Refrigerator repair in Ocoee, FL
A refrigerator that stops cooling can spoil groceries within hours, so we treat fridge calls as a priority. Whether it's warm inside, leaking on the floor, or running louder than usual, our technicians diagnose the cause on-site and give you a clear price before starting any repair.
What we fix
Common refrigerator problems we see in Ocoee homes
Most fridge issues fall into one of these categories. Recognizing the symptom helps us bring the right parts on the first visit.
Refrigerator not cooling
Usually points to a failing compressor, a blocked condenser coil, or a bad start relay. If the freezer still works but the fridge side is warm, it's often a blocked air duct or a faulty evaporator fan.
Water pooling underneath
Often caused by a clogged or frozen defrost drain, a cracked drain pan, or a door seal that's no longer sealing tight. This is usually one of the more affordable repairs.
Loud or unusual noises
A buzzing or rattling sound often traces back to the condenser fan or evaporator fan motor. A humming that gets louder over time can signal a compressor under strain. See our guide on 6 causes of refrigerator noise for more detail.
Frost buildup in the freezer
A heavy layer of frost usually means the automatic defrost system has failed — commonly the defrost heater, thermostat, or timer — causing the unit to run less efficiently.
Ice maker not working
Little or no ice production is often a frozen fill tube or a faulty water inlet valve. We check the water line, valve, and ice maker module before replacing any parts.
Higher than normal energy bills
A refrigerator working harder than it should — due to dirty coils, a weak door seal, or a failing compressor — can quietly add real cost to your electric bill each month.
What it costs
Refrigerator repair pricing, explained upfront
Every refrigerator and every failure is a little different, but here's the general range you can expect once a technician has diagnosed the issue.
A diagnostic visit is charged separately, but that fee is applied toward the repair if you move forward with it that same day.
Should you repair or replace?
Most refrigerators are built to last 13 to 17 years. As a general rule, if your fridge is under 10 years old and the repair costs less than half the price of a comparable new unit, repairing it is the more cost-effective choice. Once a compressor fails on an older unit, replacement usually makes more sense. Your technician will lay out both options honestly before any work begins. Read more in our repair-or-replace guide.

Refrigerator repair FAQs
Why is my refrigerator not cooling but the freezer still works?+
This usually points to a blocked air duct between the freezer and fresh food sections, or a failing evaporator fan motor that isn't circulating cold air properly. A failing defrost system can also cause ice to block that airflow.
Why is water pooling under my refrigerator?+
The most common cause is a clogged or frozen defrost drain line, which backs up and overflows onto the floor. A cracked drain pan or a worn door seal can also be the source.
How long do refrigerators usually last?+
Most refrigerators are designed to last 13 to 17 years with normal use and basic maintenance, like keeping the condenser coils clean.
Is it worth fixing an older refrigerator?+
Usually, yes, if the unit is under 10 years old and the repair cost is less than half the price of a new comparable fridge. Beyond that point, especially with a compressor failure, replacement often becomes the better value.
Do you repair built-in and counter-depth refrigerators?+
Yes, including built-in, counter-depth, French door, side-by-side, and top or bottom freezer models from all major brands.
