A refrigerator that stops cooling puts your groceries at risk fast. We diagnose and repair all major refrigerator styles for homeowners and businesses throughout the Alexandria area.

Common problems we fix

  • Refrigerator Not Cooling or Barely Keeping Cold — The most common culprit is a dirty condenser coil or a failed condenser fan motor. When the coil can't release heat, the unit runs constantly but never reaches temperature. Cleaning or replacing the affected component usually restores normal operation.
  • Frost Building Up Inside the Refrigerator — Frost in the refrigerator compartment typically points to a failed defrost heater, thermostat, or timer. The defrost cycle stops running, ice accumulates on the evaporator, and airflow to the fresh-food section drops off.
  • Water Leaking Onto the Floor — A clogged defrost drain is the usual cause. Meltwater has nowhere to go and spills into the cabinet or onto the floor. The drain line needs to be cleared and, in some cases, a failed drain heater replaced.
  • Loud or Unusual Noises from the Unit — Rattling often comes from a worn evaporator or condenser fan blade. A buzzing or clicking noise that repeats every few minutes usually means the compressor is struggling to start. Each sound points to a specific component, which guides the repair.

What to Check Before You Call

A few quick checks can save you a service call. Make sure the temperature controls haven't been bumped. Pull the unit away from the wall and verify the condenser coils aren't packed with dust. Check that the door gaskets seal flat against the cabinet by closing the door on a dollar bill and tugging it. If it slides out easily, the gasket is worn and cold air is escaping.

  • Temperature set above 37°F in the fresh-food section
  • Coils behind or underneath caked with dust or pet hair
  • Door gasket cracked, torn, or no longer sealing flat
  • Unit tilted so the door won't stay closed on its own

How Central Louisiana's Climate Affects Your Refrigerator

Refrigerators in Central Louisiana work harder than the same unit would in a cooler, drier climate. The long, humid summers push the compressor to run longer cycles. Units kept in garages or carports face the worst of it. Heat and humidity together accelerate wear on condenser fans, compressor start relays, and door gaskets. Mold along the door seals is also common here and is often mistaken for a simple cleaning issue when the gasket itself needs replacing.

Repair or Replace: How to Think Through It

Age and the cost of the failed part are the two factors that matter most. A compressor replacement on a unit over ten years old rarely makes financial sense. But a failed defrost thermostat or a worn door gasket is a straightforward fix on any age of machine. We'll tell you what failed, what the repair involves, and let you make the call.

  • Sealed system failures (compressor, refrigerant) on older units often favor replacement
  • Control boards, fans, and thermostats are usually worth fixing
  • French door and bottom-freezer models have higher replacement costs, which shifts the math toward repair
How long can I leave food in a refrigerator that stopped cooling?
The FDA's guideline is four hours once the unit stops maintaining 40°F or below. After that, perishables like meat, dairy, and prepared foods should be discarded. A refrigerator thermometer gives you a reliable read rather than guessing.
Do you work on older refrigerators?
Yes. Older units, especially those common in Alexandria's established neighborhoods, are often straightforward to repair. Parts availability varies by brand and age, but many components for older machines are still in production or available through suppliers.
My refrigerator runs constantly but won't get cold. Is that the compressor?
Not necessarily. A constantly running unit that won't cool is more often caused by dirty condenser coils, a failed condenser fan, or a refrigerant leak. The compressor is one possibility, but it's usually not the first thing we look at.
Can a refrigerator lose its refrigerant over time?
Refrigerant doesn't deplete on its own. If the charge is low, there's a leak somewhere in the sealed system. Finding and repairing the leak comes before any refrigerant is added. Simply recharging without fixing the leak won't hold.
