It runs constantly and never shuts off Points to dirty condenser coils, a failing condenser fan, or a sealed system that's low on refrigerant and can't reach setpoint.
Clicking every few minutes, then silence That's usually the compressor start relay trying and failing, or a compressor that won't come up to speed.

Refrigerator Repair in East Chattanooga — quick answers

How long can food stay safe while I wait for a repair?

A closed fridge holds safe temperature about four hours; a full freezer, roughly 48. Keep the doors shut and move perishables to a cooler with ice. If the unit has been warm longer than that, throw out meat and dairy.

Is it worth repairing an older refrigerator?

Depends on what failed. A fan motor, thermostat, or defrost heater on a well-built unit is usually worth doing. A failed compressor or a leak in the sealed system on a very old fridge is a harder conversation, and we'll be straight with you about it.

My fridge is loud. Is that an emergency?

Not usually, but noise tells us a lot. Buzzing often traces to the condenser fan or a start relay. A rhythmic ticking can be a fan blade hitting frost. Note when the sound happens and where it comes from before you call.

Do you work on built-in and counter-depth models?

Yes. Built-ins, counter-depth French doors, side-by-sides, bottom freezers, and standard top mounts. We're an independent shop and service all major brands. Tell us the brand and model number on the interior tag so the tech arrives prepared.

How soon can you get to my house in East Chattanooga?

Call us and we'll go over the open windows on our schedule. Since East Chattanooga sits minutes from downtown and East Ridge, we can often group nearby stops on the same run. Have your model and serial number handy — it's on a tag inside the door or along the frame — so we can check part availability before we head out.

How it works

Step 1
Tell us the symptom
Call us or fill out the form. Describe what the appliance does and does not do. Noises, error codes, smells, puddles. Brand and model help. That detail lets us plan the visit right.
Step 2
We diagnose in person
A technician comes to your kitchen or laundry room and tests the machine instead of guessing. Controls, heating parts, motors, seals, drains. You hear what failed and what the repair involves before work starts.
Step 3
You approve the repair
Nothing gets replaced until you say go. Common parts are handled on site when we have them. If a part must be ordered, we tell you that up front and schedule the return.
