Not Running
Faulty start relay, defective overload protector, or a control board issue. Your refrigerator is back up and running.
Refrigerator Repair by Brand
Different brands fail in predictable ways. Here's what shows up most in Denver homes.
Samsung Refrigerator Repair (RF28 / RF23 French Door)
Samsung French Door refrigerators are among the most common repair calls in Denver. The RF28 and RF23 series have two predictable failure points: the water inlet valve (produces "humming, no ice/water" symptoms) and the ice maker assembly. Oem Samsung inlet valves on the truck — most ice/water dispenser failures are resolved in a single visit. Denver's dry climate also accelerates door gasket degradation on these models, causing warm spots and frost buildup.
LG Refrigerator Repair (Linear Compressor Models)
LG's inverter linear compressors are efficient but have a known failure pattern around years 5–7 — the compressor stops starting. If your LG is under warranty, LG often covers compressor replacement; coordination is available. Out of warranty, compressor replacement runs $400–$600 and is worth doing on a machine under 8 years old. Also common: defrost sensor failures and fill tube freezing on LG French Door models — both are half-day repairs.
Sub-Zero Refrigerator Repair (500 / 700 / Pro 48 Series)
Sub-Zero refrigerators are built to last 20+ years and are nearly always worth repairing. The most common service call: condenser coil cleaning — Sub-Zero recommends cleaning every 12 months, but most owners go 3–5 years, causing the compressor to overwork and the unit to run warm. Evaporator fan failures, door gasket replacements, and control board issues on 500, 700, and Pro 48 series. Sub-Zero repair costs more than standard brands due to OEM part pricing, but given the 20+ year lifespan, it's almost always the right financial choice.
Whirlpool, KitchenAid & GE / GE Profile
Whirlpool and KitchenAid share the same platform — parts and repair procedures are identical. The most common failure in Denver's dry air: the water fill tube freezes, causing the ice maker to stop producing. Defrost kits are stocked on the truck and this can be resolved in under an hour. GE and GE Profile refrigerators most often need ice maker assembly replacements and inlet valve service — both high-frequency calls that Resolved same-day with stocked parts.

Refrigerator Lifespan: Should You Repair or Replace?
A standard refrigerator lasts 13–17 years. Sub-Zero and premium built-ins regularly reach 20+ years. The rule of thumb: if the repair cost is under 50% of a comparable new fridge and the unit is under 10 years old, repair almost always wins financially. A $250 defrost repair on a 6-year-old Samsung is a clear yes — you're extending a machine worth $1,200 new. If the compressor fails on a 14-year-old fridge and the repair quote exceeds $500, replacement likely makes more sense. An honest assessment is provided at diagnosis.
