Common Refrigerator Problems

Refrigerators are essential appliances that require regular maintenance and prompt repairs when issues arise. Here are some of the most common problems homeowners encounter:

1. Refrigerator Not Cooling

If your refrigerator isn’t keeping food cold, it could be due to:

  • Dirty condenser coils preventing heat dissipation
  • Faulty evaporator fan motor disrupting air circulation
  • Malfunctioning thermostat failing to regulate temperature
  • Compressor issues affecting cooling power

2. Excessive Frost or Ice Buildup

A refrigerator with too much frost may indicate:

  • Faulty defrost heater or thermostat
  • Damaged door gaskets allowing warm air inside
  • Malfunctioning defrost timer failing to regulate cooling cycles

3. Water Leaks

Leaks from your fridge can be caused by:

  • Clogged or frozen defrost drain
  • Damaged water inlet valve
  • Improperly connected or cracked water supply line

4. Refrigerator Making Loud Noises

Unusual sounds from your refrigerator could be due to:

  • Worn-out condenser or evaporator fan motors
  • Loose compressor components
  • Ice buildup interfering with fan operation

5. Refrigerator Runs Constantly

If your fridge is always running and not cycling off, it may be due to:

  • Dirty condenser coils reducing efficiency
  • Malfunctioning thermostat causing improper cooling regulation
  • Faulty door seals letting cold air escape

6. Ice Maker Not Working

A broken ice maker can be frustrating. Common causes include:

  • Blocked or frozen water supply lines
  • Malfunctioning water inlet valve
  • Defective ice maker motor or control board

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How long does a refrigerator repair take?

Most refrigerator repairs take 1-2 hours, depending on the issue and parts needed. Our technicians work efficiently to minimize downtime.

How much does refrigerator repair cost?

The cost varies based on the type of repair, but we provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees.

Should I repair or replace my refrigerator?

If your refrigerator is less than 10 years old, repairing it is usually the best option. However, if it has frequent issues or a major component failure, replacement may be more cost-effective.

What brands of refrigerators do you repair?

We repair all major brands, including Whirlpool, GE, Samsung, LG, Maytag, Frigidaire, Kenmore, and more.

Can I fix my refrigerator myself?

While minor maintenance, like cleaning condenser coils, can be done by homeowners, electrical and mechanical repairs should be left to professionals for safety and effectiveness.

How often should I service my refrigerator?

Regular maintenance is recommended once a year to ensure peak performance and prevent major breakdowns.

We finally figured out to stop the pump to the well. Then I got news that Dor Mar could send someone today, and I was so excited!! Seth got here looked at everything, gave us a very reasonable quote and we agreed. He found a second leak and fixed that. I am very happy with his work, and have calmed down from the nite before.

Terri GuoTerri Guo ★☆☆☆☆ We paid the yearly maintenance fees, they didn’t do the maintenance at all only charged for the money, the maintenance guy said my furnace need to put a UV light to kills the moisture, when he came he told me our water heater need to be replaced and he said if we buy the water heater from them he’ll install the UV LIGHT for free at least 50% off, and clean it for free. After we replaced the water heater they didn’t do it, we still paid a lot money for the UV LIGHT and they didn’t clean it at all so DisappointedResponse from the ownerWe appologize that you have had your maintenace reasxheduled a couple of times Terri, unfortunely with the heat wave we expirienced all working units had to be moved off of the schedule to take care of people without working ACs. As far as the UV light our record indicates extensive notes on where we installed a UV light at one of your properties and that you canceled the one for your home address. If you wish to further discuss your issues you may reach out to our office. Dorothy McCulloughDorothy McCullough ★★★★★ Trevor did an awesome job. He was so professional and nice.Response from the ownerThank you for leaving your tech a great review! John MJohn M ★☆☆☆☆ We experienced some mixups with their after hours phone service but then finally the tech shows up and says "I called my boss and we don't service geo-thermal systems" When we explicitly told them that is the system we had and they show on their web site as servicing/installing geo-thermal. in the end it was just a run around and ended up going with another company that worked out great.Response from the ownerWe apologize for the miscomunication John, we are currently working to correct the issue with our Live Services to further inform them on vthe types of units we do not service. We have also double checked our services lsited on our website and Geothermal units are not on that list. Again we apologize for the miscomunication and are working to ensure this doesnt happen again. Josh HarshbargerJosh Harshbarger ★★★★★ Anthony was so great! Polite, knowledgeable, and efficient. Thanks for repairing our leaks!Phyllis NelsonPhyllis Nelson ★★★★★ Response from the ownerWe appreciate the 5-star rating Phyllis! Tanya ClarkstonTanya Clarkston ★★★★★ Great service! Friendly! Calob B was fast, efficient, friendly & knowledgeable!Response from the ownerThank you Tanya for leaving your tech a great review! Aaron JacksonAaron Jackson ★★★★★ Response from the ownerWe appreciate the 5-star review Aaron! Josh PratherJosh Prather ★★★★★ Good all around.Response from the ownerThank you for the 5-star review Josh! Lee annLee ann ★☆☆☆☆ DorMar does my sister’s HVAC and she has a yearly maintenance contract. SHE is unable by phone or text due to an illness. DorMar came out 3 times during my time as my sister’s Personal Home Manager and POA (in writing). A supply vent has mold and now and they are refusing to come to investigate and/ot provide a quote to fix this serious problem on their work. Even with my sister’s permission in writing and agreement to pay DorMar - they refuse to come to investigate mold on a supply register. Delaying service is going to make it worse and could be deadly.Response from the ownerUnfortunetly Lee, when it comes to scheduling services outside of the maintenace agreement that has been paid for by your sister we have to have consent straight from your her or a legal document stating you are POA and can make decisions for the property. Our system tracks every phone call and we have it on record that on 6/27/2025 in a phone call between you and one of our CSRs that you are not POA this means you are not able to schedule these appointments. Legally we are not able to schedule anything without that documentation or consent straight from your sister. If you are able to provide either of those we will be happy to schedule a service to inspect the issues going on in the Ductwork/HVAC in the home. WAYNE LWAYNE L ★☆☆☆☆ My ac stopped working this evening. This company claims 24 hours service but reluctant to provide service for 2 days. What happened to prompt service? The lady on the phone couldn't speak clear English. This company claims prompt service but fails to do so.Response from the ownerUnfortunetly Wayne with the heat wave we have had this past week our schedule has been booked a couple days in advanced for this entire past week. We always try our best to do same day service but our schedule can still book up. Dorothy MoorheadDorothy Moorhead ★★★★★ Service call yesterday for issue of short run and inefficient cooling after being inspected 3 weeks ago and deemed in good working order resulted in discovery of king valve being mostly closed and starving system of coolent then the system being bleed down to where it had to be shut down due too tech having trouble disconnecting equipment (reverse threads) .As tech didn’t have coolant on His truck - received text schedule for today between 8-12 to recharge the system - now 1:25 and still waitingSean GradySean Grady ★★★★★ DorMar was quick to respond during a heat wave for my AC being out. The tech (Greg) was quick and professional. Thank you!Response from the ownerThank you Sean for leaving a great review about your expirience! Ken NethersKen Nethers ★☆☆☆☆ My girlfriend had their so called tech come to the house 6/21 /25, he trampled her flowers just to break his meter out and tell her your ac is fried, $7000 to replace, called her nephew the next day, he fixed a burnt wire end ( it gave no reading), trimmed it and bam works like new. They charged $250, to work 10 minutes , trample flowers and leave everything unhooked. Never again will they rob me of my money or time, lousy tech and service. Ps ac is 1997 works fineResponse from the ownerWe apologize that you had such a poor expirience with our technician, we are currently dealing with the issue to ensure it doesn happen again. We appreciate the honest feedback and letting us know what went wrong with your appointment. Yalin LiuYalin Liu ★☆☆☆☆ Worst customer service. Been understanding and trying to work with their schedule, rescheduled my paid maintained twice already, when they called third time to reschedule I refused. their response is nothing they can do. And they can’t refund my money. Not recommended.Response from the ownerWe are sorry you have been rescheduled more than once Yalin, unfortunetly with the heat wave we have expirienced since last week we have had an abundant amount of non working units on our schedule, and being short staffed we are trying our best to keep Prevantative maintenaces scheduled when we can but we arent always able to keep working units scheduled. S HawkinsS Hawkins ★★★★★ Anthony was greatResponse from the ownerThank you for leaving our tech a great review! Rupal ShahRupal Shah ★☆☆☆☆ Horrible customer service. Worse follow through. Poor Management and Leadership.We called Dor Mar because we were having issues with our heater. Here is a timeline of what happened on the days they came:--Feb 21: They came but the technicians didn't do anything because they didn't know what to do.--Feb 26: They came and broke the heater. They admitted to it, which led to further issues. The bigger issue is that we had no heat after that for several days. I called Dor Mar three times after that to get them to urgently come and make repairs.--Feb 28: They said they would come and fix the issues but no one from Dor Mar came. So I called again.--Mar 1: A technician came and started to fix things. At that time, gas started leaking and smelling throughout the house. Therefore, he stopped the work and left the house. So i called again and asked for someone to come who knows what they are doing.--Mar 3: They finally came and fixed the issues. Heat didn't start working again until Mar 3.During that time frame, employees Dave, Trevon, and Brad from Dor Mar because each of them worked on our house and not only did it take several tries, in between that time it caused us inconvenience from Feb 21 to Mar 3 because we didn't have heat and the day of the gas leak we had to open all windows/doors in the entire house and air it out. This was all happening during a time when the weather was cold!!!I called their operations manager 3 times with no response and emailed them 2 times with no response. I would pay the bill but I was asking for a discount or some compensation for the gross negligence caused by lack of heat, and gas leakage. They provided no discount, no apologies for the issues caused, and no response to any of my inquiries.To this day, no one called me back. No one emailed me back. Instead, they kept sending me invoices every few days for the full amount to pay them which was close to $2000.I am disappointed in their customer service. I would summarize them as have poorly trained technicians and staff, and even worse management and leadership etiquette. I would never recommended them and hope people read my review before considering them.js_loader
