Ice cream soft in the freezer? Milk turning early? A fridge that runs constantly but never gets cold is usually a sealed-system, fan or defrost problem, not a lost cause. We check the condenser coils first, since Paterson kitchens are tight and many fridges sit crammed against a wall with no airflow. Water on the floor often traces back to a clogged defrost drain. We repair all major brands as an independent shop, and we move appliances in and out of narrow doorways without gouging your floors. Describe the symptom or use the quote form.
Taking calls until 5:00 PM ET

From Paterson we cover 07026, 07057 and 07070, plus Fair Lawn, Garfield, Clifton and Passaic.
Aim for 37 to 40 degrees in the fresh food side and around 0 in the freezer. Use a standalone thermometer in a glass of water overnight — built-in displays drift and often read what the board thinks, not what the air is.
Depends on what broke. A fan motor, thermostat, or defrost heater on a solid cabinet is usually sensible. A failed sealed system on an aging unit is a different conversation. We'll tell you honestly which one you're looking at.
That's the defrost cycle failing. The heater, thermostat, or timer stopped clearing frost from the evaporator, so it grows into a block and strangles airflow to the fridge side. Common repair, and the parts are usually available.
Yes. Built-ins need care coming out of their cabinets and often have condensers up top instead of below. We plan the pull before we start so nothing gouges your flooring or cabinet trim.
Tell us the symptom when you call us and we'll give you the next open window, often same week. Street parking near downtown and the Hillcrest blocks can be tight, so we ask which side of the street is clear and whether the basement door is around back.
Call us or fill out the form. Describe what you hear, smell or see. Brand and rough age help. We ask a few questions so the tech arrives with likely parts on the truck.
Pick a window that works. Our tech tests the machine, checks power, water and drainage, then explains what failed in plain words. No jargon, no guessing out loud at your kitchen table.
Most jobs finish the same visit. If a part must be ordered, we tell you what and why. If the unit isn't worth fixing, we say that too, and you decide.
Ask these of anyone you let into your home — us included. Call and we'll answer all five before you book anything.
Describe the fault, approve the written quote, get it fixed. Starting takes about a minute.
