Tell Maya what's happening — in your own words.
Open the FixGrid diagnostics chat and tell Maya AI what's happening — not cooling, ice build-up, leaking, loud compressor, or ice maker down. Include brand and model number if you have it so Maya can tailor the flow to your fridge.
- Step 2
Run the guided safety & component checks
Maya walks you through 3–6 quick, safe checks.
Maya guides you through 3–6 quick checks you can do yourself: door seal integrity, thermistor reading, evaporator fan spin, defrost cycle behavior, and condenser coil airflow. Each check rules a likely cause in or out before you touch a tool.

Verify the fix with Maya
Confirm the repair held — temperatures and cycle behavior.

Refrigerator repair — questions homeowners ask out loud
Short, conversational answers tuned for Alexa, Siri, and Google Assistant.
How much does it cost to fix a refrigerator?
Most refrigerator repairs cost $200 to $600 with parts and labor. Sealed-system work runs higher; we always quote flat-rate before starting.
Why is my refrigerator not cooling but the freezer works?
Usually a failed evaporator fan, a frosted-over coil, or a stuck damper. A same-day visit gets it cooling again in most cases.
How fast can you repair a broken refrigerator near me?
We dispatch same-day or next-morning across Maryland, DC, and Virginia, with priority scheduling for no-cool emergencies to protect your food.
Is it worth repairing a 10-year-old refrigerator?
If the compressor is healthy and the repair is under $500, repair is usually the smart move. We'll give you an honest repair-vs-replace recommendation on the spot.
Do you fix Sub-Zero, LG, and Samsung refrigerators?
Yes — our factory-trained techs repair Sub-Zero, LG, Samsung, Whirlpool, GE, KitchenAid, Viking, and Bosch refrigerators, including built-in and counter-depth models.
