-
Evaporator fan motor failed.
The fan in the freezer that pushes air toward the fridge no longer spins. Common on units 5–7 years old.
-
Thermistor at the wrong temperature.
The temperature sensor in the fridge compartment is reading wrong, so the unit thinks it does not need cooling.
-
Control board fault.
The main board is no longer signaling the damper or fan to run. Less common, but seen on Samsung, LG, and integrated Sub-Zero units.

I couldn't recommend this company more highly. I have used them several times and found Ivan to be knowledgeable, responsive, honest and courteous. He has saved me from buying a new refrigerator twice and unlike so many vendors, he is always able to diagnose the problem quickly and always knows how to fix it. If you want someone reliable who truly knows his craft and is always fair and reasonable, call We Fix Fridges!

We have used this company several times now. I wanted to leave a review because Ivan really went above and beyond for this last repair the day before a big holiday weekend. He saved us! 100% recommend him. Besides being so knowledgeable which helps with diagnosis to repairs he is courteous and timely and we have found his prices to be very fair. It's hard to find a trustworthy reliable repair person. We have Ivan on text now!

Highly recommended. Been in business with Ivan 3 different times with different appliances and all were satisfactory with problem fixed. He even figured out an indirect minor issue and fixed it for us with no charge without us asking for it. Ivan will be the first one I call in any cases of an appliance that needs repair.
