A fridge is the one appliance you can't leave for a week, which is why we treat them as priority calls. Most fridge faults we attend in Mississauga are not the compressor, despite that being everyone's first fear — they're the defrost system, a fan motor, a thermostat or a door seal, and all of those are repairable on a machine that isn't ancient.

Before you call: If your fridge has stopped cooling entirely, move what you can to a cooler or a neighbour's freezer and call us — the sooner we're there the less you lose.

Symptoms, causes and fixes

Find your symptom below. This is genuinely how we work through a call — it may also tell you the fault is something you can clear yourself, in which case you've saved a visit.

SymptomLikely causeWhat the fix involves
Fridge warm, freezer still coldFailed evaporator fan motor, or a defrost fault icing over the evaporator coilReplace the fan motor or defrost heater/thermostat. Usually a same-visit repair.
Both compartments warm, unit running constantlyClogged condenser coils, failed condenser fan, or a sealed-system problemClean and test first. If it's the sealed system on an older unit, we'll usually advise replacing.
Water pooling inside or under the crisperBlocked defrost drain tubeClear the drain and flush the line.
Water on the floor in frontCracked water line, failed inlet valve, or a blocked drain overflowingTrace and replace the failed component. Worth doing promptly before flooring is damaged.
Ice maker not producingFrozen fill tube, failed inlet valve, or a jammed auger motorThaw and identify. Very common on French-door models.
Loud buzzing or clickingFailing start relay, condenser fan hitting debris, or a compressor strugglingThe relay is a common failure; the compressor is the one that decides repair versus replace.
Freezer frosting up heavilyDefrost heater or thermostat failure, or a door seal letting humid air inReplace the defrost component or the gasket.

The ones worth understanding

Sealed-system failures

A refrigerant leak or failed compressor is the one fridge fault that usually isn't worth repairing on a domestic machine past about eight years. We'll identify it clearly and tell you straight rather than quoting a repair we don't believe in.

Door seals

A perished gasket makes the compressor run continuously, spikes your hydro bill, and frosts the freezer. It's also one of the faults people ignore for longest.

Second fridges in garages and basements

Very common across Mississauga and a frequent false alarm. Below roughly 10°C ambient, a standard fridge thermostat stops calling for cooling and the freezer thaws — nothing is broken. Garage-ready models handle it; most don't.

Repair or replace?

Under eight years old, repair is nearly always the right call. Eight to twelve, it depends on the component — a fan motor or defrost heater yes, a sealed-system repair usually no. Past twelve years we'd only recommend repairing if the part is still well supported.

We don't publish flat rates, because the same symptom can have a minor cause or a major one and any number we printed would be wrong for someone. Here's how the money works instead: We charge a diagnostic fee on the first visit, payable that day. If you go ahead with the repair, that fee comes off the final bill. If you decide not to proceed, it covers the callout and the technician's time. You get the repair price before any work starts, and every repair carries 30 days on parts and labour for the same issue.

Questions

How long does a fridge repair take?
Most are finished in a single visit of under two hours. Where a part has to be ordered, we tell you the timeline before you commit and book the return visit then.
My fridge is cold but the freezer isn't. What's that?
Usually the opposite of the common case, and it typically points to a failed damper or a defrost fault specific to the freezer compartment. It's diagnosable quickly.
Do you repair built-in and panel-ready fridges?
Yes — Sub-Zero, Thermador, Miele and Bosch built-in included. These take longer because the cabinet panels have to come off, and parts access varies by model, so the diagnostic visit confirms what's possible first.
Is the diagnostic free?
We charge a diagnostic fee on the first visit, payable that day. If you go ahead with the repair, that fee comes off the final bill. If you decide not to proceed, it covers the callout and the technician's time.
Is it worth repairing or should I replace it?
Under eight years old, repair is nearly always the right call. Eight to twelve, it depends on the component — a fan motor or defrost heater yes, a sealed-system repair usually no. Past twelve years we'd only recommend repairing if the part is still well supported.
How soon can you come out?
Usually the same day or the next. We're open 7am – midnight, 7 days a week and cover all of Mississauga plus Etobicoke, Oakville, Milton and Brampton.
