Home > Refrigerator Repair > Refrigerator Not Cooling
You open the fridge and the milk is barely cold. The light works, you can hear something running, but the temperature keeps climbing. A refrigerator that is not cooling is the most urgent appliance problem there is, because every hour costs food. The good news: in most Houston homes the cause is one of a handful of repairable faults, and only rarely is it the compressor everyone fears.
If the fridge is still warm after the checks above, if you see heavy frost on the freezer back wall, hear clicking every few minutes, or the compressor feels extremely hot, it is time for a technician. These point to fan, defrost or sealed-system faults that need meters and parts, not patience.

"Our Samsung fridge stopped cooling on a Sunday and the food was warming up fast. The technician came the same day, found a failed fan motor, and had it running cold again in about an hour. Honest price, no pressure."
Maria G. — Memorial, Houston
"Washer was leaking all over the laundry room floor. They found a cracked drain pump, replaced it on the spot, and tested two full cycles before leaving. Dry floor, quiet machine. Very happy."
James T. — Katy
"LG dryer was not heating at all. The tech checked everything with his meter, showed me the burnt heating element, and replaced it the same visit. Clothes dry in one cycle again."
Priya S. — Sugar Land

Perishables are generally safe for about 4 hours above 40°F if the door stays closed. Keep the door shut as much as possible while you arrange the repair — every opening dumps the remaining cold air.
One system cools both sections, and a fan pushes cold air into the fridge. A dead fan, iced-up coils or a blocked damper starves the fridge while the freezer stays cold. It is the single most common pattern we see.
In most cases yes — fans, relays, defrost parts and gaskets are all modest repairs. We test the sealed system too and will tell you honestly if the compressor has failed.
Always. The technician first diagnoses the problem, then gives you one flat quote. We only start the repair after you approve the price, and the quote does not change at the end.
