Common Refrigerator Appliance Issues

There are some refrigerators that we don’t need to repair. Yes, that does sound strange coming from the expert technicians in appliance repair, but we don’t always need to come to service your icebox. There are plenty of common appliance issues that pop up constantly in our job. For the most part, the common issues can be quickly rectified same day without a call to the professionals.

Common issues include a clogged ice maker, a puddled floor around the base of the refrigerator, water leakage, a faulty valve or a frosty freezer section. Most of these issues can be fixed by you, and maybe a little trip to the hardware store. No matter the issue with your refrigerator or freezer, feel free to book a virtual consult with one of our technicians, if the issue can be troubleshooted, the appliance will be repaired same day.

Common Appliance Replacement Parts

These refrigerator repairs we just covered can be easily solved with a few replacement parts that you can find online. Door gaskets and valves are the most common repair item, and you can find a good gasket for much less than it costs to buy an entire refrigerator. Watch that you carefully remove all the screws before pulling off the old gasket. Here’s a handy trick for you. Soften your new gasket in warm water to make it easier to stretch into place on the door.

Other parts you might need include bulbs for the inside light, new crisper pans or shelving, door shelf bins, valves, tubes, or even water and ice filters. Find these replacement parts at your local hardware store in Toronto and be careful to match the part numbers to avoid unnecessary headaches and save some extra time.

Kitchen Appliance Brands We Repair

Looking for the perfect fridge repair in Southern Ontario? Unfortunately, no such things exist! Parts get rusty, bolts snap, wires come loose, valves break, and that’s just a start of some of the hard to spot errors with a refrigerator or freezer appliance. Although we don’t claim to be perfect, our decades of appliance repair experience tell a different story. Take a look at some of the quality brands our expert technicians are proud to service.

Some of our commonly serviced quality refrigerator appliance brands include Whirlpool fridge repairs, KitchenAid fridges, Samsung refrigerators, Bosch refrigerators, LG fridges, those fridges that have TV screens in them (why they exist, I don’t know, but we do service them). We service Frigidaire repairs, GE refrigerators, bar fridges, garage fridges, beer fridges (those are my personal favourite), Kenmore fridge repairs, and many more.

We also service a range of other kitchen appliances including stoves, ovens, dishwashers, washers, dryers, wall mounted ovens, freezers, electric stovetops, and many other appliances for both commercial and residential applications. Is there a fridge that we can’t service? Maybe. Remember that fridge from the fourth Indiana Jones movie? The one that survived the nuclear blast. Well we definitely would have been able to fix that appliance before it was used as an escape pod. 

Although, some models and makes require specialized tools or specific knowledge of that brand. We always stay up to date with the latest models and trends in our industry to be ready for any type of refrigerator and appliance repair across Toronto & Southern Ontario. For the best appliance service in all of Toronto and the surrounding area, you can count on Man with a Wrench.

Before Calling Appliance Repair Experts

In these days where it’s simple enough to hop on Google or YouTube, you can easily find guides and tips to becoming your own appliance repair handyman. Not everybody can be a “Bob the Builder”, for the rest of us, there is the internet. If you must repair a refrigerator in Toronto or Southern Ontario, you might be tempted to watch an expert repairman do it flawlessly and think, “Yeah I can do that.”

But can you really fix your own refrigerator? Should you? Can you become a make shift appliance repair person? The answer is yes, almost every common appliance project can be troubleshooted by you, and a YouTube video. But there are a few things you may want to keep in mind before broaching an appliance repair job: 

1. The refrigerator repair jobs done in videos are performed by experts. The technicians on those videos are very skilled at what they do, having done it hundreds of times before, so naturally, they make it look easy. 
2. Those appliance repair videos are edited, spliced, and care to show to only include the repairs that work the first time. They don’t include the bloopers or multiple attempts on the appliance repair, this is also commonly seen on websites.

Your appliance repair project could be a water line that needs to be blown, tightened, or a quick temperature adjustment. You get a nice confidence boost when you do the job yourself, but make sure you know what the real appliance issue is before you start acting like Tim Allen. 

For all your commercial and residential appliance repairs in Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area, you can count on our quality experts. On top of fridges we also fix other kitchen appliances including stoves, ovens, dishwashers, washers, dryers, wall mounted ovens, freezers, electric stovetops, and many other appliances.
