Refrigerator Repair
Undercounter refrigerators, refrigerator drawers and beverage centres, and the full-height built-ins they are fitted beside.
The diagnosis is a flat $89 and it comes off the total once you approve the work.
What people describe when they call
- An undercounter cabinet drifting warm while the column beside it holds
- A drawer front no longer pulling flush against its seal
- Water standing under a wet-bar unit after a warm afternoon
- A door seal gone hard in the dry air and no longer closing itself
What it usually is On an undercounter cabinet the answer is usually underneath it — a condenser furred with dust and seed, or the fan that pulls air across it. On a drawer or a beverage front it is usually the seal and the alignment, because a drawer that no longer shuts flush lets warm air in all day.
On the visit itself
- Cabinet temperature logged against the setting before anything is dismantled
- Condenser and condenser fan reached through the toe-kick grille and cleared
- Drawer and door alignment measured, and the seal checked along its whole run
- Drain trough and tube flushed where a wet-bar unit has been standing in water
What it costs
The six bands a quote comes from
Once the readings are in, a refrigerator repair lands in one of these six, dearest at the top. You are told which band it is, and the firm number inside it, before anything is opened up or ordered.
Before the band
One flat $89 pays for somebody to arrive and read the cabinet properly; approve the repair and that $89 leaves the bill again.
What you approve is one number, not a range: the band narrows to a figure once the fault has a name. Say no to it and the visit is all you have paid for, and nothing has been ordered in the meantime.
Repair Parts and labour, fitted
- Compressor or sealed-system repair
- $1,450–$3,030
- Electronic control board
- $450–$930
- Ice maker, water valve or supply line
- $280–$800
- Evaporator or condenser fan motor
- $330–$720
- Door gasket or seal replacement
- $300–$680
- Defrost heater, thermostat or sensor
- $280–$680
Ranges rather than starting prices. Two things move a figure within its band: the part, and how much cabinetry stands between a technician and the part. Against any of them, one comparison — a comparable built-in replacement, before installation and cabinetry work costs $12,600–$23,120.
Where to go from here
- What each repair costs Nine sheets, one per job, each built from a published band and what moves a job inside it.
- The Denver Wine Cabinet Handbook Seven parts on keeping a cabinet right between visits, from the door seal to the condenser grille.
- Wine Cooler Repair Zone drift, circulation and sealed-system work on Sub-Zero wine storage: undercounter cabinets, integrated columns and dual-zone units built into joinery with almost no clearance.
- Freezer Repair Frost, temperature drift and defrost faults on Sub-Zero freezer columns and freezer drawers.
- Ice Maker Repair Fill valves, harvest faults and bin sensors on built-in and undercounter Sub-Zero ice makers.
Where we take this one
Every place on the round has a page of its own about the housing stock and the kind of installation a cabinet ends up in there, which is usually what decides how long a call takes.

Twenties Tudor in Park Hill, and the built-in is boxed into original cabinetry, so I expected scratched paint the moment anyone moved it. He rolled it out on boards, cleaned a condenser packed solid with cottonwood fluff, and it cycles properly again.

Undercounter unit in a third-floor condo, service elevator only, and I assumed nobody would bother. He came the next morning. Seized compressor relay plus a choked condenser, one trip.

Water kept collecting under the crisper drawers of our column. Plugged drain, and a gasket gone stiff from the dry winter air. Both dealt with in one visit, though booking took the best part of a week.
