Refrigerator & Freezer Repair in Detroit, MI
A warm fridge is a race against spoiling groceries — and in Detroit's summer humidity, you don't have long. Motor City's certified refrigeration technicians diagnose why your fridge isn't cooling and fix it same-day, from a truck already stocked with the compressor, fan or control board it needs.
Cooling problems solved before your food spoils.
When a refrigerator stops holding temperature, the clock starts on hundreds of dollars of food. Our fridge and freezer repair service exists to stop that clock fast. We diagnose the real fault — not just the symptom — whether it's a sealed-system leak starving the evaporator, a defrost heater that quit, or a control board sending the wrong commands.
Across Detroit and the metro suburbs, our technicians repair side-by-sides, French-door units, top and bottom freezers, built-in columns and garage backup fridges. If it plugs in and it's supposed to stay cold, we fix it — and we test it holding a true 37°F fridge / 0°F freezer before we pack up.

Sound like your fridge?
Refrigerator not cooling
Fridge warm but freezer fine (or both warm) — evaporator fan, damper, or defrost fault. Our most common same-day repair.
Freezer leaking water
Puddles under the unit almost always trace to a clogged or frozen defrost drain. Quick to clear, quick to fix.
Frost / ice buildup
Frost coating the back wall or freezer means the auto-defrost system has failed. We replace the heater, thermostat or timer.
Compressor won't start
Clicking then silence, or a fridge that's dead quiet — start relay, overload or compressor. We test before we recommend.
Ice maker not working
No ice, jammed cubes or an overflowing tray — we repair the ice maker module, water valve and fill line.
Loud buzzing or clicking
New noises from the back usually mean a failing condenser or evaporator fan motor — cheap to fix before it kills cooling.
Other issues we handle: warm spots on one shelf, a fridge that runs constantly, door seal / gasket leaks, water dispenser problems, and error codes on Samsung and LG smart displays. If your refrigerator isn't behaving, there's a good chance we've fixed it this week.

Detroit homeowners on our fridge repairs
"Our fridge died with a full freezer the night before Thanksgiving. Marcus came out same day, replaced the fan, and saved the whole holiday. Unreal service."
"Two other companies wanted to sell me a new Sub-Zero. Motor City fixed mine for a fraction. Honest people who clearly know refrigeration."
"Freezer was leaking all over my basement. They found the frozen drain in ten minutes and had it fixed within the hour. Great price too."
Answers before you book
Why is my refrigerator not cooling but the freezer works?
Usually it's a failed evaporator fan, a frost-blocked air damper, or a defrost system fault stopping cold air from reaching the fridge compartment. Our Detroit technicians diagnose the exact cause on site and most often repair it the same day from truck stock.
Is it worth repairing a refrigerator or should I replace it?
If your fridge is under 8–10 years old, repair almost always beats a $1,500-plus replacement — especially for built-in and high-end units. We give you an honest repair-versus-replace recommendation with a written price before you decide.
How fast can you repair my fridge in Detroit?
Most Detroit-area refrigerator repairs booked before 1 PM are completed the same day. We carry 5,000+ parts on our trucks, so common fixes like fans, thermostats and defrost heaters rarely require a second visit.
Do you repair Sub-Zero and other built-in refrigerators?
Yes. We have certified technicians for Sub-Zero, Viking, Thermador and other built-in and luxury refrigerators, including sealed-system and dual-compressor units.
My freezer is leaking water onto the floor — can you fix it?
Yes. A leaking freezer is usually a clogged or frozen defrost drain, and it's a common same-day repair. We clear the drain, check the drain heater, and make sure it won't refreeze.
