What we see most

The pattern tells us where to look. Warm fridge with a cold freezer means air isn't moving — the evaporator fan, or a frozen-over coil from a failed defrost heater, thermostat or control. Both sections warm points to the compressor side: start relay, condenser fan, dirty coils, and only rarely the sealed system itself. We carry fans, relays, defrost parts and thermostats for the major brands, diagnose on the spot and quote the exact price before any work. If it is a sealed-system failure on an old unit, we say so and don't sell you a repair that isn't worth it.

Food in a warm fridge is safe for about four hours — call as soon as you notice, and move the freezer items to a cooler.

Honest pricing, local techs

Every repair starts with a clear quote: you approve the exact price before any work begins, and the $79 diagnostic is waived when you go ahead with the repair. We cover Pinellas and Hillsborough — St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Largo, Tampa and the towns in between.

Frequently asked questions

Why is my fridge warm but the freezer is cold?

Cold air isn't reaching the fridge section: the evaporator fan has failed or the coil is frozen solid because the defrost system stopped. Both are standard repairs.

Why is my refrigerator not cooling at all?

Usually the start relay, the condenser fan or coils packed with dust — the compressor itself fails less often than people fear. We test all of it before quoting.

How much does refrigerator repair cost?

The $79 diagnostic is waived with the repair. Fans, relays and defrost parts are modest; you approve the exact price before we start.

Is it worth repairing a 10-year-old fridge?

Often yes — a fan or relay repair is a fraction of a new unit. If it is a compressor or sealed-system failure on an older fridge, we tell you straight and you pay only the diagnostic.
