Repair or replace your refrigerator?

A simple rule of thumb: if the repair costs more than half the price of a comparable new unit and the appliance is near the end of its life, replacement may make more sense.

A refrigerator typically lasts – and costs $1,400–$2,800 to replace — so most faults under about $450 are worth fixing. We'll always tell you honestly when a repair isn't worth your money.

Keep your refrigerator running

Simple habits that prevent the most common the GTA repairs.

  • Vacuum the condenser coils once a year — the single biggest cause of avoidable repairs.
  • Keep a 2-inch gap behind and above the fridge so it can shed heat.
  • Change the water filter every 6 months to protect the icemaker and dispenser.
  • Check the door gaskets seal fully; replace them as soon as they tear or harden.
  • Keep the freezer at -18°C and don't block the interior vents with food.
  • Clear the defrost drain once a year to prevent leaks.

Frequently asked questions

Why is my fridge not cooling?
The compressor hums but the interior is warm, or you hear a fan struggling/iced-up behind the rear freezer panel. Most common cause: Iced-over evaporator coil from a failed defrost system (heater, thermostat, or control). A typical repair is $330–$470, including the $149.95 diagnostic credited 100% toward your repair.
Why is my freezer cold but the fridge warm?
The freezer is frozen solid but the refrigerator compartment is warm — the most confusing fridge fault. Most common cause: Iced-over evaporator coil or a failed evaporator fan not pushing cold air up to the fridge section. A typical repair is $320–$460, including the $149.95 diagnostic credited 100% toward your repair.
Why is my fridge leaking water?
Water pools under the crisper drawers or runs out onto the floor at the front base. Most common cause: Frozen/blocked defrost drain tube (water overflows the trough). A typical repair is $190–$300, including the $149.95 diagnostic credited 100% toward your repair.
Why is my freezer building up frost?
Frost sheets or ice chunks build on the freezer walls, ceiling, or around the fan — sometimes days after you clear it. Most common cause: Failed defrost system (defrost heater, thermostat/sensor, or timer/control). A typical repair is $310–$450, including the $149.95 diagnostic credited 100% toward your repair.
Why is my ice maker not working?
The bin is empty, the mould never fills or never harvests; sometimes a faint motor hum with no water. Most common cause: Frozen fill tube or failed water-inlet valve (no water reaching the mould). A typical repair is $260–$420, including the $149.95 diagnostic credited 100% toward your repair.
Why is my water dispenser not working?
The door dispenser gives no water (or only a slow trickle), while ice may or may not still work. Most common cause: Frozen water line in the door or freezer. A typical repair is $260–$400, including the $149.95 diagnostic credited 100% toward your repair.
Why is my fridge buzzing or humming loudly?
A loud hum or buzz from the back (condenser fan/compressor) or a fan-blade-hitting-ice sound from the freezer. Most common cause: Failing condenser fan motor bearings. A typical repair is $280–$370, including the $149.95 diagnostic credited 100% toward your repair.
Why does my fridge run constantly?
The fridge runs continuously and never cycles off, often with a warmer-than-usual back and higher energy use. Most common cause: Dirty condenser coils making the compressor work to hold temperature. A typical repair is $250–$430, including the $149.95 diagnostic credited 100% toward your repair.
Do you charge for the diagnostic?
The diagnostic is a flat $149.95, and it is credited 100% toward your repair — so if you go ahead with the fix, it isn't an extra charge.
How soon can you come out?
Same-day & next-day appointments available across the GTA. Call (647) 490-7878 and we'll give you the next available slot.
