Kelvinator refrigerator repair

• Fridge is warm but the freezer is cold

  Almost always airflow: a frosted-over evaporator, a failed evaporator fan, or a stuck damper between the two compartments.

• Nothing is cooling at all

  Points at the sealed system, the start relay or the main control board. We check the easy and cheap causes before condemning the compressor.

• Water pooling under the crisper or on the floor

  A blocked defrost drain is the usual cause, and it is a straightforward clear-and-flush. A split water line or a failed inlet valve is the other.

• Ice maker stopped filling or is jamming

  Inlet valve, fill tube heater, or the module itself. Freezer temperature that has drifted above 5°F will also stop an ice maker cold.

• Loud buzzing, clicking or humming

  Clicking every few minutes is a start relay failing to start the compressor. Buzzing usually comes from a condenser fan hitting ice or debris.

• Doors sweating or seals no longer sealing

  A door gasket that no longer holds a dollar bill lets humid air in, and the compressor then runs constantly to keep up.

• Thank you so much! Great customer service. Came and fixed our washer, looks good as new! Hire him

• Tim was very professional and did his job correctly but was sent a defective part. Ramin came and replaced the defective part and my stove works again. After an initial problem that wasn't their fault, masterfix did an excellent job. I would not hesitate to use them again. Thanks Tim and Ramin!

• My dryer was fixed immediately and the contractor gave me filter change recommendations. However, it was not cheap.

What goes wrong with Kelvinator refrigerators?

Defrost timers is the fault we attend most on this combination. Kelvinator refrigeration is now largely Frigidaire underneath, and older units are simple enough to stay serviceable.

How quickly can someone come out for a fridge that has stopped cooling?

Refrigerators get scheduling priority. Call before noon on a weekday and there is usually a same-day slot; the rest go to the next morning.

Is it worth repairing a refrigerator that is over ten years old?

It depends on the fault, not the age. A fan motor or a defrost heater on a well-built ten-year-old fridge is worth doing. A sealed-system leak on the same unit usually is not, and we will say so.

My fridge is cold but the ice maker died. Is that a separate repair?

Usually yes, and it is a common one. The ice maker has its own valve, heater and module, and any of the three can fail while the rest of the appliance runs perfectly.

Do you carry Kelvinator parts for this?

We stock the common failures listed on this page. Anything model specific is ordered after the diagnosis, and we tell you the wait before you commit. Every part carries 90 days of warranty.
